Thankyou for joining me today, I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, since 2008. My blog will show you how to make cards and projects using Stampin' Up!'s fabulous products. And occasionally random extra stuff (that's the way I roll 🤣) Please do sign up to receive my emails, so you get my latest info.
Hi There Creators, Today I thought I'd show off this new kit I brought the other day, oooo it has gold foiling in it, ummmm💖😍 Christmas Wishes Kit , it contains a stamp set, mini ink pad and stampin' block as well as the cardstock to create 8 cards, although, having said 8 truly if you are economical and prepared to do a spot of cutting and adding more cardstock, then you can double it, as the base cards are the same pattern on each side (woo hoo!) The official 2 cards it makes are these 2: the one saying Merry, Merry, Christmas was actually meant to have 3 "Merry"s on it but in my typical way I changed it 😃 I did discover that inside the cards is this rather lovely gold square frame with leaf, which I thought would look lovely on the front of a card (plus it takes opening up the card before you start to make sure it's on the correct side and the right way up - and I didn't 🤣) So this card came into being, using some of bits I cut off the edges to create

Hi There Creators
I saw this really cool card on a Facebook reel, it was done so quickly, that when I came to try it it took me an awful lot of rewinds to get it right 🤣 So I figured I could do it a little slower to show you all how to make it too. Here are the photos of the cards I created:
Then the card I made in the video uses Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper with Pebbled Path Cardstock, I think it looks really elegant! I ended up making it into a sympathy card, as my Step Dad passed away, so I needed a lovely card to send to my Mum (hope she likes it!) I love the way the bird freeze goes through the panels of the card.
And now for the measurements..... the way I made it in my video:
(this is the metric version I worked out)
You will need a base card (A5) scored in 1/2 at 10.5cm, then trim 5cm off one side (so you only have a 1/2 flap at the front)
Next you need the "mechanism" component this is a 1/2 piece of A4 cut lengthways (10.5cm x 29.7cm), you need to score this at 7cm, 14cm, 21cm and 25.2cm. It folds in an S or 5 shape.
Ok then you'll need the decorative pieces:
For the base card plain cardstock 14.3cm x 10cm, and 14.3cm x 5cm (pretty sure you can work out which goes where!)
Then the mechanism first "mats" are:
4cm x 10cm, 3.7cm x 10cm, four of 6.5cm x 10cm
Then designer paper onto the first 4 mats are:
3.5cm x 9.5cm, 3.2cm x 9.5cm, and two 6cm x 9.5cm
Then you'll also need two plain (in this case white)
6cm x 9.5cm
However if you'd prefer the US measurements (Imperial), this is the measurements from the clip I saw:
Base Card 5.5" x 6.5" score at 4.25"
Mechanism: 3.5" x 10.5" score at 2,3,5.5 and 8"
Mats: Front of Card 2" x 5.25"
Back inside card 4 x 5.25"
Mechanism front strip 3/4" x 3.25"
Mechanism 4 panels 2.25" x 3.25"
If you watched the video you'll know I had a couple of spare pieces I accidentally cut, so I made those into sympathy cards for my Step Dads 2 daughters (again I just think the combination of Pebbled Path and this Designer Paper is so elegant looking!)
If you missed the video, here it is.....
I hope this inspires you to have a go at creating a Tri-fold card, I'd love to see what you make!
Hi there Creators, thought I'd join in this Sale-a-Bration Blog hop today, and I'm excited to see what others have created using the upcoming Sale-a-bration SAB products. For those un-initiated SAB is a special time of year where we have 2 months of FREE Products *YAY*: When you purchase $90 of products you get to pick a free product from the SAB offering, this year is the first year we're going to have 2 SAB's in a year there's another one coming in July too (it'll be different products) *DOUBLE YAY* lol Anyway there were a couple of products that I have to admit I wasn't so keen on, but at the time I was ordering it was a case of pick the stamp set I didn't have as others weren't available, then lots of people seemed to be raving about the Designer Series Paper that I ended up using (again I wasn't so keen on it) However I have a thing about not being beaten by a stamp set, so I was determined to make something of it (especially as I can
Hi there Creators, I've been waiting ages, but finally this stamp set has arrived and it's every bit as cute as I expected it to be! So of course I had to play with it....... First up I stamped all the images using Black Stazon (they come in strips of 3 to match the dies) and cut them out with the big joined together die. Then got to work creating cards with them, I ended up with 5 cards in the end, Oh and I've just realised I forgot to take photos of the insides, bother! This first one didn't get anything on the inside, I stamped the tag up, then debated what I could do to lessen the impact of the white card, and came up with the idea of inking the little label then stamping it a few times without reinking, and repeating till the card was covered sufficiently. I'm quite pleased with the effect I got! This second card is such a fun kid card, you might recognise it from my previous post on Global Design Project #264. I've tied the ribbon at the end, then th
Hi there Creators, Today I'm joining a Crafty Collaborations hop, this is a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all round the world, cool eh? This particular blog hop is What's New? and open to our own interpretation. Sitting out in my craft room I spied the True Love Designer Series Paper that arrived a few days ago, and decided on a spot of colouring in therapy, and the cards started from there..... This Designer Series Paper is black and white, and has some great images to cut out (if you don't mind a bit of fussy cutting) The first card I made with the paper was this one, I've cut the flowers out from one of the sheets of Designer Series Paper, and used Stampin' Blends to colour them in. With this first card I've also used one of the Gold Hoop embellishments which I haven't used before too, I have to say the metal ring is really quite sturdy you can see the Gold Hoop a little more clearly with this photo, I've used a bit of the Gorgeou
