How to stamp on your tags

Hi Creators,
I mentioned in one of the last videos that I should show you how to line up what you want to stamp on the pre-cut tags, so I've done another video for you!, it's just a short one.  It's kind of awkward sometimes getting the stamp exactly where you want it, I have used the Stamparatus to achieve this, if you don't have one trust me it's so worth the investment!  if you don't have one click on this link to check it out: Stamparatus

And now for the video......

I hope it makes sense to you, if not let me know!, and if you want to see any other ways of using the stamparatus just let me know.

Happy Creating
God Bless love

Class cards for April, with a difference...

Hi there Creators!

Well the Corona-virus seems to have brought the world to a standstill, however I don't believe it has to bring our creating to a standstill! especially as a spot of crafting is so de-stressing and helps us to focus on more positive thoughts!

So I'm bringing you ClassCards@home....  You bring the stamps, ink and glue, I'll "bring" the rest of the supplies.   Here's how it works, click on the link below by Friday 3rd April to order and pay for your kit, I will get the kits all organised over that weekend and mail them out on Monday 6th.
I'll be offering a video which I'll post on here, to show you how to pop your cards together, as well sending the usual paper instructions with your kit.

And here is my first ever ClassCards@Home..... cards :)

First card is a nice bright one using the Layering Circle dies, and the gorgeous Iridescent Sequin assortment.

 

The next card uses the 2 Daisy Punches - the larger one is just called Daisy Punch and the smaller one is called the medium daisy punch, I've paired it up with the Detailed Bands Dies

Card #3 uses the lovely "Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper", the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing folder, the Braided Burlap trim and the Label Me Lovely Punch

And the last card for April is this one which uses the brand new (from 1st April) Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper, The Ornate Layers Dies, White Flax Ribbon, and the Label Me Fancy Punch

 Bear in mind that all these cards use your own stamps and inks to put in the sayings.

Here is the secure link for payment: April 2020 ClassCards@Home Payment link 

I hope you can join us to do this ClassCards@Home class, if not I hope this post inspires you to create at home!

Class cards for March 2020

Hi there Creators,
honestly where do the months go to?!  Well in March I have the usual 3 classes (back to normal schedule) Wednesday 4th 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 5th 7.30pm in Laanecoorie and Saturday 7th 10am in Maryborough.  Also in March is the Picture to Page show on 14th and 15th (this is in Kangaroo flat at the Primary School)

Anyway on to the cards we'll be making at the classes.....
First up: this card uses the beautiful Morning Star stamp set it's one of the Distinktive stamp sets which means it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images (so cool!)   I've also used the rather cute Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper teamed up with a bit of Gold foil cardstock (as the Golden Honey has gold foil accents in it)  The Golden Honey Paper is actually a Sale-a-Bration product, so you do have to spend $90 to get it for Free, (you can't just buy it singly).

 Next up, I had a request to use these little fellas from Special Someone stamp set, and as my new dies "Special Day Dies" for it hadn't arrived by the time I was making this my mind was wandering off to how we were going to celebrate Sam's Birthday (who in fact is 9 today!)  and I was thinking of balloons...... and those weight things that keep them on the table (when they've got Helium in them)  So here we are.... Special Someone Stamp set, and the Balloon Bouquet Punch, I rather like it!

Onto creation #3 again I'm using a Sale-a-Bration product, this lovely cake from Happy Birthday to You Stamp set is so lovely to colour in, I've used the Shimmery White paper, so we can use the Aqua Painters, and watercolour it in. Oh and I've also used the really pretty From My Heart Faceted Gems.

 And last but not least I thought maybe we could do a little something different, so we're making this cute handbag, cut and stamped using the Dressed to Impress bundle, it really is a cute little handbag to put a special present into for someone, I also think it would make a nice little accessory for a small bridesmaid to carry down the aisle, or even for a spot of confetti!  Anyway after making mine I started wondering if it tied in with St Patricks day as I seem to have made it rather green (green being one of my favourite colours! lol) conveniently it kind of does tie in as it's on 17th March 😆

And that is the line up for the 3 March classes!  I'll aim to get another one done to show you Rosalies and my class projects for Picture to Page..... stay tuned!
But for now I hope these inspire you to create, and if you can make to any of the classes, do let me know!
Happy Creating,
God bless love

February class cards

Hi there Creators,
my goodness February is almost upon us!  Classes for Feb are: Wednesday 5th at 10.30am in Laanecoorie, and Thursday 6th 7.30pm in Laanecoorie (my classroom), then the other one is in Maryborough on Saturday 8th at 10am.  Love to have you join us if you can, but if you can't I hope you find inspiration in my offerings here:
I'm using a heap of the new goodies from the "mini" and Sale-a-Bration catalogues.  So let's get started!
First off the block: this paper is just gorgeous! it's called Best Dressed Designer Series Paper, it also has handbags, and shoes, accessories on other sheets too.  I've teamed it up with my fav new punch: Braided Border Punch, and the Sending You thoughts Stamp set, which has some fabulous sayings, and is a Sale-a-Bration product (you can't buy this one, when you spend $90 on other goodies, you can choose it for free)

