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...

February class cards

-
Hi there Creators,
my goodness February is almost upon us!  Classes for Feb are: Wednesday 5th at 10.30am in Laanecoorie, and Thursday 6th 7.30pm in Laanecoorie (my classroom), then the other one is in Maryborough on Saturday 8th at 10am.  Love to have you join us if you can, but if you can't I hope you find inspiration in my offerings here:
I'm using a heap of the new goodies from the "mini" and Sale-a-Bration catalogues.  So let's get started!
First off the block: this paper is just gorgeous! it's called Best Dressed Designer Series Paper, it also has handbags, and shoes, accessories on other sheets too.  I've teamed it up with my fav new punch: Braided Border Punch, and the Sending You thoughts Stamp set, which has some fabulous sayings, and is a Sale-a-Bration product (you can't buy this one, when you spend $90 on other goodies, you can choose it for free)
 
 Next up:  this one uses the Birthday Jubilee stamp set and matching Jubilee Beauty dies, it's so pretty the trellis dies (there's 2 different ones in the pack, check them out by clicking on the link)
Card #3 I just had to buy this stamp set! Pedal to the Metal it's got a Ute, Buggy and motorbike (and with 3 boys - 4 including Tom (husband) it's the perfect set!), I've teamed it up with Let it Ride stamp set, I just think they go together well!
Then lastly I wasn't planning on getting this set, but after I saw someone else had used it and how gorgeous it was......  the Stone embossing folder and Power of Hope Stamp set are both Sale-a-bration items, in fact they come as a pair, so if you want them you'll need to find $180 of goodies to  purchase and pick these for free.  (actually not all that hard to do, finding $180 of goodies! lol)  anyway I've teamed it up with the lovely Woven Threads Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalogue, I think it works well for her dress, and I do love the saying! it means so much to me, as a Christian my faith is in God and He gives me hope to believe that all things are possible, which there are definite times in my life that I need that!

Well as Porky Pig says in the Looney Tunes Cartoons "That's all folks"!
I hope these cards inspire you to create!
God Bless love

    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...
