Something Saturday - Mixed Media Florals

Image
 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...

Something Saturday - 3D Star Cards

 Hi there Creators

In class the other day Rose mentioned she'd seen this card on Facebook or Youtube from a lady called Dee Slater, and showed me a photo of it, and explained briefly how to make it, she then sent me through a few measurements (all inches) and if you know me, I'm an A4 metric girl, so conversion time.... (actually not very difficult this time)

And Voila.....

and of course the back view....

So that is the card I made in the video using the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper, I kind of like that I was able to keep the pattern going all the way round.  Then I happened to have one of the Decorative Tree Dies cut out from the Festive Glimmer Paper (bonus, love it when things are just hanging around my craft desk and they come in handy!)

Then I kept the fun going, and decided to make an 8 pointed star card.... (this one is the shorter size) This time I used the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper.

The mechanism part for attaching the front & back pieces:



Right, so, measurements as promised

If you are making the 6 pointed larger card that ends up A6 sized and fits nicely into a C6 envelope:

  • 6 pieces of A6 cardstock (ie 10.5cm x 14.8cm) each one scored at: 2.5cm, 5cm, 7.5cm and 10cm
  • 12 pieces of a plain colour card 2cm x 14.5cm
  • 12 pieces of Designer Paper 1.5cm x 14cm
  • 2 mechanism pieces 6cm x 1cm, scored at cm, 2cm, 4cm and 5cm
  • a decorative piece for the front
  • a piece for the back to write on I used a plain colour 10.5cm x 7.4cm, then white piece 9.9cm x 7cm (both cut exactly from a piece of A4)
If you're making the 8 point smaller card you'll need:
  • 8 pieces of 10.5cm x 9.9cm, scored at 2.3cm, 4.6cm, 6.9cm and 9.2cm
  • 16 pieces of plain colour card: 10cm x 3/4" (yes I know breaking the metric rule! 🤣)
  • 16 pieces of Designer Paper 4" x 1/2"
  • 2 mechanism pieces as above
  • decorative piece for the front
  • smaller pieces for the back I used: 8cm x 5.7cm, and white 7.5cm x 5.2cm (although I think that's because I happened to find both those sizes precut!)

And that's it!  If you missed the video here it is:


I hope this inspires you to have a go too!

God Bless love
