Something Saturday - Click Clack Concertina Card

-
Image
 Hi there Creators Well I was sitting last night wondering what to do for my Something Saturday, and playing around with a bit of paper, ended up designing this card, I've made similar cards before like the cascade cards, this is probably a bit more basic, but I'm happy with it and it's way simpler to create, but still packs a cool Woah factor🤣  I've used Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper which is on the last chance list. I decided it needed a sentiment so picked out this one from Sweetest Star Stamp set (last chance list again), because it has 6 words (1 for each panel!😃) and these Adhesive backed Snowflake Assortment are also on the last chance list and happen to be reduced to 1/2 price (woo hoo!) Ok, onto measurements.... You'll need a sheet of A4 for the base card, score it at 9.9cm either end, then cut in 1/2 at 10.5cm, fold so each piece is concertina'd into 1/3rd's then each folded piece needs a cut that goes 1/2 way up the card (in the...

-
Image
 Hi there Creators Gee Whizz haven't the months flown by!  Not long till Christmas again (I love making Christmas Cards!) Anyway Novembers cards are sparkly and 2 of them Christmassy 😃 I'll start with them.....   See the links below each card for the individual products (codes and prices) I've used for each card and at the bottom I'll pop the times/day of classes:   I do love this angel from Angels of Peace Stamp Set, she feels really serene to me, I've paired her up with the lovely leaves die from Artistic Dies, and some of the stunning Expressions in Ink specialty Paper.  Not forgetting a bit of Wink of Stella for glittery wings😉   Check out this link to see what I used for this card: Peaceful Pieced Angel   This other Christmas Card Ive finally got around to using a couple of things I haven't used much, the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder and the Stars are Shining bundle, I've heat embossed round the edge and combined my gold and s...

Something Saturday - Packaging solutions

-
Image
 Hi there Creators, I don't know about you, but when I send off my Christmas Presies (mine go off to the UK and other far flung places)  I really love making them look gorgeous on the outside, hopefully they also like what's inside.  But who doesn't like looking at a pretty'ly wrapped pressie under their tree? or getting a beautiful looking present for their Birthday? Stampin' Up! have some small "cheat" ways of wrapping up smaller presies, just decorate the boxes or bags and voila.... I have stamped directly onto the Ombre Gift Bags, and the boxes I've used a combination of Designer Papers, Stamps, Dies and even an embossing folder directly onto the Acetate Card box. I do show them all in the video below, and you can check out Stampin' Up!'s Packaging solutions here: Packaging (Heather's Website) I hope these inspire you to get your Gift-Wrapping "on" 🤣  Let me know your favourite gift wrapping solutions. God Bless love Heather

Something Saturday - How to add veins of gold leaf to your stamped images

-
Image
 Hi there My Something Saturday this week is about how to add veins of the gorgeous Gold Gilded Leafing to your stamped work, I've used the beautiful Artistically Inked Stamp set, I think this is just soooooo gorgeous! (check the bottom for the link  to the products I've used) Here are my cards I created: this is the card I create in the video:  Isn't it gorgeous?  It's so easy, this stamp set Artistically Inked, is so forgiving to use, pick a few coordinating colours and stamp, you can stamp quite randomly, I like to try and cluster them together. then just use the fine end of the tombow (Multipurpose Liquid glue) to draw on glue where you want the gilded leafing to go, allow the glue to dry a little before dusting over with the Gilded leafing, and brush off the excess, I like to use a fairly firm sponge for this.  And voila gold veined stamped images, wooooooh 😍 And one last image for you.. (got a bit carried away!)  Link to the YouTube Video Click on th...

Which Stampin' Up! Glues for what?

-
Image
 HI there Creators Well this "Something Saturday" was on the variety of Stampin' Up! glues (aka Adhesives) on offer currently. first up on my list was Dimensionals, these are Sticky Up'y dots, little foam hexagons with adhesive on both sides, so you can create "dimension" with your work.  They come in White and black in 2 different sizes and there's heaps of them in a pack.  The white standard Dimensionals have 300 plus you can cut up the side bits so it probably gives you another 100 peices.  The white mini dimensionals have 720 mini dimensionals plus again all the bits round the sides.  Black dimensionals have both in the pack (2 sheets of each).   Next up is the Tear & Tape Adhesive , (basically double sided sticky tape that's stickier than your average double sided sticky tape and doesn't fall apart after 6 months!) when it goes on it's sort of translucent when it's on, it's fabulous for getting your ribbon straight, or just...

Do more with your Punches!

-
Image
 Hi there Creators Well I said the title out loud and my youngest son showed me a few creative punches, like this Mum, umm not quite the sort of punches I was thinking of lol!😀 Of course I'm talking about "papercraft punches", how to get the size to be bigger or smaller, handy to know when you have a saying that's longer than your punch, or when a small saying looks a little lost in the middle of your punch! So that's what my "Something Saturday" video was on this week, you can find it over on my Youtube "Being CreateAble with Heather" Channel or on my Facebook "Being CreateAble with Heather" Page However I have taken a few photos for you, and I'll try and explain.... (click on the links to view the punches). This first one shows the Delightful Tag Topper Punch , which has 3 widths, 2", 1 1/2", and 1", I love this for making my tags to go on bags or presies, you can do a larger one in colour, and pop a smaller one...

Image
  Hi there Creators, Oh wow have you seen this kit yet?  Mine has finally arrived so I've done a video on how to put it together, the cards are so pretty!  I think it would make an amazing gift for someone at only $37, you could either send it to them to create the cards, they only need a clear block for the stamp set included in the kit, or you could create the cards then send it on (if they're truly not into creating things)!  I also think it would be fabulous for anyone short on space or going on holiday... anyway let's show you the cards. So here are my finished cards: The kit gives you 3 of each of these cards to create, plus a gorgeous box you can use to gift onwards  I think my favourite is the yellow one, which is your fav? If you would like to check it out and order it click this link:  Expressions in Colour Paper Pumpkin Kit Check out the other kits available here: Kits Collection   there certainly are some gorgeous kits! I hope this inspires...
