A selection of cards

We have had some lovely classes lately, although we missed some of our dear friends that haven't been able to make it for a while. Hopefully they will be back with us soon. These are some of the cards we have been making over the last few weeks.

Beautiful You - Wednesday class

Gosh can you believe it is May already. Another few weeks and it will be Christmas in July classes. Well until then let's make the most of our time doing what we love with stamps, ink and paper.

This Wednesday we will be making cards using one of my favourite stamps set, Beautiful You.  I have made up these cards for a colour challenge with Colour INKspiration and decided I liked them so much that I would have them as this weeks class.

This is what we shall be making.

We will be water colouring this card.

We will be fussy cutting this card.

(For those that wanted to know how I did the skirt. I stamped the image on our White envelope paper that is now retired and then used the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to stamp each colour layer, just moving it slightly each time. Then I just cut the circle in half, folded in half, then in half again,then in half yet again. Unfolded and stuck down sides but left a few pieces loose with just a glue dot holding it down, I tucked the waist under to form a curve)

We will be using our Stitched Shapes Framelits dies on this card and leaving it blank for those that may want a male version.

So do these cards excite you? If you would like to attend this class and make these 3 gorgeous cards, please let me know as soon as possible as places are filling fast.

When:Wednesday 3rd May 10am
Cost: $10
Where: Zena's Craft Studio in Wellington Point (email me for the address)

Please RSVP, so that I can prepare all the kits. Please bring your ‘basic kit’ to each class. This includes a paper trimmer, tape runner, double sided foam tape, multipurpose liquid adhesive and scissors.

 * If you are a beginner and do not have a kit, there will be kits available for sale.

Chalkboards: Not Just for Teachers

The popular chalkboard technique is super simple and will wow your friends when you give them a card done with this technique.

Take a look at the video as Andrea, one of our Stampin' Up! trainers shows us how to do this classic technique, and make your next card for someone extra special.

If you would like to attend a class on this technique, then stay tuned as I will be planning to use it in one of your upcoming classes!

Just CASED the catalogue

CASED - Copy and Share Everything. I love that we all do that and I have just had the most wonderful few days at a Stampin' Up! event called OnStage Live. We CASED many cards and had so many ideas planted in our heads. It has been an absolutely mad world wind of events as I still needed to hold my classes and visit Bluecare. So to ease the burden, what better way than to CASE the catalogue.

Go see if you can find them in the catalogue and let me know what page you found them on.

These were such easy cards to create and the best part was that this last card ended up being changed at one of the classes. My friend needed a 40th birthday card and this last stamp set just so happens to have the large numbers. So after a little bit of umming and aahing we came up with this one.

The Number of Years stamp set is such a versatile stamp set. What do you think of this whipped up version.

Shaving Foam technique class

What a silly day we had today. Shaving foam everywhere, even on our eyebrows, cards upside down, giggles every 5 minutes. Yep that was my Shaving Foam technique class today. If you would like to join me I will be having it again on Wednesday morning and evening. I can't promise that you will stay clean or that everything will go to plan, BUT, you will have fun!!

You will make 3 gorgeous, unique cards using the Shaving Foam technique and of course I have put my little twist on it.

The cost of this class is $10.
I will need to know numbers, so that I can cut up the kits.

Wednesday 20th April 10am
Wednesday 20th April 7pm 

Please bring your ‘basic kit’ to each class. This includes a paper trimmer, tape runner, double sided foam tape, multipurpose liquid adhesive and scissors. If you do not have a kit, there will be kits available for sale.

All-Season Season of Cheer

At first glance, our Season of Cheer Designer Series Paper, from the 2015 holiday catalogue, may seem decisively Christmas. But if you take another look, there’s so much more you can do!

Check out these three non-Christmas cards, all using the Season of Cheer Designer Series Paper. I especially love the Birthday Card, it is so bright and cheerful and would suit either male or female.
