Hi there Creators, This Something Saturday I couldn't resist using the fabulous Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks (158142 $17.50) .  I've been using them a heap as I've been prepping for my Mega Class on 29th January.  They're so cool!! Lol Anyway this time I figured I'd show how to make a single layer card, I think I used all but one of the masks. Here is the initial card I had made up before the video I'd used the Regals colour palette for this card: Real Red for the butterfly, Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss for the central flowers, Cherry Cobbler for the single flower, and Shaded Spruce for the leaves,  Oh and Crushed Curry on the background   Then this card I made in the video using Brights colours palette, (and a sneaky subtle...) I've used Flirty Flamingo for the butterfly, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point for the central flowers, Mango Melody for the single flower, with Granny Apple Green for the leaves, then Soft Sea Foam for th

 Hi there Creators,  Today I'm showing you how to use daubers to colour in your block image stamps, you can get the prettiest combinations of colour onto one stamp this way. I've used the Boughs & Blossoms Bundle (157712, $59.25)   (from the new Mini Catalogue) made up of the Bough Punch (157711, $31) and the Boughs & Blossoms Stamp set ($35, 157703)  I'd already decided I had to have the punch, and as it turns out we're using it in the Mega class on 29th January.  But when I see bundles I usually have to get both sections of it!  However the punch doesn't actually cut any of the stamped images out. Anyway on to photos..... this is the first card I had made up already to show, I've used my Brights colours on this, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody and Poppy Parade for the flowers, then Granny Apple Green and Garden Green for the leaves (admittedly Garden Green isn't in the Brights colour range but it goes well!)     Then in the video I made up this card

 Hi there Creators, For my Something Saturday this week, I'm showing off Stampin' Up!'s blender pens (to view them click the link), they're really cool!  they have no colour at all, but you can pick up colour and then colour in your stamped images with them! These are the cards I made after the video with the bits I made in the video☺ There are different ways to pick up the colour with the blender pens.  I show 5 in the video The first I show, is to stamp in the colour you want to use, and use the blender pen to "pull" the colour from the edges into the image, the mouse in this card uses this technique.   the second technique is on the pencil which is coloured using blender pen to pick up colour from the pastels, literally just wiping the blender pen across the pastel and colouring with it. Both of these techniques give quite a nice soft look. Next is picking up colour by squeezing my ink pad (while it's still closed) this gives you ink on the inside of t

 Hi there Creators, Well today I'm showing how to make a really simple cascade card, once you've got the dimensions worked out you can make it in any size. I couldn't remember the name of this to begin with and waterfall card, accordion card both came to mind, but after a spot of googling, it's actually called a Cascade card! Here is the finished article (which will be off to my friends who are getting married this afternoon, so they shouldn't be able to see this post!)   As you can see I ended up having to create an envelope too for the card, as it was just too big for a standard envelope (plus this dresses the outside up nicely!)😉  How gorgeous is this Edens Garden Paper? and the meadow dies I think go nicely with it.  I couldn't resist using some of my favourite Garden Gems too (sad to think at the end of the year the Eden's garden paper and gems will retire 😢)  So if you want some get them now!! See this link for the products I used in this card:  What

 HI there Creators, I saw these really pretty baubles on pinterest, and thought I'd give it a go, she cut all hers by hand, Yikes!! I took the easy way out and used punches lol.  I picked out the Label me Lovely Punch , and the other things you'll need are ribbon and an adhesive that will draw a fine line - I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow to most) They are remarkably simple to make, punch yourself 20 of your chosen punch shape. Then fold them in 1/2 then draw a fine line of glue across the inside middle of each individual one, do this to all 20. then draw a fine line of glue at each end, so you can stack them together, and they stick together top and bottom.  Once you have the stack of 20, and the glue is dry, check it out, slowly pull the 2 end pieces round to meet each other, you can add some ribbon, before you attach the 2 sides together (again by a line at the top and the bottom)  Check out the video I made if that doesn't make sense😊 I hope this inspires you

 Hi there Creators Well this isn't exactly my "Something Saturday" as it will be aired a little sooner thanks to Craft Alive Bendigo.  So if you're joining me for the first time from Craft Alive or GICS, Welcome!, and welcome back anyone who's been here before, I'm so thrilled you choose to see my blog posts and videos 😊 In my video this week I have gone through the Eden's Garden Collection of products and the Suite Sensation I currently have on offer (if you want to see the info about that, click here: Eden's Garden Suite Sensation Blog Post . Today's post is about the card I make in the video using the cotton paper, I'll admit that I wasn't 100% sure how to use it to begin with, so I googled and pinterest'd it and found a video by Wow Nola Creations, using the paper as a special textured background so I had a go, and changed it slightly, and voila:  Funnily enough the shabby chic thing doesn't usually do much for me, but I think
