Something Saturday - Click Clack Concertina Card

Image
 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 factoršŸ¤£  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!šŸ˜ƒ) 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...

Party Puffins, Cards for June class

Image
 Hi there Creators,  I thought for a change this month we'd do some kids cards, Sam (10)  has been to a couple of parties recently, and I've really enjoyed using this stamp set making up cards for them.  The Party Puffins are so cute! (I'm pretty sure they'd appeal to big kids too lol) So here we go..... Card 1:  I like doing fancy fold cards and they're always a winner with kids! Card 2:  Sparkly stuff!, also a winner with kids lol, I've used some of the Rainbow Glimmer Paper with this card, so pretty!, and as it's rainbow there's also a greeny/blue section which would work nicely for a boy! (and these sparkles don't get everywhere, bonus!)   Card #3 also uses a bit more of the sparkly Rainbow Glimmer Paper behind the vellum heart (some of the green this time!)  A spot of masking and you have a heap of small cute puffins! And the last card I thought would be fun to showcase the candles, if you coloured the candles in pinks I reckon it would ma...

Hydrangea Hill Cards for May

Image
 Hi there Creators the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper is so beautiful that I thought I'd make it a feature of the cards for our May class, plus I've added in a couple of new items......šŸ˜Š(which will be available from 4th May, yay!) This first card uses some of the new Pale Papaya open weave ribbon (very pretty) and it's funny as when I first saw this colour I really didn't think much of it, but it's not as wishy washy as I thought it looked, it actually has a nice peachy tone to it.  Oh and the saying is from a new set too called "Elegantly Said" The second card is this one, again new goodies, I've used some of the Pale Papaya card behind the saying, then there's also new stamp set and punch: Flowers of Friendship Stamps and matching Flowers & Leaves Punch (I like punches!)  and lastly there's the new Linen Specialty Paper, this was an interesting one, I didn't realise it's sticky backed, I rather like the way it allows the pa...
