Something Saturday - Click Clack Concertina Card

Image
 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...

Cards for April

Image
Hi there Creators, Well almost at the end of March, and so here are the cards I'll be teaching in April.  The class dates are Wednesday 3rd 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 4th at 10.30am and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie, then Saturday 6th at 10am in Maryborough.  Do let me know if you plan to come to one of the classes (and haven't done so already). Best start showing you the cards!  This first one uses the stunning Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder , which is currently a Sale-a-Bration item till the end of March, so spend $90 and you can choose it for FREE! (you can't purchase this one at the moment).  I've also used the Label Me Pretty Stamp set with Matching Pretty Label Punch , and the lovely chunky ribbon is Gray Granite Textured Weave Ribbon .   Card #2, I thought we hadn't used the Stampin' Blends for a while (don't forget if you're using the Blends they are alcohol markers so you need to use memento ink for your ba...

Christmas in July (next months classes)

Image
Hi Everyone, well finally, been meaning to do this for ages! we're going to do Christmas in July classes! This post is for my 4 Cards class, which will be on Saturday 14th July at 10am in Maryborough (school holidays hence pushed back a week)  Then Wednesday 18th July at 10.30am and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie in my classroom. Here are the cards in no particular order, all very traditional Green and Red colours! lets face it when you think of Christmas those are the immediate colours that come to mind!  Alright so this first card uses the new Christmas stamp set "Mistletoe Season", I love the way there is a gap in the mistletoe (or in my case holly - red berries) for the ribbon to sit in, and it is a 2 step stamp set, the greenery has 2 stamps, and the bow is made up of 2 stamps too. Quite like the fun writing font too!  How cute is the snowman with his little bunny peeping out behind?  This is the Seasonal Chums Stamp set, which has been around a while, but I'v...

What's retiring......

Image
Hi Everyone, Oh my goodness I have printed out 6 pages of retiring products! there's a few things I'm really sad to see going! Some are reduced by up to 50%! (but you really best get in quick for those)  I've discovered some things are already sold out :( If you don't have the owl builder punch and always thought you'd get it, get on quick and order one! here he is just peeking out from the inside of the card! it also uses the Hardwood Stamp (not retiring yay!)   Very sad to see Gorgeous Grunge on the retiring list too as that's one I've used a LOT, great for backgrounds! Oh here it is paired with Better than Email (already gone!)  And one more for now, Birthday Fiesta , I loved this little Lama/Alpaca as soon as I saw him the stamp set is on low inventory as we "speak" however the bundle isn't on low: Birthday Fiesta Bundle Yea that Better Together (the wording for Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday in the last 2 cards, is c...
