Something Saturday - Click Clack Concertina Card

Image
 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...

Fundraiser for Collective 61 (and a video!)

-
Hi There,
Yesterday was the fundraiser I was doing for Collective 61, we all had a great day, and it was perfect for staying in and creating, being a rainy day!  I captured a picture of the sky before we started, it was amazing!

Having said that I managed to forget to take any photos of the creating!  (yay go me - lol), however I did take photos of the kits I created for the day, and photos of the cards/ project I created for it, and also a little video to show how to create the long "handbags" that the kits were in, so first up....

The Kit "handbags":
then what we made.....




As I had all my watercolour pencils with me, the ladies were able to choose the colour they liked for the cards, or to pick the ones from the pack "Lot's of Happy Card Kit"  gee the cards turned out beautifully! (very therapeutic colouring in!)
We also made a little framed piece with a quote from Isaiah 61 (it's in the Rose Wonder Stamp set) and matching card.  The designer series paper we used is the Tutti Frutti, and the little "Hello Friend" stamps came from the Fruit Basket Stamp set
And last but not least a little video for you, on how to create the handbags that I had the kits in, they're made from 12x12 cardstock, scored 1" in on opposite sides, then turn the card, and score at 5.5" and 6.5"  (just so you have the dimensions)


I hope you enjoy the video, and this post has inspired you to create, the kits really are fabulous, and so relaxing to create, (you don't really have to think too hard with them lol)

Don't forget only 6 days left of Sale-a-Bration,  3 options,
  1. get a free SAB item for every $90 spent
  2. host a party and when orders total over $400 you get an extra $40 to spend (or place an order for $400 and get 4 SAB items and get $80 free to spend!
  3. Join Stampin' Up! for $169 and choose over $300 of products!

    Hi there Creators, thought I'd join in this Sale-a-Bration Blog hop today, and I'm excited to see what others have created using the upcoming Sale-a-bration SAB products.  For those un-initiated  SAB is a special time of year where we have 2 months of FREE Products *YAY*: When you purchase $90 of products you get to pick a free product from the SAB offering, this year is the first year we're going to have 2 SAB's in a year there's another one coming in July too (it'll be different products) *DOUBLE YAY* lol Anyway there were a couple of products that I have to admit I wasn't so keen on, but at the time I was ordering it was a case of pick the stamp set I didn't have as others weren't available, then lots of people seemed to be raving about the Designer Series Paper that I ended up using (again I wasn't so keen on it)  However I have a thing about not being beaten by a stamp set, so I was determined to make something of it (especially as I can...

What's New?

  Hi there Creators,  Today I'm joining a Crafty Collaborations hop, this is a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all round the world, cool eh?   This particular blog hop is What's New? and open to our own interpretation. Sitting out in my craft room I spied the True Love Designer Series Paper that arrived a few days ago, and decided on a spot of colouring in therapy, and the cards started from there..... This Designer Series Paper is black and white, and has some great images to cut out (if you don't mind a bit of fussy cutting) The first card I made with the paper was this one, I've cut the flowers out from one of the sheets of Designer Series Paper, and used Stampin' Blends to colour them in. With this first card I've also used one of the Gold Hoop embellishments which I haven't used before too, I have to say the metal ring is really quite sturdy you can see the Gold Hoop a little more clearly with this photo, I've used a bit of the Gorgeou...

 Hi there Creators, I've been waiting ages, but finally this stamp set has arrived and it's every bit as cute as I expected it to be! So of course I had to play with it....... First up I stamped all the images using Black Stazon (they come in strips of 3 to match the dies) and cut them out with the big joined together die.  Then got to work creating cards with them, I ended up with 5 cards in the end, Oh and I've just realised I forgot to take photos of the insides, bother! This first one didn't get anything on the inside, I stamped the tag up, then debated what I could do to lessen the impact of the white card, and came up with the idea of inking the little label then stamping it a few times without reinking, and repeating till the card was covered sufficiently.  I'm quite pleased with the effect I got!   This second card is such a fun kid card, you might recognise it from my previous post on Global Design Project #264.  I've tied the ribbon at the end, then th...
