Hi there Creators, Well my Something Saturday this week is showing you how to create a Camera Shutter Card (I'm not sure if that's what it's called but that's what I'm calling it 😀), so here is the card..... The photos above are the finished card from the video, I did add a little to this one. Anyway the basic ingredients are:   You will need 1 piece of A5 card for the card base, you'll need to "gate-fold" this, which means scoring at 5.25cm in on each edge.  It gives you the usual A6 size card but the opening is in the middle. You'll also need 2 pieces of 7.4cm x 10.5cm, which need to be scored on one side in by 1cm And one piece of 14.8cm x 7cm, scored in at the top and bottom by 1cm You'll also need an appropriate punch ideally one that's fatter in the middle and tapers towards the ends slightly. Also a pencil, rubber, ruler and glue  Oh and some images to stamp I've used the really cute Sale-a-Bration Counting Sheep stamp set and

 Hi there,  well my "Something Saturday" this week was these 6 Quick and Easy Christmas Cards using the elegant Peaceful Place Specialty Paper , the Stars are Shining Stamp set   and the fabulous White Glittered Organdy Ribbon and I promised in the video that I would pop the measurements up on my blog, so here goes.......  Those are the 6 cards, however as I did repeat them all I've then taken photos of each with it's "pair", so I can give you the instructions for both if they ended up different.   however this first card didn't end up much different!  This card I've cut the same paper and used both sides, the underneath piece is cut to 3.5" x 14.5cm (sorry about the combination of cm and inches!) the top piece with the trees is 3" x 5" Then I've just stamped the saying across the bottom of the card. This next card has a base of Smoky Slate, cut to 14.5cm x 10cm, then the specialty paper is cut to 6" x 9.5cm  with 1/2 "

 Hi there! In my latest YouTube/Facebook Video I showed how to create a faux stained glass window on the top of one of the new Stampin' Up! Kraft Gift Boxes.   These boxes are fabulous as they actually fit cards and envelopes in them!  Yay!, as I quite like to give some of my cards as presies from time to time I'm really stoked that these are the right size. They have a little window at the top of them, which is where the stained glass bit comes into play.... So how do you do this? Before you put the box together, using Black Stazon Ink stamp the image onto one side of the window, then use a black permanent marker pen to draw on the rest of the stained glass bits. Turn the box over, and on the opposite side colour in the parts with Stampin Blends (alcohol markers)  NB do not colour in the side that has the stazon on it!  if you do the stazon will run, and you'll end up with muddy colour. Pop your box together and viola one stained glass window effect. Just in case, you do w

 Hi there! In my random extra Facebook video I did yesterday I was creating this card: (because the new mini catalogue is out and I couldn't resist sharing some of the Christmas goodies in it) In the video I mention that I intended to make up cards with the other dies in this set, and that I would show them off once made......so yay I've made them! I've continued using the whole bundle, check it out here:  Time of Giving bundle   how cute are the little reindeer and sleigh? The funny thing with this Giving Gifts Dies is that I didn't really think properly when I was looking at them in the catalogue, I was expecting for some reason much bigger dies, possibly the name should have given it away lol!  they really are around gift tag size, but I'm really happy putting gift tags onto cards.........so here goes... the next card I made up uses the leaves, I had the idea to cut it out of a rectangle of card, then have a second rectangle under it, and colour this in autumnal
