Something Saturday - Louvre Windows Card

Image
 Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show you how to create this Louvre Windows card (little bit of trivia, did you know Louvres were invented back in the middle ages around 1500 years ago?, they were made of wood and put on pitched roofs to let out smoke, and increase circulation)😃 Anyway moving on.... I saw these kind of cards at the Picture to Page show, and of course the company selling them had dies to cut out all the components, but I figured I could make it work my own way. And so Voila: I made this card up before the video using the Celebratory Sips Designer paper (see all the links below) and here it is opened up (little difficult to photograph!) So this is the bit that's obscured above! Then in the video this is the card I made up, this time using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper (again links below) and the middle..... as you can see I used a bit more of the designer paper to cut out and add to the middle sections and again the obscured bit Links for products R...

Hand Drawn Blooms bundle

Hi there Creators,
Thought I'd share with you today the Hand Drawn Blooms Bundle, it's pretty amazing!  a pretty stamp set and really great dies, I've got a couple of cards to show you.

This first one is a nice simple card, the flowers and the stems are 2 different stamps in the Hand-drawn Blooms stamp set, but they fit together very easily, the sayings come in 2 lines, so with this card I've only inked up the one line, and lightly (and roughly) coloured in the flowers with the watercolour pencils.

This second card uses the main die from Banner Blooms, how amazing is it?!  it doesn't have dies to separately cut out the saying, so I recommend that you stamp the saying on spare card, then lay the die over it, draw round them both, and cut them out by hand.  I've also used the fabulous Rainbow Glimmer Paper, wow this is amazing!  And if you love glitter, but don't like it coming off on you (or going everywhere) this one doesn't! it clings rigidly to the paper and not you lol

And here's a close up to show you the beautiful rainbow glimmer.  Wow isn't it amazing?!

I've also used some of the Magenta Madness ribbon (it's one of the new In colours), pretty colour!

Both of these cards are really simple, Card 1, uses just the white cardstock (and obviously the stamp set with pencils)  I've cut an extra piece to stamp the flowers onto, but it wouldn't have to have that step.  Card 2, again uses white cardstock, glimmer paper, (with the die and stamp set) and a bit of ribbon!, so you don't have to have heaps of "ingredients".

I hope this inspires you to know that you don't have to make really complex cards for them to be "wow" cards!
Thanks for reading... till next time
God Bless and Happy Creating
