Something Saturday - Cascading Pleated Fold Card

 Hi There Creators, I promised when I was showing off my swap cards from OnStage that I'd work out how to create a couple of cards I received. So, here we go, I have discovered they're called Cascading Pleated Fold Cards! (good start) Here are my 2 cards I made using this technique, I figured I could have a go at both landscape and portrait cards. 😍 The first one is made using the absolutely gorgeous Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper . It took a bit of cutting to get it right as I wanted each scene in front to echo the scene behind, but I think I got it! Then the card I made up in the video ended up like this, I've used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper (which is happily continuing onto the next catalogue!), and the Ice Cream Swirl Bundle (again continuing on)   Although Sam (Mr 13 year old) did ask what flavour ice-cream is that meant to be?  I said Chocolate & Boysenberry (Hummm, Ok Mum....) 🤣 Anyway on to the measurements.... I worked out that

Cards for February

-

Hi there, It's been hard trying to make up my mind what to teach in February!  However I think I've narrowed it down lol!  Just in case you don't know, this time of year with Stampin' Up! is Sale-a-Bration, when you order $90 of goodies, you get to pick a FREE Sale-a-Bration product, this year Stampin' Up! have also produced a couple of $180+ Sale-a-Bration products. So these are the cards that made it..... Card #1 uses possibly my 2 favourite sets (Sale-a-Bration and from the Occasions Catalogue) and my favourite colouring medium!  So allow me to introduce you to the Petal Palette Bundle, and the Happy Wishes Sale-a-Bration set to get this set for FREE you'll need to place a $180+ order.  Love that the roses are cut out with dies!, and I've coloured them in with the fabulous Stampin' Blends. Card #2 mixes a couple of stamp sets, I think I've shown it before on this blog, it uses the Bubble Over stamp set , and the Fruit Basket Stamp set

Stampin' Blends (in the normal way)

Hi Everyone, Well I know I wrote about the new Stampin' Blends the other day, but can't resist sharing some more creations with you! The "normal" way is where you use light plain cardstock (I've used Whisper White , stamp an image with Memento Black ink , and start colouring) As one of my favourite sets is Remarkable You Stamp set , I've gone with the flowers from it, I'll start with my favourite, the Lilies: this one uses the Daffodil Delight combo blends , Calypso coral combo Blends, and the Pumpkin Pie Combo Blends , and of course the Old Olive Combo Blends for the stems! Next up the waterlily type flower (I'm sure someone will know what it is!), this one again uses the Daffodil Delight, but then I've used some Pink Pirouette to create the delicate colour in the bottom of the flower, then some Old Olive for the stems again..... And moving onto the last flower in the stamp set, reminds me of a magnolia flower (although I'm pretty

New Today (1st November 2017)

Well!  Very happy to say that Stampin' Up! have bought out a  new range of colouring tools called Stampin' Blends, hopefully this link works for the Utube video that has been released for it! U tube video about Stampin' Blends  When mine came a couple of weeks ago I'd also ordered myself the Just Add colour Specialty Designer Series Paper , here's what I created:    yes it took a while but so satisfying to just sit and colour in, loved the way the colours will just blend into each other, so you can create the light and dark shades, and because they're alcohol markers you can just keep going and going with out the paper balling up. Even Tom (husband) was impressed (and it takes a fair bit to impress him, after so many years of Stampin' Up! lol) Check them out here: Heather's Stampin' Up! shop Let me know what you think! I hope this inspires you to create, God bless love Heather xox
