Something Saturday - Bendy Floating Window Card

Image
Hi there Creators,  I saw a version of this card online pretty sure it was Lisa Curcio over in the States, I have simplified it right down (my husband says conserving cardstock and being economical) 🤣 She had used 4 pieces of A6 Cardstock to create hers, mine only uses one, plus the designer paper, embellishments and a couple of white strips for the back to write on. Anyway here are the ones I created: This first one uses Sweet Jar bundle  (stamps & punch), also the new Regals Designer Series papers , and the Spotlight on Nature Dies (although when I cut the circle I wasn't really thinking about the fact the pretty bit is on the inside 🤦‍♀️) The card I made in the video uses the ever so pretty Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper, then paired up with the new Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and matching Extraordinary flora bundle .  Oh my goodness you're going to want to get those!  I've attached the saying in the same way with a strip of matchi...

Something Saturday - Inchie equivalent card for those with an A4 Brain!

Hi there Creators,

Well today I thought I'd have a go at an "inchie" card, only mine (unsurprisingly for me) aren't inchies!

The idea behind it is that you have inch squares, which get attached to a background paper (which has been scored up before hand so you have lines to attach your inchies to, and embossed with an embossing folder, which then deletes the score lines.

However, as you have to cut your base card down to create an inchie card, I decided to do things "my way" hence "equivalent for an A4 brain"

Here are the 2 Inchie cards I received the first one from Simone my up-line as a swap at the Stampin' Up!event. She's used the beautiful vibrant Flowering Zinnias designer series paper and the second from Lee-Allan one of my down-line (which uses some paper that now I need to buy 🤣) check it out for yourself:  Natures Sweetness Designer Series Paper

then I got onto creating one - my size using retired Designer Papers (you can never have enough Christmas cards in May 🤣)

and here's the one I create in the video using the gorgeous Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, Ooooo so pretty!  Oh and check out my new stamp set: Simply Said, great selection of useful sayings!

then in the video I have a real dilemma of whether I should put my rectangles on straight or not, so I couldn't resist making one skewiff 🤣 (knew spell check wasn't going to like that word)  I really like the effect and I've brushed over top of it to make the embossing stand out better (used one of the Basics 3D embossing folders)

 Anyway I promised the measurements I've used, so here goes.....

My small rectangles are 3cm x 2.5cm (you need 6 each of 2 designs)

An A5 base card the front measures 10.5cm x 14.8cm

A mat to go onto the base card: 14.5cm x 10cm

A mat for the rectangles to sit on: 14cm x 9.5cm.   This is then scored round the edges at 5mm in, then scored at the 1/2 way mark of 7cm, and up from the bottom by 3.5cm.

The score lines give you easy grid lines to add the rectangles onto so they're straight.

Once they're stuck down, you then run it through (ideally a busy looking) embossing folder, which then removes the score lines, and voila all done.

If you missed the video here it is:


I hope this inspires you to have a go too!

God Bless love
