Something Saturday - Bendy Floating Window Card

Image
Hi there Creators,  I saw a version of this card online pretty sure it was Lisa Curcio over in the States, I have simplified it right down (my husband says conserving cardstock and being economical) 🤣 She had used 4 pieces of A6 Cardstock to create hers, mine only uses one, plus the designer paper, embellishments and a couple of white strips for the back to write on. Anyway here are the ones I created: This first one uses Sweet Jar bundle  (stamps & punch), also the new Regals Designer Series papers , and the Spotlight on Nature Dies (although when I cut the circle I wasn't really thinking about the fact the pretty bit is on the inside 🤦‍♀️) The card I made in the video uses the ever so pretty Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper, then paired up with the new Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and matching Extraordinary flora bundle .  Oh my goodness you're going to want to get those!  I've attached the saying in the same way with a strip of matchi...

Something Saturday - One Sheet Wonder

 Hi there Creators,

Well today I was showing how to make a One Sheet Wonder (for those uninitiated) it's where you stamp up a sheet of paper or take a piece of Designer Paper, cut it several ways and make a heap of cards up from it.

I've used an A4 Sheet of paper and stamped the gorgeous new Flowing Flowers 157880 $44, using my 2021-2023 In Colour Stampin' Write Markers. (you can get all 5 of them for $26.25)

Anyway onto the photos.....

Here are the first set of cards I made before the video I've used some of the Brights colours with a white background for these ones:

 In the video I mention that I plan to dress up the cards a bit more, I've used the cute Brushed Brass Butterflies 158136 $ 17.50 for these cards:

The cards I made in the video have use the In Colours on a Vanilla Background:
 
Flowing Flowers, Stampin' Up!, One Sheet Wonder
And I've used the 2021 - 2023 In Colour Jewels (they're so pretty) and of course go beautifully with the ink colours!

Instructions.....

  • First up take your piece of A4 White or Vanilla card, and stamp it up, I go with stamping the largest stamp randomly first, then moving down to the smallest stamp (make sure you leave room for the different stamps, but working this way, you should be able to fill in the small gaps with the smallest stamps)

  • Once you're happy with the way the whole sheet looks you can start cutting, here is my (rough) cutting guide for A4 sheet:   Cut the whole sheet in1/2 so you have 2 A5 sheets, fold one of these in 1/2 to make one card, then cut the other sheet, as shown:
    One Sheet Wonder

  •  then you can decide on colours to go under each piece, I used a 2.5cm piece under all the 2cm strips, then found some random scraps for the other 2 cards
  • The first card has the 3 strips mounted on coloured card strips and attached to the card, with a saying at the bottom
  • 2nd card has the 2 strips, again mounted onto coloured card, and attached in a cross shape to your card.
  • Cards 3 & 4 just use the stamped piece as the focal point of each card.
  • Card 5 is stamped on both the front and the back, just for something different!, but if you didn't want that, you could use the A5 sheet to make 4 more cards like the first 4 or just cut it in 1/2 and stick on the front of a card!

 As you can see really quite simple 😊

I hope this inspires you to have a go too, you could use Designer Paper to create the same cards, if you didn't want to stamp.

God Bless love
