Being CreateAble with Heather

 Hi there Creators, As I mentioned in the video, this card I designed for my Backstage Fancy Fold swap.  As my roomie liked it I ended up giving her my original card, I figured I've made it at least 10x how hard can it be to make another one? 🤣  Apparently when you give yourself a break from making them it takes a bit to get back into it! (take heed of my mistakes in the video, so you create your own ones😃).  I haven't got round to naming this fold, maybe V Bouquet?  what do you think? let me know if you have any ideas. I wanted to give people something that was totally original, and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, this was the inside of the one I gave away (not dis-similar to the one I produce in the video)  Probably the video one was a little simpler.  I've used the So Swirly Embossing Folder (which I didn't in the video, but it does add a little "something"), The Charming Day bundle, which sadly is on the Last Chance list, however if you...

 Hi There Creators, Today I went through some of my goodies that are on the Last Chance List (click the link to see the list). There's a heap that have been reduced, and heads up, check the individual prices before ordering the bundle, it may work out cheaper! So then I saw a card design on a FB reel and thought that is so cool (and simple) I couldn't resist having a go and passing my "newfound" knowledge on to you all😃 (gotta love me🤣) I'm pretty sure the lady showing it off called it a Split Scene card, and I confess I did use the same Designer papers as she did (although I did ring the changes with stamps and ephemera choices) Here is the first card I made (all retiring goodies), I used the North Pole Delivery Designer Paper , and the Traditional Labels Stamp set  how cute is the little dog that presses out from the Designer Paper? Then in the video I made up this one, also using the North Pole Designer Paper, but this time incorporating the Christmas Greeti...

  Hi There Creators Today is my Something Saturday CreateAlong 😃 In case you didn't order the kit and  you need the measurements they are below, and here are the mini cards and suitcase I created. (Make sure you're on my email list so you get details about the next CreateAlong) I'll be using one of the Suitcase Treat boxes which were on the clearance rack, and have now sold out, so if you do want one, let me know! I still have a couple spare. If you have one already you'll be needing: Plain coloured Cardstock (2 of) 3 1/2" x 2 3/4" Plus (2 of) 1" x 2 1/2", Plus (2 of) 1" x 2 3/4" (DSP) Designer series Paper (2 of) 3 1/4" x 2 1/2" Plus (2 of) 3/4" x 3 1/4", Plus (2 of) 3/4" x 2 1/2" * I recommend having a DSP you can cut images out of to "embellish" with I've used North Pole Delivery (click on link to see it) When you cut your DSP for this, I recommend cutting a strip of 3 1/4" then take pie...

 Hi There Creators, Well as most of you know I went to a Stampin' Up! leadership event called Backstage in Las Vegas recently, I made up 10 thankyou cards and 10 fancy fold cards (same design for each of the 10 cards) to be in an organised swap, and here is what I received in return (my fancy fold isn't in the line up, as I'll be showing that as a separate video later this month) Oh and some of the goodies that were used in these cards have gone on the Last Chance list and been discounted 😃  Best check it out here: Heathers online store Oh and yes there is more than 20 cards there, in case you're counting as I've included a couple of others I received too 😃 here's the video in case you missed it, as I do show the fancy fold cards a bit better in the video: I hope these inspire you to create! God Bless love Heather xox

 Hi There Creators, oops just realised Card class is on this Friday & Saturday (if you get my emails you'll already know this) but I hadn't done a Blog post to go with it!  The last Chance list was updated yesterday and seems to have a few of the goodies I'm using, so get over there and check it out there's some bargains to be had! (click this link:)  Heather's Stampin' Up! Shop Ok, we'll make this quick🤣  Classes are Friday 5th at 1pm Laanecoorie, and Saturday 6th at 10.30am Maryborough. Cards/projects we'll be making are: This one uses Shepherds Care Stamp set( on the last chance list), and the ultra useful  Everyday Arches Dies Next is this one, which you may recognise the inside of, if you've watched my videos (especially the one on 1st November) It uses the Gingerbread Man stamps & dies (which are on the last chance list) Then we have this one which isn't a card, it's a gift card holder, I've used the Encircled with Love sta...

Hi there Creators, Today I figured I'd crack open my Nutcracker Tags Kit (pardon the pun😃) I did discover there's more than you need in the kit, (and me being me, I had to make cards out of the tags, so I ended up with an extra card - woo hoo💖) Here are the tags this kit creates  Having made them up I discovered this much extra: So I made this: Then I made up these cards with the Tags: this first one I used the Glass & Gardens Embossing folder on the Granny Apple green 1cm strips. This next one uses a bit of the Real Red Shiny Ribbon down the side. Then a length of the Shaded Spruce/Soft Sea Foam Bordered Ribbon . And lastly some plain real red card strips down the sides of this one. All nice and simple, but they make lovely cards! If you missed the video, here it is: If you'd like to purchase this kit you can go here:  Buy Nutcracker Kit , or let me know, and we'll work it out together! I hope these inspire you to create! God Bless love Heather xox

 Hi there Creators As I mention in the video, I'm sure I've seen this technique used, but I'm not sure this is exactly what I saw (or what it's called) as I couldn't find it again! (typical!) Anyway, we're going with it 🤣  I have used these in the video: Encircled with Love Stamps , Delightful Decorative Dots , 2" circle punch , 2 3/8" circle punch , However, click on the photos to see the full products I've used for each card. How cute are the little Faceted Snowflakes in this next card? You absolutely need your Paper Trimmer to do this - the lines are invaluable! Then I ended up making my swaps for Backstage (that I'm off to the US for this Friday) the girls at class suggested I used the "green & gold" for Aussie😃 If you want to see how to create the lines, I show that in the video, here it is..... I hope this inspires you to create. God Bless love Heather xox

 Hi there Creators Today's the day! If you ordered a kit, I hope you find it easy enough to follow along.  If you didn't order a kit, don't forget to next time!  I hope you all got the email I sent out a couple of days ago with the measurements (again if you got a kit it should all be pre-cut for you).  NB: If you haven't signed up for my email list do so now, so you don't miss out on anything! Here are the cards I create in the video, click on this link to see or order all the goodies I used; CreateAlong Goodies . Video link below in case you missed it. then I also made up these ones, as you can see one doesn't get cut And the video link: I hope you have created along with me, make sure you send me a photo of what you made, I love seeing what people have created😍 I hope these inspire you in your creative journey God Bless love Heather xox

Hi There Creators Today I'm showing off an old card fold I created a few years back, and had a request to do a video on it, - Yay love requests💖 if you would like to see anything in particular do let me know! Also if you don't get my emails, make sure you sign up, then I can connect with you and send you updates and specials that are happening! This is the card I created this time: using the Gingerbread Man Bundle I said I'd share the measurements with you, but figured it might be helpful just to post the full instructions I have from the last card I made, when you look at them, just bear in mind that I've used a different "wave" look background on the finished card to the ones on the 2nd page (not sure why but it was 3 years ago🤣) Here are my original instructions: However if you missed the video, and want to see it in action, here it is:  Do let me know if you make one of these, and send me a photo, I love seeing what people have created 😍 I hope this ins...
