Naturally Eclectic class cards

We had another fun filled class this week using the Naturally Eclectic Suite - (pages 132-133 of the annual catalogue). I just ADORE this set - the colours, the images and the images. 

This suite is almost limitless as it has so many images and die cuts to mix and match images and create beautiful scenes. It was very hard to arrow down 3 cards for the class. But these made the cut in the end, thanks to some inspiration from Pinterest. See some of them on my Pinterest board HERE  



One of my gorgeous attendees Belinda creating this picture collage for me - great idea! Thanks for letting me use it too. 
 The first card uses Berry Burst and I love how it pops on the black - inspired by Susie Wood 
This one was a direct CASE from Kim Williams. I love how the Designer Series Paper (DSP) creates an instant background layer that looks like it took ages!   
 This one uses Peekaboo Peach - inspired by Dena Rekow

These gold striped treat bags I blogged about a few days ago - you can read more about how I made them HERE. They were well received!

Gold Striped Treat Bags

At my classes I always make a little chocolate treat for my girls and I love coming up with new ways to present them. A lot of the time it's more about the wrapping than the treat right?

I adore the new gold striped treat bags. They are stunning just on their own and don't take a lot of time or effort to create something wow. I had some cadbury chocolate to wrap so I just folded the bag in half and glued the long edge shut.



For the decoration I used the daisy punch (which is now back in stock - yay!) to punch out two white flowers which I overlapped for a fuller look to the petals and slightly curled them to sit up.

The 'friend' wording is from the Lovely Words Thinlits and the 'for a great' comes from the co-ordinating set Lovely Inside & Out. I punched out the image using the classic label punch.

A bit of bling in the centre of the flowers with a gold faceted gem  and I was done! Quick, simple and yet wow!

I purposely left the bags open so the girls can get easy access to the chocolate if required mid class and yet still take home the cute packaging to give them ideas to create at home. These bags are a great size for holding all types of gifts.

It's true love - Lemon Lime Twist and Foil Frenzy

One of the new 2017-2019 in colours is Lemon Lime Twist which is fast becoming one of my favourite colours. It's bold and bright but can easily be toned down for a more subtle pop of colour when needed.

This time though I went all out lime and I love the results. It's a card I cased from a fellow demonstrator Bj Peters. I used this card as a sample for my open day and it got quite a few comments.



But did you notice something a little different about this card? There is actually no stamping on this card at all! I was wanting to showcase the stunning Foil Frenzy specialty designer series paper. This paper is thicker, more like cardstock with a lovely kraft coloured background. It comes in 3 designs in berry burst, lemon lime twist, soft sky and tangerine tango. The pattern is on one side only.

The heavyweight kraft paper makes this amazing for boxes and 3d items where you might need a sturdier build. These 3 bag/boxes I made are able to hold a reasonable weight making them ideal for small gifts.




The large letters framelits are fantastic for a real wow factor. I have used these a heap. They are a little pricey but it is one of those items I feel is worth the expense as I know I will keep them forever! They are a great way to personalize cards, tags and other projects. 

The little flower is from the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits, it just softens the look a little and rhinestones are always a good idea on a card!



Don't forget about the bonus days special for this month. For every $90 you spend you will earn a $9 voucher to spend in August. Shop online 24/7 HERE
