Hi there Creators, For my Something Saturday this week, I'm showing off Stampin' Up!'s blender pens (to view them click the link), they're really cool!  they have no colour at all, but you can pick up colour and then colour in your stamped images with them! These are the cards I made after the video with the bits I made in the video☺ There are different ways to pick up the colour with the blender pens.  I show 5 in the video The first I show, is to stamp in the colour you want to use, and use the blender pen to "pull" the colour from the edges into the image, the mouse in this card uses this technique.   the second technique is on the pencil which is coloured using blender pen to pick up colour from the pastels, literally just wiping the blender pen across the pastel and colouring with it. Both of these techniques give quite a nice soft look. Next is picking up colour by squeezing my ink pad (while it's still closed) this gives you ink on the inside of t

 Hi there Creators, Well today I'm showing how to make a really simple cascade card, once you've got the dimensions worked out you can make it in any size. I couldn't remember the name of this to begin with and waterfall card, accordion card both came to mind, but after a spot of googling, it's actually called a Cascade card! Here is the finished article (which will be off to my friends who are getting married this afternoon, so they shouldn't be able to see this post!)   As you can see I ended up having to create an envelope too for the card, as it was just too big for a standard envelope (plus this dresses the outside up nicely!)😉  How gorgeous is this Edens Garden Paper? and the meadow dies I think go nicely with it.  I couldn't resist using some of my favourite Garden Gems too (sad to think at the end of the year the Eden's garden paper and gems will retire 😢)  So if you want some get them now!! See this link for the products I used in this card:  What

 HI there Creators, I saw these really pretty baubles on pinterest, and thought I'd give it a go, she cut all hers by hand, Yikes!! I took the easy way out and used punches lol.  I picked out the Label me Lovely Punch , and the other things you'll need are ribbon and an adhesive that will draw a fine line - I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow to most) They are remarkably simple to make, punch yourself 20 of your chosen punch shape. Then fold them in 1/2 then draw a fine line of glue across the inside middle of each individual one, do this to all 20. then draw a fine line of glue at each end, so you can stack them together, and they stick together top and bottom.  Once you have the stack of 20, and the glue is dry, check it out, slowly pull the 2 end pieces round to meet each other, you can add some ribbon, before you attach the 2 sides together (again by a line at the top and the bottom)  Check out the video I made if that doesn't make sense😊 I hope this inspires you
