Something Saturday - Watercolour Pencils on Black

Image
Hi there Creators Today I'm showing off how you can make the watercolour pencils really pop on a black background. when you use them this way you don't add water or anything else, just simply use them as pencils. This is the first card I made before the video: I've used the Celebratory Sips Suite (see links below) for both of these cards Then I made this one up in the video, and finished it off after, by adding some greenery around the bottom, the sayings and I wanted to create a graduated background paper to kind of give a sunset appearance, so to to that I've brushed darker colours onto the Pumpkin Pie cardstock to deepen it nearer the bottom. Here is a list of the products I used: Celebratory Sips Collection (I recommend getting the whole lot 'cos it's worth it!) but if you don't want it all, then, then in fact the only part I used here is: Cheers & Sips Stamp set Watercolour Pencils Assortment 1 Watercolour Pencils Assortment 2 If you missed the vid...

getting back into the Video scene!

Hi there,
I have another video for you again today, and some instructions to go with it :)

I have been making up some cute little cards recently with 1/4 size A4 cardstock, but as you can see from the photo, they really don't work with a normal size envelope!
 So..... it got me thinking, that I needed to work out an appropriately sized envelope for them!, several scrap pieces of paper later, and finally got it!
I was so excited that I created a video for you, however in the video I do say that I'll give you the measurements.
Therefore to create the card,
Start with A4 sized cardstock, cut it in 1/2 at 14.8cm, this will give you A5, (which when scored in 1/2 at 10.5cm will give you a standard card), however for this you'll cut it at 10.5cm, which will give you an A6 piece.  This when scored in 1/2 at 7.4cm creates your mini card.
To create the envelope I have used the Envelope Punch Board, which you can use to create so many different sizes of envelopes! but it does use a square piece of paper, as my aim is to use A4 with as little wastage as possible, I've gone with 1/2 a piece of A4 (14.8cm) and made it square (you do end up with a section cut off the end, but it's a decent sized piece that can be used for stamping on for other projects)  Then using the punch board, line it up to the 8.6cm mark and score and punch, and that's the measurements!


let me know if you're going to give it a go! and if you don't have the envelope punch board, then I can either order it for you, or you can click on the link above, and it'll take you to my online store
I hope this inspires you to create cute little cards!

God Bless love
