Being CreateAble with Heather

Hi Everyone, As next month is not far off, thought I'd share with you the cards for these 3 classes - Sat 7th 10am in Maryborough:  Wednesday 11th - 10am Kangaroo Flat and 7.30pm Laanecoorie. As Christmas is not far away (gulp!) We have 2 Christmas projects. I'm starting with my favourite card for October!  This uses the gorgeous "Painted Harvest" flower as a wreath, and I just love it!  also uses the Hardwood Stamp in the background, and one of the sayings from Snowflake Sentiments . The other Christmas "project" as oppose to a card is this: I thought it would be a nice change to make up a little gift box, this stocking is a little pillow box, I have used the matching stamp set that comes in a bundle with the dies, called: Tags & Trimmings Bundle .  Card #3 been meaning to use this stamp set Floral Phrases again for a while now, and with the Designer Series Paper that looks so similar, I thought why not make my own Designer Series Paper with...

Hi Everyone, Coming up on Tuesday 15th August is my Interactive Cards class, this month we are doing Magic Slider Cards. Which if you follow my blog, you'll recollect from the Bendigo Craft Alive Show back in June.  We'll be making 2 cards (and you will have instructions to create more), here they are: this one uses the Birthday Delivery stamp set and framelits , the idea behind a Magic Slider is that the image is not coloured when the card is slid shut, then when you pull the slider up, it magically colours the image in. Here is the other card we'll be creating: I love flowers done this way, this one is from the stamp set You've Got This .  Hope you can join us either Tuesday morning or Tuesday evening, if you do want to, please book as soon as possible, as I will be making up the kits on Sunday/Monday. Hope it inspires you to create! God Bless love Heather xox

Hi Everyone, thought I'd just share with you what I taught my CreateAbles team ladies today (for those of you who are part of my team and weren't able to join us I am uploading instructions, and more photos for you on our team facebook page) Anyway on with the blog post!  I taught them "Step" cards; side step and middle step Here is the "Side Step": We used the new Carols of Christmas stamp set and thinlits (love the cute little deer!) The second card is a Middle Step card; this one we used the Birthday Delivery bundle , cutting out some of the images from the Designer Series paper with the thinlits.  The little girl facing forwards, and the cake are from the Designer Series Paper (also the background blue dotty paper) and the back of the girl and the flowers are stamped then coloured in. Jenny Stewart also taught us how to make a Zig Zag card, and I showed the girls how to use the embossing paste, and spritz colour over top. We had a fun afte...

Hi Everyone, I missed out doing Christmas in July with you all, so I thought we could do a Christmas in August instead!, So here goes, I need some input with these, as we'll need to pick 4, and I'd rather they were chosen by you who are coming!  #1:this one is for sure, because I really love it! and it shows you the baby wipe ink pad technique it uses the new Carols of Christmas stamp set, wow the sayings/fonts in this set are amazing! #2 this one is growing on me, I wasn't sure that I liked it much when I first did it, but it does show another technique - Versamark resist, with the new/old Glossy White Cardstock . The stamp sets I've used are: Watercolor Words (always makes me cringe spelling colour that way lol) and Star of Light . #3 Not sure if this is too busy, I really like it but then I'm prone to these colours lol!, and not sure if you can tell but the star in the middle is embossed with gold again using the Star of Light Stamp set Oh and the music ...
