Something Saturday - Louvre Windows Card

-
Image
 Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show you how to create this Louvre Windows card (little bit of trivia, did you know Louvres were invented back in the middle ages around 1500 years ago?, they were made of wood and put on pitched roofs to let out smoke, and increase circulation)😃 Anyway moving on.... I saw these kind of cards at the Picture to Page show, and of course the company selling them had dies to cut out all the components, but I figured I could make it work my own way. And so Voila: I made this card up before the video using the Celebratory Sips Designer paper (see all the links below) and here it is opened up (little difficult to photograph!) So this is the bit that's obscured above! Then in the video this is the card I made up, this time using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper (again links below) and the middle..... as you can see I used a bit more of the designer paper to cut out and add to the middle sections and again the obscured bit Links for products R...

Hi there, Just thought I'd share a few simple cards I've made recently, as I'm teeing up doing a class for the guys and girls at the Chiropractors that I go to, as I'm totally unsure of their abilities when it comes to crafting, so I'll take these in with me and see what they think: this Waterfront Stamp set is such an easy set to use, to create amazing images with!  Oh and I 've just discovered something really cool, on page 149 in the catalogue there are some cards featured showing this set with 2 inkpads, twine, a clear block and cards with envelopes, and although I'd heard about it I'd not really comprehended that Stampin' Up! have made things really easy and bundled them!!  check it out, Waterfront Cards Supplies set .  Anyway onto the next card This one uses the stamp set that goes with the Calligraphy Essentials Project Kit , Calligraphy Essentials stamp set , then some of the brights colours with daubers.  Nice and easy, and a prett...

Thankyou card and Tag Card for July

Hi There! Thought I'd share with you the thankyou card and tag that you can make up into a card that I'll be sending out this month to everyone who orders from me.  I was making these as I was on my Stand at Craft Alive in Wodonga, here I am! so I was little limited to what I'd taken with me, which in this case was the Brights and Neutrals Stampin' Write Markers, and some of the new matching Brights ink pads. I'd seen so many beautiful cards made with both these stamp sets, so I succumbed! lol This one uses the Tropical Chic Bundle , Oh wow it's so gorgeous!  I just love the way it cuts out the fronds from the card, and leaves it intact.  And Oh isn't the flower so beautiful?  I've inked it up with 2 of the Stampin' Write markers, then used a dauber to blend the colours together.  I've used the same technique with the leaves, and 3 greens, effective isn't it?  If you want to see it "in the flesh" just make sure you place an ...
