Lesson 145

Flourishing Phrases and the matching Flourish Thinlits is sure to be very popular. I have made 6 samples for the lesson. Here is a peek.

The second set is called Sitting Here and in most cases it requires quite a bit of fussy cutting but no so for these Heather Cooper inspired notelets and box.

Lesson dates are June 28, 29, July 5 and 6.

Lesson 144

I'm not a flamingo lover but I do love the colour combination of Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Whisper White. This set is called Pop of Paradise and Pop of Pink is the matching DSP. Have a look at page 85 in the catalogue and I'm sure that you'll agree that it is stunning.
Let's make a shaker card!

The second set for this week is One Wild Ride. Do you like the Copper Embossing?

I hardly ever use Cajun Craze but I really like this combination.

Lesson dates are June 14, 15, 21 and 22.

Lesson 143

Yes, I'm back. We had a great time on our cruise and I have even completed a Project Life Album with some of the photos.
We can order from the new catalogue this Wednesday (June 1). I will be placing my weekly order on Wednesday at 5.00pm as usual. Let me know if you need anything.
Part one of this lesson is using Definitely Dahlia. I must admit that it had escaped my notice until I saw a fabulous sample when I went to On Stage last month.
I have used one of the new In Colours for this one.

I followed a great tutorial by Crafty Caroline to make this Gift Box. The Qantas colours inspired the colour scheme.

And now to a new set. Swirly Bird has endless possibilities.

We haven't made a Pizza Box of cards for a while. This set is a one sheet wonder.

Lesson dates are May 31, June 1, 7 and 8.

Lesson 142

I was really keen to work with the Timeless Texture Stamp Set. I even bought it in wood mount!!
The name says it all - it adds texture to your art pieces.

The second set for this lesson is a sneak peek from the new catalogue.  Baby Bear is a triple step set. Isn't it cute!!!

And the large tissue box. This was part of mother's birthday present collection. I'll share more in the next lesson.

Lesson dates: May 3, 4, 10, 11.

Lesson 141

The Party Wishes Stamp Set can be bundled with the Party Punch Pack. This card was a bit of a fiddle but it's just so cute!!!

This card involves a bit of kissing!

And who could resist this black and white Triple Fold Card!

The second set for this lesson is A Nice Cuppa. It has matching Framelits and a DSP Stack - Have a Cuppa.

Here we have a Biscuit Box, a Chocolate Box and a Tea Bag Box. One box is made with a framelit, another with a punch and another with the Gift Bag Punch Board.

I continue to be obsessed with making boxes with the Envelope Punch Board. We made a Tissue Box Cover a few years ago but this one is even better!!!

Lesson dates are April 19, 20, 26, 27.

Lesson 140

We will be using a rather traditional floral set, Birthday Blooms, in this lesson.

We made a large Lever card in Lesson 137. Here is another one in a regular card size.

I have been perfecting my box making skills and I'm ready to share these with you.

The second set for this lesson is Playful Pals and the Pyramid Pals Thinlits Dies. These cute critters were made by Clara.

It's a great bundle for boxes but it's also great for cards.

Lesson dates: March 29, 30 and April 5 and 6.

Lesson 139

Let's make some Easter Treat boxes and bags with Honeycomb Happiness. It's free with a $90 order until the end of this month.

The Grateful Bunch Stamp Set with coordinating Blossom Bunch Punch was initially my first choice when I saw the Occasions Catalogue.

Lesson dates: March 15, 16, 22 and 23.

Lesson 138

I have really enjoyed working with this bundle: Rose Wonder Stamp Set and Rose Garden Thinlits Dies. There are 14 stamps in the set - 4 floral and 10 sentiments.

The SAB Set for this lesson is Botanicals For You. Don't you just love the Going Places Paper Stack!

Lesson dates are March 1, 2, 8 and 9.
