Something Saturday - Fancy Fold Card

Image
 Hi There Creators Today I'm showing you how to make the card that Paula (Yellow Bear Stamping) was showing off when we were together in New Zealand (couple of weeks ago in my video) see the video here: Live Video with Paula I have no idea if it has a special name, she found it on Connie Stewarts blog (from USA), so now I'm borrowing it and changing it (as I do....)  see my measurements down the bottom. Here is the "original style" card that I made: (click the links to see the products) This one uses Nested Essentials Dies , Courage & Faith Stamps , and Timeless Plaid Designer Paper on a backing cardstock of Pebbled Path (I'm going to be so sad to see that colour go when the In colours retire in May!) then in the video I (kind of) made this one: which uses Wildly Flowering Designer Paper , the same dies ( Nested Essentials) , and a new Stamp set: Tags of Thanks . then I made my sideways revised version....  for this I've used the rather lovely Everyday H...

Something Saturday - Cool Altered Gift

 Hi there Creators,

Not sure about you, but sometimes I find odd things in Charity shops that I think oooo I could do something with that, so of course it comes home with me, and goes in the craft room with an aim to do something with it, months later I remember about it.....

I found a couple of chunky wooden sayings, quite a while ago, and finally got round to doing something with them!

My something is to attach designer paper to them to make them look prettier (and not so white)  First up though we explored the "intricacies" of the Take your pick tool, I have to admit there is so much to love about this tool and there's a few extra options you might not know about:  Here are the links to check them out: Take your pick tool to begin with, then if you run out of putty (although you get 2 with the tool itself there is the Take your pick Putty refills.  But wait there's more.... there's the Take your Pick Die Brush Tip (with a special mat) and last but not least the Take your pick Crafter Tips, which gives you 2 special tips & blades.

Anyway on to the show & tell part, here's the one I show how to do in the video:  I have used the gorgeous Regal Winter Designer Series paper for this which happily has been reduced from $21.75 down to $19.57, having said that it's only while stocks last, so get yours now if you want it!

The other one I created the other day is this one, which the recipient now has! and uses the gorgeous Perennial Lavender Designer Series paper.
