Cards for June

Hi there!

Wow yes, I know, I'm ultra organised for June!!
And who would have guessed that I'd be using new stuff?  I really don't know which one to start with, can't pick a favourite this month, so let me know which is yours!
Sooo, first off we have this Abstract Impressions Stamp set to create this card, I love poppies, so when I saw this stamp set, I just had to create some poppies with it.

Card #2 uses the dies that bundle together with the above stamp set! Springtime Impressions Thinlit dies, there is another die in the bundle, a lovely butterfly, but how pretty is this large die cut?  and I think the sentiment will be one I use a lot!  This card just uses the new 2018-2020 In colours, they are so lovely and vibrant!

Card #3, Oh my goodness the embossing die is sooooo pretty!  This is from Garden Scene framelits, with the matching Serene Garden Stamp set (that the bird is from) and I've used the Ribbon of Courage Stamp set for the saying and small heart.  I've used the sponge brayer to create the 3 tone background

And last but not least card #4 uses one of the new Host sets Hand Delivered, if you would like to be able to get this stamp set you'll need to either: 1; host a party, I will come to your place and teach you and your friends how to make a couple of creations, then once orders are gathered up you will be able to pick some free stuff 😊, 2; join my Craft@Home group, or 3; place an order with me for $250 or over, and you can pick this as part of your free goodies.

The dates I will be teaching these cards are: Saturday 2nd June at 10am in Maryborough, and Wednesday 13th at 10.30am and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie, Do let me know if you'd like to come along to any of the classes.  The fee for the class is $15 this includes envelopes and instructions.

Don't forget the new Annual Catalogue will be available online from 1st June (yay!)  If you are placing an order do use the "open hostess code" for your chance to win the free goodies  9G4HM46V  this code will go through till around 10th June.

I hope this inspires you to create!

Heather's Bundle of the Month

Hi there
Well I've decided to try something new, as bundles don't continue on from one catalogue to the next with the 10% discount (they separate out and you pay the full amount for both).

So I thought I could highlight some of the bundles and do a special deal, when you purchase the bundle from me, I will mail you instructions and cardstock, including pre-cut peices from other dies or punches to create 4 beautiful cards, for Free 😊 That'll get you creating with your new Stamp set and dies and hopefully give you inspiration to keep going!  

This Offer will go for the month of April, if you aren't part of my Craft@Home group, please use this host code when you do your order, and you'll go into the draw to win the Host free benefits! SBN2669E Click on the picture to go to the Clear mount bundle in my Online Store

Should you purchase elsewhere, but still want a kit, the price for a kit is $15 + $2 postage, or instructions emailed to you for $5

 If you are part of my level 1 team you will receive the instructions to create these, as one of my perks for my CreateAbles Level 1's, (do ask me for more details about joining my team, the CreateAbles and getting a regular discount on your Stampin' Up! goodies.

Do contact me if you have any questions, I hope this inspires you to create!

Made it Monday on Tuesday!

Hi there

Over on the Eureka Stampers Facebook Page, which I'm part of we have something called "Made it Monday".  However as yesterday was a public holiday, the kids were home, and I was unpacking the car back into my craft room/class room, so nothing was made :(

So today in my list of things to do were to organise my "tag card" and the card that my Craft@Home ladies will be receiving to create, I thought I'd share them with you today.

The Tag Card for those of you who don't know, is a way of making the tag that comes on your bag (when your purchase from me), into a card, so here it is:

it uses the gorgeous Eastern Medallions Thinlits to create the beautiful cut out in the card, then the tag itself uses the Ribbon of Courage Stamp set, and Support Ribbon Framelits, along with the Tailored Tag Punch, and the Sale-a-Bration Shimmer ribbon pack (the ribbon may vary from card to card) You can choose to have these ribbons for free when you place an order of  $90 before the end of March.  I 've coloured my heart in using the Stampin' Blends, but I have left them uncoloured for you to decide on your own colours :)

And the other card I wanted to share with you today is the one my Craft@Home group will be getting to create, I do have a space in the group if anyone is interested!

This card uses the new Sale-a-Bration Basket Weave Embossing Folder (the embossing folder will be available in the next Annual Catalogue, but currently you can choose to have it and the coordinating stamp set when you purchase $180 of products available till the end of March)  This also uses the Ribbon of Courage Stamp set, and Support Ribbon Framelits.(although I can't stamp it for them, so my Craft@Home'rs will be using their own stamps for the saying)  Oh and the Duet Banner Punch!

Well I hope these cards inspire you to create, and if you'd like to find out more about my Craft@Home group let me know!

God Bless love

What has Heather been playing with?

Hi Everyone,
I thought I'd show you what I've been playing with today.
One of my "jobs" for today was to create a card that is quick & easy to duplicate to go in some special boxes.  The guys and girls at Biker Charity Support Group (BCSG) of which Tom and I are members, decided to fund raise to purchase a "Cuddle Cot" for one of the local hospitals, we managed to raise the $5300 for the cot itself and also raised enough for 6 memory boxes on top.  I thought it would be an idea to add some cards into the memory boxes, as I remember one of my friends when she lost her son, needed to write some cards to people to thank them for their support.  This was my first draft:

there are boxes for boys and ones for girls hence the different colours, Oh I should probably also explain that we have had fundraising pins produced for the cause, this is what they look like 1/2 blue 1/2 pink

Anyway I wasn't 100% convinced on this card, so back to the craft room and came up with this one, which I'm happier with and the members have voted they prefer too

I have used the new Ribbon of Courage stamp set with matching Support Ribbon Framelit dies and Yea they come as a Bundle! 
So having worked that out I thought I should also see what else I could come up with 😊  Thinking ahead to Craft Alive next weekend, and the Make'n'take that we offer on our stand, I came up with this little bookmark:

Oh my goodness I do love this set!!  Oh and this also uses one of the new punches Circle Tab Punch, me think's you'll be seeing more of this on my blog.......lol  in fact in the next card ha ha....

might look a bit similar, however I figured that the bookmark should be shown on a card too!  plus another new punch that I bought Decorative Ribbon Border Punch (Oh I just love new catalogue time!)  Anyway in case you didn't notice the punch creates the pretty textured ribbon down the side of the card.
And my last offering for today I figured the ribbon doesn't just have to be a ribbon (plus I saw someone else had done this at one of the Stampin' Up! OnStage presentations)

Da da.... yes it can also be a vase! (the flowers and leaves are in with the framelits, and I've just coloured them in with Stampin' write markers.)

So there you go now you know what I have been playing with lol!
I hope this inspires you to create
God Bless love
