Something Saturday - Impossible Card

Hi there Creators

I figured I'd try my hand at an "impossible" card today (not to be confused with the never ending card🤣)

But, just quickly don't forget to check out the retiring bargains in my Stampin' Up! shop (there's some great reductions!😉)

I think it's called "impossible" due to the fact it is made from one piece of A6 cardstock

I used the gorgeous Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper and the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle (Stamps, dies, embossing folder)  I figured they actually went quite nicely together.

The card I made up and showed in the video is this one:

I wanted a pop of colour hence the butterflies ended up in Berry Burst with some of the lovely Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearls on them

then as I ended up cutting 2 sets of designer Paper I also made up this card , and coloured in the paper using Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers) so I could get graduation of colours.

I reckon you could probably make this card any size you like (although A6 sheet fits nicely in a C6 envelope!)
  So my measurements are as follows:
  • score your card in 1/2 lengthways
  • on one side of the score line find the 1/2 way point and cut down from the edge to the score line
  • on the other side of the score line measure 2 1/2cm in each side and cut from the edge to the score line
  • then twist!
Check out the video to see how it works!


I hope this inspires you to create, and you have a go too
God Bless love
