Something Saturday - Click Clack Concertina Card

-
Image
 Hi there Creators Well I was sitting last night wondering what to do for my Something Saturday, and playing around with a bit of paper, ended up designing this card, I've made similar cards before like the cascade cards, this is probably a bit more basic, but I'm happy with it and it's way simpler to create, but still packs a cool Woah factor🤣  I've used Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper which is on the last chance list. I decided it needed a sentiment so picked out this one from Sweetest Star Stamp set (last chance list again), because it has 6 words (1 for each panel!😃) and these Adhesive backed Snowflake Assortment are also on the last chance list and happen to be reduced to 1/2 price (woo hoo!) Ok, onto measurements.... You'll need a sheet of A4 for the base card, score it at 9.9cm either end, then cut in 1/2 at 10.5cm, fold so each piece is concertina'd into 1/3rd's then each folded piece needs a cut that goes 1/2 way up the card (in the...

  Hi there Creators As I mentioned in the email I've just sent out, I'm planning to offer a Bundle or Suite focus every month or every other month, as a "by mail" class.  I'm not sure I've got the right name for it yet, so votes please....   Please could I have votes for what I call the Bundle focused one , (I've decided on Suite Sensation for the Suite one, although I'm up for suggestions on that one too) Currently I have: Bundle Bumper (not my fav, but it's what I thought of first lol) Bundle Brilliance Bundle Bounty If you have a better suggestion and I use it, I'll be sending you a pack of embellishments for free😊 I have teamed up the Delicate Baubles dies with the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper   to create these cards for those who like their traditional red and green Christmas colours:   This Kit is available to you for $42, which includes: 1/4 pack of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper (you will have left overs) A full p...

Expressions in Colour Paper Pumpkin Kit

-
Image
  Hi there Creators, Oh wow have you seen this kit yet?  Mine has finally arrived so I've done a video on how to put it together, the cards are so pretty!  I think it would make an amazing gift for someone at only $37, you could either send it to them to create the cards, they only need a clear block for the stamp set included in the kit, or you could create the cards then send it on (if they're truly not into creating things)!  I also think it would be fabulous for anyone short on space or going on holiday... anyway let's show you the cards. So here are my finished cards: The kit gives you 3 of each of these cards to create, plus a gorgeous box you can use to gift onwards  I think my favourite is the yellow one, which is your fav? If you would like to check it out and order it click this link:  Expressions in Colour Paper Pumpkin Kit Check out the other kits available here: Kits Collection   there certainly are some gorgeous kits! I hope this inspires...

Card Class for October

-
Image
 Hi there, All going well we should be having this class on 6th October in my classroom, I've based the class around the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper, and as there's quite a bit of stamping involved it is an in-person class, however there will be a new postal class coming soon (stay tuned....) Anyway here are the cards, and at the bottom I'll add links which show you exactly what I've used for each card: This first one I wanted to show both sides of the designer paper, as it's so pretty! then I've used the Enjoy the moment stamp set to stamp the seed pods (haven't used this set much) The second card I've gone with the Daisy Lane Stamp set and matching Medium Daisy Punch (again a stamp set I haven't used in a while!) 3rd card is such a wintry pattern (and of course being English, wintry patterns remind me of Christmas....)  So these 3 trees and saying come from Perfectly Plaid stamp set and the matching Pine Tree Punch. Last but not least...

Stamped Heat De-bossing (Something Saturday)

-
Image
 Hi There Creators, This week my "Something Saturday" video was on Stamped Heat De-bossing, I'm not sure if it's called this but I can't think what else to call it! This is it, there's no ink used in the saying, just heat embossing powder and a stamp.  I think it creates a really cool look. These are the finished cards the top card is the one I actually make in the video : Now that I'm looking at them on here, I'm thinking it would make a really cool tag to hang on a Christmas Stocking!  They kind of end up looking a bit like dog tags!  Or even on a scrapbook layout it would look really great! Anyway I'm sure if you haven't viewed the video that you're wondering how I've done this. It's actually quite simple if you know how to heat emboss! Take your piece of card, wipe it over with your Versamark ink pad, then cover it with heat embossing powder, and heat emboss it. Then repeat the process so (in my case) the Gold or Copper gets thi...

Magic Slider card using Delicate Dahlias

-
Image
 Hi there Creators,  my "Something Saturday" video this Saturday was on this Magic Slider Card, in the video I mention that I'll pop the instructions/measurements here too. However first up the photo....  As you can see I ended up making it in 3 different colours, I just think it's so pretty using the Delicate Dahilas stamp set!  Remember you only have until the end of this month (September) to get this stamp set as it's one of the Sale-a-Bration sets, to get it for free you need to purchase $180 of goodies then you can pick it for Free!  I promised the dimensions and I've done a Photgraphic "journey" of some of the way I've made it, so I'll pop this below, If you want to see the products I've used click on the links at the bottom and you can easily add the ones you need to your shopping card. First up you'll need a 1/2 sheet of A4 (cut longways), should measure 29.7cm x 21cm score it at 9.9cm in from both sides, so it folds into 3 eq...

Nuts about Squirrels

-
Image
 Hi there Creators There's Something about squirrels.... (Mary doesn't do it for me 😂)  So when this cute little Nuts about Squirrels set came out I knew it would end up in my collection.   Coming from England to Australia it's one those creatures that aren't over here, when I took the boys back to England a few years ago they were fascinated by the squirrels in one of the London parks, although most are now Gray squirrels I still prefer the red ones. Check out the Stamp set with this link: Nuts about Squirrels (you can purchase it from there too, and at only $30 what a bargain!!)  Oh and while I'm thinking of it for every $90 you purchase you get to pick a free Sale-a-Bration product, check them out in this link: Sale-a-Bration Products .  Till the end of September. Ok, so my first card I made is this one here:  this one I just stamped directly onto my card, then stamped 3 spare nuts, and cut these out by hand, and the saying stamped and cut by hand...

  Hi there Creators, Have you ever thought about adding colour to your designer series paper? I was playing around last night and gave it a go..... (you can tell when I'm on holiday my brain starts trying new things lol) So I've used the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper (keep your eyes out for something else coming soon with these papers)  How stunning are the papers! they have iridescent designs on each sheet, WOW! The top piece with the trees on it I've used my Blending brushes to blend some Misty Moonlight into the top of it, then some Mint Macaron into the bottom, then the bottom piece I've used Polished Pink to really make the stripes Pop! Give it a go and let me know how it turns out.  And don't forget to join my mailing list, so you know when I post more. Hope this inspires you to create God Bless love Heather xox Click on this link to check out what I used: What Heather Used
