Something Saturday - Fancy Fold Card

 Hi There Creators Today I'm showing you how to make the card that Paula (Yellow Bear Stamping) was showing off when we were together in New Zealand (couple of weeks ago in my video) see the video here: Live Video with Paula I have no idea if it has a special name, she found it on Connie Stewarts blog (from USA), so now I'm borrowing it and changing it (as I do....)  see my measurements down the bottom. Here is the "original style" card that I made: (click the links to see the products) This one uses Nested Essentials Dies , Courage & Faith Stamps , and Timeless Plaid Designer Paper on a backing cardstock of Pebbled Path (I'm going to be so sad to see that colour go when the In colours retire in May!) then in the video I (kind of) made this one: which uses Wildly Flowering Designer Paper , the same dies ( Nested Essentials) , and a new Stamp set: Tags of Thanks . then I made my sideways revised version....  for this I've used the rather lovely Everyday H...

True Love Designer Series Paper

-

 Hi there Creators

Well after having played with a bit of the True Love Designer Series Paper, (DSP) I just couldn't resist continuing on with it, so here is my next lot of cards that I've made up with it.  I got a bit inspired when I saw what others had done with it and adding hearts into the equation!  Having recently treated myself to the Heart Punch Pack, which consists of 2 heart punches, that fit together nicely.

Anyway onto the cards......

The first card I made I just punched the straight heart out from a piece of card, lined it up on the DSP and drew round the cut out heart, then I coloured in where it needed it, attached it together, and if you're a regular reader of my blog, you might remember that I stamped up the Many Messages stamp and cut out all the messages with the matching die, so I had 18 sayings to pick from (have to admit I'm loving this way of adding my sayings!)  check out the Many Messages Bundle!

This next card, I have punched out the straight heart first then punched the scalloped heart, as you can see where to position your scallop heart this way round, I've added Wink of Stella over both hearts. And another one of the sayings......

You can see the Wink of Stella better on this photo:

The next card I made was this one, extremely simple, but quite effective!, take a piece of the DSP, punch the straight heart out of the middle, then punch the scallop heart out too, pop the rectangular piece of DSP down on the card add a line of the Black organdy glittered ribbon. Daub round the edge of the heart, I've also used my new blending brushes, and add the heart on dimensionals to your card. Did you guess I used another one of the sayings from Many Messages?

And the last card, I've coloured in the flowers with my Stampin' Write Markers (I've used the 2020-2022 In Colours) Again I've cut the straight heart out first, then the scalloped heart, and utilized both, the straight heart is painted over with Wink of Stella (it's a lot more glittery than my photo gives it credit for!)  You know what I still have a heap of the sayings left over on my desk from the Many Messages!

True Love Designer Series Paper, Many Messages, Stampin' Up!

There is the potential to make so many cards out of this fabulous pack of DSP (and it's only $20! pretty good value!) I've used a small section of each pattern in the cards I've made so far.

Well I hope these inspire you to create in your space!

God Bless love

Hi there Creators, I have worked out our class cards for May now woo hoo!   Class dates are:  Tuesday 7th at 1.30pm in Laanecoorie, Thursday 9th at 7pm in Laanecoorie, and Saturday 11th at 10.30am in Maryborough.  Class cost is $24 for 4 cards with envelopes.  It's important to book your place if you're coming to Laanecoorie as space is limited. Here are the cards we'll be creating: Using the beautiful Unbounded Love Bundle and Layers of Beauty (I've only used the stamp set here, but Oh My Goodness the bundle is so worth it!), also showcasing some of the new colours: Shy Shamrock and Peach Pie (guess which is which 🤣) Then back in time a little as this was in the mini catalogue (if you want it, buy it now before the end of the month while it's still a bundle price with 10% off it!)  Ice Cream Swirl Bundle (stamps & dies)  again showcasing one of the "new" colours, although Pretty in Pink is actually an old colour with a come-back!

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

-
Image
 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...
