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.... You'll need a sheet of A4 for the base card, score it at 9.9cm either end, then cut in 1/2 at 10.5cm, fold so each piece is concertina'd into 1/3rd's then each folded piece needs a cut that goes 1/2 way up the card (in the...

Something Saturday - Paper Butterfly Accents

 Hi there Creators

Today we're checking out the beautiful Paper Butterfly Accents, not an expensive item, but soooo pretty!

Have to admit that mine had done a runner, and I was left with the outside bit that you pop the butterflies out from, which was what I had planned to do something with, but nevertheless kind of irritating that I couldn't find the rest of the pack, which of course turned up after I'd done the video, so in fact I could use some of the butterflies in these cards.  So annoying when you search and search, then they turn up where you've already checked 1/2  a dozen times!

However I eventually decided I'd just do the video anyway, as they say in Happy Gilmore, "just play it as it lies"🤣

And here's the first card I created, this one uses the bit you'd usually throw away, as a mask, and I love how it turned out!  I've used daubers to add the colour, as I thought brushes might not work so well, I've also used the Filled with Happiness Stamp set (I did use this recently in one of my Something Saturdays)

Then I thought I should actually use some of the butterflies seeing as I found them🤣 This card I used this photopolymer stamp from Beach Day, and the great thing with long photopolymer stamps is that you can curve them onto the block 😍

And this is how it ended up, used some of the In colour pearls in the corners (initially I just did dots but decided these looked way better!)

then lastly I created this background (if you want to know how, watch next weeks video😉) I left the butterflies white and added a few more of those In colour pearls, and the saying from Heartfelt Hexagon.

I hope this inspires you to create
