Hi There Creators, Today I thought I'd show off this new kit I brought the other day, oooo it has gold foiling in it, ummmm💖😍 Christmas Wishes Kit , it contains a stamp set, mini ink pad and stampin' block as well as the cardstock to create 8 cards, although, having said 8 truly if you are economical and prepared to do a spot of cutting and adding more cardstock, then you can double it, as the base cards are the same pattern on each side (woo hoo!) The official 2 cards it makes are these 2: the one saying Merry, Merry, Christmas was actually meant to have 3 "Merry"s on it but in my typical way I changed it 😃 I did discover that inside the cards is this rather lovely gold square frame with leaf, which I thought would look lovely on the front of a card (plus it takes opening up the card before you start to make sure it's on the correct side and the right way up - and I didn't 🤣)  So this card came into being, using some of bits I cut off the edges to create ...

 Hi There Creators Well we're getting closer to November so thought I'd better share the cards we'll be creating at classes on Tues 5th 1.30pm in Laanecoorie, Thursday 7th 7pm Laanecoorie and Saturday 9th 10.30am Maryborough😃 In the class you'll create all 4 cards for $24 (and have a fabulous social time!) So, here goes, as it's November we're up to 3 Christmas Cards. This is the only Non-Christmassy one, Oh my goodness how gorgeous is this paper?! This is the Regal Winter Designer Series Paper , which goes so beautifully with this Blackberry Bliss & Gold Ribbon , and the Spotlight on Nature Dies , which are possibly the most useful dies I have Now we're onto a clear run of Christmas Cards.  I love this look, where it looks like you're looking up in the middle of a forest, I've used a stamp from the fabulous Christmas Wishes Kit, for the saying and the trees are from Peaceful Evergreens . Next up is this rather cute tree from the Decorative Tre...

 Hi There Creators I saw this really cool card on a Facebook reel, it was done so quickly, that when I came to try it it took me an awful lot of rewinds to get it right 🤣  So I figured I could do it a little slower to show you all how to make it too.  Here are the photos of the cards I created: The first card I used the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper , so pretty! Then the card I made in the video uses Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper with Pebbled Path Cardstock, I think it looks really elegant!  I ended up making it into a sympathy card, as my Step Dad passed away, so I needed a lovely card to send to my Mum (hope she likes it!)  I love the way the bird freeze goes through the panels of the card. And now for the measurements..... the way I made it in my video: (this is the metric version I worked out) You will need a base card (A5) scored in 1/2 at 10.5cm, then trim 5cm off one side (so you only have a 1/2 flap at the front) Next you need the "mec...

 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

 Hi There Creators, In my video today I thought after seeing all the Designer Papers last week in my video, I should start playing with some!  So, today I'm playing with the Snowy Scenes Paper Funnily enough I possibly wouldn't have picked this paper out to purchase, but, because I organized a Paper share I put myself in it and ended up with a partial pack of each of the papers too (which is really cool!)  Just a heads up that I'm hoping to remember to do this for each catalogue that comes out! Anyway moving onto the cards I created with it.... This is the one I created in the video, the Pool Party Pom Pom ribbon , I've used one of the alcohol Stampin' Blends to colour it dark green, then cut the ribbon in 1/2 lengthways to pop under the edges of it, then I've used a couple of the cute Adhesive Backed Peppermints , Oh and the Sweetest Star bundle  The other 1/2 of the line of designer paper I used for this card, heat embossing the saying onto the Poppy Parade ca...
