Something Saturday - Last Chance List plus a simple card

 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 Greetings Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes, and the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.  It's such a great way of using up really busy Designer Papers

All you need to create this is a base card, Designer Paper 3 - 4cm smaller than your base card, a mat around 1cm bigger than your designer Paper, and a piece of white (or plain) colour card, same length as your designer Paper, but shorter height, as you'll be cutting it in 1/2, so maybe 3cm shorter.

Then you cut a wavy pattern in the white and stick it all together, add some ephemera/ stamps/ sayings etc and voila!  If you plan to stamp, potentially you might want to do that before sticking it all down!

Anyway if you missed the video, here it is....

I hope you are inspired by my creations

CreateAlong December 2025

 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 pieces off it in this order:
2 1/2",  3/4",  2 1/2", 3/4".  then cut 2 more strips of 3/4" and trim these down to 2 1/2" length, this will ensure your pattern goes round the box.

For the Card bases you'll need 2 x A5 sheets of white or vanilla (depends on what suits your DSP, score them lengthways at 7.4cm, then cut into 7cm strips and fold in 1/2 at the score line, this will give you 6 mini cards.

For the Cards you'll need: (note some measurements are inches some are cm! 😃)

• Plain colour card (3 of) 2 3/4" x 2 1/2"
• Designer Paper (4 of) 2 1/2" x 2 1/4"
• Designer Paper 2 3/4" x 2 1/2"
• Plain colour card 4.5cm x 7cm
• Designer paper 1 1/2" x 7 cm
• you'll also need a smallish saying stamp (and ink pad) and a small punch or die cut piece to stamp it onto. I used Long Time No See Stamp set and Everyday Arches Dies
• some coordinating ribbon I've used: Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon 
• Embellishments I used Faceted Snowflakes

If you missed the video here it is:

I hope that you did CreateAlong with me, if you did, please send me a photo of your creations I'd love to see them.

God Bless love

Something Saturday - Swaps I received at Backstage

 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

Card class in December

 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 stamp set and Season of Elegance Designer Paper

and last but not least one of these 2 cards that uses the Merry Christmas Stamp (also on last chance) and Cheers & Sips bundle (which oh my goodness I 've just discovered is also on the last chance list! yikes!) and incidentally if you're quick you can pick up the dies and stamp set individually cheaper than the bundle price!

And that's it!

Don't forget to book your place if you're coming

I hope these inspire you to create

God Bless love
