Something Saturday - Click Clack Concertina Card

Image
 Hi there Creators Well I was sitting last night wondering what to do for my Something Saturday, and playing around with a bit of paper, ended up designing this card, I've made similar cards before like the cascade cards, this is probably a bit more basic, but I'm happy with it and it's way simpler to create, but still packs a cool Woah factor🤣  I've used Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper which is on the last chance list. I decided it needed a sentiment so picked out this one from Sweetest Star Stamp set (last chance list again), because it has 6 words (1 for each panel!😃) and these Adhesive backed Snowflake Assortment are also on the last chance list and happen to be reduced to 1/2 price (woo hoo!) Ok, onto measurements.... You'll need a sheet of A4 for the base card, score it at 9.9cm either end, then cut in 1/2 at 10.5cm, fold so each piece is concertina'd into 1/3rd's then each folded piece needs a cut that goes 1/2 way up the card (in the...

Something Saturday - New Saying Thanks Kit

 Hi there Creators

Today we're checking out this new kit that's been released, Oh my gosh it's gorgeous, and I created an extra card using some of the left overs.  And I worked out that the kit is $23 for 9 cards, so each card is only $2.56!!!  and that's not including the left overs and the box itself, what a bargain.

Check out (and maybe purchase) the kit here:  Saying Thanks Kit

Here are the cards I made: The top 3 are directly as the kit tells us to do them, then I get creative with the left overs 😍

there are a heap of little white hearts that get punched out of the 2nd card, so these, I've stacked and glued together to get little 3D hearts, then covered them with versamark and gold heat embossing powder and (carefully) heated them, to melt the embossing powder, I was thinking they'd look really cute on a present, especially with the white twine loops, but chances are by the time I'm wrapping up a presy I'll forget I've got them, so figured they'd better go on a card!

I loved the colours in the other cards, so thought I'd stick to similar ones, and I've used all the 2022-2024 In colour reinkers to create this watercoloured background. Re-inker links are:  Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet, Starry Night, Orchid Oasis, and Tahitian Tide.  To create this effect, I've damped down watercolour paper then inked up my watercolour brush, and dotted the ink around, it then spreads and once it dry's you can use it (so pretty).
