Something Saturday - Bendy Floating Window Card

Hi there Creators,  I saw a version of this card online pretty sure it was Lisa Curcio over in the States, I have simplified it right down (my husband says conserving cardstock and being economical) 🤣 She had used 4 pieces of A6 Cardstock to create hers, mine only uses one, plus the designer paper, embellishments and a couple of white strips for the back to write on. Anyway here are the ones I created: This first one uses Sweet Jar bundle  (stamps & punch), also the new Regals Designer Series papers , and the Spotlight on Nature Dies (although when I cut the circle I wasn't really thinking about the fact the pretty bit is on the inside 🤦‍♀️) The card I made in the video uses the ever so pretty Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper, then paired up with the new Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and matching Extraordinary flora bundle .  Oh my goodness you're going to want to get those!  I've attached the saying in the same way with a strip of matchi...

How to curve photopolymer stamps in a different direction

 Hi there Creators

I've been meaning to make a video to show how I do this for a while, and finally got round to it today! 

In the video I show 2 methods of positioning your long photopolymer stamps to curve them in the direction you want them to go, and as I don't make up the cards in it, I thought I should do a blog post to go with it and show the completed cards!

Here is the video - enjoy! (and don't forget to read the rest of the blog!)

 

First up I showed how to curve the stamp to a cut out piece, by turning the piece over, laying the clear block over the piece then positioning the stamp where you want it on the block, when you stamp you turn the card stock back the right way.

Here is the card I made using this technique:

See how the saying mirrors the edge cut with the Curvy die?  I've used some of the pretty Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper behind, and also for the jar, cutting out a couple of flowers from the paper to go in the jar (cut with the Jar punch) I had to make the jar a lot smaller, by trimming it down with the bottom of the punch.

I've also used some wink of stella to bling it up a bit along the line of the dies and also on some of the flowers.

The other card I used the Quite Curvy stamp set, and showed how you can use the inside cover piece for the stamps to hold your stamp in place till you have it on your block,

Here is the card I made with this method, the saying would normally curve in the opposite direction (the same way as the leaves)  how cute are the little birds?  I'm not normally big on birds but, these little ones I really like!  it's a nice simple card, coloured in with the Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers)

I hope you can start to curve your photopolymer stamps a little easier now!, and this inspires you to create.
