Something Saturday - Click Clack Concertina Card

 Hi there Creators Well I was sitting last night wondering what to do for my Something Saturday, and playing around with a bit of paper, ended up designing this card, I've made similar cards before like the cascade cards, this is probably a bit more basic, but I'm happy with it and it's way simpler to create, but still packs a cool Woah factor🤣  I've used Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper which is on the last chance list. I decided it needed a sentiment so picked out this one from Sweetest Star Stamp set (last chance list again), because it has 6 words (1 for each panel!😃) and these Adhesive backed Snowflake Assortment are also on the last chance list and happen to be reduced to 1/2 price (woo hoo!) Ok, onto measurements.... You'll need a sheet of A4 for the base card, score it at 9.9cm either end, then cut in 1/2 at 10.5cm, fold so each piece is concertina'd into 1/3rd's then each folded piece needs a cut that goes 1/2 way up the card (in the...

Sneak Peek Stampin' Up! Sale-a-Bration

Hi Everyone, As I said in the last post Jenny came over today, and created the 3 cards that I showed you, and drum roll please here is my 1 card! lol This card uses some of the beautiful Sale-a-Bration "Inside the Lines" Designer Series Paper, it's designed as a black and white image that you colour in  (as Jenny was saying, how's your colouring-in therapy going?) I enjoyed colouring it in, this is just a section of the 12x12 sheet, and there are 4 different designs.  Then again, with the Sale-a-bration products the saying comes from a cute stamp set called "Designer Tee"  I just love this particular saying , Don't Quit your Daydream ;) Sale-A-Bration (SAB) starts on 4th January, for every $90 you spend on regular products you get to pick a SAB product for FREE (yay!)  there are also perks for hosting a workshop, and for joining - ask me! Anyway I hope this inspires you with excitement of things to come! God Bless love Heather

Hi Everyone, To continue the sneaky peeky bits...  Jenny Stewart (one of my downline) came round today and successfully made 3! cards whilst I did a heap of prepping work for my 8 Christmas cards class tomorrow, and finally had the opportunity to create 1 card! - well 1 is better than none, and Jenny did say I could share her cards with you all😊  So, I thought I'd share Jenny's cards first, I'm going to get to play with this balloon at some point! She has used the Up & Away Thinlit dies for this card and the matching Lift Me Up stamp set (no links at the mo, as it's not available till January 4th, unless you are a demonstrator)  however feel free to join my team, this is just ONE of the many perks of being a "demo"!   This next card (I might add Jenny likes Purple!)  She's used  the Blooms and Bliss Designer Series Paper (this one is current, in the annual catalogue, hence the link!)  She's also used The Balloon Pop- Up Thinlit dies, a...

Hi Everyone, Welcome to my new blog, I'm hoping to be able to work out how to offer much more with this blog! Here are the cards I'll be teaching you in December (obviously focusing on Christmas)! First up is this cute Cookie Cutter Christmas Card using the Cookie Cutter Christmas Bundle isn't the reindeer gorgeous?  I've also used the Festive Textured impressions embossing folder   and the Layering Ovals Framelits . Next up is this beautiful Silver bells card, I'm pleased with this card, I hope you like it too I couldn't help thinking of the Christmas song my Mum used to sing when I was young called Silver Bells!  I took a close up of the bells so you can see that they are silver embossed too. This card uses the Seasonal Bells bundle  and the Softly Falling Embossing folder  Oh and to cut the saying at the bottom (which is part of the stamp set) I've used the Bunch of Banners Framelit dies . I'm so pleased with the cards for this month...
