Something Saturday - Create Along

 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)! ...

Hand-made Birthday present

-

 Hi Creators, 

 I had to wait to share this with you till after I'd given it to my friend Jenny.  While Sam (my youngest son - 9 years old) and I were doing schooling over the last months, I bought some coloured clay which we made a few little bowls with, they're really cool!  I wanted to make a sort of swirly look with the clay which I think we achieved. 

So when I was thinking about Jenny and her birthday I know how much she loves purple, and I thought I'd like to make her a purple bowl, I love that when I make something for someone, I get to think about that person while I'm making it and the great times we've spent together!

I was remembering some of the Stampin' Up! events that we've been to together, Jenny was the first person to join my team, and I've been so blessed to have her there with me through so many fabulous events!

Anyway I'm sure by now you're saying - get on with it Heather, let's see the photos!  So based on my ramblings, guess which one I made for Jenny?

Yep the purple one in the left bottom corner!  then I had some clay left over, but not enough to make another bowl, so I made some beads with it, which excitingly was enough to make a necklace with, yay gotta love that!  Then Yay I had an old Stampin' Up! box that fit the whole lot perfectly, decorate up the box, and voila.......



I'm hoping that she liked it as much as I enjoyed making it!  I specifically made one of the cards from the last post for her too, after I realised it was turning purple, so this uses the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper.


I hope this inspires you to create!

God Bless love
Heather xox

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

 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...
