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 - 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
