Something Saturday - Louvre Windows Card

Image
 Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show you how to create this Louvre Windows card (little bit of trivia, did you know Louvres were invented back in the middle ages around 1500 years ago?, they were made of wood and put on pitched roofs to let out smoke, and increase circulation)😃 Anyway moving on.... I saw these kind of cards at the Picture to Page show, and of course the company selling them had dies to cut out all the components, but I figured I could make it work my own way. And so Voila: I made this card up before the video using the Celebratory Sips Designer paper (see all the links below) and here it is opened up (little difficult to photograph!) So this is the bit that's obscured above! Then in the video this is the card I made up, this time using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper (again links below) and the middle..... as you can see I used a bit more of the designer paper to cut out and add to the middle sections and again the obscured bit Links for products R...

Something Saturday - Elastic Bands

 Hi there Creators

Yep I'm using elastic bands to stamp with this week!  Actually you can get some really cool patterns for your backgrounds by twisting rubber bands round your clear blocks and using them to stamp.

It's quite a short video this week, and I don't finish off the cards so here they are for you to check out....

this is the one I had made up to begin with using the really cute Sale-a-Bration set  Hippest Hippos, I've coloured in the little ballerina with Stampin' Blends , and it really makes her pop out of the page!  I've also used the Decorative Circle Punch to punch her out.

HIppest Hippos, Stampin' Up!
The other 2 cards were an "either/or" situation as I ended up double siding them with pattern, so this is the side I chose for this one, and it the blue streaks reminded me of ice, so I couldn't resist using this Snow Crystal Stamp (have to admit it's one of my favourites at the moment!)
Snow Crystal, Stampin' Up!

 

This one was also stamped on both sides, but I really liked the grungy look of this side, so I paired it up with these lovely bold words from Biggest Wish stamp set (one of my "go to" stamp sets when I'm looking for some useful words), and as I didn't want to overstate things with embellishments I chose the Classic Matte Dots (nicely understated!)😉

Biggest Wish, Stampin' Up!

Let me know if you have a go, and if you feel like sharing I'd love to see your creations 😊

If you missed the video here it is:

I hope this inspires you to create

God Bless love
