Our October CraftAlong is coming up this Thursday!

 


Hello friends!

Yep, thats right - we are coming up on the next CraftAlong event and I have a super cute card for you to make with me this month.  As always, everyone is invited to watch the free video that will be happening this Thursday, 31st October at 2pm (Sydney time).  You are welcome to just watch, and craft later, or you can CraftAlong whilst I am live... both options are popular! 

To watch the video you can click here at the specified time:


This month we are making "Criss-Cross cards" and Im excited to share my cards with you!

If you placed an order over $60 with me last month (September) then you will be receiving a supply pack to make the project on the live video. However if you are not receiving a pack... dont worry! You can still create along with me... I have included a list of basic supplies below, and you are of course welcome to substitute any items you dont have. 

I hope you will love our projects this month and I am excited to create with you later this week!

Video Tutorial: The Northern Lights Technique!

 




In this week's Technique Tuesday video we played with a favourite technique of mine... the Northern Lights technique. This is a super fun and easy technique that anyone can do... you just need some ink colours, cardstock and blending tools such as brushes or sponges. (I've added a product list at the bottom of this post).

I made a video to show you the easy way to get started with this technique... so if you were thinking you would like to give it a go, then you might enjoy this video tutorial below:



Here are a couple more of the cards from the video:







I really hope you enjoy these cards, and have a go at this beautiful technique yourself! And if you do try it, let me know how it went! 

Enjoy
