Something Saturday - Brightest Birthday Kit

Image
  Hi there Creators Today we're checking out one of the new kits, I have to say WOW!, maybe it's the holographic blingy bits (ooooo bling....🤣)  if you're a regular reader of my blog or watch my YouTube or Facebook channels then you'll know I can't resist bling.  Anyway check out the kit here: Brightest Birthday Kit And here are the cards it makes.... oh and their matching (also blingy) envelopes. Then you'll notice on the first card with the balloons it has a box that has the holographic outline, which is actually a sticker, so in the video I show you how to get the sticker off and onto a separate piece of card without having to pick it off and re-piece it yourself. And this is the card I made with it:  I probably should have used the same Azure Afternoon colour, but I had this piece of Shy Shamrock hanging around my desk, so chose to use that instead, and seeing as the star stamp hadn't been used I figured I should put it into action.  Its not a bad littl...

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.
