Something Saturday - Inchie equivalent card for those with an A4 Brain!

Image
Hi there Creators, Well today I thought I'd have a go at an "inchie" card, only mine (unsurprisingly for me) aren't inchies! The idea behind it is that you have inch squares, which get attached to a background paper (which has been scored up before hand so you have lines to attach your inchies to, and embossed with an embossing folder, which then deletes the score lines. However, as you have to cut your base card down to create an inchie card, I decided to do things "my way" hence "equivalent for an A4 brain" Here are the 2 Inchie cards I received the first one from Simone my up-line as a swap at the Stampin' Up!event. She's used the beautiful vibrant Flowering Zinnias designer series paper and the second from Lee-Allan one of my down-line (which uses some paper that now I need to buy 🤣) check it out for yourself:  Natures Sweetness Designer Series Paper then I got onto creating one - my size using retired Designer Papers (you can never

Hi There, Oh my goodness we're almost in March!  So here are the cards I'll be teaching in my 4 card classes first one is on this coming Saturday, in Maryborough at 10am, then the other 2 classes are on the 14th, at 10.30am and 7.30pm in my Classroom in Laanecoorie. Do let me know if you plan to come :) Ok first card off the rank!  I've decided to use a doily (trust me this is really rare lol)  and also the ultra cool Brusho powders (so much fun)  I made up 2 just to make sure I could do it (and because it was fun, and it shows other colours......)  Also used the Perennial Birthday stamp set .

Hi There, Well Picture to Page show in Kangaroo Flat is fast approaching on the weekend 10th March from 9am till 4pm and 11th March 10am till 4pm. Rosalie and I will be there on the Saturday to be joined by Cindy on the Sunday. Thought I'd share with you the classes we'll be teaching: As there will be limited space at the classes we run at the show, and a few of you have been interested in the cards I'm teaching on Saturday, I'll be repeating that as a class on 20th March instead of the Interactive Cards class, so there'll be one at 10.30am and one at 7.30pm.  Let me know if you'd like to book in for the one's I'm holding here.  Bookings for the Picture to Page show will be taken at the show. I hope you can make it to the Picture to Page Show, as it promises to be a great time, it's held at the Kangaroo Flat Primary School Stadium, (Olympic Parade) I hope these inspire you to create! God Bless love Heather xox

First up is this special thank you card for you, it uses the amazing Heartfelt Blooms Sale-a-Bration set, you can get this set for FREE! when you purchase $90 of goodies, it's available till the end of March. This stamp is amazing! it's called a Distinktive(R) stamp, and this new design of stamp lays down ink at different opacities giving the finished image that amazing depth.   Here is the "tag" card that you'll also receive to create, use the tag from your bag, I've used the cute Flying Home stamp set, colour it in, add the 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper together (I've used Tutti Fruitty ),  Add them across the middle of your card base, add a dotted line along the top and bottom edge, and then adhere your tag to your card (I used dimensionals

Colour INKspiration Challenge #26

Image
Hi there, I decided to join in with the Colour Inkspiration challenge for this fortnight, as I love these colours they remind me of a peacock :) So, this is the challenge, to use the below colours: And here is my creation for the challenge: I have used all the colours in the cardstock I have in the card, but the background is made from the Iridescent Glimmer paper in the Myths and Magic Glimmer Paper pack , then I've spritzed it with water, and sprinkled over the new Brusho Crystal Colour , and added more spritzed water. Then allowed it to dry (eventually got fed up with the waiting, blotted it and dried it with the first setting on my heat tool lol)  I just LOVE the background effects you can get with the Brusho!  For this particular one, I used the Moss Green, Prussian Blue and Yellow.  The Word and flower are cut out using the Sunshine Wishes Thinlit dies . Hopefully it works for the challenge! what do you think? I hope this inspires you to create. God Bless l

I thought wey hey I can do a blog post on this lol! Here is my version of the X Box controller as a card: I have used a combination of circle punches 1", 1/2", 3/4"   (and other punches such as the Cookie Cutter builder punch !) Here is the original controller that I copied from: And then I decided to get creative, as Ben said, well they do come with patterns on them too Mum: Break out the Sale-a-Bration set Epic Celebration - if you purchase $90 of goodies you could get this set for free! :)  He picked the creative one!
