Something Saturday - Brightest Birthday Kit

  Hi there Creators Today we're checking out one of the new kits, I have to say WOW!, maybe it's the holographic blingy bits (ooooo bling....🤣)  if you're a regular reader of my blog or watch my YouTube or Facebook channels then you'll know I can't resist bling.  Anyway check out the kit here: Brightest Birthday Kit And here are the cards it makes.... oh and their matching (also blingy) envelopes. Then you'll notice on the first card with the balloons it has a box that has the holographic outline, which is actually a sticker, so in the video I show you how to get the sticker off and onto a separate piece of card without having to pick it off and re-piece it yourself.

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

 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...
