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...

Cards for October

-
Hi there!
well we're in the thick of school holidays now, but I have finally found a few minutes to let you know the cards we'll be creating in my classes in October.

I'll just go with the order I made them in, so first up is this beautiful bouquet from "wishing you well" stamp set, I've loved the bouquet and bow since I set eyes on them in the holiday catalogue, they are what Stampin' Up! calls Distinktive stamps, which means that they create different opacities in a single stamped image, it's really amazing
 doesn't it create such a beautiful subtle image?  I've also used the Swirly Frames stamp set with this card too.
Card #2 I had to use this Buffalo Check stamp, oh my goodness it's fabulous!
I've teamed it up with the His Light stamp set, I do love the font in this set! then added a couple of the gorgeous Red Rhinestone basic jewels.
Moving onto Card #3 this was again one of those I couldn't resist stamp sets lol, "Trick or Tweet" it's meant to be Halloween, but I'm not big on that, however how can you resist the elephant, and the other animals?
I've teamed it up with 2 stamp sets,  Birthday Backgrounds (how about those streamers?) and Itty Bitty Greetings (only for the Happy Birthday, but it's a really handy stamp set for all the greetings in it!).
Ok last card.... back to Christmas!  I've used the Merry Christmas to All/Merry Christmas Thinlits bundle, lovely combination of Christmas sayings you can produce with this bundle!
I've teamed it up with the lovely "All is Bright Designer Series Paper", the Decorative Ribbon Punch, and the Merry is cut from the fabulous Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper.

Well that's it! hope you can join us, the dates for these classes are next Saturday 6th Oct 10am in Maryborough, then Wednesday 10th at 10.30am and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie.  Do let me know if you plan to come along. Look forward to seeing whoever can make it, and if you can't I hope these have inspired you to create!

Crafty Collaborations Sale-a-bration Blog Hop

    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...

Celebration of Tags

 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...
