Hi there Creators Well after having played with a bit of the True Love Designer Series Paper, (DSP) I just couldn't resist continuing on with it, so here is my next lot of cards that I've made up with it.  I got a bit inspired when I saw what others had done with it and adding hearts into the equation!  Having recently treated myself to the Heart Punch Pack , which consists of 2 heart punches, that fit together nicely. Anyway onto the cards...... The first card I made I just punched the straight heart out from a piece of card, lined it up on the DSP and drew round the cut out heart, then I coloured in where it needed it, attached it together, and if you're a regular reader of my blog, you might remember that I stamped up the Many Messages stamp and cut out all the messages with the matching die, so I had 18 sayings to pick from (have to admit I'm loving this way of adding my sayings!)  check out the Many Messages Bundle !   This next card, I have punched out t...

  Hi there Creators,  Today I'm joining a Crafty Collaborations hop, this is a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all round the world, cool eh?   This particular blog hop is What's New? and open to our own interpretation. Sitting out in my craft room I spied the True Love Designer Series Paper that arrived a few days ago, and decided on a spot of colouring in therapy, and the cards started from there..... This Designer Series Paper is black and white, and has some great images to cut out (if you don't mind a bit of fussy cutting) The first card I made with the paper was this one, I've cut the flowers out from one of the sheets of Designer Series Paper, and used Stampin' Blends to colour them in. With this first card I've also used one of the Gold Hoop embellishments which I haven't used before too, I have to say the metal ring is really quite sturdy you can see the Gold Hoop a little more clearly with this photo, I've used a bit of the Gorgeou...

 Hi there Creators, The other day I joined in a blog hop with others showing watercolour techniques  I was relieved to hear most of them saying watercolouring was a challenge for them too!  Anyway this morning I thought I'd take it to my Facebook live and give you a video for prosperity 😀 Here is the card I ended up making from the components I made in the video....  I've used In Bloom stamps , Pierced Blooms dies , they also happen to come as a bundle (yay for 10% off)  the bundle is called: In Bloom bundle , I've also used watercolour paper for the flowers and leaves, shimmery white card for the background  And if you want to learn how to do it , check out my video here:   Let me know how you go with these 2 techniques. I hope this inspires you to create! God Bless love Heather xox

 Hi there Creators, Well this is embarrassing! Obviously it wasn't "berry good" the first time lol.   Someone (thanks so much Reyne) has kindly pointed out to me that my Strawberries were upside down😂  oopsy  still they'd make great pears in green (as was suggested by Deborah).  However after all the hilarity I thought I'd better re-do them, so....same post as before, different photo!   (I'll try pears next time....) I'm using the gorgeous new Sweet Strawberry Bundle and matching Sale-A-Bration Berry Blessings stamp set + Berry Delightful Papers.   When I originally saw theses goodies I knew I needed to do something with them, you can only get the Berry Blessings Stamp Set + Berry Delightful Designer Series papers when you spend $180 on other goodies (then you can choose them for FREE!) by the way Sale-a-Bration is referred to as SAB for the rest of this post :) I have 3 ways for you to get your hands on this gorgeous set of cards:  t...

HI there Creators Well this week I'm joining in the Watercolour Technique Blog run by Crafty Collaborations which is a collection of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all over the world😊 this one was truly a challenge as I'm not really that great at watercolour! So I had an idea that I wanted to watercolour a few flowers from my new Pierced Blooms dies and make a kind of bouquet out of it, my initial attempts at properly watercolouring them failed dismally lol however after dropping one into the remains of colour that was on my silicone sheet I had an idea...... Here is the card I made, and I have some close ups and explanations to follow.   So my technique....  I used water color paper and cut out the die pieces, then painted each piece with water, inked up a blank stampin' block then dabbed the block onto the pieces till I liked the colour of them, with the flowers I repeated this method with a couple of colours.  I've used the Subtles colours. I really love the ...

    Hi there Creators, thought I'd join in this Sale-a-Bration Blog hop today, and I'm excited to see what others have created using the upcoming Sale-a-bration SAB products.  For those un-initiated  SAB is a special time of year where we have 2 months of FREE Products *YAY*: When you purchase $90 of products you get to pick a free product from the SAB offering, this year is the first year we're going to have 2 SAB's in a year there's another one coming in July too (it'll be different products) *DOUBLE YAY* lol Anyway there were a couple of products that I have to admit I wasn't so keen on, but at the time I was ordering it was a case of pick the stamp set I didn't have as others weren't available, then lots of people seemed to be raving about the Designer Series Paper that I ended up using (again I wasn't so keen on it)  However I have a thing about not being beaten by a stamp set, so I was determined to make something of it (especially as I can...
