 Hi There Creators Before I forget, there is an AMAZING special on this month, not only are the new catalogue (and new Online Products) live, but there is a joining special, pick out $303 of goodies but only pay $169!!  Ask me if you're interested and want to know more, or if you know you want to take the plunge, click here: Join Heather's Team. Today I thought I'd play around with a spot of bleach stamping, then decided to throw white into the mix too, it's interesting what a difference it makes, I like both!  Bleach is fascinating when it reacts with different cardstocks (interestingly didn't work on our black cardstock at all!)  I used Pecan Pie card . To create these cards I also needed:  Stazon Black Ink Pad     white Craft Ink   You are Remarkable Stamp set    And bleach (in my case domestos 🤣)  Oh and a pointy paintbrush First up you stamp using Stazon (because it stays on! - in particular with bleach and waterbased compone...

Different Shaped cards

Image
 Hi there Creators, well I set my team a challenge to come up with "different shaped cards" as in not the usual rectangle or square shape, and I thought maybe I should lead by example lol. I was trying to work out what to teach the kids at school for Christmas this year, and then got a fabulous swap in the mail of a tripod tree, which I used to make many years ago, - perfect! So here is the first card/tripod tree, which I'll be teaching the kids at Tarnagulla Primary School: it has velcro at the back to stick it together so that it can fold down, and you can write on the inside. Next I turned to my dies, and thought it would be cool to create a couple of little cards that use the dies as the shape, so first up is this using the Sunflower dies which are today have a 10% discount - yay! As you can see I've cut the large die out from folded card, but left a part at the fold that is uncut, then I've added the intricate cut flower on top.  It does make quite a small c...

Celebrate Sunflowers bundle

Hi there! I've had a bit of an opportunity to play with some of my new bits, so thought I'd show you what I've been making up with my new Celebrate Sunflowers bundle (stamps and dies)  It's actually pretty cool the way the stamp lines up with the cut die image, so that's what I've gone with in this first card, and I really like the 2 branch/frond things.  Oh not forgetting the fact that there's new colours in this!  Bumblebee , and Just Jade .  If you can see the difference in the yellows, the flower itself is Bumblebee, and the centre of the flower is Crushed Curry .  I think the Crushed Curry is a little brighter than the Bumblebee.  also owing to the fact I don't have the ink pads yet, I've gone with Shaded Spruce for the ink colour, which really blends beautifully with the Just Jade.  this next card uses the new Magenta Madness cardstock (plus the Bumblebee, Just Jade and Shaded Spruce) I've used the Sunflower dies to cut out the ...
