Hi there Creators I saw a quick link thingo of a card on Facebook, and sort of noted what she did - which was really cool, so set about having a go and I have no idea if it's the same as I can't remember what it was called or who had done it, but it worked out well anyway, and now I get to share it with you🤣 So here we are...... You might recognise this one as it's one in my "card conglomerate" of Mega Class cards for 19th July (if you're keen to come to the Mega class or get it as a mail order class, you've got till 2nd July to book your spot) check out the blog post on the class here: July Mega Class Then in the video I made up the "bones" of this card, which I've then stamped up using the Inspiring Imperfections bundle (great stamp set & dies) For the base I've used the Misty Moonlight two-tone cardstock, it's kind of cool as it has the same colour on both sides, just one light and one darker. I've cut this to 9" x ...

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" 🤣
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.
Hi there Creators, Well today I thought we'd check out something from the new catalogue, which will be live in just a few days (7th Jan). I saw the Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack in the catalogue and thought they looked lovely, and yes they really are gorgeous! (link prob won't work till 7th) Anyway in the video I show off all the cards in the pack, and mention that I am doing share packs for various things in the new catalogue (Designer Paper, Ephemera Packs, Embellishments, Ribbons and this Memories & More) See more details at the end or send me a message. And here are the cards I made up using the Basic White Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes : This firs one uses one of the larger cards, a couple of stickers, the stamp set "simply said" for the saying and some of the pretty Riverside Irregular Pearls . Then this card is a small one, using the same stamp set "Simply Said" , a sticker and some more of the Riversid...
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...
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...
