Hi there Creators As you would know if you keep up with my blog, my pre-order goodies arrived for the new Annual Catalogue the other day, I haven't had much of a chance to play with them.  However as I was cutting up the gorgeous Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper into 3 x 4" rectangles, I figured I might as well make up some cards with them.  This is (currently) my favourite paper from the new upcoming catalogue, add a couple of the new In colours (Misty Moonlight and Just Jade, and one of the 2019-2021 In colours Pretty Peacock) so here we go..... you can see I've paired up a couple of the cards with the new Jar punch and the saying  "Sending you a Paper Hug" from the new stamp set Comfort and Hope.  I love the way you can have the punched out jar full size or any other size (the little ones turn out so cute!) Thought I'd also show you a card I made up with the "Comfort and Hope" stamp set, as it's quite a grungy stamp set. ...

Hi there Creators, For those who've been around my blog for quite a while will know that every so often I do a fundraiser for Collective 61, which was formed by the Enjoy Church Womens' section of the ministry (called Bloom) . This supports 4 charities which work to address the root cause of human trafficking, in specific ways. the 4 Charities are: Chab Dai , Mothers Heart , Children in Families and Daughters . "All forms of trafficking and modern slavery rob people of their choices and identity, leaving them with shame and stigma.  For the individuals being empowered by Collective 61, it is their opportunity to see the stigma, labels and hopelessness they face replaced with true identity, value and hope for the future." So to raise some funds towards Collective 61, I do a "card-making" fundraiser every so often. I have designed 4 cards, and they have gorgeous matching envelopes.  I have 16 kits only, so first come first served! I will donate all t...

Hi there Creators, I was watching someone else's "unboxing" video a couple of days ago, and really enjoyed it, so I thought, umm maybe I should do that too, for you all.  I had to wait overnight before I did this video, which meant I didn't see the goodies till you did (Oh my goodness that was hard waiting lol).  Having said that I thought it was a fun experiment to share it with you.  I hope you do too...... Enjoy God Bless love Heather xox

Hi there Creators, Well I was looking through my stache of Designer Series Papers (DSP), and came across quite a few scraps in my Bird Ballad DSP file (my DSP's live in clear files),  and as I really needed some "therapy crafting time"  I decided to make up a few cards with some of the scraps (Oh my goodness there is still so much more lol)  I got through 8 cards by the time I had to go and do something else! Anyway I thought I'd share......  You might notice it's the same saying in each one, partly because I love this "sending hugs" from Perfectly Framed Stamp set (which is also on the retiring list and has been reduced from $28 down to $11.20, but it's on low inventory, so if you want it get it asap!) and partly because it was all about the paper and I couldn't be bothered to find another saying, I've also used the same punch "Label Me Fancy Punch" for the inside and outside of the label bits, just reduced the size of it f...

Hi there Creators, A couple of months ago I made up a card for a friend who was having a baby, I used one of my retired sets that I'm still quite fond of I think it's called bookcase builder, I aired it on Facebook and a couple of people said "Ooo I'd love to make that...."  however as it uses retired stock, and I'm not allowed in my Stampin' Up! contract to stamp images for others to use, I've re-vamped it with current dies and embossing folders, and they should work with whatever stamps you have on hand, thought you might like to see my original card first: If you're on my email list, I did elude to the fact that I had made up a couple of 3D cards that I wanted to make into a kit for you, for some reason I keep putting it off, so I'm now "biting the bullet" as it were, and here they are.......(drum roll please......) First up the "Lady's Boudoir" then  "Mens Shed" Both cards fold completely...
