Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

Image
 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

Something Saturday - Bleach and More Wishes

 Hi there Creators

Today I was playing with the fabulous More Wishes Stamp set, one of my favourite saying's/word sets in the annual catalogue is Biggest Wish and I was excited to see More Wishes which uses the same fonts and lettering size so they coordinate together.

I was trying to work out a way to coordinate them in with a piece of designer paper from the gorgeous Joy of Christmas designer Paper, by drawing lines onto my stamp, but as it didn't work terribly well, my eye spied my bleach and voila:

I think it's a kind of fun way to create a different effect, all I've done is used a paint brush and bleach.  Stamp the saying first then add the bleach dotted around, I think the above card looks like someone's thrown snowballs at it!  To see what I've used click here: What Heather Used

Then I may have got a bit carried away, and couldn't resist creating way more with the gorgeous paper, and trying out what the bleach looked like with the different colours.

Then as I'd decided to use blue, I then had to find different designer paper for it, so, go the Winter Meadow designer Paper (so pretty!)

I hope this inspires you to dig out the bleach and create.
