Something Saturday - Time for Celebration Ephemera Pack

Image
 Hi there Creators Today I'm showing off this Time for Celebration Mix & Match Ephemera Pack because I discovered something really cool...... They're sticky backed!  I totally recommend having your Take Your Pick tool handy for removing the backing.  Here are the links for products I've used in these cards: Sweet Jar Bundle ,  Old Olive Two-Tone Cardstock , Green "Luck" card Beautiful Butterflies stamp set ,   Petal Pink Two-Tone Cardstock  Peachy Hearts Celebrate Card Simply Said Mix & Match Stamp set ,  the Tools card and Disco Ball Card I also added some Rhinestones to the ones in the first 2 photos (let's face it gotta have bling!)💎 Then I got carried away and made a heap more......  I pressed out all the images then put them into piles of things I thought would go well together (Christmas was the easiest pile 🤣)  But it's really cool that there's a bit of everything in the Ephemera. These Christmas cards I used Jar of J...

Something Saturday - Bendy Floating Window Card

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 🤦‍♀️)

Sweet Jar Bundle, Stampin' Up!

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 matching Blueberry Bushel Cardstock

Extraordinary Flora, Stampin' Up!

and just to kind of show you the workings of it:



Ok, so to make this card take a piece of A6 cardstock (10.5cm x 14.8cm), fold in 1/2 lengthways (at 5.25cm) 

Then take a piece of Designer paper, and cut a hole in the middle of it with a die that will allow the element you put into the middle of it to fit well, score a small margin at each side, (and if the card is quite stiff you'll need to use your bone scorer to break the fibers down a bit so it will bend easily)

Attach this down to your A6 card (only attaching the 2 margins)

you'll then need a piece to hold your element as it will need to hide behind your element you'll need to determine the size, but you need to mark the middle of it and fold the 2 ends over a little bit (1/2 cm or 1/4 " will do, attach it down using the folds , and ensuring the middle matches up with the middle of your card

As you fold your card both the designer paper and the piece to hold your mechanism will puff out, lastly add a small line of glue (or use glue dots down the centre of the mechanism piece) and add the element in place

Voila all done 😃

If that was as clear as mud, check out the video here;


I hope this inspires you to create.

God Bless Love
