Something Saturday - Bendy Floating Window Card

Image
Hi there Creators,  I saw a version of this card online pretty sure it was Lisa Curcio over in the States, I have simplified it right down (my husband says conserving cardstock and being economical) 🤣 She had used 4 pieces of A6 Cardstock to create hers, mine only uses one, plus the designer paper, embellishments and a couple of white strips for the back to write on. Anyway here are the ones I created: This first one uses Sweet Jar bundle  (stamps & punch), also the new Regals Designer Series papers , and the Spotlight on Nature Dies (although when I cut the circle I wasn't really thinking about the fact the pretty bit is on the inside 🤦‍♀️) The card I made in the video uses the ever so pretty Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper, then paired up with the new Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and matching Extraordinary flora bundle .  Oh my goodness you're going to want to get those!  I've attached the saying in the same way with a strip of matchi...

Global Design Project 103 (GDP103)

Hi Everyone,
I've been meaning to join in with the Global Design Project for ages!  So this time I've finally made a card appropriate for it!  The brief this time is a Theme Challenge "It's all about him".  Create something for a male!



http://www.global-design-project.com/2017/09/global-design-project-103-theme.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+GlobalDesignProject+%28Global+Design+Project%29 
With Father's day just having passed, and I forgot to send a card to my Step Dad in England (I did manage to send him a gift voucher, so not completely forgotten!)  I thought this would be ideal to spur me into a card for him! (fairly sure that I'm safe posting it on here, as he doesn't get online - lol)
I've seen a lot of cards that have been using Eclipse Technique, so thought I'd give it a little go (admittedly I don't have the current letter dies, but I do have some that retired a while ago.)
So here it is:
http://www.global-design-project.com/2017/09/global-design-project-103-theme.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+GlobalDesignProject+%28Global+Design+Project%29
I'm not sure that I've cracked the technique, and to be honest I couldn't see the letters initially, hence they ended up being coloured in!  I've used the "Guy Greetings" Stamp set with it.
I hope he likes it, I think I'll try next time using numbers (I have the Large Numbers Framelits)  I think it might look better with larger letters. Have you ever tried this technique, how did it work for you?
I hope this inspires you to have a go and create!
God Bless love

    Heather,
    This is such a great card, made even better by the addition of your step-dad's name. Thanks for playing along this week at Global Design Project.

 Hi there Creators, Well today I thought we'd check out something from the new catalogue, which will be live in just a few days (7th Jan).

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...
