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...

Fancy Fold Dangly Card

Hi there Creators, 

Today we're looking at a fancy fold card, that I really don't know if I've seen it somewhere, but I do know I went to make something completely different and this is what happened......🤣

Here are the cards I've made: (measurements as promised in the video, below)

This is the first card I made up you can see the dangly "Happy Birthday" in the middle.

An aerial view....

And the card I made in the video

On to the measurements:

You'll need a sheet of A4 cardstock, some designer paper and another coloured card to mat the designer paper, 2 bits of twine around 13cm each, 2 stamped sayings and a punch or die to cut them out to an appropriate size.

  • cut the A4 card down to A5, and fold in 1/2 at 10.5cm, then fold both sides back (at 5.25cm), so it looks like both cards are concertina'd (top card I used Smoky Slate, bottom card Very Vanilla)
  • Take one of these and cut the smallest circle into the middle of it I've used the Deckled Circles Dies numbers 7, 8 and 9 (from the middle out)
  • cut the largest circle (9) from the "mat" card
  • cut the middle circle from designer paper
  • cut 4 pieces of "mat" card to 4.5cm x 14cm (top card I used Misty Moonlight, bottom card is Gold foil sheets)
  • cut 4 pieces of Designer paper to 1 1/2" x 5 1/4" (top card I used Countryside Inn, bottom card Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper
  • Oh and I used the Simply Elegant Trim for the twine bit, such handy stringy stuff! 🤣

If you missed the video, here it is:


 I hope this inspires you to create, and let me know if you have a go!

God Bless love
