Something Saturday - Scroll Cards

 Hi there Creators,

Yep I've jumped on the band wagon, after having seen these cards all around figured I should have a go myself! (and in the process, of course, show you😊)

My first card I wanted to use the map vellum from Layering Designs Vellum, and create a "journey through life" kind of card.  If you check my blog regularly you'll know that I love this wave stamp from Waves of Inspiration Stamp set

After this I moved on to Designer Papers, bearing in mind that we have a heap of stuff retiring at the end of June, only 6 more days!, and some is reduced up to 50%!!  if you haven't checked it out, check it out here:  Retiring goodies

Having said that, this first one was made with some of the new SunPrints Designer Paper - love this colour! I thought it might be a nice card to send off to my step Dad who's currently in hospital.

 Then I did move onto the retiring papers...... the Flowering Fields Designer Paper is so pretty!  Gotta love this bling too! Iridescent Rhinstones

I then finished the video and had a fabulous idea......

Why not make a shaker card out of it?  so I restarted the video and showed how to make this card (so if you thought it was "all over red rover" after the card above, you might want to go back and check it out....)🤣 

All the components in this card (other than the base cardstock) have been reduced!!, check out this link for the goodies I used: What Heather Used

obviously all the beads decided to run to the left side lol (but honestly they do shake around!) 

If you missed the video and would like to see it, here it is.....

I hope it inspires you to create,

Something Saturday - Cute & Easy Boxes

 Hi There Creators,

Today's video was showing you how you can create these ultra easy "sunny boy" boxes, so called after Sunny Boy flavoured frozen iceblock/drink things.  Before I arrived here in Australia (Tom - hubby said, Oh they were so good and only 10c each......)  probably not 10c anymore if they were still around 🤣

Anyway, they are so simple to make, my one recommendation with them is to make sure the join isn't going to end up on a fold, so when you squash flat the bottom, make sure the join isn't central, but to one side!

Here's what I created, my first one was with a sheet of A5 cardstock (14.8x 21cm)  I had stamped the fishes on it first using the "A Fish & a Wish Bundle".  Then rather than sealing up the top, I've cut slits using the Label Me Fancy Punch. and made up a ribbon handle.

This next box is using Designer Series Paper (this one, Artfully Composed -so gorgeous is retiring at the end of June) so currently it's reduced to $14 (from $20) Bargain!!  Anyway this box is made from 8" x 4" cardstock.

And this last long thin box is made from 6"x 6" card!

Really you can create them with any size of rectangular cardstock.  So if you haven't before, have a go!

I mention in my video they'd probably be a nice alternative to Christmas Crackers or if you're organising a game where people need an individual something secret (like charades)

Do check out the video showing you how to make them here:

 

I hope this inspires you to create

Something Saturday - Perfectly Pencilled meets Fabulous Frames (quick Wow card)

 Hi there Creators

I bought this Perfectly Pencilled papers, as they are so gorgeous, but I don't really feel like colouring them in all the time (and I know some of my customers are not fans of colouring in) so thought I should come up with a quick and easy idea for making the most of them.....

I was thinking that Spotlighting on the paper would be quite pretty, and I guess this is a kind of "spotlighting"

This is the card I initially made:  Although at the time of the video I hadn't added the saying, what I've done is just coloured in the frames part of the card,

In the video I had planned something different to what actually took place 🤣 having said that I then had to make another card (see after this one) to show what I was going to do!

This is the card I made in the video: where I just turned round a couple of the pieces to display the other side of the designer paper instead,  I possibly could have got away without colouring it, but the leaves in the center really only needed minimal colouring!

What I had planned to show off in the video was just colouring the layers with dauber or blending brushes like this:

And if you missed the video and would like to see it, here it is.....

which one is your favourite?  I think the middle one is mine!

I hope this inspires you to create

Something Saturday - Alphabest Bundle

 Hi there Creators

Today I am showing off the Alphabest Bundle, which has a cute little punch "Best Label" punch and a matching alphabet stamp set.

I mention in the video that I saw the punch in the catalogue and for some reason my mind automatically thought it was double the size, until it arrived 🤣 At that point I decided on getting the alphabest stamp set to go with it, and I'm so glad I did, it's a great size for an alphabet, and I love being able to punch out all the letters.

Anyway on to what I've created with it......  This is the first card I made before the video, although I have now finished it off with some extra tassels on the side, made by taking a couple of lengths of twine tying a knot in the middle of it and sticking it down.  I love the stamp that gives the lines behind the letters in the "hello". 

 

I worked out that if I added all the letters to one block that only had to be stamped once, then the ones that needed 2x stamping to a different block and there was only one that needed 3x, so that was on a different block (definite advantage to punching each letter out!😉)

Then this is the card I made in the video, I've added again extra tassels and the pretty little flowers stamp at the top Click here to see the products I used: What Heather Used

If you missed the video and would like to check it out, here it is...   

Gee I can see myself using this stamp set and punch a fair bit!

I hope this inspires you to create
