Thankyou for joining me today, I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, since 2008. My blog will show you how to make cards and projects using Stampin' Up!'s fabulous products.

Hi there Creators Well I was sitting last night wondering what to do for my Something Saturday, and playing around with a bit of paper, ended up designing this card, I've made similar cards before like the cascade cards, this is probably a bit more basic, but I'm happy with it and it's way simpler to create, but still packs a cool Woah factor🤣 I've used Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper which is on the last chance list. I decided it needed a sentiment so picked out this one from Sweetest Star Stamp set (last chance list again), because it has 6 words (1 for each panel!😃) and these Adhesive backed Snowflake Assortment are also on the last chance list and happen to be reduced to 1/2 price (woo hoo!) Ok, onto measurements.... You'll need a sheet of A4 for the base card, score it at 9.9cm either end, then cut in 1/2 at 10.5cm, fold so each piece is concertina'd into 1/3rd's then each folded piece needs a cut that goes 1/2 way up the card (in the...

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, thought I'd join in this Sale-a-Bration Blog hop today, and I'm excited to see what others have created using the upcoming Sale-a-bration SAB products. For those un-initiated SAB is a special time of year where we have 2 months of FREE Products *YAY*: When you purchase $90 of products you get to pick a free product from the SAB offering, this year is the first year we're going to have 2 SAB's in a year there's another one coming in July too (it'll be different products) *DOUBLE YAY* lol Anyway there were a couple of products that I have to admit I wasn't so keen on, but at the time I was ordering it was a case of pick the stamp set I didn't have as others weren't available, then lots of people seemed to be raving about the Designer Series Paper that I ended up using (again I wasn't so keen on it) However I have a thing about not being beaten by a stamp set, so I was determined to make something of it (especially as I can...
Hi there Creators, Today I'm joining a Crafty Collaborations hop, this is a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all round the world, cool eh? This particular blog hop is What's New? and open to our own interpretation. Sitting out in my craft room I spied the True Love Designer Series Paper that arrived a few days ago, and decided on a spot of colouring in therapy, and the cards started from there..... This Designer Series Paper is black and white, and has some great images to cut out (if you don't mind a bit of fussy cutting) The first card I made with the paper was this one, I've cut the flowers out from one of the sheets of Designer Series Paper, and used Stampin' Blends to colour them in. With this first card I've also used one of the Gold Hoop embellishments which I haven't used before too, I have to say the metal ring is really quite sturdy you can see the Gold Hoop a little more clearly with this photo, I've used a bit of the Gorgeou...
Hi there Creators, I've been waiting ages, but finally this stamp set has arrived and it's every bit as cute as I expected it to be! So of course I had to play with it....... First up I stamped all the images using Black Stazon (they come in strips of 3 to match the dies) and cut them out with the big joined together die. Then got to work creating cards with them, I ended up with 5 cards in the end, Oh and I've just realised I forgot to take photos of the insides, bother! This first one didn't get anything on the inside, I stamped the tag up, then debated what I could do to lessen the impact of the white card, and came up with the idea of inking the little label then stamping it a few times without reinking, and repeating till the card was covered sufficiently. I'm quite pleased with the effect I got! This second card is such a fun kid card, you might recognise it from my previous post on Global Design Project #264. I've tied the ribbon at the end, then th...
