Want FREE Foil sheets!

Foil sheets are the perfect product for when you want to add shimmer and pizzazz to a project.

They can be die cut like the "Sending Love" card.

Then look at the punched out sweet little accents like the flowers on the Valentine's Day card

 

 Look at the simplicity of the trim as an accent pieces on the "Hi There" box. Looks like I need some more Mini Pizza boxes!!

So what do you think of the creative ways we can use our Foil Sheets? These Foil sheets are available for a limited time only, so make sure you place your orders before they are gone.

A little bit of this and that.

Time for another class. This one is a little bit of this and a little bit of that. What does that mean you ask? Well because Christmas is just around the corner there is going to be a Christmas Card. Yes it is getting closer and closer. The other two cards are using our beautiful Designer Series Paper. I have a tendency to hoard this beautiful paper and I am trying to use it more.

The cards we made - love em!

Another week gone by in a snap, I don't know about you but this year seems to be flying by. It won't be long before everyone is planning Christmas in July.

This weeks cards we used left overs from a couple of classes back, I love it when you can make more than one card out of an embellishment.

This one the "friend" has been cut out of the frame. Such a simple card don't you think? The images are from the retired Lovely Inside and Out stamp set

This Wild Wasabi card is using the left over snippet of last weeks embellishment. The background is also using the retired Lovely Inside and Out stamp set.

Everyone loved this card, it was so soft and delicate. It was suggested that it would make a lovely baby card.

The Soft Sky piece above  was the left over from our Daisy card a few classes back.

Wednesday morning class

Only 2 days left till Winter and also 2 days left before the new catalogue comes out. I'm very excited, I will be putting my thinking cap on to come up with some projects with the new products.

However till then we will be having fun on Wednesday morning and Friday evening making 3 lovely cards.

Wednesday's simple class

As requested we did a simple card class. We concentrated on one design 3 ways. The first was just stamping and a pop of ribbon. Then we blinged it up for the next card and for the final card we pulled out all stops and went for DSP, layers and embellishments done using the matching framelits.

This was the first, the flowers and leaves were stamped using the Cake Soiree stamp set from the Cake Soiree bundle, a thin strip of DSP in Lemon Lime Twist was adhered to a strip of Whisper White. The sentiment was stamped in Lemon Lime Twist and the Bakers Twine finished it off.

The second one we added a bit of bling to the basic design and embossed the Whisper White strip. We changed the ribbon to sit below the bannered sentiment, using the lovely striped Lemon Lime Twist mini ribbon. Pretty cute, don't you think?

Finally for our last card, we adhered the DSP Lemon Lime Twist to the front of the card and then instead of stamping the flowers and leaves we cut them out using the Sweet Cake Framelits that coordinates with the Cake Soiree stamp set. The sentiment we used both the Lemon Lime Twist ink and Basic Black for the Happy Birthday

I think everyone had a ball making these cards, even though the design was the same. If you love this bundle and are thinking of purchasing it. Be quick and you will qualify for a FREE Sale-A-Bration item. There is only 2 more days to get these free products. Shop Online with me and I will also add a thank you gift from me for using my hostess code.

A total eclipse of the cards

Did you enjoy the Stampin' Up! video on the Eclipse technique? Here is my take on this technique.

The Eclipse class was so much fun, we made 3 very different cards.

This card was created using our Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. We stamped the image first, coloured it with an Aqua Painter and then cut out the ovals. The small oval was then adhered down and the other raised up. What do you recon?

This card we used the Sale-e-bration Celebrate You Thinlit Dies, these are the FREE items you can get during the Sale-e-Bration promotion. The "YOU" was cut out once in the Designer Series Paper, and then again twice more in Pool Party. These pieces are used instead of dimentionals. Sponging around the shape gives it that extra pop!

Finally we stamped using the Painted Harvest Photopolymer Stamp Set and then cut out the "THANKS" using the Large Letters Framelits Dies. It was then raised up with long strips of dimensionals.

Wednesday morning class

The class this Wednesday morning will be trying different versions of the Eclipse technique. It seems to be a very popular technique at the moment and I have been playing with a few options.

Vellum 3 ways

Have you ever tried Vellum? I love what we can do with the thicker vellum. It allows you to emboss, both heat emboss and dry emboss. We did both in our Wednesday morning and Friday evening classes.

This gorgeous card was created by running the vellum through the embossing folder, turning it over and sponging on the back. We started out with the softer pink all over then, sponged a centre in a darker shade, lastly we rubbed a dark Fresh Fig right in the centre.

The shape was then cut out following the embossed edge. It was then adheared to the front of a Whisper White card with our multipurpose Tombo glue.
Here is my tip on gluing on vellum: Run the Tombo all around the edge of the vellum and then sponge or rub with your finger to spread the glue. This works a treat and you can't see any glue.

This card, we embossed with copper. The secret of heat embossing on vellum, is to always warm up the heat tool first and then start heating the back of the vellum before directly heating the front.

Finally we dry embossed the vellum and this time we used the vellum as the entire card. Of course because you can see through the vellum, all panels need to have the oval adhered to hide the glue.

So what do you think? Why not try making your own, I'm sure you and the recipient of the card will love it.

Wednesday morning and Friday evening class

This class we will be looking at what we can do with vellum. 3 types of embossing and you will have 3 very different looking cards. This class is on twice this week, to cover numbers.
