Something Saturday - Peekaboo Diagonal Cut Card

Image
 Hi there Creators As I mention in the video I was having a bit of a nostalgic wander through my old catalogue (that retired on 6th May) and came across a page that had a couple of fun fold cards.  So here we are today, trying one of them out.....  Theirs is landscape, mine is portrait but the measurements would be pretty similar just having the fold of the card in a different place. Here is mine: as you can see it's kind of a card in a card.  I've used the Celebratory Sips Suite ,  although I confess I haven't used the stamps & dies in this particular card!  The suite has Stamps, dies, 2 embossing folders, bling, ribbon, and Designer paper, all for $138.25 which I think is pretty good! (and just think with the new rewards system, you'll then have $13.80 to spend on your next order - make sure you've opted in!) If you watched the video you'll know that I accidentally added glue to the wrong side of my designer paper, so I ended up making this card with ...

How to create longer punched shapes

Image
Hi Creators! I made a video the other day, which I managed to YouTube and Facebook, but didn't quite manage to get to the blog post too, so here we go! I thought I'd share how to make your punched shapes longer (and shorter) than the punch itself, and if you're anything like me, sometimes it's easier to read and have photos than it is to watch the video, but I'll pop a link at the end for the video too! Here goes..... take the punch you want to elongate, and measure the widest part of the punch Cut a strip of card to this size in this case it's 38mm. thread it into the side of the punch and out of the middle of the punch and punch one end of it Next stamp the image you want on it, see how this doesn't fit into the punch? So then thread the punched end out of the middle of the punch, line it up and punch again Voila.... Longer punched shape with the pretty edges :) You can do this with a variety of punches, as shown below to make the...
