CCWM- I’m back! Creativation Haul & Playing With Color Bursts

on February 4, 2018

Hey guys! I am back!

Creativation was an absolute blast – thank you so much to those who followed along with all the shenanigans via our Heffy Doodle instagram. I am just about recovered from an icky Conference flu, and BOY did i feel much better after tonight’s crafty session!

Over the next few weeks we will have some more videos to share, as I will be part of some blog hops and collaboration projects. So watch this space.

Here’s tonight’s replay of my Come Craft With Me LIVE youtube sesh. Remember to subscribe if you want to catch it when i go live. Mostly it will be on Friday nights at 9pm GMT, but sometimes I just randomly go live when the mood takes me! 🙂

In this video I go through the lots of goodies i brought back from Creativation, I take a closer look at the new Heffy Doodle release, and I also show some Unity stamp set which are free to a good home. Later in the video, I get crafty with some Color bursts by Ken Oliver. I was lucky enough to have Ken and Amy Fligel in our row at Creativation, and then we saw them again at Frankfurt. I couldn’t wait to get crafty with these fun products.

CCWM – Welcome Baby, Boss Retirement card & Heffy Doodle Elf tag

on November 19, 2017

Happy weekend crafty friends!

If you didn’t get a chance to watch the LIVE version of Come Craft With Me this Friday, then you can always watch the replay right here on Hungry Heffy Crafts, or over on the Hungry Heffy YouTube channel.

This Friday I ended up making two cards and a Christmas tag. Let’s take a look.

I created my own pink and blue striped panel using washi tape and some masking paper – I was trying out some new finger daubers that I got at last weeks craft fair. I then used my baby party animals stamp set from Simon Says Stamp to create the sweet critters. These guys are adorable in my opinion!

I added some inking to the background, stuck down some swiss dot embossed clouds and added some hearts and gems to the BABY panel. I love how it turned out!

Next up was a card with retirement in mind. My crafty friend Dennice has a boss who is leaving soon, and so I thought about making a card that would work for someone’s retirement. I wanted clean, simple and classic. So I embossed some rose gold embossing powder onto grey card and then cut out the letters to read Good Luck Boss – leaving a gap for another sentiment in the middle (from Mama Elephant Up & Away stamp set).

I didn’t have a lot of time left, so decided to make a tag. I had to use these Heffy Doodle Elfish Antics for this tag, they are cute, huh!?

I also used the sentiment from the Heffy Doodle Elfing Christmas words stamp set. For the tag I used Lawn Fawn scalloped rectangles, rounded rectangle dies and also some Avery Elle falling snow dies. The ribbon and jingle bells give it such a festive feel!

Thanks for stopping by to take a look. At the moment I am working on creating an unboxing video for the Brother Scan n Cut CM900 machine, so watch this space!

Also – I should note – NO Come Craft With Me next Friday 24th November. It is the Christmas Fayre at Piper’s school and yours truly has been roped into doing some face painting! 🙂

Happy Crafting my friends!

25 Days of Christmas Tags – Light Up Tag ft Heffy Doodle

on November 15, 2017

Hello everyone,

I am so excited that the Chibitronics team were asked to join in the fun over at Tracy McNeely‘s blog this month! Tracy has a feature called 25 Days of Christmas Tags, and it is packed to the rafters with lots of inspiration! You should head on over to check out all the amazing tags that have been featured there so far this month!

Here is my project for this fun collab – a light up tag featuring the Heffy Doodle Warm Hugs stamps and dies.

I have even made a video of how I made today’s project – so whether Chibitronics is new to you, or if you have used them before, you will get to see me in action and hopefully find a little inspiration.

The cute people are all from the new Heffy Doodle Warm Hugs set and the Squeeze Here is from the Heffy Doodle Interactively Yours stamp set. This is a MUST if you like interactive cards. These are available at HeffyDoodle.com and also many retailers across the globe. I link below to SSS but you can see a full list of retail partners here.

Of course, the magic happens when the card is lit up. Let’s take a look!

The blue LEDs are so COOL! They are the perfect option for creating a chilly, wintery look!

Please come on over to the Chibitronics blog to see more projects made by the team, and there is also some details on how you can win a Chibitronics starter kit. Check it out!

Happy Crafting everyone!
