Hi there Creators Today I thought after last week (and the promise in my blog I'd show you how to create the background to the card) that I'd better show you how I created the background to the butterfly card with the bluey/green background. So here goes.... this is the card all finished that I started in the video, figured as I'm on a roll with baby cards for church I'd go for another one 🤣  I've used the Cheerful Daisies Stamp set for the background of the base card and the 3 little flowers in the corner, The colours I used for the watercolouring are Melon Mambo and Gorgeous Grape , Oh and Charming Sentiments Stamp set for the sayings Then I also went on to make this card, which uses Azure Afternoon and Sweet Sorbet for the watercolouring bit, then words from Filled with Happiness stamp set , Trucking Along Stamp se t and Circle sayings stamps for the flowers. So to create this effect all you do is take an E Block , then ink up 1/2 with one colour, the ot...

 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...

 Hi there Creators,  well today is an original design by me, I've called it "Corner Fold Pop Out Card".  Last weekend was our big Multi-team weekend Creative Connections event, and I was doing a presentation on the Bright & Beautiful suite , and taught this card at the end. In our video today I've used the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper which is the same one I was using in my Something Saturday card last week.  I love that is has a Vanilla Base colour rather than white - gives my white cardstock a bit of a rest! 😁  Anyway let's show you the photos then instructions after.... So this is the card I taught at the Creative Connections event:   One of my friends suggested I should decorate the front of the card, so the one I did in the video now has this on the front of it:  Then when you open it up, the daisies pop out, I felt this paper went well with the Cheerful Daisies Dies, so I've used the dies to die cut direct from the Designer Paper ...

 Hi there Creators today I'm showing how to make a card I'm calling a double window shutter card, as I'm not sure where I saw it (if I did I may have just dreampt it up!, or what it was called if I did see it somewhere and it had a name!) Anyway I doubt very much mine would be the same as anyone else's (I'm like that!) So here's my original one I created, I've used the Sea Turtles stamp set to make this one: this time I decided to use the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper, I love that it has a vanilla background to it and gives my white cardstock a rest! I've added the Cheerful Daisies Dies , and used the Distressed Gold Specialty paper for the inside pieces of the flowers, I've deliberately left the other side without stamping, as I'm not quite sure who I'm giving it to yet! If you missed the video here it is: I hope this inspires you to have a go too! God Bless love Heather xox  

 Hi there Creators Today I thought we'd delve into Faux Silk using the tissue paper that has sat on my desk for quite some time now.  If you're a regular viewer/reader you might recall a few weeks ago my UFO video where I used up a (sadly smaller than I'd hoped) portion of my unfinished objects from my crafting desk, and amidst the scraps was a piece of tissue paper that came from a pack of window sheeting, which I mentioned at the time I'd kept for this very purpose, finally I have used it! so.... here are the projects I made up with it: Here is the one I made up in the video, check out what I used in this card here: What Heather Used and this one I made up after, as a card to send off to my Mum  this one I've added some gilded leafing to and also a spot of heat embossing in gold around the label, check out what I used for this card here: What Heather Used , I have used the new Cheerful Daisies bundle  (such a great bundle)     thought I'd better show a cl...

 Hi there Creators It's that time again, where I show off next months class cards.  The class dates are Wednesday 3rd May 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 4th at 7pm in Laanecoorie, then Saturday 6th at 10.30am in Maryborough.  New Catalogues should be with everyone by now, if you don't have one and want one, get in touch! Just a heads up that this month will still be $20 for the 4 cards, however due to rising costs I do need to increase my prices, and I'll be increasing by $1 per card - so $24 for the 4 cards.  Here goes..... First up I've used the new Zoo Crew (that will be available from 2nd May) to create this cute card Then after showing a friend how to use these Give it a Whirl Dies the other day I figured we should do this in class too (they're so much fun!)  I've teamed it up with Alphabest and Waves of Inspiration so the wheel says U R Totally Awesome, as it goes round Back to new stuff again, and this time the gorgeous Cheerful Daisies Stamp set (it...
