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 - Let's play with the Ephemera & Card Packs

 Hi there Creators, 

This year Stampin' Up! have made a big deal of these ephemera packs (pronounced EFF-EM-ER-RA) and I did wonder what the heck it meant, so courtesy of Google: Ephemera: Something of no lasting significance. usually used in plural. 2. ephemera plural : paper items (such as posters, broadsides, and tickets) that were originally meant to be discarded after use but have since become collectibles.

Umm doesn't really sound that momentous 🤣  Anyway, check out the Ephemera packs with this link 

And there are 2 sets of cards & envelopes: Sunny Springs, and Calming Creek.

If you have a catalogue you'll find them on page 19, with a great stamp set too, but, as you'll see you can make this work without ink or a stamp in sight......

I may have sunk my teeth into all of the packs (and both sets of cards)😁  I had so much fun creating with these (which really surprised me).  As one of the ladies I was chatting to about them said, "they'd make a fabulous gift for someone!"  And considering the packs only cost $14 each, it's not a huge outlay either.

Here's what I came up with so far:  Oh and I couldn't resist adding some bling, I went simple with the Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I love that you can make any type of card from these packs (obviously the Fully Flowering pack is kind of girly 🤣)  I mentioned last week that my July Mega class would be using the Attention Shoppers Stamp set and Labelled with Love Punch, well one of the other important inclusions will also be a 1/2 pack of the Something for Everyone Ephemera pack.

Check out my video to see all the packs properly

 


I hope this inspires you to get some and have a play too!

God Bless love
