 Hi There Creators,  Well, I came across this really cool bauble, and figured I had to learn how to make it, then thought Oh I'd better show you too! In my video I also mention that you can now order a kit to create this Banner,  There's a whole blog post on it here: Aussie Christmas Banner Blog Post) , I do all the cutting out, then you just do the stamping, and gluing, if you want a kit let me know  (it's $40 AUD) - if you want to buy the "ingredients" and make a few up yourself, this is the link to what you'll need: Aussie Christmas Banner ingredients , I reckon it would make a great Christmas Gift, that can be brought out each year (plus it packs away small!) Just imagine it, you could wrap it up and put this bauble on the packing 😉 truly hand-made gift! Here's the bauble (and bead) I show how to create in the video, click this link to see what you would need to create the baubles I created: What Heather used The cutting and scoring is as follows: You...

H i there Creators, I joined in from April to August in something called a "Chain Swap".   The best way I can describe it is Chinese Whispers for cards.  We took turns starting the chain off with our card, whoever starts it sends it to the next person on the list who CASE's it (Copy And Selectively Edit), they then send their card onto the next person and so it continues.  I'm fascinated to see how the beginning and end results turn out, each of these blog posts have links on them to the next person in the chain, so let me know what you think, and make sure you check out the whole round! This is my "take" on the card I received in Round D, click on the photo to see the goodies I've used, the Luxe White Paper has such a pretty pattern, it looks so pretty coloured in with the Stampin' Blends,  and the Shimmering Stipes Specialty Paper is just stunning! If you have come from the previous blogs you'll have seen the progression so far! Make sure you ...

Hi there Creators Yes it sounds a bit kooky, but bear with me.  Although they are designed to be used with the Hot Foils Machine, it doesn't mean with a bit of creativity that you can't use them in other ways, so..... read on (and watch the video & click the links 😉 Here is a link to pretty much all the products I've used in the video, although sadly I did discover that a couple of the embossing folders managed to sneak past me and retired (and sold out) 😱  If you want any of the goodies in the link just unclick the ones you don't need and "add to cart"  What Heather Used in these cards Ok so here goes with the photos and how I did it...  First up, the shiny side of the foil when you are using them this way is always towards you, NEVER towards the glue & paper! Card 1: Christmas Joy, the dots in the background are mini glue dots with the hot foil pressed onto them then I have painted with a tiny brush the Joy and edge of frame, using tombow adhesive ...

  Hi there Creators, Just in case you're new to this Chain Swap (and have missed the other hops I've done)  I joined in from April to August in something called a "Chain Swap".   The best way I can describe it is Chinese Whispers for cards.  We took turns starting the chain off with our card, whoever starts it sends it to the next person on the list who CASE's it (Copy And Selectively Edit), they then send their card onto the next person and so it continues.  I'm fascinated to see how the beginning and end results turn out, each of these blog posts have links on them to the next person in the chain, so let me know what you think, and make sure you check out the whole round! I'm not going to spoil the surprise by putting anyone else's cards in (partly because I'd have to search through my classroom - or craft room to find them!)🤦‍♀️ If you have come from the previous blogs you'll have seen the progression so far! Make sure you tap below to see ...
