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

Something Saturday Windmill Fields dies

 Hi there Creators well as I mentioned last week I thought I'd have a go with the dies this week!  I love the way you can get the windmill vanes to spin - took a little bit of playing with but I got there in the end. Here is the finished article... How cool eh? I'm also quite partial to the cute little bike lol.  as the windmill vanes are quite delicate, I've doubled up the cardstock layer for it, and also strengthened the middle with some window sheeting. As I picked Balmy Blue card for the base, it meant I could add fluffy white clouds on top, using the cloud dies as stencils and using the White Craft Ink, then using some scrap paper to create a line I've added granny apple green below for some grass. To see what I've used, click this link:  What Heather Used And here is the video:  I hope this inspires you to create God Bless love Heather xox

Something Saturday - Tulip Fields

 Hi there Creators, well finally the Tulip Fields came off the ship and into stock.... and then out to me! Today in my video I showed the Tulip Fields Bundle, and then only used the stamp set to create a quick and easy card.  However I did figure I could use the dies next Saturday, so come back again to find out what I do with the dies! However today's video, in one of our Stampin' Up! events one of the demos used this set, and showed us how to line up the perspective Tulip fields Here is the card I created: I have to admit if I was making again, I think I'd stamp the windmill first, as I stamped it after the tulips and it kind of "floated" above them, hence the line of blue border flowers! Anyway lining up the triangles is quite easy, stamp the long double one first, to create the "horizon", then the middle one, then 2 more either side - lets face it how many times do you see flowers really precise?, so I reckon we can get away with it being "close
