 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...

Sneak Peek time!

-
Hi Everyone,
Yay my BBB's came! (short for Big Brown Box) yep they're in a wheelbarrow! had to pick them up from the postbox, and they were too heavy to just carry them (had 8 boxes of catalogues in there too)
So if you'd like a catalogue let me know!
Anyway these arrived on Wednesday about 1/2 hour before the kids came home - eek that doesn't give much play time!!  However I managed to squeeze a little play, so thought I'd share them with you, here goes......
this first set caught my eye when I first flicked through the new catalogue, it's called Crafting Forever, how cool are the pens/scissors/paint brushes and pot, and of course the saying!  I really felt the scissors needed to be cutting some DSP!  Oh and it's all new colours too (Yay!)
Ok next up is this:
This uses a stamp set called Daisy Delight, and a new punch - Delightful Daisy, Oh and new ribbon.... and new Faceted Gems (so cool)

Righty Ho onto the last card I was able to create in the short space of time I had!
This card uses Lovely Friends Stamp set, and the framelit dies Lovely Laurel Thinlits that cut out the flowers and more, check out the next photo
How cool is this?  they pop out from the middle of the card, although I've got a feeling the horseshoe shape is meant to go the other way! is that right or is it ok to have it that way round too?  Oh and it's so easy to fit into the middle of the card.  And isn't the little "Yes You" and the two hearts in the corner cute?

Ok well that's All Folks as they say, I wasn't able to make any more, so I'm hoping to get back in there again tomorrow, we'll see.

Anyway I hope this inspires you create (and want one of the new catalogues - again if you want one, let me know!)

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...
