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...

Game On Stamp Set

Hi There Creative Peeps,
I had to get this set "Game On", as my oldest son plays cards, chess and generally likes board type games (the other 2 are more of the camouflage sort, as in yesterday's post).
I'm actually quite enjoying having time to create some cards that I wouldn't be able to teach (sorry!)
this first one was a bit of a challenge colouring the stamp in with the red and black as it's quite hard to see the image properly on the stamp, and I really wanted the colours to be more realistic, however after a bit of wet wipes I got there! and here's the result

did you notice the little club in the right hand corner?, I kind of wish they'd added a little diamond, heart and spade too!  the saying is from "Ridiculously Awesome", another one of those nice large saying's sets, and the patterned paper behind is from "In Good Taste Designer Series Paper"

Next up I had an idea for the chess pieces.  I wanted to put them onto a chess board, but I knew it would need a bit of perspective, I think I achieved it, and the family seemed to think so too!, what do you reckon?  the saying is also from Game On, and fabulously it fits inside the Classic Label Punch, yay!  Again I've used the In Good Taste Designer Series paper.

And lastly the dice! I really wanted to show them tumbling out, but as they have shadow underneath them the only way I could do this was to cut them individually, I'm actually looking at the picture now and thinking maybe I need to manually add shadow to the ones I cut out!  Again the saying is from the Game On stamp set, and the background paper is In Good Taste Designer Series Paper

All in all I'm pretty chuffed with these cards I've created, what do you think?

I hope they inspire you to have a think with your stamp sets and work out what you want to see them doing on the paper for you (if that makes sense?!)
God Bless love

    1. Hi, I stamped the chess pieces first, then drew the chess board around them
