 Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show off  how to create one of the sets of cards I taught at Craft Alive. If you would like a kit, I do have a few spare left over, so please ask me, I've reduced them down to $20 per kit and you do get full instructions for 4 cards, plus all the "ingredients" to create them and extra cardstock 😃 The Turtles Kit is this one (this is made in the same way as the Fancy Fold Wings Card that you can find the video to here:  https://youtu.be/UdOBtXuOHno Then the Triangle cards that we're concentrating on today.....

Forever Greenery DSP

Hi there Creators
As you would know if you keep up with my blog, my pre-order goodies arrived for the new Annual Catalogue the other day, I haven't had much of a chance to play with them.  However as I was cutting up the gorgeous Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper into 3 x 4" rectangles, I figured I might as well make up some cards with them.  This is (currently) my favourite paper from the new upcoming catalogue, add a couple of the new In colours (Misty Moonlight and Just Jade, and one of the 2019-2021 In colours Pretty Peacock) so here we go.....

you can see I've paired up a couple of the cards with the new Jar punch and the saying  "Sending you a Paper Hug" from the new stamp set Comfort and Hope.  I love the way you can have the punched out jar full size or any other size (the little ones turn out so cute!)

Thought I'd also show you a card I made up with the "Comfort and Hope" stamp set, as it's quite a grungy stamp set.
You could easily make up a set of cards like this with any of your favourite patterned cardstocks, I used 3x4" pieces then layered them on top of plain card that blended well, then used pieces of other blending colours and ribbons to either mat under them or create interest

I hope this inspires you to find some pretty patterned papers and have a go too!
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...
