Tag Card for September

Hi There!

Thought I'd reveal the card that you will get the components to make when you place an order with me this month (and just explain briefly how to put it together!)
Here is the card: (colours look much better in real life, despite several attempts at photographing it!)

Notice the re-occurrence of the Botanical Tags Framelits? did I mention how much I love these dies lol! I've also used the Perennial Birthday stamp set for the wording.

The tag itself is this bit, I'm showing here how to add the green colour behind the leaves, just trim the green till it fits, and stick it down!

Add the tag ribbon to the back of the Highland Heather piece of card, I've added 2 lines of Snail Adhesive down the back of the sheet then laid out the ribbon on it, to attach it down, I've then gone with dimensionals to add this to my card, and attached the tag on top.

Doesn't it look good with the green under the leaves? and that Berry Burst Metallic Edge ribbon is so soft and way more vibrant in colour than I can manage to photograph :(

I have a special offer on top of this for those who order from me this month, see below:

What we did at Coffee&Cards Class

Hi there,

thought I'd share with you the creations we made at my Coffee&Cards Class in Dunolly on 23rd.
I'm having a bit of a thing with small cards at the moment lol, so I thought what better than to showcase the Notecards and Envelopes that have been around for ages, also the Narrow Notecards and Envelopes (which are currently in the Occasions catalogue and will be moving into the new Annual Catalogue) and also the little 3x3 envelopes, which fit small cards, you can get 6 of them out of a piece of A4 cardstock.

Anyway I'm pretty sure you didn't come here to hear me waffle on, so onto the cards!

So this first one is the one using the Vanilla Notecards and envelopes, (at only 53c per notecard and envelope they're very economical, and very handy to not have to cut and score you're own!) we also used one of the gorgeous Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers, just cut in 1/2 and the ladies loved that they are really stickers so just peel off the backing!  You can't really see it but the dark circle is actually gold foil card, and the die cut and stamps are from the beautiful Eastern Beauty Bundle (which is only a bundle till the end of this catalogue, so if you want it get it soon, 10% off with the bundles, or pay the extra when it moves to the new Annual Catalogue!)

Moving on..... The Narrow notecards and envelopes next on my list, we created this cute little card:

this one uses the Stamp set Perennial Birthday that goes with the Perennial Birthday Project kit, again the kit is only available while stocks last, but yay the stamp set continues into the new catalogue!  We put a piece of Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper behind the stamped bit, and although it looks like the flower has been cut out, it has actually been stamped by being inked up with the Stampin' Write markers to give it that mottled effect.

The final card we created is this cute little card:

This time I've used a stamp set that actually comes in one of the kits - Soft Sayings Card kit, it's a gorgeous kit that includes everything to make 20 cards, I'd already made up my cards, but the stamps are just lovely!, and Yay this whole kit is moving forwards into the next catalogue!  I mentioned that you can get 6 cards out of a A4 sheet to fit in the 3x3 envelopes, so here is the way to do that:

1. Cut your A4 sheet in half to A5 size
2. Take your A5 sheet and having it portrait, score down the middle at 7.4cm from top to bottom
3. then cut into 3 pieces (side to side) 7cm wide, and fold at your score line
4. repeat with the other A5 piece, and you'll have 6 mini cards (so cute!)

If that didn't make sense, let me know and I can do a little video on it for you.

Well I hope this inspires you to create "little cards" they're so cute and easy!  If you are putting an order in, do use the Open Hostess code: SBN2669E, and you'll go into the draw to win the free goodies, code is valid till around 28th April.

God Bless love

Cards for March

Hi There,
Oh my goodness we're almost in March!  So here are the cards I'll be teaching in my 4 card classes first one is on this coming Saturday, in Maryborough at 10am, then the other 2 classes are on the 14th, at 10.30am and 7.30pm in my Classroom in Laanecoorie. Do let me know if you plan to come :)

Ok first card off the rank!  I've decided to use a doily (trust me this is really rare lol)  and also the ultra cool Brusho powders (so much fun)  I made up 2 just to make sure I could do it (and because it was fun, and it shows other colours......)  Also used the Perennial Birthday stamp set.

Moving onto card #2: I'm pretty sure I've blogged this card before, but Oh my goodness aren't the Party Pandas just so darn cute?  The Party Pandas are a Sale-a-bration set, so when you order $90+ you can pick this set for FREE!  this is only available till the end of March, so get in quick!  I've also used the fabulous Myths and Magic Glimmer Paper to create the balloon and the Starburst punch behind the pandas, with a touch of the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper on the side.

 Where are we up to? oh #3 :) this could be my favourite card!  I just love the elegance, and intricacy of this stamp.  Again this is a Sale-a-Bration stamp Heartfelt Blooms , so Purchase $90+ of goodies and you could choose to have this stamp set for FREE! I've teamed it up with the lovely Vanilla and Gold, Gold Edge Metallic Ribbon.

Ok last but not least:  I really wanted to use these bottles as I think they're perfect for a mans card, and lets face it men's cards are not so easy to come by!  This uses the Bubble Over Photopolymer bundle,  It took a while to work out this card, but I'm happy with it and hubby reckoned it was ok! I have also used the Celebrate You thinlit dies (or at least one of them!) This is also a Sale-a-Bration item, when you purchase $180+ you can choose these dies for FREE!  (or you can wait till the new Annual Catalogue and purchase them then!)

Do let me know what you think of the cards, and if you plan to come to any of these classes.  The fee for the class is $15, you receive instructions and envelopes with your cards.

God Bless love
