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....

Something Saturday - What you can do with the Enamel Effects

Well I've been working on it for a while but finally here it is (a non-exhaustive) compilation of what you can do with the Enamel effects and here is the cute little roundup of bottles:

what you can do with enamel effects, Stampin' Up
 

First up there are 2 Packs of these, one is Metallic and one Pearlized (check them out with the links) they're both packs of 3 and cost $27 for the pack.  NOTE WELL: they are NOT water soluble, as I discovered after allowing some to dry on my silicone mat!  A couple of factors seem to change drying time, temperature (when its colder it seems to take long to dry), and how thick it is applied obviously affects it.  Having said that we used it in class the other day to create dots on our project and the cards were dry by around 15 mins.

 In the video I show off (not in this order):

You can mix them with Isocol to create a spray (looks like a starry night on dark cardstock)

You can squeeze them onto mini glue dots and create your own sizes of pearls with built in sticky backs 😍

you can also write with them!  I recommend shaking the bottle down to the tip first.

and I thought you might like to see the card I made up with the above saying, I fancied making one with the little critter holding the camera in Zoo Crew😁

 I was thinking that it could look good too if you had a large saying and highlighted parts of it with enamel effects.  I'll have a go at that when I'm back home after our holiday.

Anyway if you missed the video here it is:

 


I hope this inspires you to buy some and have a go too!

God Bless love
