Being CreateAble with Heather

  Hi There Creators I wanted to show you this really easy way to create a mitred corner, and display both sides of the Designer Series Paper at the same time.   Just quickly, in the video I show off some of the cards I made in the Virtual Card Retreat, it is still available if you want to check it out here is the link: Virtual Card Retreat .   I also mention an offer coming up on 3rd Feb where you can score the BRAND NEW Stampin' Positioner Tool before anyone else, when you join Stampin' Up!  Ironically mine arrived yesterday - the day after I recorded the video (and before I got to writing this up🤣) so stay tuned for next week! but here's a little teaser: Stampin' Positioner   and if you wonder why it's worth joining Stampin' Up!, check this out: Feb Exclusive Join offer .  I joined for the discount 18 years ago! (I still love it for the discount, especially when new goodies come out and I think there's so much I want how can I afford everything...

 Hi there Creators, yes you heard it right I'm actually doing some scrapbooking, in theory the "easy" way.  And if I didn't have 175 photos to get through of my holiday/Stampin' Up! conference trip to the USA then I might consider doing the pages the way they suggest! Having said that once I got the hang of it, I did quite enjoy doing this Kit: Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Kit .   My top tips with doing this are..... cut all the cardstock and label each piece (even if it's with a sticky note rather than pencil) lay out your base sheets and add all the pieces needed for each page to it (then when you come to create the page you have all the bits you need ready and waiting) Lay out 2 pages at once (next to each other so you can check the pattern and lines go across at the same level (of course if you use the calculations in the kit instructions they should match anyway!) sort out photos you'd like to use on the pages, if you need to add more than they sugge...

 Hi There Creators,  Well I have no idea what this card is meant to be called so I'm calling it a Stair strips card kind of because it's made of strips and looks like stairs (Heather logic🤣). I'm using last months Product of the Month which was these True Blue Florals papers at time of writing this, they are still available, if you do a $125 order you can pick them for $9😃  However for the first 5 people who place a $75 order before postage this month you'll get a pack of 6x6 sheets (1 of each design) as a thankyou from me.  And don't forget to check out January's Product Of The Month ! Definitely worth the order in my humble opinion! Anyway onto my "Stair Strips Card" I taught in the video today Here is the card I created today: On top of the True Blue Florals Designer Paper I've stamped the leaves from Nature's Symphony Stamp set , and the saying cut out with the Labelled with Love punch comes from there too, a spot of Pastels Shimmer pape...

Hi There Creators Today I was playing around with my section of   Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper , initially I'd used a piece and cut it with some rectangle dies, which I thought I'd discovered were discontinued, however, now I've just realised they have a different name to what I thought they were, and yay still current!  Textured Note Dies,   here it is..... To be honest it's probably not paper I'd normally use, but I went in a 4 way paper share with others in my team, which was totally worth it to see what the papers were like in the "flesh" as it were!  And I'm happy to have a little bit of it to play around with. I then moved onto the   Everyday Arches Dies  to cut the one I create in the video, here it is: The  Foam Adhesive Strips  are invaluable to propping up the middle piece, then I've added some  Adhesive Backed Metallic Gems  and used the  Banner Sayings bundle  with Cajun Craze ink and cardstock (fun...

 Hi There Creators,  Yep I'm organised enough to be able to put up here the cards we'll be creating next month🤩 This month is the start of the new fee structure for my "4 Cards Class"  So the class will be $30 or free with a $35 order (my hope is that it will bump up my orders with Stampin' Up!, and get me closer on the path to earning the incentive trip) 🚢 Dates are Friday 6th at 1pm in Laanecoorie, and Saturday 7th at 10.30am in Maryborough. And here are the cards..... This first card uses the beautiful Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper , Textured Metallic Specialty Paper, Old Olive specialty Rickrack Ribbon , Banner Sayings Bundle and the Spotlight on Nature Dies I'm quite chuffed with this next one, as the "horseshoe" shape is made by positioning the photpolymer stamp in a different way than intended, (which came to me as I was putting it on the block!)  now I'm thinking I might need that horse stamp set after all🤣  anyway I'...
