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 - Fancy Fold Planets Card

 Hi there Creators,

We're onto Week 3 of the Designer Paper sale (which goes all of June)  and I'm still kind of stuck on the AMAZING Stargazing Paper (currently on sale for $18.48 from $21.75), it is actually part of a whole suite Stargazing Suite, but the stamp set didn't really appeal to me, however the papers are a different matter......  Oh and check out the Holographic Trio Papers (oh WOW!) having said that I haven't used them in these projects!

Also there's a joining deal on during June too!  you can get an extra $48 on the normal starter kit's amazing value, so that's: Join my team in June and pick $283 of goodies but only pay $169!!  wow!  If you're interested ask me for more details - or if you know you're sure, go here:  Join Heather's team

However I'm guessing you want to see the cards, and get the measurements, so here goes.................. by the way I think they might be called a Reverse bridge fold card, but I wouldn't bet on it 🤣

This is the one I end up making the base of in the video this is the card closed, 

Special Fold Stargazing Card, Stampin' Up!

Then open:
And the one I made before the video:   Closed
Special Fold Stargazing Card, Stampin' Up! 
 Open:
Special Fold Stargazing Card, Stampin' Up!

and now for the measurements: 

you'll need an A5 Thick card (either vanilla or white depending on your designer paper)

Score at: 5.25cm and 7.9cm in both sides, and fold so it kind of forms a bridge effect.

the Mat's you'll need: 

  • 3 of 14.5cm x 5cm
  • 2 of 14.5cm x 2.5cm 
 then for the Designer paper on top of the mats you'll need a piece of Designer paper measuring 5.5cm high and 8" long, you then cut this into chunks in this order:
  • 1 1/2"
  • 3/4"
  •  1 3/4"
  • 3/4"
  • 1 1/2" 
If you cut it in that order your pattern will line up across the front of your card
 
stick it all down and embellish as you want to😁

I hope I've inspired you to have a go too
God Bless love
