Something Saturday - Cascading Pleated Fold Card

 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

Hi there Creators, If you order my ClassCards@Home kit this month you'll be receiving these cards to create at home, for each of these, you'll need to use your own Stamps, Inks and Glues but I'll be providing all the papers pre-cut along with instructions and videos.  Click on the link below by Friday 1st May to order and pay for your kit, I will get the kits all organised over that weekend and mail them out on Monday 4th. With Mothers day on the horizon, I thought this might be suitable with a appropriate saying, you'll be choosing a colour and saying that you have at home.  This card uses the beautiful Tasteful background dies , and the really pretty Woven Threads Sequin Assortment .  Oh and also the Stitched rectangle dies .  I've called this card "Tasteful Things" Card #2 could also be used as a Mothers Day card if you wanted to, this one uses the Tropical thinlits , and I did discover that the Label Me Fancy Punch does sit nicely on top

Tag Card for March instructions

Hi Creators, if you have ordered from me this month you'll receive a tag on your bag, I've included the extras to make this card, so thought I'd drop in quickly and explain how to pop it together! first up here is the tag, it's small but cute!  I've used the Tabs for Everything stamp set, which has this cool line stamp perfect size to cut out with the 1" circle punch , I've backed it with the 1 1/8" scallop circle punch , using the Champagne foil sheets , then it's hung using the rose metallic thread . So then onto the card itself!  take your piece of Designer Series 3x6" paper, and fold over around 1cm at one end of it, attach it down to your card (and attach the flap down)  then attach down the die cut Tropical Thinlit piece.  Then take your tag, add adhesive to the back of it and loop the thread around till your happy with the way it looks and attach this to your card too, Voila you're all done! I hope you enjoy making up your

Thankyou card and Tag Card for July

Hi There! Thought I'd share with you the thankyou card and tag that you can make up into a card that I'll be sending out this month to everyone who orders from me.  I was making these as I was on my Stand at Craft Alive in Wodonga, here I am! so I was little limited to what I'd taken with me, which in this case was the Brights and Neutrals Stampin' Write Markers, and some of the new matching Brights ink pads. I'd seen so many beautiful cards made with both these stamp sets, so I succumbed! lol This one uses the Tropical Chic Bundle , Oh wow it's so gorgeous!  I just love the way it cuts out the fronds from the card, and leaves it intact.  And Oh isn't the flower so beautiful?  I've inked it up with 2 of the Stampin' Write markers, then used a dauber to blend the colours together.  I've used the same technique with the leaves, and 3 greens, effective isn't it?  If you want to see it "in the flesh" just make sure you place an
