Something Saturday - Triangle Fancy Fold Cards

Image
 Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show off  how to create one of the sets of cards I taught at Craft Alive. If you would like a kit, I do have a few spare left over, so please ask me, I've reduced them down to $20 per kit and you do get full instructions for 4 cards, plus all the "ingredients" to create them and extra cardstock 😃 The Turtles Kit is this one (this is made in the same way as the Fancy Fold Wings Card that you can find the video to here:  https://youtu.be/UdOBtXuOHno Then the Triangle cards that we're concentrating on today..... I promised in my video to share the measurements with you for these 2 cards, so here goes....... Supplies & links see below Measurements : Card 1: (Long orange card) White Card base 9.9cm x 29.7cm, scored at 9.9cm increments then diagonally as shown Lemon Lime Twist 9cm x 9cm (need 3 of these) cut diagonally Designer Paper 3” x 3” (need 3 of these) cut diagonally Designer paper strips 4” x ½” (need 2 of th...

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, 

God Bless love
