Something Saturday - Brightest Birthday Kit

-
Image
  Hi there Creators Today we're checking out one of the new kits, I have to say WOW!, maybe it's the holographic blingy bits (ooooo bling....🤣)  if you're a regular reader of my blog or watch my YouTube or Facebook channels then you'll know I can't resist bling.  Anyway check out the kit here: Brightest Birthday Kit And here are the cards it makes.... oh and their matching (also blingy) envelopes. Then you'll notice on the first card with the balloons it has a box that has the holographic outline, which is actually a sticker, so in the video I show you how to get the sticker off and onto a separate piece of card without having to pick it off and re-piece it yourself. And this is the card I made with it:  I probably should have used the same Azure Afternoon colour, but I had this piece of Shy Shamrock hanging around my desk, so chose to use that instead, and seeing as the star stamp hadn't been used I figured I should put it into action.  Its not a bad littl...

Cards for August Classes

-

Hi there Creators, Well I've made the decision to re-commence classes in August in my classroom, with a max of 3 participants, (unless we get locked down further between now and the dates!) With that in mind, these are the cards we'll be creating: A couple of male'ish cards:  This Camouflage Background Stamp is such a fabulous background!  and the saying is from Happiest of Birthdays , which again is a fabulous stamp set, I like the way the sayings are so big, and clear. I've used one of the Holiday Rhinestone Basic jewels in the i of birthday, such lovely colours in these jewels! Card #2 this is the first time I've got round to using this " Whiskey Business" stamp set , and I really wanted to convey looking in through a window at the aftermath of a party scene, with the balloons ( Balloon Bouquet Punch ) bumping up against the ceiling and 1/2 a drink left. (hoping I achieved it!) Card #3 I've not used this stamp much either, from Ornate Style stamp ...

Perfect Parcel Dies, how to put the box together

-

Hi there, Well today I thought as I'm going to be sending out the components to make up the Perfect Parcel box as a little thank you gift to those who order from me, that I should show you how to put it together!   Have to admit this one had me stumped for a while and I'd hate you to feel the same way 😀 anyway here is the box in all it's glory.... and the underside (just in case you need to see it) I did a short video on it as it's a little hard to see from photos, so check this out: And just in case it's not 100% clear, I've added a couple more photos below.  You can just about see where I've written "glue".  Remember when you turn the box upside down, push the 2 side flaps in first, then the little triangle flaps fold up, then flatten  the whole box down, and you can carefully open it to add glue to the triangle flaps. Hope this all made sense and you have fun creating your boxes!  any questions let me know! God bless love Heather xox

Punch Art Giraffe

-

Hi there Creators I was asked recently to make up a Giraffe Card, so I turned to Punch Art, and wondered if I could possibly do it with our current Stampin' Up! Punches, I almost achieved it 😄 So this is the card I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out!  I'll show you what I used after it: this was the photo I was using to get by 'bearings" on the giraffe face: And here's what I used: The face is made from Lovely Labels Pick a Punch , it's punched on both ends for the face (I found I had to add an extra length of card to the back of it, so I could get it into the punch properly).  I've then punched 2 small hole punches for the nose and another 2 slightly larger ones for the eyes. The nose is the only main punch that's not still current, which is a small fat oval punch. Ears are made from the top part of the large butterfly in the Butterfly duet punch , with 2 petals cut from the Small Bloom Punch for the inner ear pieces The Antlers are the en...
