Being CreateAble with Heather

  Hi there Creators, Well I figured as I have them all (after going in a Paper S hare with 3 of my team members) I should show you ALL the Designer Series Papers and Specialty Papers from the upcoming Sept to Jan Catalogue plus the new Online exclusives. As I mention in the video, I figure if I have 4 people interested then I'm happy to do up "Share Packs", makes the cost a little easier for each person, you end up with a quarter pack of each of the papers, which makes it more manageable to use up.  PLUS you then get to see each one and determine if you think it's worth ordering more of them! (Win, Win in my book!)  So let me know if you are interested in one or more of these packs, and we'll see what I can organise!😜 I have made up 3 packs let me know before 9th September if you are interested in any of them. (you will want to watch the video to see them all) Pack 1: Normal Designer Series Papers Christmas Themed there are 7 different packs, the pack cost is $4...

 Hi There Creators, Yep it's Paper Pumpkin time of the month again😍  I absolutely love the challenge of what I can create each month with my new PP, and that you don't quite know what you're getting each time is a fun factor! Here is the link to subscribe: Paper Pumpkin  Make sure you subscribe before 10th September as you'll miss out on the next one otherwise (looks pretty versatile!) here's the sneak peek: Anyway onto what I created with this months one, officially it creates 9 cards, but of course I'm never content with only 9!🤣  My aim is to use up the kit as best I can, plus not add too much more, so in this case I've added a couple of extra colours (which if you've been getting PP since it came to Australia, you'll have both of these colours!) Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon.  I've also used blending brushes (very handy!) a couple of different glues ( tombow -Multipurpose liquid glue , and mini glue dots ), and a couple of white base cards...

  Hi There Creators Well that's it, the long awaited Go Tropical  🦩🍹🌴August CreateAlong is now Live!  What's a CreateAlong?  It's where you order yourself a pack then on the designated day CreateAlong with me (that's the theory)  Actually with my CreateAlongs, you can join in any time after it goes "live" as my videos are pre-recorded, which means you can stop & start it at any time 😃 You also get emailed the specific instructions, with measurements so you can recreate the cards if you choose to.  However if you would like to purchase just the instructions for it, check out my Tutorials Library on this blog. Here is the photo "conglomerate".  I needed to create something that made me feel warmer in our winter 🤣 - although in fact the new foiling machine does give me warm & fuzzies (in particular the heat coming from the pad! lol)    Click the photo for the goodies I used list. Here are both of the videos: Part 1: (1st 3 cards) P...

 Hi There Creators 1/2 way through August and I'm organised for September classes - Woah!🤣   These classes are: 1pm Laanecoorie on Friday 4th September, and 10.30am in Maryborough on Saturday 5th September.  If you've never joined in one of my classes and are wondering what it's like, I did video some of my last class, you can find it here: Heather's Class 8th August . Anyway onto the cards we'll be creating in September: First up this cool fancy fold card using the silver hot foils (cold)🤣 - might look a bit familiar if you watch my videos!  The fabulous Gears & Textures Bundle and the Banner Sayings Bundle, click the photo for the full range of what I used, (you can also purchase from that page if you want to) Next up using some new, some old, the squares are really cool, like the Spotlight on Nature Dies,  that I use so frequently, these have the same edging, click on the photo to see all the "ingredients" although the newbie might not show till t...

Hi there Creators After last week of using the "hot" foil - cold I've kind of continued the streak, I feel like I can't get enough of the foil, and I'm so in love with the card I created this week (you all know I can't resist Bling anyway......) Oh and, absolutely no relevance to this Something Saturday, but there is a Paper Sale on currently so if you had your eye on any of the Gorgeous Designer Series papers/ need any A4 Cardstock colours or 2 Tone Cardstock, check the sale out here  Paper Sale  it's on till the end of the month. - Make sure you sign up for my emails to get the latest updates! So without further ado, here is the card, sadly photo's really don't do it justice I have started off with a piece of thick white A4 card, cut this lengthways at 10.5cm, then scored 2, 4, 6, & 8cm in on each end.  I've then used the Gears & Textures Bundle to stamp the 3 sections that show once they're folded round to form the pillars a...

 Hi There Creators Yep we're back on the "hot foil" only we're using it cold this time🤣  I happen to know that the Stampin' Up! hot foil machines were so popular here in Australia that they didn't last long when they got released, so we're waiting on a new shipment (around September time), however in the meantime the foils themselves and some of the dies etc are still available, so..... I figured while you wait you might want to start ordering the bits, so you don't have such a huge outlay in one hit (plus you can still use them in interesting ways). Equally if you are thinking of getting the hot foil machine, I can totally recommend joining my team (check it out here) because the machine is $280, (currently includes a $53 class in the price), and if you join which is $175, you get a voucher for $240, so potentially the outlay is the $175 plus $40 = $215 and not $280!  Yay think I finally got the maths right (didn't do so well in the video!) PLUS ...
