Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd share this Origami Star box I discovered this origami star box when one of my friends from church mentioned she'd found it in a kids book, and thought it would be fun to do with the kids for Christmas.  Of course, me being me I had to have a go at it straight away, bit of trial and error and I had it (or so I thought until the video....)  But my mistakes are your gain, as I think it probably clarifies how to create it properly (sometimes it's better to see someone else's mis"steaks"🤣 and you realise what not to do) Anyway these are the boxes: As I mentioned in the video, there's no way I can do "written" instructions for this, so please watch the video if you haven't! And here are the boxes I created: If you missed the video here it is: I hope this inspires you to have a go (let's look on the bright side, it you probably won't make the same mistake as me🤣) God Bless love Heather xox

 Hi There Creators,  today I thought I'd show off this Textured Floral Stamp set (it's sooo pretty), and then in the catalogue there is a page that has a few template designs on it (or card sketches), so figured I could have a go at those designs to give you an idea of how to use them😃  This is the first 6 designs in the book: However, first off I created a piece of customer Designer Paper using the stamp set, and colours: Soft Sea Foam for my green, then Petunia Pop, Fresh Freesia, Bubble Bath for my pinks, and Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lolly for my yellows This first "smile" card is the one I created in the video, then I moved onwards to the next 6 designs getting them all out of this one sheet of A4 cardstock (and adding some plain colour card for the backing bits), I've also used some of the Petunia Pop Ribbon cut in 1/2 lengthways so it's wasn't so bulky, and also the Labelled with Love Punch . Then I was left with 2 bits of my patte

Hi There Creators, Today I thought I'd show off this new kit I brought the other day, oooo it has gold foiling in it, ummmm💖😍 Christmas Wishes Kit , it contains a stamp set, mini ink pad and stampin' block as well as the cardstock to create 8 cards, although, having said 8 truly if you are economical and prepared to do a spot of cutting and adding more cardstock, then you can double it, as the base cards are the same pattern on each side (woo hoo!) The official 2 cards it makes are these 2: the one saying Merry, Merry, Christmas was actually meant to have 3 "Merry"s on it but in my typical way I changed it 😃 I did discover that inside the cards is this rather lovely gold square frame with leaf, which I thought would look lovely on the front of a card (plus it takes opening up the card before you start to make sure it's on the correct side and the right way up - and I didn't 🤣)  So this card came into being, using some of bits I cut off the edges to create

 Hi There Creators Well we're getting closer to November so thought I'd better share the cards we'll be creating at classes on Tues 5th 1.30pm in Laanecoorie, Thursday 7th 7pm Laanecoorie and Saturday 9th 10.30am Maryborough😃 In the class you'll create all 4 cards for $24 (and have a fabulous social time!)

Next up is this rather cute tree from the Decorative Tre

 Hi There Creators I saw this really cool card on a Facebook reel, it was done so quickly, that when I came to try it it took me an awful lot of rewinds to get it right 🤣  So I figured I could do it a little slower to show you all how to make it too.  Here are the photos of the cards I created: The first card I used the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper , so pretty! Then the card I made in the video uses Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper with Pebbled Path Cardstock, I think it looks really elegant!  I ended up making it into a sympathy card, as my Step Dad passed away, so I needed a lovely card to send to my Mum (hope she likes it!)  I love the way the bird freeze goes through the panels of the card. And now for the measurements..... the way I made it in my video: (this is the metric version I worked out) You will need a base card (A5) scored in 1/2 at 10.5cm, then trim 5cm off one side (so you only have a 1/2 flap at the front) Next you need the "mechanism" compon
