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

Cards for April

Hi there Creators, Well almost at the end of March, and so here are the cards I'll be teaching in April.  The class dates are Wednesday 3rd 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 4th at 10.30am and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie, then Saturday 6th at 10am in Maryborough.  Do let me know if you plan to come to one of the classes (and haven't done so already). Best start showing you the cards!  This first one uses the stunning Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder , which is currently a Sale-a-Bration item till the end of March, so spend $90 and you can choose it for FREE! (you can't purchase this one at the moment).  I've also used the Label Me Pretty Stamp set with Matching Pretty Label Punch , and the lovely chunky ribbon is Gray Granite Textured Weave Ribbon .   Card #2, I thought we hadn't used the Stampin' Blends for a while (don't forget if you're using the Blends they are alcohol markers so you need to use memento ink for your ba

Interactive Class "Book Cards"

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

Cards for June

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
