In case you missed it, Heather released Love U 2 Pieces a few weeks ago and I decided that would be the perfect kit to do some word art for!

SSD is 30% off this weekend for NSD, so have a great time shopping!!

It was my wedding anniversary last week, and I decided to make a slightly adventurous card for me… with a little help from the awesome templates of Ms Heather Roselli of course!

Heather recently released this set of pop-up templates, DIY Printable Templates: Pop-Up ABCs

I decided to have a play and see if I could combine several pop-ups in one card – and I was 95% successful I think! Here’s the inside of my card:

It was made using the DIY Printable Templates, plus Heather’s Under The Boardwalk digital scrapbook kit.

Here’s the outside for you to see too – fairly neutral so it would suit my husbands tastes, but still pretty enough for me to enjoy too

Now I said 95% successful – this is because after making it I noticed a couple of niggles that I plan to correct next time I make a similar card:

• Firstly, I will ensure that the pop-up flaps are printed with the background paper – see how they stand out ‘cos they’re sooo plain & white?
• Secondly, I need to double-check the spacing between the letters/ characters more accurately before sticking.  Do you see the heart is too close to the ‘u’?
• Finally, I should have played around a little more with the heart I substituted for a letter because if you try to close the card, it doesn’t neatly lie flat, as the flaps for the heart are a little too short.

Having just pointed out all my mistakes, I would like to add that I am actually very tickled at how well this first attempt at a pop-up card went – especially as I chose to modify Heathers precise measurements myself!

I will definitely have another play with pop-ups & will try substituting shapes for letters again I have no doubt!  Hummm, maybe I need to pester Heather to make a coordinating DIY Printable Templates Add-On, with simple shapes such as hearts, clouds & flowers!  What do you think?

‘til next month,

Sara

There are two in particular I thought I’d highlight with you today.  Firstly Heather’s DIY Printable Templates: Carrot Box

As always, Heather’s templates come with nice, straight-forward instructions plus the ready-to-print version of the template that you can see in the preview above too!  Here’s another example, which I made last week:

This is the perfect template to use when you need multiple versions of it, such as for a group of children or as fun table favours at your family’s Easter meal. I used similarly patterned paper in all the available colours from Heather’s Run Wild digital scrapbooking kit, and then finished the filled carrot boxes off with just a simple ribbon bow, glue-dotted to the top.  These boxes make a sweet ‘n simple prizes or gifts, which require very little equipment or time to create.

Next, let me remind you of this eggs-tremely cute gift bag template (old bad joke, I know!), Heather’s DIY Printable Templates: Egg Gift Bag

The ready-to-print version accompanying this template is totally adorable as you can see, but I thought I’d show you that you could also make the gift bag look a little more sophisticated, perhaps for an adult, by simply choosing a different colour pallet or kit to play with:

See what I mean? The soft colours & the heart embellishments from Heather’s collab kit with Shawna Clingerman, Love You Beary Much, make this egg gift bag feel a little more grown-up – think your other half or even your in-law’s!

Now, to make things simple, Heather has packaged these two lovely templates together, saving you money & making the choice easier: buy both!!

I hope you have fun playing with Heather’s templates & kits to help you make this Easter perfect, with a lovely home-made collection of colourful gifts & goodies!

Remember to show off whatever you create in the gallery at the Sweet Shoppe!

See you next month!
