Being CreateAble with Heather

 Hi There Creators, Well today I get to play around with some more new goodies (available on 5th May if you're not a "demonstrator")  Tempted to join my team? you can get new goodies early, plus you get a discount on them (win, win!!)  Check out this info Join my Team I'm showing off a few of my new goodies, but the one I end up playing with in the video is Floral Spray 3D Embossing folder, its a big 6" x 8" folder and really gorgeous! Here's what I end up creating with what I made during the video: I did create 2 frames using the Golden Glow and Peaceful Pine Cardstocks then it's mounted onto a Crisp Cantaloupe A4 card, added a bit of Wink of Stella (which you can't really see in the photo!), and that's it! I also had a play around with the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder, using the same technique to ink up the smooth side of the folder then run it through the Cut & Emboss Machine I ended up making another larger card than normal so...

Hi There Creators,  I decided this needed a post all of it's own as it is a separate class!  This in either an In Person or you can order it by mail class, and you need to have ordered by 4th May as I'll be ordering when the catalogue goes live on 5th 😃 (I am praying that I can get all the "ingredients" without anything being on back-order! Class Dates if you're keen on an In Person class are Tuesday 26th May in Maryborough (ask me for the address) at 3pm, then Saturday 30th at 2pm in my classroom here in Laanecoorie, the class cost is $43 and you'll create 7 cards (you'll get full instructions, all the pieces prepped for you, an extra set of the papers, and more)  Make sure you have booked your place soon, as places are limited (obviously not limited for "at Home creating"!) Anyway enough of the details and on to the cards...... there are 2 fancy fold cards in this class at the bottom😉 It's hard to show the shimmer on the paper in a photo,...

 Hi There Creators Today I'm showing off a couple of ways to use your Silicone Brayer, I'm using some of the goodies that are discounted and on the retiring list (check out the whole list here: Last Chance Products) The first technique I showed off is the one we used on Friday & Saturday in my regular classes.  this involves Inking the brayer on the corner of the ink pad, so you get triangular shapes on your brayer (and you don't run the brayer over the whole ink pad), gives a cool background effect, I then teamed it up with the gorgeous, sadly retiring Layers of Beauty (if you don't have this set you can get stamps - just discovered these have sold out😢, dies and masks, which are really beautiful  and the  Purple Shimmer Gems   (and all reduced)! - different links for each product The next technique involves inking the brayer up properly, but then only using partially on the background, then adding another colour and repeating it, again giving a great ba...

 Hi there Creators My May "4 Cards Class" is happening on Friday 1st at 1pm (Laanecoorie) and Saturday 2nd 10.30am in Maryborough. And here are the cards we'll be creating: The New Catalogue won't be quite released at this point, as it goes live on 5th, but I've sneaked in a couple of new goodies! The first one uses the most new goodies, Scalloped Blooms Dies, (gee these dies are amazing the largest one is big enough to create a card with (as you can see!) then I've used a new stamp set: Sending Salutations, and also new Designer Paper: Artisian Sketched Garden, (which is a fabulous black and white set) Next up is this one that inadvertently also uses the Scalloped Blooms dies, in the background as masks (oh and some of the new In colours 😉)  Then the stamp set is Forever Florals . and a spot of new Peaceful Pine Ribbon. This card does inadvertently use a new goodie in it, the White Gel Pen, which Stampin' Up! have tested to make sure it doesn't stop ...

Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show off this months Paper Pumpkin Kit, it's pretty cool and does make some fabulous Blokey cards!  If you didn't order it for yourself, hopefully you haven't lost the chance - if it hasn't sold out, you need to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin, then you should be able to order past kits after 21st. And of course if you're looking for a crafty gift for a friend it would make an amazing presy💖  What better than to have a surprise box of crafty goodness turn up on your doorstep monthly? Anyway onto what I've created with mine, and I did use up the entire kit (very proud of myself!) The first 3 photos show the "official" card from the pack in the top left corner, then a couple of varieties, I pretty much used only kit ingredients to create them, except for a bit of ribbon on 2 of the cards and extra glues.  As the cards are decorated front and back I cut mine in 1/2 so I could use both sides, and made the most of the s...

 Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show you a quick sneak peek of some of the new goodies coming up in May (unless of course you are a demonstrator, in which case you have access to them now!)😃  Excellent reason for joining Stampin' Up! and my CreateAbles Team - not to mention the fact that we get a discount on our goodies! Let me know if you want more info. One of the goodies I showed off is the Water & Dotted Lines Decorative Masks, which are 12x12 size, so I got out my glass mat,  (it really is the perfect surface to craft on!) and my thick white 12x12 cardstock (and my photos from my trip last November to the US, and Yay got 2 more pages done😃) Thought I'd show you the process first, best to tape the mask down over the cardstock or it does move! you can see I've used 4 colours and I've just realised I've got my blue ink pads in the wrong order down the side of the piece, Ah well at least the middle one is right🤣 And this is how it turned out - is...
