Something Saturday - Louvre Windows Card

Image
 Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show you how to create this Louvre Windows card (little bit of trivia, did you know Louvres were invented back in the middle ages around 1500 years ago?, they were made of wood and put on pitched roofs to let out smoke, and increase circulation)😃 Anyway moving on.... I saw these kind of cards at the Picture to Page show, and of course the company selling them had dies to cut out all the components, but I figured I could make it work my own way. And so Voila: I made this card up before the video using the Celebratory Sips Designer paper (see all the links below) and here it is opened up (little difficult to photograph!) So this is the bit that's obscured above! Then in the video this is the card I made up, this time using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper (again links below) and the middle..... as you can see I used a bit more of the designer paper to cut out and add to the middle sections and again the obscured bit Links for products R...

Something Saturday - Expressions of Kindness Kit

 Hi there Creators

Today I thought I'd break open a new kit - Expressions of Kindness. Oh my goodness this kit is absolutely gorgeous! I love that the most beautiful card base is actually double sided and has the pattern on the back as well as the front (very handy if you're happy to cut it in 1/2 and pop it on spare card bases, so you can make way more than the kit is intended for!)  It also comes with a mini stamp pad and stamp set, bonus! 😃

these are the 2 card styles that the kit officially makes:  Oh and how gorgeous are the matching envelopes?!💖

then I cut one of the (more beautiful) cards in 1/2, the front of the card has the gold foiling on the front of it, I'm a bit partial to gold! 🤣  I didn't change much with it, I just used the ribbon flat across the card, rather than folded up behind the saying, and gold heat embossed the saying.

Then the reverse side doesn't have the gold foiling.  I had to trim the card down to fit on the base card, so I decided to add a portion of the side along the bottom, and used a spot of gold heat embossing for the saying again 😍

I am quite sure there's so much more you can do with this kit, I did see someone had cut up the pieces and used them in a scrapbook too (that's very clever!)

However, if you missed my video, and want to find out what my references to "hairy beard stamp" are.....


I hope this inspires you to create too.

God Bless love
