Something Saturday - Triple Ripped Card

-
Image
Hi there Creators I saw a quick link thingo of a card on Facebook, and sort of noted what she did - which was really cool, so set about having a go and I have no idea if it's the same as I can't remember what it was called or who had done it, but it worked out well anyway, and now I get to share it with you🤣 So here we are...... You might recognise this one as it's one in my "card conglomerate" of Mega Class cards for 19th July (if you're keen to come to the Mega class or get it as a mail order class, you've got till 2nd July to book your spot) check out the blog post on the class here: July Mega Class Then in the video I made up the "bones" of this card, which I've then stamped up using the Inspiring Imperfections bundle (great stamp set & dies) For the base I've used the Misty Moonlight two-tone cardstock, it's kind of cool as it has the same colour on both sides, just one light and one darker.  I've cut this to 9" x ...

Hi Creators,
Well it's all over red rover for another year!  but I thought I'd share a few of my photos with you.  I was blessed to have Rosalie (with me for the whole show) then Renee on Friday, Cindy on Saturday and Rose on Sunday.  Thank you to all of you I certainly couldn't do the show without you!

Also thank you to all of you who came and said Hi, entered our door prize, (which was won by Christine from Heathcote), and joined us for classes and chats.  I always find it so special getting to connect with so many different people with interesting stories and ideas.

Here we go with the photos.....  Rosalie, Renee and I set up on the Wednesday (Yes, it went for 4 days this year Thursday to Sunday, and looks like they're going for the same again next year!)  
So here is the stand looking relatively pristine before the crowds lol


then with some of the crowds......
And one of my classes, (I did ask the ladies if they minded being on my blog, and they were good with it)
here is the card that I taught these fabulous ladies:
it's my own design of fancy fold card which I named "Arrows" Card, I'm proud to say that everyone who made the card did an amazing job of it, and such a variety of colours for the birds in the middle by the end of the weekend!

Well I think that's it from me today (apparently tomorrow we have a power cut, so I'll be working on Christmas cards for my Mega Christmas in July day class on 20th July)  If you were lucky enough to purchase some of our retired stamps at the show, a little tip I have for you, is to google the stamp set, and you'll find all sorts of ideas from people who've used it.  Although it probably goes without saying, Pinterest is also an amazing source of inspiration!

I hope you have a warm spot to craft in and I hope that I have inspired you to create!

God Bless love

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

 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...
