Have you seen the Blossoming Basket Bundle?

Hi there,
Well - have you seen it yet?  It's in the 2nd wave of Sale-a-Bration items, and it's a second level item, so you can choose to have this bundle for FREE with an order of $180!  And gee it's beautiful! I wasn't convinced till I played with Jenny's stamp set and embossing folder the other day.........

I'm going to add a video to show it in it's proper glory!

having said that of course I now have it, it arrived a day or two ago, and sadly with preparations for the Picture to Page show this weekend I haven't had a chance to play much with it :(

I'll work on that next week ......lol

Ok well if you're in the area, don't forget to pop into the Picture to Page show in Kangaroo Flat this weekend, it's open Satuday 9 till 4 and Sunday 10 till 4

Hope this inspires you to create!

And now for something different!

Hi There,

I saw a couple of videos done by Jennifer McGuire, where she's used dies to create borders on her cards, partial cutting using the bigshot, so I was inspired to give it a go.....  thought I'd share with you!

This was my initial go, have to admit it was a little tricky to cut out the excess bits, I've used the beautiful dies from Flourish thinlits, which considering you get 10 beautiful dies is remarkably good value at $49!
then I tried out the flowers in the same Flourish thinlits, and made it into a card;

Couldn't resist adding the Glitter Enamel Dots in the centre of the flowers (they're so pretty!)

then moving on...... (I had some Old Olive cardstock cut to the right size, hence all the green lol)

I've gone back to the big die in the set to create the top border, and the scalloped line at the top was the pink cut out on the previous card (good to use up the proverbial scraps)  considered the fact that I've not used the pink's washi tape for some time, so Basics pack 1 was brought into action, managed to use all bar 1 of them! (go me!!)  Oh and of course the Celebrate is from the Celebrate You thinlit dies (currently a Sale-a-Bration item, purchase $180 and you can choose them for FREE! Yay)

Ok well the last card (save the best for last) is the first piece actually made up into a card, drum roll........

Da, Da..... lol, I think it turned out really well, again I've incorporated the Celebrate You thinlits, but then I had to find something for the side, and I found it in the Seasonal Layers thinlit dies, there's a nice scallop, which I've cut 3 times to get the layers.   (can't say layers with out hearing Shrek and Donkey, Oh the joys of children lol)  Just looking at the value of the set again, you get 17 dies in the Seasonal Layers Thinlits and it's only $56! that's only $3.30 per die!, and there's really only one die that you'd probably want to have the stamp to (let me know if you work out which die it is!)  Oh my goodness I'm feeling inspired to go and play with it now lol......

Ok well I hope these inspire you to dig out your dies and have a play (perhaps purchase something from me....... 😀)
Better go while ideas are still floating around in my head lol

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.

Well Picture to Page show in Kangaroo Flat is fast approaching on the weekend 10th March from 9am till 4pm and 11th March 10am till 4pm. Rosalie and I will be there on the Saturday to be joined by Cindy on the Sunday.

Tag Card for February

Hi there, 

thought I'd share with you the card you'll be receiving if you place an order with me this month, and also the tag that you can create into a card that will be hanging on your bag!

First up is this special thank you card for you, it uses the amazing Heartfelt Blooms Sale-a-Bration set, you can get this set for FREE! when you purchase $90 of goodies, it's available till the end of March. This stamp is amazing! it's called a Distinktive(R) stamp, and this new design of stamp lays down ink at different opacities giving the finished image that amazing depth.

 

Here is the "tag" card that you'll also receive to create, use the tag from your bag, I've used the cute Flying Home stamp set, colour it in, add the 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper together (I've used Tutti Fruitty),  Add them across the middle of your card base, add a dotted line along the top and bottom edge, and then adhere your tag to your card (I used dimensionals to lift it up a bit)

Don't forget when you order $90+ you can choose a FREE Sale-a-Bration product, this goes through to the end of March, so make the most of it, if you'd like to order, either let me know, or you can order direct online, just click the "shop here" tab above or on one of the blue links.

I hope these inspire you to create!
