Hello everyone and welcome to a new month... and a brand new year!!!

As many of you would already know I've been doing a Zoom class every other month as a way to introduce you to some beautiful new products and we have our next one coming up at the end of January.  I've decided on the new "Beautiful Butterflies" bundle this time... which means that in order to do the class you'll need to own this bundle.  The bundle will be available for sale on the 7th January so if you are thinking of this one... grab it and have it ready to craft together at our Zoom class. 

Zoom Class - Beautiful Butterflies Bundle

2pm 31st January ON ZOOM (Sydney Time)

There are 3 ways to be part of the class:

1. Purchase the Beautiful Butterflies bundle with me and your class is free! 

2. Be part of my INKsomniacs team and register by letting me know that you wish to do the class. 

3. Purchase the Zoom class for $15aud via PayPal button below:

Once you have registered I will email you a PDF document with all the measurements to that you can cut the materials before the class if you wish.  The PDF document will also have the link to click for the Zoom session. 

Note that numbers are limited and I will close off registrations if we get close. 

You are welcome to substitute other supplies for the ones listed if you choose.  

Please understand that you will require the Beautiful Butterflies bundle to make these particular cards.  I have included a picture of the bundle below (but note it is not available to customers until the 7th January)

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

In our live CraftAlong video yesterday we made this fun Acetate Birthday card.  I hope you enjoyed it... but just in case you missed it you can watch it by clicking on the video link below:

 

As well as this card that we made live, this month I have some awesome alternate cards for you.  Each one features Window Sheets made in a different way.  

If you ordered with me in November you would have received the supply pack to make our main card, but you also receive all the tutorials for the alternate cards. 

But if that's not you, don't worry!  You can also purchase the tutorials for $15aud (which is under $10usd so thats a bargain!).  I've added a PayPal button to this page so that you can pay for it easily.  (If you have any difficulties, please click HERE to email me and we can work it out).

PURCHASE NOW

Here are the alternate cards:

   

One of my favourite bundles from our current Mini Catalogue is the Reindeer Fun bundle.  Its part of the Reindeer Days suite of products.  I didnt purchase this suite initially because there were other things I wanted first, but once I saw all the amazing creations out there with this bundle I quickly added it to my "wish list".  Its super versatile and lots of fun to play with. Bonus: some of the images in the Designer Series paper also match some of the dies! 

I actually made the above card in a recent Friday Night Live video tutorial.  Friday night is our sketch night and I've been working my way through the sketches on page 16 of the current mini catalogue.  You'll see this sketch right at the bottom of those shown, and it was pretty much perfect for these dies and images. I used some of the present dies (and added some glittery bows), and then had this cute reindeer popping in to say hi through the window. I love him! 

Please note, this Reindeer bundle is on the LAST CHANCE LIST.... so if you love it I encourage you to visit the ONLINE STORE and grab it while you still can.  I've included photo images at the bottom of this post - you can click on the items you want and it will take you to the store if you wish to purchase them.

Hello and welcome to this month's CraftAlong tutorials! This month our theme is Lattice Cards... and Im excited to share them with you!

CraftAlong is my monthly YouTube event where we make a card together in real time.  You are very welcome to "Craftalong" with me (as the name suggests) or you can watch and maybe make up the project later. 

For those people that have placed orders of at least $60 worth of products with me in the previous month I send out a supply package containing all the pieces that you need to create the project (you just have to add inks and adhesives).  For everyone else I provide a supply list here on my blog so that you can cut up the pieces yourself as needed. 

I've been doing these CraftAlong events for a couple of years now, and I hope you look forward to them and enjoy watching. If you havent yet watched the November live event you can do so my clicking the YouTube link below:

 

Not only do we make up the card shown in this live video, there are also an additional four cards with tutorials available. These are automatically sent to everyone that received a supply pack, and to my INKsomniac team members. 

However if thats not you, you are very welcome to purchase them for a cost of $15aud.  I have included a Paypal button below should you wish to purchase them.  

If you would like to see all the alternate projects for this month you can see them in the images below:

Please note that these projects feature both current and also some upcoming products from our January 2025 mini catalogue. 

I really hope you enjoy these projects this month... I'd love to know what you think?! Which one is your favourite?

Enjoy!
