Being CreateAble with Heather

  Hi there Creators, Just in case you're new to this Chain Swap (and have missed the other hops I've done)  I joined in from April to August in something called a "Chain Swap".   The best way I can describe it is Chinese Whispers for cards.  We took turns starting the chain off with our card, whoever starts it sends it to the next person on the list who CASE's it (Copy And Selectively Edit), they then send their card onto the next person and so it continues.  I'm fascinated to see how the beginning and end results turn out, each of these blog posts have links on them to the next person in the chain, so let me know what you think, and make sure you check out the whole round! I'm not going to spoil the surprise by putting anyone else's cards in (partly because I'd have to search through my classroom - or craft room to find them!)🤦‍♀️ If you have come from the previous blogs you'll have seen the progression so far! Make sure you tap below to see ...

 Hi There Creators 1/2 way through August and I'm organised for September classes - Woah!🤣   These classes are: 1pm Laanecoorie on Friday 4th September, and 10.30am in Maryborough on Saturday 5th September.  If you've never joined in one of my classes and are wondering what it's like, I did video some of my last class, you can find it here: Heather's Class 8th August . Anyway onto the cards we'll be creating in September: First up this cool fancy fold card using the silver hot foils (cold)🤣 - might look a bit familiar if you watch my videos!  The fabulous Gears & Textures Bundle and the Banner Sayings Bundle, click the photo for the full range of what I used, (you can also purchase from that page if you want to) Next up using some new, some old, the squares are really cool, like the Spotlight on Nature Dies,  that I use so frequently, these have the same edging, click on the photo to see all the "ingredients" although the newbie might not show till t...

Hi there Creators After last week of using the "hot" foil - cold I've kind of continued the streak, I feel like I can't get enough of the foil, and I'm so in love with the card I created this week (you all know I can't resist Bling anyway......) Oh and, absolutely no relevance to this Something Saturday, but there is a Paper Sale on currently so if you had your eye on any of the Gorgeous Designer Series papers/ need any A4 Cardstock colours or 2 Tone Cardstock, check the sale out here  Paper Sale  it's on till the end of the month. - Make sure you sign up for my emails to get the latest updates! So without further ado, here is the card, sadly photo's really don't do it justice I have started off with a piece of thick white A4 card, cut this lengthways at 10.5cm, then scored 2, 4, 6, & 8cm in on each end.  I've then used the Gears & Textures Bundle to stamp the 3 sections that show once they're folded round to form the pillars a...

 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 Well I have my March 4 Cards Class sorted😃 The Class dates are Friday 6th at 1pm in my classrooom Laanecoorie, and Saturday 7th 10.30am in Maryborough at the Wattle City Church in Argyle Road. Here is what we'll be making: I was kind of thinking this one would work for an Easter card, or a baby or kids card, or a cheeky, you're how old? card🤣 so I plan to bring along a variety of saying to go with it (which will probably be retired sayings as I didn't have anything appropriate in my current offering!)  it uses the ultra cute Darling Dinos, which has gone onto the retiring list🫤 and is currently cheaper to add to your cart as individual items rather than the bundle check these links out: Darling Dinos Stamp set , Darling Dinos Dies . I've also used the Easter Joy Specialty Designer Series Paper (has a lovely blingy sheen to it) and some of the Stampin' Blends to colour in the dinos and the flowers. Next up is this nice and simple card, that do...

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'...
