Something Saturday - Christmas Ephemera

Image
 Hi there Creators, Today I thought I'd show off the new Ephemera/ Mix & Match packs in the new Mini Sept to Dec Catalogue. Yay for Christmassy stuff! In the video I just showed off all the components of each: Christmas Greetings Mix & Match specialty Cards & Envelopes (lovely gold foil on them) Greetings for you Mix & Match Ephemera Pack Joyful Days Memories & More Card Pack Christmas Tags & More 6x6" Mix & Match Specialty Designer Series Paper I also mentioned that I'm happy to do up 1/2 packs of these bundled together.  I have worked out the price to be $40 plus postage if I have to mail it out to you.  Let me know if you are interested in this. Also if you're keen to use these, but lack inspiration, I'll be offering a class (see details below the photos).   For these pictures I have just laid the pieces on top of the base cards, not stuck down, but just to check layouts, I've added a bit of the Real Red Shiny ribbon in the first ...

Something Saturday - Gift Box Card

 Hi there Creators

Today I got inspired by a gorgeous card sent to me, and I have to say my card is nothing like the one I was sent, partly because I used completely different measurements and turned it on it's side, as they say in Thailand, "same same but different" 🤣

So this is how my card turned out:  I've used the new Online paper Marbled Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Oh my goodness isn't it gorgeous?! I've nicked one of the sayings from Sweetest Star Bundle to add to the top, and the fabulous Drusy Embellishments (Oh I really hope they don't retire!)  And I thought this ribbon was still current, oops! (would have used the Cherry Cobbler & Gold ribbon, but I ran out of it.)

In the video I mention that I'll share my measurements with you in my blog, so here goes....

You'll need a coloured base card, cut lengthways, scored at 14.8cm (in the middle) then at one end trim 1cm off each side, and score that side at 3.7vm, 7.4cm, and 11.1cm  (see the mud map)

this then rolls round to form the base "box"  HOWEVER don't do what I did!  
NB: Before you roll this up and stick it down, make sure you add a layer of Designer paper behind it, I used 4" x 14.5cm
then add 2 pieces of Designer Paper to the bottom "Box" 8cm x 3.2cm
Next create the middle "box" this is a piece 6.5cm x 12cm, scored at 3cm, 6cm, and 9cm
You'll need 2 pieces of Designer Paper measuring 6cm x 2.5cm
The top box is 4.5cm x 10cm scored at 2.5cm, 5cm and 7.5cm
And you'll need 2 pieces of Designer Paper measuring 4cm x 2cm
then you'll also want a piece for the bottom of your card to make sure it doesn't tip backwards when it's opened I had a cut off piece after making one of the boxes that is just under 4cm wide, I've then cut it so it sticks out by 1cm at the front and back of the card (about 8cm long)  
I also added the 3 drusy embellishments on the front flap to add a bit of weight just in case, having said that I'm not really sure they do add much weight as they're pretty light🤣  but they do look rather gorgeous!

and pretty much that's it.

If you missed the video here it is, could be handy to watch it to see how I add the components together.

I hope this inspires you to have a go

God Bless love
