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...

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 purchase $90 of goodies from the catalogues, then you can choose it for free! That's right, during Sale-a-Bration you get rewarded for orders of $90+, Bonus!!
I took the white card and made 2 diagonal cuts in it, the middle one is for one card and the other 2 pieces go on the other card. As you can see I've taken more of the pretty "Flower & Field Designer Series Paper" and fussy cut some of the images, they don't have to be complete images as you can "hide" the lost bits under others. I have used the lovely stamp set from Hello Dear Friend All inclusive card kit as I really like the writing, and I thought the flower and leaves really suited this paper well.
The Blue flower in the photo below is missing the left and bottom of the image, but it's covered well with the other flowers so you wouldn't know!
And on this one the 2 pink flowers are missing 1/2 of their image!
How cute is this little flower from the Hello Dear friend All inclusive Card kit and doesn't it suit this paper so well? I've also used one of the Opal Rounds embellishments (as this card had a smudge I needed to cover!)
Oh and look at that, the video has managed to upload to YouTube, so I'll attach that too. yay!
Ok well I hope this inspires you to have a go and dig out your beautiful flowery papers! Of course if you want this paper to do this with, all you need to do is order $90 of goodies and choose it for free (it's only available till end of Feb, so you need to get in quick!)
Hi there Creators, thought I'd join in this Sale-a-Bration Blog hop today, and I'm excited to see what others have created using the upcoming Sale-a-bration SAB products. For those un-initiated SAB is a special time of year where we have 2 months of FREE Products *YAY*: When you purchase $90 of products you get to pick a free product from the SAB offering, this year is the first year we're going to have 2 SAB's in a year there's another one coming in July too (it'll be different products) *DOUBLE YAY* lol Anyway there were a couple of products that I have to admit I wasn't so keen on, but at the time I was ordering it was a case of pick the stamp set I didn't have as others weren't available, then lots of people seemed to be raving about the Designer Series Paper that I ended up using (again I wasn't so keen on it) However I have a thing about not being beaten by a stamp set, so I was determined to make something of it (especially as I can...
Hi there Creators, Today I'm joining a Crafty Collaborations hop, this is a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all round the world, cool eh? This particular blog hop is What's New? and open to our own interpretation. Sitting out in my craft room I spied the True Love Designer Series Paper that arrived a few days ago, and decided on a spot of colouring in therapy, and the cards started from there..... This Designer Series Paper is black and white, and has some great images to cut out (if you don't mind a bit of fussy cutting) The first card I made with the paper was this one, I've cut the flowers out from one of the sheets of Designer Series Paper, and used Stampin' Blends to colour them in. With this first card I've also used one of the Gold Hoop embellishments which I haven't used before too, I have to say the metal ring is really quite sturdy you can see the Gold Hoop a little more clearly with this photo, I've used a bit of the Gorgeou...
Hi there Creators, I've been waiting ages, but finally this stamp set has arrived and it's every bit as cute as I expected it to be! So of course I had to play with it....... First up I stamped all the images using Black Stazon (they come in strips of 3 to match the dies) and cut them out with the big joined together die. Then got to work creating cards with them, I ended up with 5 cards in the end, Oh and I've just realised I forgot to take photos of the insides, bother! This first one didn't get anything on the inside, I stamped the tag up, then debated what I could do to lessen the impact of the white card, and came up with the idea of inking the little label then stamping it a few times without reinking, and repeating till the card was covered sufficiently. I'm quite pleased with the effect I got! This second card is such a fun kid card, you might recognise it from my previous post on Global Design Project #264. I've tied the ribbon at the end, then th...
