Kindness is always in Style - Dressed to Impress

Kindness really is always in Style and when you use the Best Dressed suite you can guarantee your cards will be too.

This is the last card from my Online class and today it's all about the gorgeous handbags, which I fussy cut from the Best Dressed designer series paper.

 And it has been awhile since I last used my favourite embossing folder, Scripty, so I felt that it was time I used it again. I was so thrilled to see that this folder will be with us for at least another year, as it's in the upcoming 2020/21 Annual catalogue. Along with some other gorgeous new folders.

I decided to pair Blackberry Bliss with a pop of Purple Posy and I really do love those two colours together. And just how cute are those little purses and handbags!!

If you would like to order any of the products I've used today, then feel free to pop along to my Online Store. And if you need any help, please don't hesitate to contact me. I love to hear from you all!

Happy Crafting,
Chlo

Buy the Shoes - Dressed to Impress

Another gorgeous card for you all today, using the Best Dressed suite. This time I've used the "other" side of the Best Dressed designer series paper and I'm showing off the gorgeous floral design paper.

I just love all the shoes that are in the Best Dressed paper and I couldn't help but fussy cut out a pair of the beautiful high heals to add to this card front.

The sentiments from the Dressed to Impress stamp set are fantastic and these would make awesome cards for teenage, girlie girls. Or in my cause, I think my Mum would love this card, so I've popped it in the post to her today!

This was another card that my girls who attended my online classes got to make and they all absolutely loved this one too. It's such a great all rounder.

Cuppa and Cards: Hello - Bloom and Grow

I'm so excited to be able to share my first Cuppa and Card, card with you all. This month, every card will show case the gorgeous Bloom and Grow stamp set.

My first card was totally inspired by a card that I saw my beautiful Friend Louise Sharp create almost a year ago. You can see Lou's beautiful card HERE.

 I wanted the gorgeous flower stamp to be the hero of this card and kept the colouring pretty basic.

I'm still, after 3 years, in love with my Stampin' Blends. I literally use them every day and they were the best investment ever. If you haven't taken the leap into alcohol markers just yet, then these are the pens for you. They are so easy to use and the fact they coordinate with our cardstock is such a bonus.

If you would like to join my Cuppa's and Cards class, hop on over to page which you can find HERE. All the details on how to join us, can be found there.

Happy Crafting,
Chlo

Online Classes - May 2020

I'm one of those people who is always the optimist and can't help but find a silver lining in most situations and during this awful time of self isolation and social distancing, I can't believe how important our craft time has become. But it has been some weeks since I saw my girls in class and I really do miss them. Well today I have sat down to see just how we can over come this and I have a cunning planning... I am going to launch some ONLINE card classes. This means, I can open up my virtual space to all of you in Australia!

The idea is that we will connect through either Zoom or FB Lives. We will still craft and chat and catch up. We can then send those gorgeous cards out to our friends and families to let them know we are thinking of them all. What could be more joyful then receiving a handmade card in the mail, just because.

I have two different online classes available and you can choose to join into one, or the other or both. It's completely up to you. See below for all the details.

Classic Classes

Date: 12th May and 26th May.

Payments Due: 30th April.

Time: 1.00pm - We will be using Zoom to craft and connect. The same class will be rerun again at 7.30pm as FB Live. The video will be saved in case you miss the live itself.

Cost: $20

Info: In my Classic Class, we will create 3x cards. Card Kits will be posted out to you beforehand. You will need to use your own inks, stamps and adhesive and because of this, I have reduced the cost of the class.

Class One - ONLY $20.00 AUD Class Two - ONLY $20.00 AUD BOTH Classes $40.00 AUD

Cuppa and Cards Class


When:  Each Thursday
 *1.00pm - We will be using Zoom to craft and connect.
 *7.30pm - FB Live. The video will be saved in case you miss the live itself.

Cost:  Class is free, but you will need to pre-purchase the following items through myself, by 28th April:

Bloom & Grow stamp set: $45.00 - 149229

2019/21 Incolour Cardstock pack: $15.75 - 149702

Woven Thread Sequins: $8.75 - 149498

Info:  This is something a little different that I thought I would trial. At the beginning of each month, those who have purchased the products, will receive a package of 5x card kits. We will get together each week to create one card over a cuppa. 

I really hope to "see" you guys all again sometime soon!

Tropical Chic - Cards to Go Tutorial Bundle

I really can't believe it's been 3 months since I released my last Cards to Go tutorial. I guess life has gotten in the way a little lately, which I'm sure you can all totally relate too! But today I can share my Tropical Chic tutorial bundle and this one is a good one:

So usually I only share one card out of the three in the bundle, but to be honest I couldn't choose which one to share. I absolutely love all three and so I thought, why not share them all.

The tutorial gives you all the cutting measurements, list of supplies needed, step by step instructions and lots of top tips. I also hope to teach you a few new techniques along the way too.

I also want to give a shout out to my beautiful friend and talented demo Denita Wright-Smee for her inspiration for the last card. She made this awesome striped paper card a few weeks ago and it inspired this last one. You can see her gorgeous card right HERE.

So to purchase tutorials for all three cards, just head on over to my Tutorial Page and follow the link. Or click on the buy now button found below:

Stamping Sisters April Tutorial - Thanks and Blessings

So the world is certainly a strange place at the moment. I was officially made redundant for the foreseeable future and currently home schooling my Highschooler and two primary School kids. To say that's hard work would be an understatement.

But all this extra time at home has also been fun. The kids and I are finding different ways to be crafty. We've baked together, made play dough and my daughter has even taken up sewing.

I think being creative is so important, especially in times where our mental health can suffer. So this months stamping sisters tutorial couldn't come at a better time. Oh and did I mention our theme is Thanks and Blessings.

How lovely would it be to create a card and send it to a friend in isolation, or maybe a grandparent who is in a care home. Now really is the most perfect time to send out happy mail to everyone you know and bring a little sunshine to their days.
