Something Saturday - Citrus Blooms

 Hi There Creators Today I thought it would be fun to try out a technique I haven't done in ages - Paper Tole, using the new Citrus Blooms stamp set and dies.  Every so often I come across a stamp set that inspires me to do a spot of Paper Tole'ing, and this one has lots of dimension to it perfect for this technique. To those of you who are saying "Paper Tole-what-ing?"  Paper Tole is a way of taking a picture and literally adding dimension by having several images of the same picture a and cutting out the various parts of it and laying them up, so the picture literally builds up and gives a 3D type image. I thought it would make a beautiful framed piece (and a nice gift for a friend) - let me know what you think.... I did team it up with the fabulous sayings from Unbounded Love Stamp set (the dies that go with this stamp set are a must have!)   Then to create shiny bits I've added some of the fine tip glue pen which dries shiny clear😍 I also said in the video I&

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
