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 - Merry Bold & Bright

 Hi there Creators

Today I thought we'd have a play with the cute Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper, I made up this card before the video: For this one I've ended up stamping the sentiment from Joy to You stamp set, then clear heat embossing over the top (if you stamp with a normal ink it will rub straight off vellum, so you have to set it in place).  I did initially stamp directly onto the cardstock, but discovered that the paper is a little bit too busy for that, and it didn't show up, but I love using vellum, as you can still see the images through it (it's like adding a "transparency shape" to a picture in Word, which I also love doing)  How cool is the White Iridescent ribbon?  and you can see the little Iridescent Adhesive backed discs in the corners of the vellum (ooo goldfish..... shiny..... )🤣

Then in the video I end up making a sleeve/wrapping for a couple of blingy gifts I'm sending off to people, very simple, cut the cardstock to the right width, then fold, fold and add a couple of holes for ribbon, voila.....

And I also made a sleeve for a notebook, I buy these ones from KMart to decorate, but this time thought it would be nice to have an extra covering for it - either for the person who receives it to keep the decorated notebook pristine, or just as a way to surprise them about how it's decorated (if that makes sense?)  I did promise measurements, so check those out below.

And here is the notebook all decorated up, the person I have in mind for it is very musical, so I hope this person likes it!  I've used the Joyful Specialty Designer Series Paper with it's beautiful Gold foiling, and then Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper (so pretty)

Joy of Christmas & Joyful DSP, Stampin' Up!

So the measurements for the notebook sleeve are as follows, you need:

  • DSP 9 1/2" x 12"
  • score the long edges at 1/2" in each side
  • Score the short length at 5 3/4" x 6 1/4" which should give you a "spine" in the middle of 1/2"
  • Then trim the 4 short bits in the middle so the cardstock will fold up to create the box like sleeve, and stick it together.
  • You can decorate it up (I added the extra piece I cut off across the middle and a bit of ribbon)

If you missed the video, here it is:

I hope this inspires you for your Christmas gifting 😍

God Bless love
