Something Saturday - Christmas Ephemera

Image
 Hi there Creators, Today I thought I'd show off the new Ephemera/ Mix & Match packs in the new Mini Sept to Dec Catalogue. Yay for Christmassy stuff! In the video I just showed off all the components of each: Christmas Greetings Mix & Match specialty Cards & Envelopes (lovely gold foil on them) Greetings for you Mix & Match Ephemera Pack Joyful Days Memories & More Card Pack Christmas Tags & More 6x6" Mix & Match Specialty Designer Series Paper I also mentioned that I'm happy to do up 1/2 packs of these bundled together.  I have worked out the price to be $40 plus postage if I have to mail it out to you.  Let me know if you are interested in this. Also if you're keen to use these, but lack inspiration, I'll be offering a class (see details below the photos).   For these pictures I have just laid the pieces on top of the base cards, not stuck down, but just to check layouts, I've added a bit of the Real Red Shiny ribbon in the first ...

Something Saturday - Night Sky Pastels

Take a dark coloured cardstock (I used Night of Navy in the video), then lightly grate pastels onto ...

February Class Cards

 Hi there Creators, Feels like ages since I've done a regular class!  however not quite back to normal yet, February's class is on Wednesday 9th Feb 10.30am or 7pm, it'll be a $20 class for the 4 cards, with written instructions and envelopes.  Then March we'll get back to the first Wednesday of the month. So I'm guessing you want to see the cards? First up, you'll get to pick which card you make but essentially it uses the same stamp sets (Amazing Silhouettes and In the Moment) and the Soft Pastels Assortment.  Check out what I used here:  What Heather used Then this next card I've used the gorgeous Very Versailles, such a pretty stamp set!  Check out the products I used here:  What Heather Used Third Card uses this lovely spread of flowers from Blessings of Home Stamp set.  Check out the products I used for this card here:  What Heather Used And lastly I've used the Gentle Waves Stamp set, to create (what I think looks waterfall-like) howe...
