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 - Ripped Cards

 Hi there Creators,

today I was mulling over what it would look like if rather than curling the ends like I did to create the scroll cards, I just ripped the cardstock, I rather like the effect and *bonus* you get 2 cards out of one ripping session 🤣 (and let's face it there's a certain satisfaction gained from ripping paper! lol)

Ok so the first 2 cards I'd made before the video, I had ripped kind of "triangles" out.  You'll need 2 pieces of Designer Paper (probably with a smallish pattern would be best), and you attach the ripped off pieces to one and the remainder to the other:

The first card shows the piece that I ripped the bits out of, and the second is the ripped out pieces. I used designer paper and white cardstock that measured 9.5cm x 13.8cm that way I could add a mat if I wanted to of 10cm x 14.3cm (which I did in the second lot of cards)

 I've gone with using the beautiful Hues of Happiness Designer Papers, and my "go to" sayings stamp set - Inspired Thoughts, it's such a handy set!

Then in the video I show off some new goodies I've just received: The Lights Aglow Suite, Oh my goodness! I really need to find time to play with the stamps and dies too lol  anyway, for starters I've used the Lights Aglow specialty papers (oh I love Gold.....)  All the sheets have gold foiling on them, ummmm, the goldfish is coming out in me.  Also used some of the Festive Pearls in both cards, they're really rather pretty, I can see myself using them a lot!  As I mention in the video they're a lot smaller in real life than in print (actually about 1/4 of the size).

Anyway I'm pretty sure you want to see how the cards turned out, I've used the Brightest Glow stamp set, which is in the suite.  I'm going to have to remember this ripped cards technique, I love the way the cards turned out.

I hope this inspires you to create,
