Hi Creators, if you have ordered from me this month you'll receive a tag on your bag, I've included the extras to make this card, so thought I'd drop in quickly and explain how to pop it together! first up here is the tag, it's small but cute!  I've used the Tabs for Everything stamp set, which has this cool line stamp perfect size to cut out with the 1" circle punch , I've backed it with the 1 1/8" scallop circle punch , using the Champagne foil sheets , then it's hung using the rose metallic thread . So then onto the card itself!  take your piece of Designer Series 3x6" paper, and fold over around 1cm at one end of it, attach it down to your card (and attach the flap down)  then attach down the die cut Tropical Thinlit piece.  Then take your tag, add adhesive to the back of it and loop the thread around till your happy with the way it looks and attach this to your card too, Voila you're all done! I hope you enjoy making up your...

Hi there Creators, Well almost at the end of March, and so here are the cards I'll be teaching in April.  The class dates are Wednesday 3rd 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 4th at 10.30am and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie, then Saturday 6th at 10am in Maryborough.  Do let me know if you plan to come to one of the classes (and haven't done so already). Best start showing you the cards!  This first one uses the stunning Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder , which is currently a Sale-a-Bration item till the end of March, so spend $90 and you can choose it for FREE! (you can't purchase this one at the moment).  I've also used the Label Me Pretty Stamp set with Matching Pretty Label Punch , and the lovely chunky ribbon is Gray Granite Textured Weave Ribbon .   Card #2, I thought we hadn't used the Stampin' Blends for a while (don't forget if you're using the Blends they are alcohol markers so you need to use memento ink for your ba...

Hi there Creators, I was playing around a bit with the pretty Sweet Pins & Tags , and discovered just how gorgeous they are!  Whilst doing so I thought of something someone was saying the other day, how they used to like receiving the kits to create cards that the ladies in my Craft@Home group receive, and I thought maybe I could start creating limited kits to purchase. With that in mind here is my very first March@Home Kit, it's limited to 7 kits in total (first in best dressed as they say), you'll receive these 3 cards to create, all the elements inc envelopes except, Stamps & Ink, scissors and adhesives, with instructions, the cost is $13 with $2 postage if I need to mail it to you. thought I'd show you a close up of the gorgeous tags: Do you see the shimmer round the edge of each? I've used the Butterfly Gala Stamp set for the sayings in mine, but you could substitute it with other sayings. Do let me know what you think, or if you'd lik...

Hi There Creators, Turning my thoughts towards Picture to Page Show on the 16th & 17th March (oh my goodness this weekend!!), I thought I might make a 3D project (although it's not what I started making lol) So, I was playing around with the Eastern Medallion thinlits, specifically the little 6 petaled flower, and having tried to do something else I suddenly thought how nice it would look if it was done in a row with maybe DSP underneath.  Still might look nice done that way, just didn't turn out that way lol however it does look rather nice with Gold glimmer under it!  Anyway while I was making this card it occurred to me that a little box would look equally fabulous with these little flowers round the outside of it, drum roll........ And guess what? it does! although it's awfully hard to photograph, so I'll show you a couple of photos. once I'd made the cute little round box, then I felt it needed a little cone shaped lid, I'm so chuffed with i...

Hi there Creators Well.... I found this amazing card on Pinterest (as you do) and thought I've got to have a go at that! it's by Mixed Up Craft, and here's the link: Tricorn Style Fold Card in case you want to see it too, I made mine up from an A5 card as I really hate to waste cardstock by cutting it to inches!  So at some point I might do up a quick video just to convert it to A4 format for you! Anyway after doing up my draft I then proceeded onto my "proper card" and all was going well till I realised I'd scored it all wrong lol, however as I really don't like to waste cardstock I persevered on with it, and I really liked what I accidentally made, so I figured I'd share it with you, I'm pretty confident you won't find this anywhere else, and if you have a more inspiring name for it than my fancy fold mistake card, please let me know!  I was wondering about Fancy Fold Arrow card, what do you think? So after all this talking I'm su...

Hi there Creators, Coming up soon is the Picture to Page show at the Primary School in Kangaroo Flat 16th & 17th March.  Rosalie, Cindy and myself will be there again.  Once again we'll be offering classes throughout the weekend, so I thought I'd give you the heads up!  If you're part of my team and you want to learn what I'm teaching, let me know, and we'll organise a team gathering 😊 Anyway, what am I teaching?  Oh I'm so glad you asked lol I thought I'd teach 3 ways to watercolour, and here are the cards I'll be teaching:  My class cost is $20 with $10 redeemable against a $90 order (which will also qualify you for a FREE Sale-a-Bration item)  I will be teaching this on Saturday at 1-2pm and Sunday 2.30 -3.30pm Rosalie is going to be teaching this gorgeous little matching bag and Card (Rosalies' projects are always so neat and feminine) Rosalie is charging $15 for her class, and will be running it Saturday 11am-12noon, and Sunday 1-2p...

Hi Creators, I know I say it every month, but but wow another month almost gone!!  March is a busy month with Picture to Page show in Kangaroo Flat happening the weekend of 16th/17th March, click this link to find out more info .  Anyway on with the cards for March..... Class dates are: Saturday 2nd 10am Maryborough, Wednesday 6th 10.30am Laanecoorie, and Thursday 7.30pm Laanecoorie. First up, I was asked for a spot of watercolouring, and I figured this card would work for a male or female card. I've used the Well Said bundle that has heaps of words! (both dies and stamps) with a spot of watercolouring in the background. Incorporating a bit more watercolour this next card has gorgeous watercoloured butterflies And I just love, love, love! this stamp set Life is Grand, and the Butterfly Gala with the matching Butterfly Duet Punch are also fabulous! Next up I had to use some of the absolutely amazing Sale-a-Bration Grapefruit Grove or Lovely Lipstick foil cardsto...
