Video Tutorial - How to make an easy Angled Slimline card

 


Hello Friends!

Today I have a cute and simple little card for you.  This size of card is called a "Slimline card" - and its a specific size that fits into matching Slimline Envelopes. However on this one I created an angled Card front... just for something a bit different!


If you would like to see how I made it here is a short video below to show you how. Enjoy!

Video Tutorial: The Mirror Stamping Technique




 On tonight's live video over on YouTube we created projects with the Mirror Image or Mirror Stamping technique.  I really liked how the cards turned out.... even if I did mess up the punching bit!  

But you know what? I've noticed that my customers and watcher love it when I mess up!  Seriously.... I am not sure why? Maybe because it means I am human. As one of my watchers said tonight "We come here for inspiration, not perfection!" Ha ha!

I hope you enjoy my video and dont forget to subscribe to the Channel for more!

Welcome to our April Online Class featuring the New Horizons Suite of products!


Hello and welcome to a new Online Class this month! 

This month I struggled to make a decision on which suite to feature.... and so to help me I did a Poll in my VIP Facebook group.  The choice was between the Rainbows and Happiness bundle and the New Horizons suite.  And as you can see the result was overwhelmingly the New Horizons suite:



(By the way, if you are in Australia, and you haven't joined my VIP Facebook group head over there and request to join!)

So New Horizons it is!  You can see our class cards at the top of this page - and there is also a 4th "bonus" project that is not shown in the picture.  I havent posted that picture here, but I did show it on my Sunday Night live video last night, if you are interested in seeing it.  Otherwise it will just be a fun surprise when you register for the class! 

Please note: For those grabbing the Supply Packs, I have designed the projects in this class so that if you do not have the stamps and dies, you can still make the cards, and they will still be beautiful.   However, if you have the On the Horizon bundle that will mean that your finished projects will look more like mine. 

This class features 3 cards... two are "standard" (but beautiful!) cards.  The 3rd card is what I like to call a specialty card - in this case it is a Fancy-Fold (AKA Fun fold) card that I know you will enjoy.  Im calling this card a Panoramic Fold-out Flap card. You can see the cards in the above photograph, however, please note that DSP patterns may differ between packs. 

REGISTRATION IS OPEN FROM NOW UNTIL MONDAY 18TH  APRIL

There are 2 options to register:

1. Tutorial Only - $20

No matter where you live in the world you are welcome to purchase the "Tutorial Only" option. I have set up a PayPal button below to allow for easy payment.

If you are in Australia and would like me to mail out the materials to make these projects as well as the video tutorial showing how to put it all together, then all you need to do is place an order of $50 or more with me through my Online Store during the registration period.  When you check out be sure to use the host code for this class which is  9XK2M3WX . This Host Code will identify that you wish to be a part of the class so that I can send the materials out to you.  Click the SHOP NOW button to go shopping. 

Please note that you do NOT need to have the New Horizons products in order to take up this option. You can substitute with whatever sentiment stamps you have on hand.  HOWEVER, if you do wish to purchase any of these items I believe you will love them!

Quick Tip Video: What to do when your Inkpads are too Inky

 


Today I've been having some fun with a brand new set, a brand new punch AND brand new INCOLORS!  Introducing the new Incolor range for 2022-2024!  From left we have Orchid Oasis, Starry Sky, Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party and Sweet Sorbet!  Aren't they simply beautiful together??  

If you are wondering how to get them.... they will be available to customers from the 3rd May 2022.  However if you are a demonstrator who is reading this, then you will be able to get them right now!  And if you have been THINKING about becoming a demonstrator, you can order them in your starter kit!  (And get other brand new products in there too... contact me for more information!)  Definitely one of the perks of being a demonstrator is getting your products ahead of everyone else!  Not to mention a discount on every order! 

One of the issues with brand new Inkpads is that they can sometimes be very inky when they arrive.  This is often a result of being unsettled in the delivery vehicles when freshly inked.  So by the time they get to you, all that ink is sitting on the surface of the pad, which does not result in the very best stamping image.  So how do we fix it?  Watch my video below to find out!


Enjoy!
