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...

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:

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
