Something Saturday - Show & Tell July 24 Online products

 Hi there Creators Today I have a new parcel of goodies to share with you, these products are now available online, I've added the links to each so you can check them out.   First up I showed the stunning Sunflower 3D Embossing folder (it's a large one being A5 sized) I think I'll be showing off a couple of ways to use it next week (stay tuned!) Then I moved onto the " Not 29 anymore" stamp set, which I absolutely love, it's definitely a keeper well after it retires! Next up is Label Me Grateful Bundle ( Stamps & Dies) I do like that the dies can be used on their own if you're not keen on the stamp set (personally I liked both) Next up is a Suite, the Floral Charm Suite Collection Oh so pretty!  I've given you the link to the whole collection but when you check it out, there is a drop down box to pick out individual items if you don't want the whole kit & caboodle! And last but not least although it's not totally new, it is to me😃 Th...

Eden's Garden Cotton Paper

 Hi there Creators

Well this isn't exactly my "Something Saturday" as it will be aired a little sooner thanks to Craft Alive Bendigo.  So if you're joining me for the first time from Craft Alive or GICS, Welcome!, and welcome back anyone who's been here before, I'm so thrilled you choose to see my blog posts and videos 😊

In my video this week I have gone through the Eden's Garden Collection of products and the Suite Sensation I currently have on offer (if you want to see the info about that, click here: Eden's Garden Suite Sensation Blog Post.

Today's post is about the card I make in the video using the cotton paper, I'll admit that I wasn't 100% sure how to use it to begin with, so I googled and pinterest'd it and found a video by Wow Nola Creations, using the paper as a special textured background so I had a go, and changed it slightly, and voila:

Eden's Garden, Stampin' Up!, Being CreateAble with Heather


 Funnily enough the shabby chic thing doesn't usually do much for me, but I think that's how this turned out, and I'm quite happy with it

Eden's Garden, Stampin' Up!, Being CreateAble with Heather
So, how did I make it?  

First off I cut a piece the light cotton paper (it comes in 2 colours Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen) I measured it out to be 6" by around 10.5cm. then I cut a piece of coordinating cardstock approx 1cm shorter on each side (I had Mint Macaron.)

I stamped on the cotton paper (on the non-shiny side) to give it an interesting background (I used the co-ordinating Eden's Garden Stamps) then scrunched it up, flattened it out a bit and stuck the mint mac card to the shiny side. The cotton paper was deliberately larger than the cardstock so that the edges could be slightly ragged looking., I've then added a line of the darker cotton paper (shiny side up)

Now to make the flowers, I've taken a peice of the light cotton paper 6" x 1" and cut diagonally, so you end up with 2 long triangles. I then coloured them by daubing on Poppy Parade. I then added a line of tear &  tape adhesive to the bottom of each and rolled them up to form the 2 flowers.

And that's it pretty much!

I hope this inspires you to have a go yourself!

God Bless love Heather
