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 - Tulip Fields

 Hi there Creators,

well finally the Tulip Fields came off the ship and into stock.... and then out to me!

Today in my video I showed the Tulip Fields Bundle, and then only used the stamp set to create a quick and easy card.  However I did figure I could use the dies next Saturday, so come back again to find out what I do with the dies!

However today's video, in one of our Stampin' Up! events one of the demos used this set, and showed us how to line up the perspective Tulip fields

Here is the card I created:

Tulip Fields Bundle, Stampin' Up!,  Being CreateAble with Heather

I have to admit if I was making again, I think I'd stamp the windmill first, as I stamped it after the tulips and it kind of "floated" above them, hence the line of blue border flowers!

Anyway lining up the triangles is quite easy, stamp the long double one first, to create the "horizon", then the middle one, then 2 more either side - lets face it how many times do you see flowers really precise?, so I reckon we can get away with it being "close enough"

To get the clouds I've used the same blue as the blue border flowers (Pacific Point) but as that was a bit dark for the clouds I've stamped off first on scrap paper.  And the last thing I did was using my blender pen to "pull" the colour from the edges of the windmill, so it wasn't quite so white.

And there you have it a nice simple one layer card!

I hope this inspires you to create, remember things don't have to be complicated.

God Bless love
