Something Saturday - Citrus Blooms

Image
 Hi There Creators Today I thought it would be fun to try out a technique I haven't done in ages - Paper Tole, using the new Citrus Blooms stamp set and dies.  Every so often I come across a stamp set that inspires me to do a spot of Paper Tole'ing, and this one has lots of dimension to it perfect for this technique. To those of you who are saying "Paper Tole-what-ing?"  Paper Tole is a way of taking a picture and literally adding dimension by having several images of the same picture a and cutting out the various parts of it and laying them up, so the picture literally builds up and gives a 3D type image. I thought it would make a beautiful framed piece (and a nice gift for a friend) - let me know what you think.... I did team it up with the fabulous sayings from Unbounded Love Stamp set (the dies that go with this stamp set are a must have!)   Then to create shiny bits I've added some of the fine tip glue pen which dries shiny clear😍 I also said in the video I&

Hi there Creators, If you order my ClassCards@Home kit this month you'll be receiving these cards to create at home, for each of these, you'll need to use your own Stamps, Inks and Glues but I'll be providing all the papers pre-cut along with instructions and videos.  Click on the link below by Friday 1st May to order and pay for your kit, I will get the kits all organised over that weekend and mail them out on Monday 4th. With Mothers day on the horizon, I thought this might be suitable with a appropriate saying, you'll be choosing a colour and saying that you have at home.  This card uses the beautiful Tasteful background dies , and the really pretty Woven Threads Sequin Assortment .  Oh and also the Stitched rectangle dies .  I've called this card "Tasteful Things" Card #2 could also be used as a Mothers Day card if you wanted to, this one uses the Tropical thinlits , and I did discover that the Label Me Fancy Punch does sit nicely on top

How to stamp on your tags

Image
Hi Creators, I mentioned in one of the last videos that I should show you how to line up what you want to stamp on the pre-cut tags, so I've done another video for you!, it's just a short one.  It's kind of awkward sometimes getting the stamp exactly where you want it, I have used the Stamparatus to achieve this, if you don't have one trust me it's so worth the investment!  if you don't have one click on this link to check it out: Stamparatus And now for the video...... I hope it makes sense to you, if not let me know!, and if you want to see any other ways of using the stamparatus just let me know. Happy Creating God Bless love Heather xox

Hi there Creators, honestly where do the months go to?!  Well in March I have the usual 3 classes (back to normal schedule) Wednesday 4th 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 5th 7.30pm in Laanecoorie and Saturday 7th 10am in Maryborough.  Also in March is the Picture to Page show on 14th and 15th (this is in Kangaroo flat at the Primary School) Anyway on to the cards we'll be making at the classes..... First up: this card uses the beautiful Morning Star stamp set it's one of the Distinktive stamp sets which means it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images (so cool!)   I've also used the rather cute Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper teamed up with a bit of Gold foil cardstock (as the Golden Honey has gold foil accents in it)  The Golden Honey Paper is actually a Sale-a-Bration product, so you do have to spend $90 to get it for Free, (you can't just buy it singly).  Next up, I had a req
