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&

Something Saturday - Double Window Shutter Card

Image
 Hi there Creators today I'm showing how to make a card I'm calling a double window shutter card, as I'm not sure where I saw it (if I did I may have just dreampt it up!, or what it was called if I did see it somewhere and it had a name!) Anyway I doubt very much mine would be the same as anyone else's (I'm like that!) So here's my original one I created, I've used the Sea Turtles stamp set to make this one: this time I decided to use the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper, I love that it has a vanilla background to it and gives my white cardstock a rest! I've added the Cheerful Daisies Dies , and used the Distressed Gold Specialty paper for the inside pieces of the flowers, I've deliberately left the other side without stamping, as I'm not quite sure who I'm giving it to yet! If you missed the video here it is: I hope this inspires you to have a go too! God Bless love Heather xox  

Something Saturday - Delightful Doily Hybrid

Image
 Hi there Creators Today we're looking at the Delightful Doily Hybrid , it's an embossing folder with dies.  During July you can earn Bonus Days Coupons Spend $90 and get a $9 coupon (this is cumulative), whilst these dies are $74 you could add the embellishments I've used below and some glue (or add a bit of ribbon, paper... you name it!)    As the name suggests you can create a doily effect with it and I've shown off a few ways to use it in the video, but basically... you can cut the main flat images as shown (excuse the fact the large one is embossed, this gets done in the video) then you can line them up inside the embossing folder and emboss them (I've brushed over a bit of colour so you can see the pattern) Then lastly you can cut them out with the intricate die, and emboss them, it creates such a wow! then I thought you might need to see a close up, I've added some of the Festive Pearls to the middle of each of mine as they blended really well with t

Something Saturday - Paper Florist Dies

Image
 Hi There Creators Today we're checking out the really Cool "Paper Florist Dies"   these are stand alone dies, which create absolutely fabulous flowers, you can make arrangements out of them.. attach them to paper bags.... create displays with them, pretty much wherever you can use artificial flowers you could use these!  During July you can earn Bonus Days Coupons Spend $90 and get a $9 coupon (this is cumulative), whilst these dies are $65 you could add the embellishments I've used below and get over the line (or add a bit of ribbon, paper... you name it!) I have used them on the bags I've made for my Mega class which actually is happening today! (didn't click when I made the video that it would be on the same day!)  I've used some of the Brights cardstock to create my flowers and here they are.... First up a heap of the ones I created before the video for the bags then the embellishment on the bags themselves I've also added some of the Brushed Bras

Something Saturday - A Useful Gift

Image
Hi There Creators, Today I needed a new notebook for my sermon notes, so I thought what better than to show you how I decorate up notebooks as presies for others, (and myself)  I buy mine from Kmart, but I don't think it would matter where you buy them. And on to the photos:  My notebook started off without the extra elastic, and at the end of my video I added an extra section to show how I add the elastic to it to keep it closed when not in use. But basically you just punch two small holes in the backboard of your notebook (top & bottom) thread through the elastic and tie it tight enough that it will loop round the front and not be baggy.  I've also given my Designer Paper 2 mats one in Copper clay and the other as Pretty Peacock.  It really is a case of measure your notebook and decide on your own sizes!  the last thing I did was add a length of ribbon tied to the top of the spiral binding (make sure you only tie it to one piece of wire (not the double loop) as otherwise
