Something Saturday - Cascading Pleated Fold Card

Image
 Hi There Creators, I promised when I was showing off my swap cards from OnStage that I'd work out how to create a couple of cards I received. So, here we go, I have discovered they're called Cascading Pleated Fold Cards! (good start) Here are my 2 cards I made using this technique, I figured I could have a go at both landscape and portrait cards. 😍 The first one is made using the absolutely gorgeous Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper . It took a bit of cutting to get it right as I wanted each scene in front to echo the scene behind, but I think I got it! Then the card I made up in the video ended up like this, I've used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper (which is happily continuing onto the next catalogue!), and the Ice Cream Swirl Bundle (again continuing on)   Although Sam (Mr 13 year old) did ask what flavour ice-cream is that meant to be?  I said Chocolate & Boysenberry (Hummm, Ok Mum....) 🤣 Anyway on to the measurements.... I worked out that

Interactive Class "Book Cards"

Image
Hi there, On 19th June 10.30am and 7.30pm I will be doing my Interactive Class (also available as a mail out class), and this month we are doing "Book Cards"  (mainly with new products *yay*) This first card uses the stunning Stained Glass thinlits, and matching Painted Glass stamp set  then inside you have the Sheet Music Stamp set , and I thought the saying "just a note" from Flourishing Phrases Stamp set (often a "go to" set for me) was rather appropriate lol This second card uses the beautiful "Serene Garden Stamp set" on the inside, It reminded me of the sleeping beauty story book I had as a child  Then on the outside I've used the matching Garden scene framelits, this one is an embossing die (how cool!!), and the smaller dragonfly from Detailed Dragonfly thinlits As I mentioned at the beginning this is available as a class in my classroom on Tuesday 19th June (10.30am or 7.30pm)  for $20 or it is available as a mail o

CreateAbles Team Day May 2018

Hi There, We had our CreateAbles team day on Saturday, and had so much fun, I thought I'd share some photos with you all :) Our day started with "Yours Truly" giving a motivational talk for my team (which thankfully seemed to go down well!)  Then we moved onto Rosalie Fitzmaurice from RJ Papercrafts doing a demo for us on the new Make a Difference Alphabet set, which is a beautiful set, and she did a fabulous job demoing it to us. Next we moved onto our Make & Takes for the day, Jenny Stewart had made this beautiful creation for us (at least this was my interpretation of it, as we were allowed various stamp sets) gotta love this "Share What You Love Designer Series Paper", and the beautiful Pearlised Doilies! Next Up Renee Mallia from Crafty Nay's Cards shared this fabulous Creation using the Sea of Textures Stamp set and the Under the Sea framelits:  and this is the inside it's so cool! called an explosion card (kind of like a tar

Cards for June

Image
Hi there! Wow yes, I know, I'm ultra organised for June!! And who would have guessed that I'd be using new stuff?  I really don't know which one to start with, can't pick a favourite this month, so let me know which is yours! Sooo, first off we have this Abstract Impressions Stamp set to create this card, I love poppies, so when I saw this stamp set, I just had to create some poppies with it. Card #2 uses the dies that bundle together with the above stamp set! Springtime Impressions Thinlit dies, there is another die in the bundle, a lovely butterfly, but how pretty is this large die cut?  and I think the sentiment will be one I use a lot!  This card just uses the new 2018-2020 In colours, they are so lovely and vibrant! Card #3, Oh my goodness the embossing die is sooooo pretty!  This is from Garden Scene framelits, with the matching Serene Garden Stamp set (that the bird is from) and I've used the Ribbon of Courage Stamp set for the saying and small hea

Hi There!  This month's Interactive Card Class is Twirl Cards, which are really amazing, when you open and close them up they have an element inside that spins around (how fun!) remember this class is a mail out class as well as in person - more details at the end. I have taken photos but they don't really show it well, so also done a short video to show it better, however... photos first!  this first card uses the fabulous Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits , and the sayings are from the matching Dragonfly Dreams stamp set . The next card uses the cute Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper , which is on the retiring list, so if you want more, get it while it's still there! isn't the dog so cute? And now to see them in "Action" check out my short video below. And down to the nitty gritty.... The in person class is on Tuesday 15th May 10.30am and 7.30pm, please book your place by 14th, cost is $20 or the Mail out class is available for $17 incl
