 Hi there Creators, Today I thought I'd show you something I saw at the Picture to Page show recently, the fold kind of fascinated me, so I went home and mocked up a practice one (and after several attempts with scrap paper finally got it worked out!) A4 style 😁 I decided to use the  Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper   partly because I keep forgetting to use it, and I do love the gold foiling in it.  I ended up using Peach Pie A4 Card and B lueberry Bushel A4 to create the base cards with, then used the Nested Essentials Dies (so glad I bought these as they're incredibly useful), and Simply Said stamp set , which is my "go to" set, when I don't know what else to use🤣. Here are the finished cards: and just a few more photos to show you the back, side and bottom.... So to create.... The peach card (portrait) take a piece of A4 cut in 1/2 lengthways, and score in 1/2 at 14.8cm, from the 1/2 way point across the top fold of the card score down...

INKspiration Challenge Offical Launch

-
Hi Everyone,
Well I have been meaning to get into my craft room for this challenge for a week and 1/2 now, finally made it.... YAY!
I'm really pleased with this card, quite simple, and I think it'll be in my teaching next month!
So without further ado here it is:
 
The "brief" was to create a card using these colours, although I haven't used all of them (and I've substituted Blushing Bride for Flirty Flamingo)  I'm still quite chuffed with it!
 INKspiration
You should be able to click on the icecream photo to check out what others have been doing over on the INKspiration Facebook site.
You might be wondering what I've used?  Well the ink colours are Sweet Sugarplum, Peekaboo Peach, and Flirty Flamingo,  then I've taken one of the gorgeous new Lace Doilies, and used it as a mask with the 3 different colours, just daubing them over it, then moving the doily and doing the same again, till the background is covered.  Then I've taken the lovely Sale-a-Bration stamp, "So Very Much" and stamped that straight over the top using Sweet Sugarplum.

Remember for every $90 of product you order at the moment you do get to choose a FREE Sale-a-Bration item (YAY for free stuff 😊)

I hope I have inspired you to create
God Bless love

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

-
Image
 Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper  Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is:  I hope this inspires you to create one t...

GDP #261

 Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done)   So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently  I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work?  anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol)  I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours.  The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper !  I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...
