Something Saturday - Bendy Floating Window Card

-
Image
Hi there Creators,  I saw a version of this card online pretty sure it was Lisa Curcio over in the States, I have simplified it right down (my husband says conserving cardstock and being economical) 🤣 She had used 4 pieces of A6 Cardstock to create hers, mine only uses one, plus the designer paper, embellishments and a couple of white strips for the back to write on. Anyway here are the ones I created: This first one uses Sweet Jar bundle  (stamps & punch), also the new Regals Designer Series papers , and the Spotlight on Nature Dies (although when I cut the circle I wasn't really thinking about the fact the pretty bit is on the inside 🤦‍♀️) The card I made in the video uses the ever so pretty Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper, then paired up with the new Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and matching Extraordinary flora bundle .  Oh my goodness you're going to want to get those!  I've attached the saying in the same way with a strip of matchi...

Something Saturday - A Million Thanks Kit

-
Image
 Hi There Creators, Well we're on the last week of August and the kits are still discounted, so I promise I'll move away from kits next week, but this "Million Thanks" is a lovely kit (currently this month reduced to $31.20 from $39), and you'll see you don't just have to stick to the kit!, especially as there are some extra bits in it, and you do get a stamp set & mini ink pad to continue creating with. (just think with a few different kits you'd end up with a few different ink pad colours, and a heap of stamps!), and Kits really are an amazing way to have a self-contained crafting session. Anyway on with the photographic evidence.....  here are the 3 cards types you make with this kit (which incidentally creates officially 9 cards)  As you can see they have clear embossing on them so the surface is shiny in places. I have also created this one using one of the spare labels and the piece that the heart pushes out from, then stamped using the little f...

Something Saturday - Cozy & Bright

-
Image
 Hi there Creators As August is Kit'tastic month (ie kits are reduced)  I figured it was high time to hop on and show off one of my latest kits, so here we go.. It's a Christmas kit called Cozy & Bright , I have liked the look of this kit for a while and did end up getting it for free at our recent Creative Collaborations Team event (woo hoo!) Discovered once I opened it in the video that it actually does 12 cards, which at the discounted August price of $32.80 is actually a bit of a bargain, especially as it includes an ink stampin spot, a stamp set and a block! Anyway I'm sure you're way more interested in seeing the creations that having me waffle! this is the main card the kit creates: then I cut one of the cards up to create 2 more cards.... This first one I've fussy cut out some of the greenery, then used some gilded leafing on the background (which is the back of the card cut down) I've added a layer of gold foil cardstock underneath.  to see all I...

Something Saturday - Magic Slider Card

-
Image
 Hi There Creators, Today I'm showing how I make a magic slider card, here is the original one I made up using the Bright & Beautiful Suite :   with the stamps I've used my Brights Stampin' Write Marker s to create the rainbow effect by colouring directly onto the stamps, then you huff on the stamp to put moisture back onto it, then stamp it. Then this is the one I made up in the video using the Online Exclusive Trucking Along Bundle , so cool, it's a punch and stamp set.   I've used the Gold Celebrations Specialty Designer Series "paper" I'd call it acetate!  as I thought it was kind of fun having the printed acetate instead of plain, and there's a bonus that one side is gold and the other is silver 😊  I've also stamped directly onto the Herringbone Ribbon , I love that you can do that with this ribbon as it's quite smooth, and wide. I promised the measurements on here, so here goes, you'll need: A 1/2 piece of A4 (cut lengthways...

Something Saturday - Corner Fold Pop Out card

-
Image
 Hi there Creators,  well today is an original design by me, I've called it "Corner Fold Pop Out Card".  Last weekend was our big Multi-team weekend Creative Connections event, and I was doing a presentation on the Bright & Beautiful suite , and taught this card at the end. In our video today I've used the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper which is the same one I was using in my Something Saturday card last week.  I love that is has a Vanilla Base colour rather than white - gives my white cardstock a bit of a rest! 😁  Anyway let's show you the photos then instructions after.... So this is the card I taught at the Creative Connections event:   One of my friends suggested I should decorate the front of the card, so the one I did in the video now has this on the front of it:  Then when you open it up, the daisies pop out, I felt this paper went well with the Cheerful Daisies Dies, so I've used the dies to die cut direct from the Designer Paper ...
