Something Saturday - Last Chance List plus a simple card

 Hi There Creators,

Today I went through some of my goodies that are on the Last Chance List (click the link to see the list).

There's a heap that have been reduced, and heads up, check the individual prices before ordering the bundle, it may work out cheaper!

So then I saw a card design on a FB reel and thought that is so cool (and simple) I couldn't resist having a go and passing my "newfound" knowledge on to you all😃 (gotta love me🤣)

I'm pretty sure the lady showing it off called it a Split Scene card, and I confess I did use the same Designer papers as she did (although I did ring the changes with stamps and ephemera choices)

Here is the first card I made (all retiring goodies), I used the North Pole Delivery Designer Paper, and the Traditional Labels Stamp set how cute is the little dog that presses out from the Designer Paper?

Then in the video I made up this one, also using the North Pole Designer Paper, but this time incorporating the Christmas Greetings Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes, and the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.  It's such a great way of using up really busy Designer Papers

All you need to create this is a base card, Designer Paper 3 - 4cm smaller than your base card, a mat around 1cm bigger than your designer Paper, and a piece of white (or plain) colour card, same length as your designer Paper, but shorter height, as you'll be cutting it in 1/2, so maybe 3cm shorter.

Then you cut a wavy pattern in the white and stick it all together, add some ephemera/ stamps/ sayings etc and voila!  If you plan to stamp, potentially you might want to do that before sticking it all down!

Anyway if you missed the video, here it is....

I hope you are inspired by my creations

Something Saturday - Mini Catalogue what's retiring

 Hi there Creators,

Today I thought I'd show you what's retiring from the Mini Catalogue (and what's being reduced, which isn't much!)  You'll find that lots of bundles are retiring but the products in them aren't, which means that if you want a 10% discount on them you need to buy them before they head into the new catalogue or online as individual items  (of course you could always join my team and get a 20% discount on all your goodies😉)

At the end of the video I end up showing off the Forever Love Specialty Designer Series Paper, and something a bit different you can do with it, also the beautiful Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes.  And here's what I ended up doing with them:

I used some of my Stampin' Blend alcohol markers to colour them in (a little time consuming, but totally worth it!)

I ended up deciding to colour in the vanilla background with the pool party markers too, I really like the way it turned out!  with this card I used both the light and dark colours of blends to create the depth in the flowers and leaves. Then I finished it off with the Pool Party Grosgrain ribbon (makes such a nice bow this ribbon)

 

The pretty peacock Forever Love Specialty DSP only needed the darker colours of the markers to be used as the lighter ones didn't show a difference.

Then the finished card uses the Faux Gold Leather Trim to finish it off, I love this effect, and it pairs up SO well with this paper!

Don't forget to check out the "Last Chance List" and find yourself some bargains (or potentially grab a few things before they're gone!)  If you're order is under $250 use this link to do your order and you'll go into the draw to "win" the host benefits: Order Under $250  If it's over $250 use this link Order Over $250 and you'll get your own rewards 😊

Hope this inspires you to create

Something Saturday - Look what's retiring

 Hi There Creators

Today we're taking a look at some of the goodies that will be retiring from the Annual Catalogue (specifically ones that I currently own!)  I go through them in the video and mention if they're being discounted on 9th April, but bear in mind if you specifically want something, sometimes it's best not to wait, as things can be sold out before you realise it!  Here is the retiring list for the Annual Catalogue: Last Chance Annual Catalogue List

The Mini Catalogue is also retiring, but I haven't focused on that today, maybe I should next week, we'll see.....  anyway here is the retiring list for the Mini Catalogue:  Last Chance Mini Catalogue List

(I'm really hoping those links work!)  there is a heap retiring and it's worth checking if it was bundled whether the bundle is still cheaper or if it's worth purchasing the individual items separately if they've both been reduced to less than the bundle price (if that makes sense?) 

Anyway I'm not going to list them all now, I'll just show you what I created at the end of the video with the absolutely gorgeous Artisitically Inked Stamp set (being reduced from $42 to $29.40) , and although I didn't use them for these cards, the Artistic dies are being reduced from $61 to $30.50! (bargain!!)

I accidentally stamped the saying on a "wonk) so then had to stamp a whole heap more to make it look authentic 🤣  I mentioned in the video I felt it needed a bit of bling, so I've actually used some of the gorgeous Gilded Leafing, which is sadly also retiring (going from $15.75 to $7.87)  recommend you watch a video on using this before you open the container!  pretty sure this one here tells you about it: Artistically Inked with Gold Gilded Leafing

wasn't sure how well the gilded leaf would show up so I took a close up too 😁

Then after the video I thought I should probably use some of the retiring inks too....  so this one uses all the retiring In Colour Inks (and now I realise how much I actually like Orchid Oasis!)  Anyway retiring In colours are: Sweet sorbet, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis.

And again just in case it didn't show up well in the big photo the bling: 2022 - 2024 In Colour Pearls (which incidentally are going from  $12.25 to $6.12)  sooo pretty......

I hope you get the chance to check out the lists, and if you're not on my email list to receive these and other things, let me know!

Here is the video in case you missed it:

 

Hope these inspire you to create
