Something Saturday - Impossible Card

Image
Hi there Creators I figured I'd try my hand at an "impossible" card today (not to be confused with the never ending card🤣) But, just quickly don't forget to check out the retiring bargains in my Stampin' Up! shop (there's some great reductions!😉) I think it's called "impossible" due to the fact it is made from one piece of A6 cardstock I used the gorgeous Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper and the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle (Stamps, dies, embossing folder)  I figured they actually went quite nicely together. The card I made up and showed in the video is this one: I wanted a pop of colour hence the butterflies ended up in Berry Burst with some of the lovely Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearls on them then as I ended up cutting 2 sets of designer Paper I also made up this card , and coloured in the paper using Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers) so I could get graduation of colours. I reckon you could probably make this card any siz...

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 done you'll need Designer series paper cut to: 24 squares of 4.5cm and 4 rectangles of 4.5cm x 9cm, stick them into the appropriate places.

Then move onto the lid:  this is 12cm x 7cm, then 1cm scored all the way round, then cut the flaps, again see diagram below:  stick the little corner flaps in behind the end flaps to create your lid, and attach another piece of 4.5cm x 9cm Designer Series Paper onto it.


Fingers crossed your lid should now fit snugly onto your box, now you can have fun rolling your box up and down 😀

And in case you missed it here is the video:


 

I hope you have a go at this, let me know how you go, if you do check out my Facebook page, then please share what you make, I do love to see you're creations too! (or you can email them to me too)

Don't forget till the end of Feb for every $90 of goodies you order you can pick one of the Sale-a-bration items for free (the paper I used in the video is one of the items).

I hope this inspires you to create

God Bless love
