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....

3D Star Card, Stampin' Up!, 3D card, fancy fold

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.

and back....

And then just so you can see them both together.....

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

    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...

What's New?

  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...

Hi there Creators, I have worked out our class cards for May now woo hoo!   Class dates are:  Tuesday 7th at 1.30pm in Laanecoorie, Thursday 9th at 7pm in Laanecoorie, and Saturday 11th at 10.30am in Maryborough.  Class cost is $24 for 4 cards with envelopes.  It's important to book your place if you're coming to Laanecoorie as space is limited. Here are the cards we'll be creating: Using the beautiful Unbounded Love Bundle and Layers of Beauty (I've only used the stamp set here, but Oh My Goodness the bundle is so worth it!), also showcasing some of the new colours: Shy Shamrock and Peach Pie (guess which is which 🤣) Then back in time a little as this was in the mini catalogue (if you want it, buy it now before the end of the month while it's still a bundle price with 10% off it!)  Ice Cream Swirl Bundle (stamps & dies)  again showcasing one of the "new" colours, although Pretty in Pink is actually an old colour with a come-back! Moving onto t...
