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.

Cards for October

Hi Everyone,
Sorry it's been a while since you heard from me!  But here I am again :)
Wow it's nearly the end of the month, so for next month I thought we'd settle into Christmas with 3 of the cards for the month, and one bright summery one!  Classes for these cards next month (November) are on the 1st Bendigo, 4th Maryborough and 8th (eve) Laanecoorie
 Let's start with the bright summery one, because I really love it! lol

Oh my goodness, I can't believe I hadn't bought this Iridescent Sequin Assortment before! and for 1c per sequin wow what awesome value!, got to show you a close up of them..... I've also used a new stamp set to me: Hello Friend, along with the Pattern Party Decorative Masks.

How gorgeous are they?!! I think I'm in love again! lol

Ok ok, I'll move onto card #2 (we'll come back to that later.......lol)
Right, the first of the Christmas cards!

this one uses the Merry Little Labels Stamp set (comes as a bundle with the Everyday Label Punch), the Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing folder (which I haven't used much before, but I really like the effect it gives!, what do you think?)  I've also used the 2" circle to punch out the saying, and the Starburst Punch under it, and what do you think of the bow? this is from the Holly Berry Builder Punch, and the extra bits are drawn on (no tying involved!)

Card #3 uses one of my favourite sets for Christmas words - Snowflake Sentiments, (comes as a bundle with dies) I think the font that's been used on the words is beautiful!

I've also used the Winter Wonder Embossing folder, but not as a folder through the Bigshot, just inked up and pressed on!  and the Houses are not stamped!  they're from the Just Add Colour Specialty Designer Series Paper, add a bit of Dazzling Diamonds and pop them up on Dimensionals (have to admit that I use Dimensionals all the time, have you tried them yourself?  did you know that dimensionals come in 2 sizes, and for $6 you get 300 big ones or 720 mini dimensionals! (and that doesn't include the outside bits that I cut up and use too)

Last but not least Card #4 I just had to use Every Good Wish Stamp set

I've teamed it up with Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist, and also *drum roll* the ultra gorgeous Year of Cheer Washi Tape (looks way better in real life than here)  Oh and not forgetting the leaf Punch (I really do hope this one moves into the next catalogue too, I use it so much!)

Well I did say that I'd get back to that first card, so thought I'd show you the other variations I made with the Pattern Party Decorative Masks....... Do you know what the pack is only $10 for the 4 masks, that's only $2.50 per mask! how's that for value!!

 

Saved the best for last (I think)  which one is your favourite?, let me know!

 

Ok well I hope this inspires you to create, and I look forward to seeing whoever can make it to the classes this month.

God Bless love
