Hi there Creators I figured I'd try my hand at an "impossible" card today (not to be confused with the never ending card🤣) But, just quickly don't forget to check out the retiring bargains in my Stampin' Up! shop (there's some great reductions!😉) I think it's called "impossible" due to the fact it is made from one piece of A6 cardstock I used the gorgeous Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper and the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle (Stamps, dies, embossing folder)  I figured they actually went quite nicely together. The card I made up and showed in the video is this one: I wanted a pop of colour hence the butterflies ended up in Berry Burst with some of the lovely Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearls on them then as I ended up cutting 2 sets of designer Paper I also made up this card , and coloured in the paper using Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers) so I could get graduation of colours. I reckon you could probably make this card any siz...

 Hi there Creators Coming soon to a classroom near you.......🤣 Well, specifically Laanecoorie on 2nd May 1pm, then on 10th May 10.30am in Maryborough.  (the links for new goodies won't work till after the catalogue goes live on 7th May) First up using the new Turtle Textures Embossing folder then continuing on with new goodies, and the Cheers & Sips Bundle and the Celebratory Sips Designer Series paper , the Glass & Gardens Embossing folders & the Holographic Resin Dots  Although to be honest I recommend getting the entire Celebratory Sips Suite as the only thing missing from my round up is the ribbon! but wait the ribbon got used on this card.... Gold Striped Mesh ribbon (see told you, you need the suite!)🤣 this card uses the Spring Corners Bundle . And last but not least using the new Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper, and a spot of heat embossing If you can make it to either of the classes, do let me know, if you can't I hope these inspire you t...

 Hi there Creators having reviewed the video I notice the white cards of this kit really didn't show up well (I'm so sorry!) On a positive note I did have a play around with the rest of kit and came up with some ideas, so check them out below...... If you do want to purchase the kit check it out here: Thankyou Kindly Kit . Here are the cards as they're meant to be made: They're much nicer in person than the photos make them out to be!  anyway I thought I'd try something different with them and this is what I came up with... I used the leaves as a mask to create the soft background, by which time the leaves were green, so I added more (Old Olive) to the stems, and a bit of Blueberry Bushel to the circle edges, and voila, you can actually see the texture in the paper of the circles (same as the envelopes and white rectangle in the other card.  I think it looks quite fresh in these colours. Then the other card I chose to use some of the lovely subtles colours: Soft Sea...

 Hi Creators I thought I'd show off a couple of the new Designer Series Papers coming up in the new Annual Catalogue.  The catalogue will "go live" for customers on 6th May, but if you want to get your hands on some of these goodies earlier you could join my team (and like me order them early!)😁 Joining is so easy, you pick out $235 of goodies (you can pick from the brand new stuff too) and only pay $169 (how's that for a deal?!)  You then get an ongoing discount on all your orders of 20%, plus you also qualify for the free 10% of any $35+ orders to spend on a future order (in essence giving you a 30% minimum saving) Win, Win!  The requirement after that to remain a "demo" is to order (through your own and /or others orders) around $470 per quarter, works out to just under $160 month (about $40 a week)  not so bad when you work it out to a weekly amount is it🤣  Anyway if your interest is "Piqued" ask me or check out more here: Join my team . On t...

 Hi there Creators, Today I thought I'd show you something I saw at the Picture to Page show recently, the fold kind of fascinated me, so I went home and mocked up a practice one (and after several attempts with scrap paper finally got it worked out!) A4 style 😁 I decided to use the  Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper   partly because I keep forgetting to use it, and I do love the gold foiling in it.  I ended up using Peach Pie A4 Card and B lueberry Bushel A4 to create the base cards with, then used the Nested Essentials Dies (so glad I bought these as they're incredibly useful), and Simply Said stamp set , which is my "go to" set, when I don't know what else to use🤣. Here are the finished cards: and just a few more photos to show you the back, side and bottom.... So to create.... The peach card (portrait) take a piece of A4 cut in 1/2 lengthways, and score in 1/2 at 14.8cm, from the 1/2 way point across the top fold of the card score down...

 Hi There Creators, Guess what? it's that time of the week again for Something Saturday!😃 This week I happened to be scrolling through Facebook and came across this origami envelope quick video, so I have deciphered the video (you know how they do it and it's so fast!) And I've worked out if you do it with 12x12" cardstock you get an envelope worthy of a card, and a 6x6" piece gives you a gift card sized envelope. Here they are: then I'll try and explain how to make them...... This first one is made using one of the 12x12" pieces of  Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper and this smaller one uses one of the 6x6" pieces of Full of Life Designer Series Paper Now, how to create these envelopes: take your square piece of designer cardstock, and fold in 1/2 diagonally Open it up and fold one side in to the middle: then fold as shown: open up the bottom flap and fold in the sides fold up the bottom tuck the point bit inside the envelope (you might want t...

 Hi there Creators Today I'm showing off a card that one of my friends (and downline) Lee-Allan sent me which is an easy pop up card (very easy) 😃 she has taken it from Lynn Dunn (Easy Inside Pop Up Card) I've used the lovely Storybook Moments Specialty Designer Series Paper, which is so darned cute, but I haven't been able to work out how best to use it, so I'm thrilled that this works! I also used the Tiny Bee trinkets on the card, perfect for a little bit of embellishment I then got a bit carried away and made another card.... I borrowed a saying from You are Remarkable Stamp set for this one, and cut a slit in the wheelbarrow for the little rabbit with the radish to sit in. Now for the measurements: You'll need a card cut from A4 cardstock, so it's lengthways, ie 10.5cm across and scored at 14.8cm Then a piece of 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (DSP),  cut a piece off for the front 5.8cm, then trim off some from the end to make it 14.3cm long The ot...
