Something Saturday - Louvre Windows Card

Image
 Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show you how to create this Louvre Windows card (little bit of trivia, did you know Louvres were invented back in the middle ages around 1500 years ago?, they were made of wood and put on pitched roofs to let out smoke, and increase circulation)😃 Anyway moving on.... I saw these kind of cards at the Picture to Page show, and of course the company selling them had dies to cut out all the components, but I figured I could make it work my own way. And so Voila: I made this card up before the video using the Celebratory Sips Designer paper (see all the links below) and here it is opened up (little difficult to photograph!) So this is the bit that's obscured above! Then in the video this is the card I made up, this time using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper (again links below) and the middle..... as you can see I used a bit more of the designer paper to cut out and add to the middle sections and again the obscured bit Links for products R...

Something Saturday - Using Stampin' Up!'s New Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper

 Hi there Creators

Today I have BLING 😍 in the form of the new Online Exclusive Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper (check it out through the link) It comes in Gold and Silver - one sheet of each (12x12") in the pack, and Oh my goodness, you're going to want some!  As a demo I got to order it early (having said that I was away in England when it arrived, so haven't been able to play till now)

BUT guess what?  This month (October) Stampin' Up! have an amazing Joining special, so you too could pick up goodies before they're available to general public (and much more).  Check the deal out here:  Join My Team.

Anyway on with the bling, Oh I mean blog.....

Here are the cards I create from the pieces I make in the video 

Here is the first one that I'd created before the video

Stampin' Up!', Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper, Handcrafted elements dies


I use the Handcrafted Elements Dies, Joy to You stamp set and the beautiful Silver & White Sheer ribbon, as well as the amazing new glimmer paper!  in the video I show how I take the middle out (relatively easily) so I can make 2 cards out of the one cut. (not quite so easy to describe!)

The other one's I made up into smaller 1/2 sized Thank you cards, as it's sometimes really handy to have a small card to add into a package (when Tom sells something on facebook and it's being mailed out I like to add a little thanks, but I always feel like a proper sized card is a bit of an overkill 🤨)  The first 2 have the leaves up, which is what I felt was the right way up.

until I tried the leaves the other way up and now I'm not sure which way is right🤣 I kind of like them coming down
