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
