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 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...

Hydrangea Hill Cards for May

 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......😊(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 pattern of the paper to show through the linen, and I love the light texture it gives.  We're also saying a sad goodbye to Rococo Rose as it' retires on 3rd May making way for the new In Colours.  I've used it for my base card colour.

The last (and trickiest) card is this one, it looks deceptively simple from the outside (partly cos it is very simple on the outside),

but when you open it up there's this.......

Wow, I know right?

Anyway down to the nitty gritty, the class is either in person or by mail (you'll get a video of how to do the pop out bit if you choose by mail, as well as the usual instructions) Class cost $20 ($22.20 by mail to cover postage).  

If you choose "by mail" you'll need to stamp your own sayings and find some other flowers to use on card #2, but everything else will be ready for you.

Dates for class here in my classroom are Tuesday 11th 10.30am, Wednesday 12th 10.30am or Thursday 13th 7pm.  If you can't make one of those times/days and would rather do the class in person, then let me know and we'll work something out😊

Make sure you book your spot as classes can book up kind of fast!

If you're not up to joining in, I hope this inspires you to create at home!

God Bless love
