Something Saturday - Hooray for Honeycomb Kit

Image
 Hi there Creators, Today I thought we'd take a look at one of the new Kits that Stampin' Up! has brought out, it's really fun!, the name "honeycomb" kind of gives it away🤣 There are 9 cards to create, and it's a nice simple kit, would make an excellent gift for anyone who is thinking of starting off with card-making, there's no stamping involved - it's all "stick it together" and everything is included to do this.  At $32 it works out to $3.56 per card (which let's face it is pretty cheap for a card these days!) So here are the cards you can make (3 of each): Don't you just love the matching envelopes? The front of each card has clear embossed shiny bits on it (most obvious on the rainbow card at the top! with my photography) And there you have it, I haven't had the chance to play around and see what else I can create with this kit yet, so if you get it and do play around, let me know what you do! If you missed the video here it

March Class Cards

Image
 Hi There Creators Well we're over 1/2 way through February already!, and I feel like I have been ultra organised in getting these cards sorted now🤣 Have you remembered to order enough during Jan & Feb to get any of the free Sale-a-Bration Items?   You get to pick something for free with every $90 of goodies you order, but it only goes till the end of Feb, so check the link out if you want to see the freebees. Anyway onto the March classes, We make 4 cards for $24, Dates are:  Laanecoorie: Tues 5th I we're going to give 1.30pm a go , instead of the 2.30pm we did last month (it'll settle down once I've tried it out, and afternoon did work well), then Thursday 7th at 7pm And in Maryborough Saturday 9th at 10.30am Here are cards: First up using Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper and the Beautiful Balloons stamp set (each card should be different depending on the papers you choose😊 Then continuing on with Designer Papers I have this Perennial Lavender Card

Something Saturday - A touch of Scrapbooking with Beautiful Balloons

Image
 Hi there Creators,  Well I've been saying that my new glass mat would be ideal for scrapbooking on, so thought I'd better prove it 🤣  Just as a side note it's Sale-a-Bation at the moment (SAB for short) till end of Feb, and you can score yourself one of these amazing glass work mats for free when you join Stampin' Up!  The deets are: pick $235 of goodies, and only pay $169, then get the glass mat studio for free with it (see here: Join my team if you're interested or ask me). Anyway moving on to the scrapbooking, I can't say I'm an expert at this, it's definitely not my favourite thing, but, I volunteered to create a scrapbook of our Carol service as a gift for someone.  I have these bright ideas sometimes 🤣  Although actually I quite enjoyed making these sheets up in the video and I've had a few more ideas for the pictures with songs connected to the photos. The first page is this one: not made in video - and as you can see it's remarkably si

Something Saturday - Magic Slider Card

Image
 Hi There Creators, Today I'm showing how I make a magic slider card, here is the original one I made up using the Bright & Beautiful Suite :   with the stamps I've used my Brights Stampin' Write Marker s to create the rainbow effect by colouring directly onto the stamps, then you huff on the stamp to put moisture back onto it, then stamp it. Then this is the one I made up in the video using the Online Exclusive Trucking Along Bundle , so cool, it's a punch and stamp set.   I've used the Gold Celebrations Specialty Designer Series "paper" I'd call it acetate!  as I thought it was kind of fun having the printed acetate instead of plain, and there's a bonus that one side is gold and the other is silver 😊  I've also stamped directly onto the Herringbone Ribbon , I love that you can do that with this ribbon as it's quite smooth, and wide. I promised the measurements on here, so here goes, you'll need: A 1/2 piece of A4 (cut lengthways

Mini Camera Shutter Card

 Hi There Creators, Today I'm showing you how to make a mini camera shutter card, it's made with an A6 piece of card (so cute!) Here are 3 of the cards as closed ,1/2 open, and open, so it makes a bit more sense (little hard to photograph!) And these are the components you'll need to make this particular one, check out this list for the products used: what Heather used   and the measurements are below. j   You'll need: A6 thick white card, scored in each side at 3.7cm 2 pieces Misty Moonlight card cut to 7cm x 5.9cm scored at 1cm on the long edge 2 pieces of designer paper cut to 1" x 4" 1 piece of designer paper cut to 2" x 4", scored in at 1/2cm (or 1/4") both ends and with the medium filled in balloon from the dies cut from the middle of it. a small balloon cut from designer paper. 2 3/8" circle punch take your pick tool  I'm not sure I'd do justice to explaining how to create this one, so I'll leave it up to the video!    I

Something Saturday - 3 Uses for the Beautiful Balloons Striped Die

Image
 Hi there Creators,  Oooo multiple uses for one die, excellent!  I'm wondering if some other clever people out there have thought of more uses for this die🤣 Here is the die..... Check out the whole bundle here: Beautiful Balloons Bundle there actually is an entire suite (which I wish I'd bought now!!) Beautiful Balloons Suite   Anyway my 3 ways are using the die as fringing, as in this card: kind of like one a flapper skirt, I've used the stunning Dry Brushed Metallic Paper to create this one, OH WOW it's blingy!😍  Have to admit once I'd made it I really didn't know how to add the saying, ended up choosing to heat emboss black on vellum so you can see through it a little, and attached it with a couple of the brads.   The other 2 ways are incorporated into the next card, the first being that you allow cardstock on both sides of the die, then thread ribbon in and out to create a dash effect (go the Morse code 🤣)  Then the other way is to cut the card in the

Something Saturday - It's a Wrap Card

Image
 Hi there Creators,  Today's video is about an "envelope fold card" but in typical Heather style I had to change it round 🤣 I really wanted to not have to cut/discard any of my 6x6" Designer Paper and to be able to just use it wrapped round the card, with minimal effort.  Admittedly there is a bit of lining up that is required, but generally it's quite simple, and I think the result is worth it, just a little bit different!😁 Anyway enough waffling, here is the card I made before the video:  I used a designer paper that's now retired but the dies are from All That Die set. As you can see the envelope type flap on the side tucks in under the raised saying And the back gets decorated up at the same time 😊 Then the card I made up in the video is this one:  I've used the new Bright & Beautiful Papers with matching Beautiful Balloons Bundle (stamps & dies)  I don't know what it is about this bundle/suite that appeals to me so much but I think it
