Something Saturday - Hooray for Honeycomb Kit

Image
 Hi there Creators, Today I thought we'd take a look at one of the new Kits that Stampin' Up! has brought out, it's really fun!, the name "honeycomb" kind of gives it away🤣 There are 9 cards to create, and it's a nice simple kit, would make an excellent gift for anyone who is thinking of starting off with card-making, there's no stamping involved - it's all "stick it together" and everything is included to do this.  At $32 it works out to $3.56 per card (which let's face it is pretty cheap for a card these days!) So here are the cards you can make (3 of each): Don't you just love the matching envelopes? The front of each card has clear embossed shiny bits on it (most obvious on the rainbow card at the top! with my photography) And there you have it, I haven't had the chance to play around and see what else I can create with this kit yet, so if you get it and do play around, let me know what you do! If you missed the video here it

Something Saturday - Corner Fold Pop Out card

Image
 Hi there Creators,  well today is an original design by me, I've called it "Corner Fold Pop Out Card".  Last weekend was our big Multi-team weekend Creative Connections event, and I was doing a presentation on the Bright & Beautiful suite , and taught this card at the end. In our video today I've used the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper which is the same one I was using in my Something Saturday card last week.  I love that is has a Vanilla Base colour rather than white - gives my white cardstock a bit of a rest! 😁  Anyway let's show you the photos then instructions after.... So this is the card I taught at the Creative Connections event:   One of my friends suggested I should decorate the front of the card, so the one I did in the video now has this on the front of it:  Then when you open it up, the daisies pop out, I felt this paper went well with the Cheerful Daisies Dies, so I've used the dies to die cut direct from the Designer Paper   And yo

Something Saturday - Bendi Cards

Image
 Hi there Creators,  I was deciding what to make for my Tutorial card (I'm part of a global monthly tutorial group called Crafty Collaborations, when you purchase $75+ of goodies from me, I send the whole tutorial of around 35+ projects out as a thank you).  Anyway, I was at the Picture to Page Show and the only stamp set I had with me was the Legendary Ride (motorbikes) with Ready to Ride matching designer papers , so guess what I used 🤣  and here is the card I created..... Anyway I was thinking it would be fun to make another similar card, and that I should do a video on it, so...... here is the card I made for the video I've used the True Beauty Bundle to create it, along with the Abigail Rose Designer Paper, Oh and not forgetting the Delicate Edges Dies! As promised the measurements for the Bendi cards: Take your A4 piece of card, cut it in  1/2 lengthways, then score it in 1/2 at 14.8cm With the front of the card you'll now cut it so you just have a section 5 cm hig

Something Saturday - Explosion card

Image
 Hi there Creators, Today on the back of doing an explosion card with the kids at school for Father's Day, I thought I'd make up one for a video. I've used the gorgeous Abigail Rose Designer Paper , love the soft muted colours, in the video I end up making the innards for 2 cards, so here are the finished cards..... I decided to go nice and simple and let the gorgeous card speak for itself a bit of the Natural finish ribbon, and some of the Iridescent Rhinestones (gee these go with everything!) Then on to the inside of the card, which is what I show how to create in the video, I've used a bit of vellum to pop the saying onto.   To get the colour to stay on the vellum, first I've inked my stamp in Versmark, so the ink will stay wet for long enough, then inked it in my colour (in this case Early Espresso - which turned out pinker than I expected!🤣 (if you ink with colour then ink with versamark you'll end up with ink in your versamark pad!) Then stamped and add

3D Card kit for May 2020

Hi there Creators, A couple of months ago I made up a card for a friend who was having a baby, I used one of my retired sets that I'm still quite fond of I think it's called bookcase builder, I aired it on Facebook and a couple of people said "Ooo I'd love to make that...."  however as it uses retired stock, and I'm not allowed in my Stampin' Up! contract to stamp images for others to use, I've re-vamped it with current dies and embossing folders, and they should work with whatever stamps you have on hand, thought you might like to see my original card first: If you're on my email list, I did elude to the fact that I had made up a couple of 3D cards that I wanted to make into a kit for you, for some reason I keep putting it off, so I'm now "biting the bullet" as it were, and here they are.......(drum roll please......) First up the "Lady's Boudoir" then  "Mens Shed" Both cards fold completely
