Something Saturday - Hooray for Honeycomb Kit

 Hi there Creators, Today I thought we'd take a look at one of the new Kits that Stampin' Up! has brought out, it's really fun!, the name "honeycomb" kind of gives it away🤣 There are 9 cards to create, and it's a nice simple kit, would make an excellent gift for anyone who is thinking of starting off with card-making, there's no stamping involved - it's all "stick it together" and everything is included to do this.  At $32 it works out to $3.56 per card (which let's face it is pretty cheap for a card these days!) So here are the cards you can make (3 of each): Don't you just love the matching envelopes? The front of each card has clear embossed shiny bits on it (most obvious on the rainbow card at the top! with my photography) And there you have it, I haven't had the chance to play around and see what else I can create with this kit yet, so if you get it and do play around, let me know what you do! If you missed the video here it

Global Design Project 103 (GDP103)

Hi Everyone,
I've been meaning to join in with the Global Design Project for ages!  So this time I've finally made a card appropriate for it!  The brief this time is a Theme Challenge "It's all about him".  Create something for a male!



http://www.global-design-project.com/2017/09/global-design-project-103-theme.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+GlobalDesignProject+%28Global+Design+Project%29 
With Father's day just having passed, and I forgot to send a card to my Step Dad in England (I did manage to send him a gift voucher, so not completely forgotten!)  I thought this would be ideal to spur me into a card for him! (fairly sure that I'm safe posting it on here, as he doesn't get online - lol)
I've seen a lot of cards that have been using Eclipse Technique, so thought I'd give it a little go (admittedly I don't have the current letter dies, but I do have some that retired a while ago.)
So here it is:

I'm not sure that I've cracked the technique, and to be honest I couldn't see the letters initially, hence they ended up being coloured in!  I've used the "Guy Greetings" Stamp set with it.
I hope he likes it, I think I'll try next time using numbers (I have the Large Numbers Framelits)  I think it might look better with larger letters. Have you ever tried this technique, how did it work for you?
I hope this inspires you to have a go and create!
God Bless love

    Heather,
    This is such a great card, made even better by the addition of your step-dad's name. Thanks for playing along this week at Global Design Project.

Fancy Fold Arrow Card with Video

Hi there Creators Well.... I found this amazing card on Pinterest (as you do) and thought I've got to have a go at that! it's by Mixed Up Craft, and here's the link: Tricorn Style Fold Card in case you want to see it too, I made mine up from an A5 card as I really hate to waste cardstock by cutting it to inches!  So at some point I might do up a quick video just to convert it to A4 format for you! Anyway after doing up my draft I then proceeded onto my "proper card" and all was going well till I realised I'd scored it all wrong lol, however as I really don't like to waste cardstock I persevered on with it, and I really liked what I accidentally made, so I figured I'd share it with you, I'm pretty confident you won't find this anywhere else, and if you have a more inspiring name for it than my fancy fold mistake card, please let me know!  I was wondering about Fancy Fold Arrow card, what do you think? So after all this talking I'm su

 Hi there Creators, I've been waiting ages, but finally this stamp set has arrived and it's every bit as cute as I expected it to be! So of course I had to play with it....... First up I stamped all the images using Black Stazon (they come in strips of 3 to match the dies) and cut them out with the big joined together die.  Then got to work creating cards with them, I ended up with 5 cards in the end, Oh and I've just realised I forgot to take photos of the insides, bother! This first one didn't get anything on the inside, I stamped the tag up, then debated what I could do to lessen the impact of the white card, and came up with the idea of inking the little label then stamping it a few times without reinking, and repeating till the card was covered sufficiently.  I'm quite pleased with the effect I got!   This second card is such a fun kid card, you might recognise it from my previous post on Global Design Project #264.  I've tied the ribbon at the end, then th

Share it Sunday Blog Hop

 Hi there Creators, I have joined a Facebook group called Crafty Collaborations, which is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator only group, demos all round the world, and there are various blog hops to join in with, which I thought sounded fun and might prompt me to remember to do blog posts lol! The "Share it Sunday" is an, anything goes one, which I figured was a great start for me! Today I thought I'd share with you a bit of a sneak peek!  Coming in January is our new Jan to July Mini catalogue and there is this AMAZING suite in it called Fine Art Floral, so beautiful! I've made 3 cards up and kind of ended up a bit "blue" not in feelings though - you'll see.... lol The first card is this one: I love the way it's got the 2 step stamping in the flower I've used one of the gorgeous Blue gems in the middle and bit of Wink of Stella on the flower too. This next card uses the matching dies: Floral Gallery dies, and the stamp set: Art Gallery.  Again th