 

 Next up:  this one uses the Birthday Jubilee stamp set and matching Jubilee Beauty dies, it's so pretty the trellis dies (there's 2 different ones in the pack, check them out by clicking on the link)

Card #3 I just had to buy this stamp set! Pedal to the Metal it's got a Ute, Buggy and motorbike (and with 3 boys - 4 including Tom (husband) it's the perfect set!), I've teamed it up with Let it Ride stamp set, I just think they go together well!

Then lastly I wasn't planning on getting this set, but after I saw someone else had used it and how gorgeous it was......  the Stone embossing folder and Power of Hope Stamp set are both Sale-a-bration items, in fact they come as a pair, so if you want them you'll need to find $180 of goodies to  purchase and pick these for free.  (actually not all that hard to do, finding $180 of goodies! lol)  anyway I've teamed it up with the lovely Woven Threads Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalogue, I think it works well for her dress, and I do love the saying! it means so much to me, as a Christian my faith is in God and He gives me hope to believe that all things are possible, which there are definite times in my life that I need that!

Well as Porky Pig says in the Looney Tunes Cartoons "That's all folks"!
I hope these cards inspire you to create!
God Bless love

January 2020 Mega Class

Hi there Creators,
Well January I'll be back with another one of my "Mega Classes", In Maryborough, this time I'm able to offer it as a mail out class as well :)

 At this class you'll be making 20 cards, using water-colouring technique.
If you can make it to the class it'll be on 25th January from 10.30am till 3.30pm and will cost $125, however in that you receive, not only making the cards, but 2 stamp sets, one punch, an Aqua painter, extra Designer Series Paper, Subway Lunch and more.....  the product value itself it estimated at around $140!  You'll need to bring with you

• a D clear block to put your stamps onto 
• a pair of good precise scissors

 If you have it I also recommend bringing your own (so you don't have to wait your turn) - make sure they're marked with your name!

• Tombow adhesive
• Black Stazon Ink Pad
• Stampin' Cleaner

Thought I'd mention the fact that everyone who has been to one of my mega classes has had so much fun, I rarely get people not returning to them, so if you want to come and join in the fun with us, you'll need to book and pay for your spot by 10th January, so I can get everything ordered and organised.

Not able to make it on the day?  why not have a mail out class!  with this you'll receive the same "hardware", obviously not lunch (might be a bit moldy by the time it goes through the mail lol)  You'd receive 2 packages, one direct from Stampin' Up! and one from me with your instructions and cardstock all pre-cut for you.  However in addition to the above "need to bring" and "recommended" lists you'll also need some colours to watercolour with, either paints or inks would work.  This class is priced at $110, again you'll need to book and pay for your place by 10th January.

If you're part of my team and are interested in coming let me know and I'll give you the "team" info, where you'll be purchasing your own "hardware" goodies and paying a fraction of the price for the class.

Sale-a-Bration and the new "mini" catalogue commence on 3rd January, I will be aiming to get copies out to everyone as soon as I can, and I'll be starting to add some of my creations with new goodies to here soon, so stay tuned!

Hope you all have a Happy and safe Christmas & New Year celebrations
God Bless
Love

Class in December 2019

Hi There Creators,
Wowsers we're onto December Classes! Which are all a week later so the first classes are Thursday 12 December 10.30am and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie then Saturday 14th, 10am in Maryborough, we're going to have a spot of Christmassy lunch together so if you're coming bring a little something to share.  With Christmas just around the corner, what better to create than Christmas Cards?

Card #1: how cute is this stamp set?  #Elfie it colours in so beautifully with the Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers), I've teamed it up with the limited time Christmas Time is Here, specialty designer series paper, gotta be quick to get this DSP!

Moving onto card #2: these Stitched Stars dies are fabulous! And it's paired with my favourite set from this holiday catalogue - Itty Bitty Christmas.

Card #4 is one I've been wanting to make for ages since I saw the Dog builder punch, and the Sprig punch: Reindogs! lol teamed up with the matching stamp set Happy Tails, and I thought it went really well with this saying from Itty Bitty Christmas.

Ok and onto the last class card for the year! I just had to use the Snowfall accents puff paint. Oh and the die set that goes with my favourite stamp set (and Yea! they bundle up with a 10% discount!) Itty Bitty Christmas Bundle (guess where the stamp comes from lol) then I've also used the Gleaming Ornament Punches, Shimmery Crystal Effects and the Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper.

And that's it!  I really hope you can come and join us, but if not - I hope these have inspired you to create in your space 😊
God Bless love
