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 - Natures Paintings Kit

 Hi there Creators,

I was excited to receive this Natures Paintings kit, it's kind of like getting a colouring in book, but using watercolour instead😍

So for the video I picked out one of the designs to colour in and showed off 4 ways to use the watercolour pencils, and water painter that come with the kit. 

The 4 ways are:

  • using the pencils direct to paper, then using the water painter to move the colour around
  • using the water painter to "lick" the colour off the tip of the pencil and colour with it
  • colouring a block onto a scrap bit of paper, and using that as a dry paint block, ie add water and use that to colour with
  • then lastly and my preferred way, is to add a drop of water to a clear block, then scribble the pencil into the drop until it colours it, then paint with this.
I can't show you specifically where I used which technique as they kind of end up looking the same, however as I mentioned in the video I did think I could split the piece into 3 for 3 cards, and voila........

Stampin' Up! Natures Paintings kit

the first one uses the Sweetly Scripted Stamp set in the background, and some of the Adhesive backed dragonflies & birds.

these next 2 use this lovely saying from Layers of Beauty Stamp set.

I'm really happy with the way it cut up so easily to create the 3 cards, the last card uses pieces from both sides of the design, whereas the other 2 use the top section and the bottom section individually.
