Something Saturday - Cascading Pleated Fold Card

Image
 Hi There Creators, I promised when I was showing off my swap cards from OnStage that I'd work out how to create a couple of cards I received. So, here we go, I have discovered they're called Cascading Pleated Fold Cards! (good start) Here are my 2 cards I made using this technique, I figured I could have a go at both landscape and portrait cards. 😍 The first one is made using the absolutely gorgeous Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper . It took a bit of cutting to get it right as I wanted each scene in front to echo the scene behind, but I think I got it! Then the card I made up in the video ended up like this, I've used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper (which is happily continuing onto the next catalogue!), and the Ice Cream Swirl Bundle (again continuing on)   Although Sam (Mr 13 year old) did ask what flavour ice-cream is that meant to be?  I said Chocolate & Boysenberry (Hummm, Ok Mum....) 🤣 Anyway on to the measurements.... I worked out that

Curvy Dies

 Hi there Creators,

well available from 3rd November will be a new bundle called Curvy Celebrations, there's 2 stamp sets, 1 die set and a pack of Designer Series Papers for only $123.25 - start saving!! (you can buy some of the products separately)

Anyway I had an idea and I'm quite pleased to say that the 1 idea produced 3 cards!!

My thought was to run 2 pieces of patterned paper together through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine, and cut them both into quarters then piece the pieces back together to create a sort of patchwork effect.

I've spritzed some of the Frost White Shimmer Paint onto the background and with this first one also painted the snowflake from So Many snowflake dies, with the frost white. (close up after the cards) how pretty is that intricate die cut?

this next one I coloured in the dove from Detailed Dove dies, with a Wink of Stella clear brush, just love the shimmer you get!, and again spritzed the background with the Frost White shimmer paint

Then the last card I pieced together the extra random bits and trimmed them down added the beautiful star conglomeration from the Stitched Stars dies.

Got to admit I think these dies will be so useful (there is more and I haven't quite got round to playing with them all yet!)

I hope this excites you with new stuff to come 😊

God Bless love
