Something Saturday - Take a Bow

Image
 Hi There Creators So, today I thought I'd have a play around with the " Take a Bow Bundle " I thought it looked kind of cool for one of those inticate bow things you add to the top of the presy, but wait there's more......🤣 The first bow I make up in the video is this one: then I make up a different sort of bow, and ended up after the video making another one, so I could create this card, I've used the More Wishes Stamp set continued from last Christmas And lastly just using the pieces flat on a card, the same stamp set again, but this time heat embossed with the copper powder, and using the Graceful Greenery Vellum to stamp onto, so the pattern underneath still shows through And that's all I had time for in this creating session, If you missed the video, here it is I hope it inspires you to create. God Bless love Heather xox

If you're interested in coming along, make sure you book your spot: Tuesday 3rd at 1.30pm, Thursday 5th at 7pm (both in Laanecoorie) and Saturday 8th at 10.30am in Maryborough.  Cost of $24 for the 4 cards. Here is the line-up...... first up using the Simply Sparkling Bundle (although not specifically using the dies in this one)  it's a nice light and friendly birthday card.   Next up, Friends for Life Bundle is used for this pretty card, love how delicate the heart die cuts are. Ooo Card #3 uses new goodies! which ironically won't be available to purchase till 6th! (I'm not sure the links will work till then either) however it uses Peaceful Season Bundle (although again I'm not using the specific dies from it) and Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder , also a new ribbon: Shaded Spruce Satin & sheer ribbon , and the lovely Spot

Something Saturday - Full of Life

Image
Hi There Creators, Today I thought we'd check out the Full of Life Suite more specifically the Friends for Life Bundle .  Oh before I forget there is a Designer Series Paper sale on this month, check out out here: DSP Sale So here are the cards I created, this first one I do in the video, I didn't end up adding anything else to it!  I used the Graceful Greenery Vellum for the window under the heart, such pretty vellum! (in case you don't know the blue underlined bits are links for you to check out the products! 😁 then I went nice & simple with silver and white, and I've left the window without anything in it. Then thought I'd create a wedding card (now I need someone to get engaged or married!🤣)   And lastly figured I should use up the friend cut out from the first card, I had deliberately cut it from the middle of my piece of Garden green If you missed the video here it is: I hope this inspires you to create God Bless love Heather xox

Something Saturday - Changing Leaves Bundle

Image
 Hi There Creators, Today we're checking out the Changing Leaves Online Bundle , it's a really nice bundle for males & females, let's face it leaves are pretty generic!  I love that you can stamp, then cut & emboss together. Here's what I created in the video, I had a sheet of A4 cut in 1/2, then cut down to 6",  which I ran through the embossing folder. Then quartered this sheet to create the 4 cards Then I also showed how to line up the stamps (ideally using the die), in order to cut & emboss them. Here is the card I made using the stamped, embossed, die cut leaves: Then the remainder of the embossed card I used my brayer and added colour to the raised sections, to create these cards: Also using some of the Old Olive Glimmer Paper (which is part of a pack of 3 colours) and the Labelled with Love Punch .   If you missed the video here it is:   I hope this inspires you to craft at home too 😍 God Bless love Heather xox

Something Saturday - Frames & Flowers Specialty DSP

Image
 Hi There Creators Today I thought we'd check out this gorgeous Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper , Wow it's so pretty!  I've also paired up the cards below with sayings from the stamp sets:  A Million Thanks Kit , Colourful Kaleidoscope (which may have retired as I can't find it in the store, oops!)  Irresistible Blooms , Latte Love , and Layers of Beauty . I've used Notecards & Envelopes (which are very handy to use as they're pre-cut and scored 😍) plus some normal white cards that I've cut & scored. I've also used (let's get all the links out the way....)  Blooming Pearls (gotta have bling💎) And lastly ribbon, the iridescent ribbon I have isn't current anymore, but I did discover there's this rather lovely Iridescent 1/2" striped ribbon (must buy some!) and I also used Silver & White Sheer Ribbon . So onwards to the photos! 15 cards later..... And here are the pieces I still have left over to cr

Something Saturday - Your Day to Shine Kit

Image
 Hi There Creators Today we're onto the last of the 3 kits I bought a while back, this one is Your Day to Shine card Kit .  Again it's a pretty one, no stamp set this time hence it's cheaper at only $25, but you still get to make 9 cards with it! which at $2.78 per card is still cheaper for a decent card than what you'd buy in a shop! Plus you have the Crafting fix time and you're able to say "yes, I made this"😍 So here are the 3 styles of card it officially creates, although I have changed a few elements around, so if you do want to see the proper "official" way click on the link above 🤣 this first card is a mini card (with matching envelope) once again beautiful bling with these cards!  This card is pretty much true to their suggestion This next card got turned around a bit as I wasn't terribly happy with their design, I didn't think the butterfly stood out so well on their card (I could be wrong - seems unlikely but you never know...

Something Saturday - Simply Sparkling

Image
  Hi there Creators, Today I was playing around with this new set I received, and then couldn't resist sharing it with you too. Oh My Goodness, wow this "Simply Sparkling" is such a great bundle, I have a feeling I'll be using it a fair bit in the future! It's an "online exclusive", which simply means it's not in the catalogue, but it is in the "online catalogue" as it were. Anyway onto the creations..... This bubbles die is the main reason I was so attracted to this set, and these are the 2 mini cards I made in the video:  How cool is this die?! (so exciting) I have to admit the little half orange segment looked so much like a mini pizza when I first cut it out...... something to try....... I was trying to work out what the little heart shaped piece is meant to be, and have now worked out it's meant to be a peach - Ah ha light bulb moment! 🤣  (also works well as a heart!)  The dies are absolutely fabulous! Anyway I also had to play wi

Class Cards for August

Image
 Hi there Creators Here are the cards we'll be creating at my classes in August.  Class Dates are: Tuesday 6th at 2pm (it's been a bit all over the place the start time, so we'll try 2pm this time 🤣)  Then Thursday 8th at 7pm (both these are at my classroom in Laanecoorie), then Saturday 10th at 10.30am at the Wattle City Church in Maryborough (Argyle Road) Card 1 uses Latte Love Bundle , I did eventually succumb to buying it🤣 figured at some point coffee/tea would come in handy. Then next up is the Citrus Blossoms bundle and matching , cool thing with the dies is they match the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Paper 😃 Next onto a set that I really loved when I first saw the catalogue called You are Beautiful.   The sayings are lovely I'm planning at some point to mix and match some of the words in the sayings to create "You are Amazing" And another set I succumbed to is the Adventurous Sky bundle , although I haven't used the dies in this card, I totally
