Being CreateAble with Heather

Hi There Creators Yep it's Paper Pumpkin time of the month!  This Months kit is called "Hooray for Birthdays" And this month I decided rather than to show you how to create the cards in the pack, I'd make up a heap of alternatives and a couple more in my video....  And guess what?  If you're new to PP, and you subscribe for the  August Paper Pumpkin, you'll get 25% off!! (you must subscribe by 10th August) so rather than $48 you'll only pay $36 (bargain) and it looks gorgeous from the snippets shown. (click the link!) So this is what July's kit actually makes, -  3 each of each of these gorgeous Easel cards (9 cards total) Then I got to work on "alternatives"  I actually love the challenge of using up the entire kit, which is what I succeeded in doing, and the only extras I used were 2 other ink pads (Garden Green and Hydrangea Hue), blending brushes, white cardstock and glues. The kit comes with a Timid Tiger mini Ink Pad, and I would have ...

 Hi There Creators Well today I'm finally showing off the Impressions plate, and the absolutely gorgeous  Pretty Poinsettia  Bundle, then inadvertently also showing the  Stitched Stocking  Bundle, the  Shimmering Stripes Specialty Paper  (Oh my goodness if you love shimmery, shiny things this is a must have!) and it all paired rather nicely with the  In Colour Flat Pearls , so here goes...... The card I made up in the video is this one, using the Stitched Stocking stamps in the background, the big stocking die, then the dies from the Poinsettia bundle embossed into the stocking (which just happens to be cut from Shimmering Stripes paper)😃 Oh I also used some of the Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers) to colour in the Joy, then couldn't resist putting a spot of Wink of Stella over top (you can never have enough bling!) thought I should give you a close up of the Joy, I added the wink of stella over the blends, then coloured in the 3 rhinestones with...

  Hi there Creators, I have created the Class cards for August now, The class dates are Friday 7th at 1pm in Laanecoorie, and Saturday 8th at 10.30am in Maryborough, Class fee is $30, and we'll be creating these 4 Cards, let me know if these dates don't suit you and you'd like to have a gathering at your place (or in my classroom) to repeat it with friends. Click on each photo to see the products used for each card: Edited on 8th August, I have just done my class and thought I'd try doing a video to go with this during the class, please let me know what you think, if you enjoyed seeing these done in my class setting, Oh and I thought I'd show you how my class  Happy Birthday foiled Card ended up, as I couldn't manage the proper vertical lines this time🤣  I think I prefer this alternative anyway! Check out the video here: I hope you can join us, and if not that these cards give you inspiration with your creating God Bless love Heather xox

 Hi There Creators Thought I'd let you know about the upcoming Go Tropical  🦩🍹🌴August CreateAlong! What's a CreateAlong?  It's where you order yourself a pack then on the designated day CreateAlong with me (that's the theory)  Actually with my CreateAlongs, you can join in any time after it goes "live" as my videos are pre-recorded, which means you can stop & start it at any time 😃 This one will go live on 15th August, but you need to order it before 28th July as I'll be ordering for it that day.  The cost of the kit is $40 (plus postage of $5.10 if needed) ask me for payment details. Here is the photo "conglomerate"  I needed to create something that made me feel warmer 🤣 - although in fact the new foiling machine does give me warm & fuzzies (in particular the heat coming from the pad! lol)  These are the goodies I've used in these cards, and if you order the pack you'll be getting 1/2 or  1/4 packs of each, they will be cu...

 Hi There Creators, Well..... I never thought I'd "need" a foiling machine & extras (like Dies!) , but they say don't knock it till you've tried it🤣 (click the link to check it out)  Oh and if you purchase one at the moment, you also get a craft class thrown in for good measure😉  I actually recommend if you are considering it, joining my team and getting the discount on it (and on the extras... and more.....)  Check out this link if you're seriously considering the pro's of joining my team:  Join Heather's Team  (can't think of any con's lol) Oh, my goodness, I'm so glad I did buy one, it gives such an incredibly professional look!  I said in the video I'd make up a heap of cards, and I confess I played a fair bit with it, but then got side-tracked by needing to prep for my Mega Christmas in July class (next Saturday eek!), and because I'm prepping out in my classroom, and not my craft room (there's a difference trust me🤣...

  Hi There Creators Well today I thought I'd play around with the  Detailed Flora Dies  only $23 (bargain!)😃  However the catch is, you can only get these dies if you subscribe to Paper Pumpkin, therefore if you fall in love with them, you'll need to order yourself a paper pumpkin subscription for at least one month! (check it out here: Paper Pumpkin )  I have just noticed that the full kit from a couple of months ago (Lakeside Retreat) is also now available under the "Add On's" (Lots of people have loved this kit! fabulous for guys cards!)  I also used the  Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon    and the  Scalloped Blooms Dies   for the cute little easel card I made in my video, which is this one: Then I played around some more and came up with this card, which uses the circle a bit more, I really like the pattern round the circle, with the dot then 2 dashes (bit of morse code going on there 🤣) Here is the video in case you missed it: ...
