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 - It's a Wrap Card

 Hi there Creators, 

Today's video is about an "envelope fold card" but in typical Heather style I had to change it round 🤣

I really wanted to not have to cut/discard any of my 6x6" Designer Paper and to be able to just use it wrapped round the card, with minimal effort.  Admittedly there is a bit of lining up that is required, but generally it's quite simple, and I think the result is worth it, just a little bit different!😁

Anyway enough waffling, here is the card I made before the video:  I used a designer paper that's now retired but the dies are from All That Die set.

As you can see the envelope type flap on the side tucks in under the raised saying

And the back gets decorated up at the same time 😊

Then the card I made up in the video is this one:  I've used the new Bright & Beautiful Papers with matching Beautiful Balloons Bundle (stamps & dies)  I don't know what it is about this bundle/suite that appeals to me so much but I think it's great!

I mention at the beginning you need to line it up, so here's the photo to show you the "lining it up" bit:

If you line up the 6x6" designer paper so the diagonal is level crossways, then lay your card out so the open end 2 corners sit just onto the edge of the designer paper (as you can see in the photo) then you fold over the large flap, and the opposite small flap, so it wraps round your card.  the top and bottom triangles you pencil the line in and chop off the 2 triangles, which then get used on the back of your card.

Then you just need something to tuck the flap under (make sure you put it up on dimensionals)

If you missed the video, here it is....


I hope this inspires you to create 😊

God Bless love
