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 - Light the Candles Kit

 Hi there Creators,

Today I thought I'd show off another new Kit I received although the kit isn't new, I have only just got round to buying it😁  Gee Stampin' Up! make some beautiful kits!  This one Light the Candles is one that contains ink and a stamp set too, so you can really go to town and make extra cards with a little bit of extra cardstock.

Here are the cards the kit actually makes: the candles are lovely and glittery (I don't think it shows up well in the photos)

This kit only makes up 2 different cards, but you get 4 of each so 8 cards in total, and as the purchase price for the kit is $33 it would make the cards $4.13 each, but wait.....

You can split up the candles from the top card..... and because both base cards have the pattern on the front and back you can split them up too, add your own base cards and voila!

the only things I added that weren't from the kit were the base cards (thick basic white cardstock used), and the bling, I've used some of the gorgeous In Colour Opal Rounds, which are kind of similar to the bling in the kit, only prettier colours.  As I explain right at the end of the video, I've cut down the front of the green patterned and orange patterned card and turned it over to get the little white strips for the saying and strip across the card.

Let me know if you have this kit and if you made extra cards with it (if you don't have it - what are you waiting for?

If you missed the video here it is:



I hope this inspires you to create something different from your kits

God Bless love
