Something Saturday - Long Time No See

Hi there Creators, Well today I just had to show off this idea I had for my new stamp set: "Long Time No See" (click the link to see it)  I couldn't resist the idea of making the bodies longer, with pull out pieces. This is the one I started in the video all finished:  I've used the Regals Stampin' Write Markers to colour my Alpaca & Christmas Decorations in, and some of my favourite bling; Drusy Adhesive Backed embellishments , Oh they are soooo shiny! 😍 I'm so happy with the way it turned out! Then of course I had to have a play with the sausage dog.....  using the Brights Stampin' Write Markers this time, and the Happy Labels Pick a Punch to create the Ticket look for the sayings I took a couple of "how to" photos as I was making this second card and thought I'd share with you: First up stamp the dog on the top piece of card Then  add some body to him, plus stamp his tail and extra body onto other card, and cut out, then cut a slit a...

Something Saturday - Meandering Meadows Mini Cards

 Hi there Creators,

Today I'm showing you how to create 5 really cute mini cards with a single sheet of this gorgeous Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper (it's an Online Exclusive, in case you're wondering why you haven't seen it in the catalogue) - check the link out to see it!

In the catalogue are these cute 3" square mini envelopes (I rediscovered mine the other day) hence this post came about. 😃 Sometimes you just want a mini card to go with something!

First things first, let's show you the cards, then give you the measurements, and the video

The first set I made up before the video are these ones: bear in mind that there is a different design on both sides of the paper, I've also used the Adhesive Backed Dragonflies & Birds, they actually remind me of the Brushed Brass Butterflies that are in the annual catalogue (which I use a fair bit)  I've also used the Double Oval Punch (bit of a favourite punch - such a handy size)!  The Circle Sayings Stamp set, and Stampin' Write Markers

Then these are the ones I make in the video:  Oh I forgot to say that I used the Adhesive sheets for the card that uses the gilded leafing.

I did use the Stampin' Write Markers, thick ends to colour in the stamps and stamp them, I love the way you get a slightly mottled looking image using them (and the fact that they're such a versatile colouring medium)!  Did you know you can actually pick out certain words/images in the stamp to stamp separately with them, or potentially colour your words/images in many different colours like a rainbow effect?

Anyway I promised to share the card size with you, 

Cut your A4 in 1/2 to make 2 A5 sized pieces, then score down the middle at 7.4cm, and cut into 7cm cards, Voila 3 mini cards out of each A5 sized card. 😁

Then the Designer Paper is cut to 3" squares, then I've cut 5mm off both sides and 5mm off the top or bottom (not both).  This will make the piece the right size for the front of your mini card.  Keep the cut off pieces to create the gold card.

Here's the video in case you missed it:


I hope this inspires you to create

God Bless love
