Something Saturday - Inchie equivalent card for those with an A4 Brain!

Hi there Creators, Well today I thought I'd have a go at an "inchie" card, only mine (unsurprisingly for me) aren't inchies! The idea behind it is that you have inch squares, which get attached to a background paper (which has been scored up before hand so you have lines to attach your inchies to, and embossed with an embossing folder, which then deletes the score lines. However, as you have to cut your base card down to create an inchie card, I decided to do things "my way" hence "equivalent for an A4 brain" Here are the 2 Inchie cards I received the first one from Simone my up-line as a swap at the Stampin' Up!event. She's used the beautiful vibrant Flowering Zinnias designer series paper and the second from Lee-Allan one of my down-line (which uses some paper that now I need to buy 🤣) check it out for yourself:  Natures Sweetness Designer Series Paper then I got onto creating one - my size using retired Designer Papers (you can never

Game On Stamp Set

Hi There Creative Peeps,
I had to get this set "Game On", as my oldest son plays cards, chess and generally likes board type games (the other 2 are more of the camouflage sort, as in yesterday's post).
I'm actually quite enjoying having time to create some cards that I wouldn't be able to teach (sorry!)
this first one was a bit of a challenge colouring the stamp in with the red and black as it's quite hard to see the image properly on the stamp, and I really wanted the colours to be more realistic, however after a bit of wet wipes I got there! and here's the result

did you notice the little club in the right hand corner?, I kind of wish they'd added a little diamond, heart and spade too!  the saying is from "Ridiculously Awesome", another one of those nice large saying's sets, and the patterned paper behind is from "In Good Taste Designer Series Paper"

Next up I had an idea for the chess pieces.  I wanted to put them onto a chess board, but I knew it would need a bit of perspective, I think I achieved it, and the family seemed to think so too!, what do you reckon?  the saying is also from Game On, and fabulously it fits inside the Classic Label Punch, yay!  Again I've used the In Good Taste Designer Series paper.

And lastly the dice! I really wanted to show them tumbling out, but as they have shadow underneath them the only way I could do this was to cut them individually, I'm actually looking at the picture now and thinking maybe I need to manually add shadow to the ones I cut out!  Again the saying is from the Game On stamp set, and the background paper is In Good Taste Designer Series Paper

All in all I'm pretty chuffed with these cards I've created, what do you think?

I hope they inspire you to have a think with your stamp sets and work out what you want to see them doing on the paper for you (if that makes sense?!)
God Bless love
