 Hi there Creators Today I thought we'd have a play with the cute Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper , I made up this card before the video: For this one I've ended up stamping the sentiment from Joy to You stamp set , then clear heat embossing over the top (if you stamp with a normal ink it will rub straight off vellum, so you have to set it in place).  I did initially stamp directly onto the cardstock, but discovered that the paper is a little bit too busy for that, and it didn't show up, but I love using vellum, as you can still see the images through it (it's like adding a "transparency shape" to a picture in Word, which I also love doing)  How cool is the White Iridescent ribbon ?  and you can see the little Iridescent Adhesive backed discs in the corners of the vellum (ooo goldfish..... shiny..... )🤣 Then in the video I end up making a sleeve/wrapping for a couple of blingy gifts I'm sending off to people, very simple, cut the cardstock t

Hi there Creators Hands up if you love fireworks!  I love the beauty of them, the colours lighting up the night sky, so when this set "Light the Sky" came out in the mini catalogue, I knew I'd end up buying it.  Have to say it has not disappointed me 😍 I forgot to mention in the video, that there is still a joining offer for Stampin' Up! this month, if you are interested in finding out more about joining Stampin' Up! and my CreateAbles Team, do ask me, or check out the details here: Join Stampin' Up! Today I had pre-created these 2 cards, and whilst making the second one, that uses blending brushes and inks to create the graduated ombre-type background, I noticed that I was creating a pretty cool pattern on the scrap paper underneath, hence in the video I make the last card using the dies to create masks to use. Card 1:  I've heat embossed the stamped images with gold embossing powder , then added the Gold foil cardstock underneath, so it shines through

 Hi there Creators Today I have BLING 😍 in the form of the new Online Exclusive Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper (check it out through the link) It comes in Gold and Silver - one sheet of each (12x12") in the pack, and Oh my goodness, you're going to want some!  As a demo I got to order it early (having said that I was away in England when it arrived, so haven't been able to play till now) BUT guess what?  This month (October) Stampin' Up! have an amazing Joining special, so you too could pick up goodies before they're available to general public (and much more).  Check the deal out here:  Join My Team . Anyway on with the bling, Oh I mean blog..... Here are the cards I create from the pieces I make in the video  Here is the first one that I'd created before the video I use the Handcrafted Elements Dies , Joy to You stamp set and the beautiful Silver & White Sheer ribbon , as well as the amazing new glimmer paper !  in the video I show how I take the middle

Hi there Creators, Today I'm showing you one of my new favourites! Stars at Night Hybrid Embossing folder , this is a 3D folder plus a set of 14 matching dies. Here are the die cuts: In the video I suggest a way to emboss the stars so they don't get squashed, so here goes...... I suggest you emboss a piece of cardstock first through the embossing folder, then cut out with the dies, whichever stars from it you're likely to use, see the photo below. (this will squash these stars flat!)  Then cut yourself blank stars using the dies, and slot them into the embossing folder using your pre-cut template to guide where they should sit.  Voila perfectly cut and embossed stars 😍   I don't actually make up any of the cards in the video, so here are a couple that I did make up afterwards.  I've used the beautiful Winter Meadow Designer Paper with a bit of Smoky Slate cardstock behind it,  the Adhesive Backed Star trinkets are the tiny stars, and the Blooming Pearls are the
