Hi There Creators, Well somewhere I saw someone had done Faux Tiling, and it kind of fascinated me, so I've been experimenting...... to begin with I wasn't impressed with the results and eventually I realised that it's because I like to see the grouting looking white, or at least, contrasting with the "tiles", so I discovered that if I added extra colour to the background it worked for me 😃  enter, Watercolour shapes stamp set , perfect to give a smidgen of colour! Here are the 2 cards I completed before the video to show off the technique, I used the large rectangle watercolour shape for these. The top card uses Edens Garden , Jar of Flowers , and Charming Sentiments Stamp sets and the bottom card uses the Charming Sentiments , and Painted Poppies Stamp sets (along with the Watercolour Shapes) Then I also made this one, which I'm not so keen on, I used the circle watercolour shape for the background on this one, and moved onto Good Feelings Stamp set, an

  Hi there Creators, Continuing on our Pastels journey, I have "night sky" pastels to show you this week, I was amazed at how well the pastels show up on dark cardstock. Here are the cards I made up.... this first one I made up with a black background, and really wanted it to be looking out of a window (this is when I wish I had Window Flower Box dies )  however I used the exceedingly useful Stitched Rectangle dies instead😃, as I wanted it to look like the inside of a shed I've "hung" a few tools off the window sill (courtesy of the Home & Garden bundle ) and used the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder for the wall. then this is the card I made up in the video (couple of photos as I couldn't make up my mind which was better 🤣), Here is the link to the products I used in this one: What Heather Used So, down to the nitty gritty, how do you do this? Take a dark coloured cardstock (I used Night of Navy in the video), then lightly grate pastels onto

Hi there Creators, If you order my ClassCards@Home kit this month you'll be receiving these cards to create at home, for each of these, you'll need to use your own Stamps, Inks and Glues but I'll be providing all the papers pre-cut along with instructions and videos.  Click on the link below by Friday 1st May to order and pay for your kit, I will get the kits all organised over that weekend and mail them out on Monday 4th. With Mothers day on the horizon, I thought this might be suitable with a appropriate saying, you'll be choosing a colour and saying that you have at home.  This card uses the beautiful Tasteful background dies , and the really pretty Woven Threads Sequin Assortment .  Oh and also the Stitched rectangle dies .  I've called this card "Tasteful Things" Card #2 could also be used as a Mothers Day card if you wanted to, this one uses the Tropical thinlits , and I did discover that the Label Me Fancy Punch does sit nicely on top

Hello all you lovely Creators! Sorry I haven't been around much, this is what holidays do lol.  Coming up this Saturday is my Christmas in July Mega Class, I have 10 coming to it, and it should be so much fun I'm really looking forward to it, we're making 20 Christmas cards. I'll show you a little snippet...  Anyway that's not what I'm here for today, I'm here to show you how to put together your "tag" card, the tag is what I send you/ give you on your bag when you receive your order, then I pop in some other bits to make it into a card. So..... here is the tag you'll be receiving: And here is the end card The tag is cut out of the card to begin with, and the Stitched Rectangle Dies are fabulous in that they give you the stitched look on the outside and the inside (gotta love that) and there's heaps of them in the pack - well 13 seems like heaps! lol Anyway moving on... I have then stuck in another sheet of white behind the

Hi there Creators, Well almost at the end of March, and so here are the cards I'll be teaching in April.  The class dates are Wednesday 3rd 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 4th at 10.30am and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie, then Saturday 6th at 10am in Maryborough.  Do let me know if you plan to come to one of the classes (and haven't done so already). Best start showing you the cards!  This first one uses the stunning Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder , which is currently a Sale-a-Bration item till the end of March, so spend $90 and you can choose it for FREE! (you can't purchase this one at the moment).  I've also used the Label Me Pretty Stamp set with Matching Pretty Label Punch , and the lovely chunky ribbon is Gray Granite Textured Weave Ribbon .   Card #2, I thought we hadn't used the Stampin' Blends for a while (don't forget if you're using the Blends they are alcohol markers so you need to use memento ink for your ba

Hi There Creators, thought I'd drop in and show you a few things I've been creating recently. After the class I had a few horse cards unfinished so one of them got turned into this, using some of  of the other stamps in the Let It Ride stamp set , to do this I've ended up cutting out more stencils, 2 for the single horse and one for the 2 background horses, so that I could stamp the trees into the background  I think it's kind of cool having the 2 galloping away in the foreground, what do you think?    There is a second wave of Sale-a-bration products available from tomorrow 15th Feb, and this card that I have made up as my "tag" card for the month uses some of them.  I've used the Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions embossing folder, which is so pretty!  I've used Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive daubers to lightly daub over the raised pattern. For those of you receiving it I've left it white for you to add
