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

What we did at Coffee&Cards Class

Hi there, thought I'd share with you the creations we made at my Coffee&Cards Class in Dunolly on 23rd. I'm having a bit of a thing with small cards at the moment lol, so I thought what better than to showcase the Notecards and Envelopes that have been around for ages, also the Narrow Notecards and Envelopes (which are currently in the Occasions catalogue and will be moving into the new Annual Catalogue) and also the little 3x3 envelopes, which fit small cards, you can get 6 of them out of a piece of A4 cardstock. Anyway I'm pretty sure you didn't come here to hear me waffle on, so onto the cards! So this first one is the one using the Vanilla Notecards and envelopes, (at only 53c per notecard and envelope they're very economical, and very handy to not have to cut and score you're own!) we also used one of the gorgeous Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers , just cut in 1/2 and the ladies loved that they are really stickers so just peel off the backing!  You

Eureka Stamper challenge day 7

Hi everyone, Yep that's it made it to the final day! Day 7's brief was "It's World Card-Making Day" make a card and send it! Thankfully I had my Saturday class in the morning, as Saturday was a bit chaotic then I ended up with a migraine in the evening, so by then I wasn't up to much at all! However at my class I did end up completing one card, and one of the ladies who loves this particular colour hadn't been able to make it due to being sick, so I sent it off to her.  Later I read the challenge for the day, and thought Yay already done it! So this is the card I sent her (might look a touch familar if you're a regular reader of my blog!) I did replace the "enjoy today" with "hello"  This card uses the Leaf punch , which I have daubed colour (lemonlime twist) onto, pressing harder and lighter to create the varied look.  The saying is from Eastern Beauty stamp set , Then the main image in Rich Razzleberry is from Floral Phras

Hi Everyone, Wow isn't the year travelling fast!! Tomorrow is May, so here are the cards I'll be teaching in my classes, The dates are: Wednesday 3rd May 10.30am (meant to be in Bendigo, but the venue we usually use is unavailable, so it will be in my classroom for those who fancy the trip out), Saturday 6th May in Maryborough at 10am, and Wednesday 10th May at 7.30pm (my classroom in Laanecoorie)  Do let me know if you'd like to join in any of the classes :) first card uses the Watercolour Wings Stamp set , and the Bold Butterfly Framelits (on the retiring list), if you have the stamp set, but not the framelits, I recommend that you get on and purchase them quickly before they run out! Next up is this pretty flower from "You've Got This" stamp set , also a peek at one of the new In Colours, Lemon Lime Twist!, I think it looks so fresh, and a bit of Clear Wink of Stella over the flower I thought I should use up some of my favourite Designer Series Pa
