We will start off with 2 of the cards for our Weekend Summer Craftastic Event.
These ones were using the By The Bay Suite. These were very popular and it was great seeing people’s versions of them. You don’t have to make the cards exactly as they are.
The shell was diecut with the Shimmery Textured Paper. It adds a little sparkle and the texture adds an extra dimension. The By The Bay Specialty Paper is great with the colour variations. You can make a beachy scene without colouring it.
The blue on this card is using the Shimmery Textured Paper. Did I mention the lovely Shimmer and texture you get. 🙂
It’s hard to see in this but the By The Bay paper has a little shine on it.
The Clam shell was stamped in Night of Navy and then using the markers I gently swiped over with Petal Pink and Balmy Blue to add some colour.
It was such a great event.
I will be back in next post to share the other 2 cards.
We had our Summer Craftastic Event this past weekend. I will share some of the creating fun with you over the next few posts. Of course I did forget to take a photo of the groups on each day. Too busy creating and chatting. But I will share the projects.
Firstly, I want to share the little Chocolate Treat Bags I created for each guest.
The tag was cut with the Designer Tags Dies. I trimmed off the bottom edge and added a strip of the By The Bay Specialty Designer Series Paper. It’s lovely paper with the shiny images on one side and prints on the other side.
Being “seaside” paper the Shell Chocolates suited well for these little treat bags.
And of course the lovely sentiment for each person with a clam and a Flat Adhesive Pearl. The diecut shell added was diecut with the Shimmery Textured Paper.
Be sure to check back to see the projects shortly. Some I have used the By The Bay Suite.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

It’s been another busy year of crafting here. Thanks for following me along.
I thought I would take a few minutes and share my favourite projects from the past year. So come on a little journey with me. And click on the heading of the project to take you back to the original post and read more about them. Even catch the video of many of them.
I loved this gorgeous Friendly Hello Paper available for Sale-A-Bration in January. And this is great fold to show both sides of the gorgeous paper. (Must try that again).
This was a great stamp set to create a Slider card. But you can try this with any of your stamps. What about that Sunshine and Rainbows paper. So bright and Happy. 🙂
Let’s face it – Male cards are hard to make aren’t they?? We had a great Masculine Cards Class earlier in the year. The Let’s Set Sail stamps and punch were fun to use.
The Wild and Sweet Stamp set was one of my top picks from the new catalogue in May. I don’t do a lot of colouring but I loved colouring this cute Koala. I shared some tips colouring this image in the video for this card.
The Hues of Happiness was another of my top picks from the catalogue. I think many people also loved this suite. The Tunnel cards I created with this has been very popular.
The most popular event this year with the Winter Crafternoon. It was such a fun time crafting together followed by a Devonshire Tea. Watch out for more events in the new year.
Another very popular Fun Fold from this year was the Diagonal Fold Card with the Christmas Lights Bundle. Lots of people have shared their versions with me which has been so great.
Is there a theme here with Fun Folds that are my favourite projects for the year. I do love a Fun Fold card. This one was the Half Fold Easel Card with the Hippest Hippos Stamp set for Sale-A-Bration.
It was great to be part of a collaboration to share you some fantastic Christmas projects. I kicked the 12 days series off with my project, A candle with the Merriest Moments stamps and dies. You just have to go back to that post and start the 12 Days of Christmas to check out all the projects.
I hope you have enjoyed looking back at these projects. I can’t wait to share more with you in the coming year.
To lots of creating in 2022. Come and join in with me and follow along.
Christmas is getting closer and I’m sure you are getting frantic. Well I am anyway. Still haven’t finished the Christmas shopping – and as for cards …
Anyway, if you are in a rush but you need a speedy little treat bag for someone then I have one to share with you today. These are just the size for some chocolates or jewellery or even a Gift Card.
I shared the Snowflake Vellum bags I created for my class attendees on my Facebook last week. And everyone loved them. I thought I would put together a video to show you just how easy they are to make so you can whip up some yourself.
These are the SnowflakeVellum Treat Bags if you missed them on Facebook and Instagram.
Now here is the little bag created with the Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper.
The Gift Tag is one we created in class at our Tags and More class last week. I just thought it would work well with this paper. It uses the Merriest Moments Stamp set and the dies. Unfortunately the stamp set is now sold out.
These bags were inspired by ones I saw on my lovely friends Sam’s blog on Pootles. I couldn’t find the original when I went back to them. I did change these a little. But if you haven’t checked out Pootles yet you really should. Sam has some quick, easy gift bags and treat holders to create. You can find Pootles -> HERE.
You can catch the video here or now on Youtube.

Our Christmas is (usually) hot and sunny. We will see what this year turns out to be considering the weather lately …
Today’s card is one for our Aussie Christmas. Or for those in a warm, sunny climate at this time of year.
We are forgetting the snowmen and snowflakes and going for all things beachy.
The Stamps used were Christmas Lights,Waves of Inspiration and Friends are Like Seashells. The sentiment is from Inspired Thoughts. The paper is the Celebrate Everything Paper Pack.
This card was inspired by one I saw searching online but now I can’t remember who sorry.
What do you think?
Hope your week goes awesome. And you get those Christmas preparations done. I need to hit the shops tomorrow to finish (or get close…)
Jenny
