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, 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...

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, Well today I thought we'd check out something from the new catalogue, which will be live in just a few days (7th Jan). I saw the Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack in the catalogue and thought they looked lovely, and yes they really are gorgeous! (link prob won't work till 7th) Anyway in the video I show off all the cards in the pack, and mention that I am doing share packs for various things in the new catalogue (Designer Paper, Ephemera Packs, Embellishments, Ribbons and this Memories & More) See more details at the end or send me a message. And here are the cards I made up using the Basic White Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes : This firs one uses one of the larger cards, a couple of stickers, the stamp set "simply said" for the saying and some of the pretty Riverside Irregular Pearls . Then this card is a small one, using the same stamp set "Simply Said" , a sticker and some more of the Riversid...
Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is: I hope this inspires you to create one t...
Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done) So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work? anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol) I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours. The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper ! I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...
