Something Saturday - Christmas Favours Boxes

  Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show off these little Christmas Favours Boxes.  Rose came to class the other day with one and I forgot to take photos, but I think this is pretty similar, so cute! The link to all the products used can be found here:  Christmas Boxes products used (if you're reading this let me know if this makes it easier to see the products used, I usually put up individual links for everything but thought I'd try something new, and potentially easier!) Anyway onto the photos..... the front: The lift up flap at the front The Back And I wanted to show off the gorgeous little "Low Profile Sparkle Dots", not sure if it really shows up as well as it could I've just realised in all the photos you don't really see the box! That's ironic! so here's one of the box! Right now I can give you the measurements for the box! Really simple: 12cm x 12cm, then score in each side by 4cm. then cut as shown: fold in the flaps and glue togethe...

Something Saturday - Cascading Pleated Fold Card

-

 Hi There Creators,

I promised when I was showing off my swap cards from OnStage that I'd work out how to create a couple of cards I received.

So, here we go, I have discovered they're called Cascading Pleated Fold Cards! (good start)

Here are my 2 cards I made using this technique, I figured I could have a go at both landscape and portrait cards. 😍

The first one is made using the absolutely gorgeous Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper. It took a bit of cutting to get it right as I wanted each scene in front to echo the scene behind, but I think I got it!

Then the card I made up in the video ended up like this, I've used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper (which is happily continuing onto the next catalogue!), and the Ice Cream Swirl Bundle (again continuing on)   Although Sam (Mr 13 year old) did ask what flavour ice-cream is that meant to be?  I said Chocolate & Boysenberry (Hummm, Ok Mum....) 🤣
Fancy Fold Card, Stampin' Up!, Ice Cream Swirl Bundle

Anyway on to the measurements....

I worked out that you take your base card, and fold the front of it evenly into 4, 

In the case of my ice cream card, we have an A5 sheet scored and folded at 2.6cm, 5.2cm, 7.8cm, 10.4cm, and concertina these.

Then measure down 2 equal measurements on the "front" of the card that you have concertina'd

I used 2.5cm and 5cm. then you cut the steps.

Then you'll need 2 "mats" for the front 2 step pieces I used 12.3cm x 8cm and 9.7cm x 5.5cm.  Then you can add mats/DSP to the top of this I measured 7mm less for my next mats.

I have a kind of "mud map" of it (this is for the landscape version, but they should be the same concept.)

Cascading Pleated Fold Card Landscape

As you can see for my landscape version I've cut the A4 card in 1/2 length-ways then scored the front at 3.7cm, 7.4cm, 11.1cm and 14.8cm

Then my steps are at 7.4cm and 4.3cm (which should be exactly 3.1cm down and 6.2cm down) (in theory) you can get away with 4.5cm, as I've written down, but it's not exactly 2 equal measurements that way.

I then have mats for the front 2 step pieces as 7.4cm x 10.5cm and 4.3cm x 7cm, and again then add another mat to the top of these 7mm shorter.

If you missed the video, here it is:

I hope you have a go too, and this inspires you to create

God Bless love

GDP #261

 Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done)   So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently  I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work?  anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol)  I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours.  The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper !  I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

 Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper  Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is:  I hope this inspires you to create one t...
