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 - Amazing Trifold Card

 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:

The first card I used the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper, so pretty!

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!)

I hope this inspires you to have a go at creating a Tri-fold card, I'd love to see what you make!
