Hi Everyone, As promised at the end of the last post, here are the "interactive Cards" I'll be teaching in December, were are doing Double Cascade Cards.  We'll be making 2 of them.  The class cost is $20, and there are 2 classes that day, 10.30am and 7.30pm - do make sure you have booked your place, as there is a limit of 6 in my classroom.  Otherwise you can order a kit from me instructions and pre-cut papers, and I will mail it out to you (let me know) the only thing I can't do with the kits is pre-stamp them (which is only the words) in both these cards. Kits cost $15 with $2 postage. Moving on the first card is this one: this uses the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set , the detailed dragonfly thinlit dies , the Pansy Punch , 1/2" circle punch and the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper .  And the 2nd card is this one: this one uses the gorgeous Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper , Gold, Silver and Champagne foil sheets, Seasonal Layers thinli

Hi Everyone I feel like I say this every month, but Wow hasn't November gone fast! lol Classes next month are on Maryborough - Saturday 2nd at 10am (bring Christmassy party food!)  Kangaroo Flat Wednesday 13th 10.30am (again the Christmassy party food), and Laanecoorie Wednesday 13th 7pm (see the note at the end). These are the cards we'll be creating: first up I love this Eclipse Technique, very simple when you know how!  I've used the Large Letters Framelit dies   and the Musical Season Stamp set Card #2 This one uses the Christmas Quilt Photopolymer Bundle (stamps and dies), and also the matching Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper . On to Card #3: this one uses on of my favourite stamp sets Every Good Wish Stamp set , inks it up with 3 different colours, and frames it :) And last but not least Card #4: this one uses the Tags and Trimmings stamp set, Be Merry Designer Series Paper , and the fabulous Everyday label Punch, which has rapidly

Hi Everyone, My 2nd Coffee&Cards class in Dunolly is on again this coming Monday .  I was inspired by one of my swaps from OnStage, having had in my mind that I wanted to use the Coffee Cafe suite of products but wanting to somehow tie it in with Christmas, I got given a card that had 2 coffee cups with Christmas sayings on them.  Highly observant me, hadn't realised that there is a set in the Holiday Catalogue that actually coordinates with the Coffee Cafe framelit dies ! it's called Merry Cafe (on page 46), Ha who would have known? lol However as I don't have that set, I've gone with one that is on the Extravaganza list - on 20 Nov you'll be able to buy this stamp set "Every Good Wish" for 20% less!! on that day only (let me know if you want to see the list!) Oh and the Coffee Cup framelits are on the list with 20% off too! Anyway on to the cards: This makes me think of Christmas in Australia, due to the heat, and to me it's a cold dri

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to share something with you all that I found out today.  Because of all you, my lovely customers and my amazing Team (The CreateAbles), when Stampin' Up! released the Top 50 Performing Achievers in Australia, I am in it!! ranked at #41. I am absolutely blown away with this news, and I know that I couldn't have done it without all you guys, so I want you all to know how much I appreciate every one of you 😊 Some of you will know that I went down the Stampin' Up! event in Melbourne over the last weekend (it's called OnStage, and available to Demonstrators only).  I was privileged enough to be included in the Leadership session on the Friday evening, where we had some useful training and a lovely meal, thought I'd show you some photos of my time away:)  So here I am at the evening session called Centre Stage (obviously very excited) lol  On our tables we had this amazing decoration (sadly we weren't allowed to "borrow"

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

Hi Everyone, yep I succumbed to the Christmas Quilt bundle, and Oh My Goodness I wish I'd got it sooner LOL It arrived on Friday evening, although my "wonderful" husband decided not to tell me there was a box for me (grrr) until late in the evening (even though I'd asked!) by which time it was too late for me to do anything and I had a full on weekend, culminating in a migrane. However enough of my griping, and onto the exciting stuff..... This is what I made up for my "Tag" card for this month, so if you order from me, you'll receive it to make up with your bag tag, just a quick heads up on how to make it, the Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper is cut for you to 3x6" just fold over the ends and stick them down (around 1/2cm) then attach your tag onto it and the cotton reel and needle. I found that Tombow (Multipurpose Adhesive) worked best to attach the tag on with. So after this I had another go, and created this: I've used

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
