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 - 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 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
