Being CreateAble with Heather

Hi there Creators Well I figured as we're getting towards Easter maybe I should try something "Easter'y", and as I was driving home I thought ooo, how about a woven basket, so I planned it out in my head, and here we are......  I'm impressed it did go to plan and actually was fairly easy to create. I've used a  2 3/8" circle punch  as the bottom of my little basket, and I'm actually surprised by how sturdy it is (as you can see at the end of my video when I decide to try and find out how much will actually fit inside it🤣) The one I made in the video (with the handle) uses the gorgeous Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper , which is actually on the clearance rack and down from $29 to $17.40 (bit of a bargain!) If you missed the video here it is, I don't think I'd do a good job of trying to explain how to create this in words🤣 If you do have a go at it, let me know how you go, I'd love to see photos too😉 I hope this inspires...

 Hi There Creators, Here are the cards for 2 regular classes on Friday 10th 1pm in Laanecoorie and Saturday 11th April 10.30am Maryborough (set back a week due to Easter) This is probably my favourite one, I think maybe it's the simplicity of it!  I've used the Cutest Crew Stamp set (which does come as a bundle with dies - well worth it!) Nest up is this easy fancy fold card, I did show off how to make these not long ago in one of my Something Saturday Videos, and I figured this Scalloped Wishes Bundle would make a beautiful card along with the Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper Then onto the Springtime Scenes Bundle (the dies I'm using in my April CreateAlong that I have already started email people about - so if you're not on my email list make sure you add yourself!) Then last but not least using this cute March Product of the Month Stamp set (that is still available) Notes of Spring Stamps, and the OH MY GOODNESS - you have to check this out Garden Texture...

 Hi there Creators, Well, last weekend I was away at Stampin' Up! OnStage Conference in Sydney, I had a fabulous time, we stayed in a nice central apartment, around 250m walk to the Hilton which was where OnStage was happening (and considerably cheaper!)  We had sneak peeks of new upcoming goodies (oh my goodness it's so worth being a demonstrator to get to do these things!)  We got given the new upcoming catalogue, can't show you the inside just yet - but if you are a demo, you can check it out online already.  And if you want a copy, make sure you've placed an order with me in the last 6 months, as I'll be sending them out to anyone who has😉 I had my name a couple of places on the recognition boards and got to do a "Stage walk" for my 200K CSV achievement💖  It's actually really lovely the way Stampin' Up! recognise demos for different milestones. Very exciting news that 13 years after it was launched, we are finally getting Paper Pumpkin here i...

 Hi there Creators From Wednesday to Sunday I will be in Sydney at the Stampin' Up! "OnStage" Conference , 😃🤩 and I thought I'd share with you the Swap cards I have made up, I've used the newly released "Cutest Crew Bundle"   and yes it really is cute! (click the link to check it all out) I thought you might be interested to see the progression of getting to this card (although I only took one photo of the "progression card" 🤣 As you can see I ended up altering the score line dimensions and changing the piece along the bottom to not being embossed, and cut out from Early Espresso - plus the little paw prints were a bit too busy, so I cut them out - much happier with my final offering! (and the first one I scored all the way through so the dogs have a score line going through them, not so great!🤣) You will need a piece of A5 White Cardstock Score it at 8cm one end, and 5cm the other end, (then score the 5cm bit in 1/2, but only on the sides ...

 Hi there Creators I was at our church conference the other day and on the big screen they often have really cool patterns, one of the ones this time was gorgeous black background with rainbow shafts of light going through it, I often see these patterns and think I'm sure I can recreate that on cardstock🤣 Plus Mum the other day showed me something she'd been doing with a craft group she goes to, where you have the black cards that you scratch away the surface and reveal colours underneath (I used to love those as a kid!) Just quickly before I go into the post in more detail, did you know that this month there was a heap of new products released to the Online Store? check them out here: New Goodies! Back to it: here is my attempt, I quite like it, let me know what you think,  I've used, Craft White Ink pad , Sponge Daubers , the Soft Pastels Assortment , Black Cardstock , White heat embossing powder, and bling in the first card I've used the Rhinestone Basic Jewels , a...
