Something Saturday - Create Along

Image
 Hi there Creators Stampin' Up! had a Demonstrator only event the other day, and showed us how to create "one sheet wonders" from a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP). I got inspired and added a bit more into it, and you guys get to benefit from it 😃  I hope you do craft along with me in the video, but if you need a bit of extra help, I have a Create Along PDF for you (hopefully I can work out how to attach it!, let me know if it hasn't worked!)  List of what you need below photos. Photos below of the 2 sets of cards I ended up creating: Here is what I used for this first set of cards:  Kintsugi Inspirations   I used Stampin' Write Markers that will be retiring as they run out, but you could just as easily use the Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers) just use Memento ink with them rather than Stazon! And these are the ones I created in the video, here is the link for all the goodies I used for these cards: Absolutely Charming  (how pretty is this paper)! ...

August's CreateAble Prize Draw

-
 Hi Everyone, I sent out an email to encourage people to send me photos of their work using Stampin' Up! goodies, and offered a prize draw (some of the gorgeous Glitter Enamel Dots). the brief was to send me photos of anything you've created using Stampin' Up! goodies (and be happy for me to display them on my blog) by 20th August.
I had 2 people who entered, and I love what they created!
First up Sharon, was telling me how she's also a quilter, and uses her stamps in her quilting, she stamps them then sews over top of them, here is the example she sent me:
if you have perused the Hostess stamp sets you'll recognise the pretty flower that's bending over top of the 40!  it's from the Feathery Friends Stamp set, I love this idea of sewing over top of the stamped image!
Coral sent me 2 entries:

funny thing but these 2 also use a hostess set, although this one is retired now (but I still love it!)  She's also used the beautiful tree from Thoughts and Prayers Stamp set.  How cool are the frogs? looks like she's stamped them on a piece of Designer Series Paper then cut them out.

Great jobs to both of you ladies!   As this was a prize draw, I popped the 3 entries into a bowl, and out came Sharon's name!  So Sharon, Congratulations, you'll be receiving a pack of the Glitter enamel dots from me in the mail!

Do send me photos for September's Prize Draw, as I'll be doing it again, make sure those photos are with me by 20th September, and you could win a packet of the gorgeous Faceted Gems.

I hope these ladies works have inspired you to create too
God Bless love
Heather

GDP #261

 Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done)   So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently  I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work?  anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol)  I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours.  The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper !  I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

-
Image
 Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper  Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is:  I hope this inspires you to create one t...
