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 call

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 req

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 Beau

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 Ha

Hi there Creators, Well just recently there was a Stampin' Up! sale and this stamp set Inspiring Iris was on the list, I've admired it for a long time, so I finally bit the bullet and bought it! Oh my goodness it's gorgeous!! I thought it was perfect for #simplestampin' because all you need is paper and ink and you have really pretty simple cards, so here goes..... here's the stamp set itself I teamed it up with the Very Vanilla Notecards and envelopes (nice and easy!) And this is how the cards came out... the bottom one is probably my favorite, followed by the carnation, and in fact out of all the stamps there's only 2 stamps I didn't use on the front of the cards!  not bad going eh? so I used the long pattern on the back of the cards and the only one that didn't get used is the tiny 5 dot flower one (yea go me!  lol) So let me know what you think, which card is your favorite out of these? and what would you do differently? Happy Cr

They're called "Playful Penguins" , I've also used the fabulous Frosted Frames dies , and also some of Shimmery Crystal effects with the new Ice Stampin' Glitter , I wasn't going to get it, but then I saw someone else's and it's rather cool!  the glitter has a consistency of granulated sugar.   moving onto the 2nd Christmas card....GOLD it's so Christmassy!  I've got the Gold foil cardstock, the new Golden Glitz ink pad ........  And I've used the So Many Stars Stamps and the Stitched Stars dies (which are really amazing)  and fabulously the 2 come as So Many Stars bundle yea for 10% off!   last Christmas card..... this one uses up some Christmas paper scraps, gotta love that?!  I've also u
