 Hi There Creators Before I forget, there is an AMAZING special on this month, not only are the new catalogue (and new Online Products) live, but there is a joining special, pick out $303 of goodies but only pay $169!!  Ask me if you're interested and want to know more, or if you know you want to take the plunge, click here: Join Heather's Team. Today I thought I'd play around with a spot of bleach stamping, then decided to throw white into the mix too, it's interesting what a difference it makes, I like both!  Bleach is fascinating when it reacts with different cardstocks (interestingly didn't work on our black cardstock at all!)  I used Pecan Pie card . To create these cards I also needed:  Stazon Black Ink Pad     white Craft Ink   You are Remarkable Stamp set    And bleach (in my case domestos 🤣)  Oh and a pointy paintbrush First up you stamp using Stazon (because it stays on! - in particular with bleach and waterbased compone...

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.....

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

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

 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...

GDP #261

 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...
