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 - Brightest Birthday Kit

Image
  Hi there Creators Today we're checking out one of the new kits, I have to say WOW!, maybe it's the holographic blingy bits (ooooo bling....🤣)  if you're a regular reader of my blog or watch my YouTube or Facebook channels then you'll know I can't resist bling.  Anyway check out the kit here: Brightest Birthday Kit And here are the cards it makes.... oh and their matching (also blingy) envelopes. Then you'll notice on the first card with the balloons it has a box that has the holographic outline, which is actually a sticker, so in the video I show you how to get the sticker off and onto a separate piece of card without having to pick it off and re-piece it yourself. And this is the card I made with it:  I probably should have used the same Azure Afternoon colour, but I had this piece of Shy Shamrock hanging around my desk, so chose to use that instead, and seeing as the star stamp hadn't been used I figured I should put it into action.  Its not a bad littl...

Something Saturday - Petal Park Builder Punch

Image
 Hi There Creators I cannot believe it took me this long to get this punch 🤣  Once I started creating with it I actually had to stop myself to get on and do other things!!  If you don't have it I totally recommend getting it!  See this link: Petal Park Builder Punch. So in the video I create kind of 3D flowers using it, by curling the flowers, cutting them to the middle and overlapping one of petals on top of the one beside it, then layering the 3 flowers on top of each other, which looks really pretty..... (had to start with the most complicated 🤣) I also incorporated the beautiful Stamp set " You are Beautiful ", and the Sunny Day Iridescent dots (one of my fav embellishments currently) Then I thought I'd better just use them as they are without the cuts, and created this card And lastly simpler still, no layering the flowers and they still look lovely!  I stuck to the same colours for all 3 cards, the leaves done with Granny Apple Green Ink and the writing...
