 Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show off  how to create one of the sets of cards I taught at Craft Alive. If you would like a kit, I do have a few spare left over, so please ask me, I've reduced them down to $20 per kit and you do get full instructions for 4 cards, plus all the "ingredients" to create them and extra cardstock 😃 The Turtles Kit is this one (this is made in the same way as the Fancy Fold Wings Card that you can find the video to here:  https://youtu.be/UdOBtXuOHno Then the Triangle cards that we're concentrating on today..... I promised in my video to share the measurements with you for these 2 cards, so here goes.......

Easy cards with Washi Tape

 Hi there Creators,  If you check out my Something Saturdays then you'll know about my quick/easy/cheap washi tape card tutorial this morning!    However if you missed it/ wanted a refresher or aren't FB minded, then this is for you 😁 Stampin' Up! doesn't currently have any washi tape, but that doesn't mean that I don't have heaps lol  So I've gone with 3 strips of washi tape, 3 little mini flowers using the small bloom punch , add some Gold Glitter Enamel Dots , and a saying, and you have yourself easy cards: I have just made sure that my 3 strips of washi cross over somewhere on the card and then added the flowers on top,  There's a little trick I've used in the video to make the little green leaves that I've popped behind the flowers just a way of using the punch in a different way! The other cards I showed were Christmas cards, then I showed a little trick of cutting the flower to look like a star for the top of the tree: If you'd like t...

Roll Up Box

 Hi there Creators Well this morning I did my Facebook live video on a little roll up box, it's so cute!  I said I'd share the measurements etc with you on a blog post, so here it is....... but first some photos to whet your appetite 😊   Now for the measurements...... Take your A4 piece of card I used the Stampin' Up! Basic White Thick Card , as it's nice and strong, and score lengthwise at 4.95cm (just a fraction before the 5cm mark)  I actually made a quick mark on my Paper Cutter as just about all the measurements are this)  move it along and score it at the next 4.95cm (ie 9.9cm), move it along again and cut it off at the next 4.95cm mark (ie 14.85cm). Turn the card stock and score 4.95cm, move along and repeat (should be 9.9cm) then I recommend you turn the card stock around and repeat from the other side don't do what I did in the video! - let me make the mistakes for you lol Next cut the "flaps"  check out the rough diagram below;  Once this is...

2 Quick, Easy but gorgeous cards!

 Hi there Creators,  well this morning I did my Facebook live and thought I might share what I made with you, hopefully by the time I've finished the write up the video will be uploaded to YouTube and I can add it to here too! Anyway I started off my video showing how I cut and score my cardstock to create my base cards, actually I score it, then cut it, as it cuts down on one step (no pun intended)  So I score the card all the way down the sheet at 10.5cm, and if I need to do a few I'll get the lot scored first, then move onto my cutter, and the 1/2 way mark for A4 paper is 14.8cm, I know my trusty Paper Trimmer will cut at least 2 pieces of card in one go, so that makes it a bit quicker too. Anyway onto the cards, I've cut my Designer Series Paper to 5 3/4" x 4"  the piece of plain card for the top part is 1cm less all round, so cut to 13.8cm x 9.5cm.  I have used the Sale-a-Bration Flower & Field Designer Series Paper which is only available when you pu...
