Something Saturday - Peekaboo Diagonal Cut Card

Image
 Hi there Creators As I mention in the video I was having a bit of a nostalgic wander through my old catalogue (that retired on 6th May) and came across a page that had a couple of fun fold cards.  So here we are today, trying one of them out.....  Theirs is landscape, mine is portrait but the measurements would be pretty similar just having the fold of the card in a different place. Here is mine: as you can see it's kind of a card in a card.  I've used the Celebratory Sips Suite ,  although I confess I haven't used the stamps & dies in this particular card!  The suite has Stamps, dies, 2 embossing folders, bling, ribbon, and Designer paper, all for $138.25 which I think is pretty good! (and just think with the new rewards system, you'll then have $13.80 to spend on your next order - make sure you've opted in!)

Then the little teddy out of the Bookcase Builder Stamp set, and also the saying from Baby Bear Stamp set .  The extra colour I've used is the Si...

Hi Everyone, I hope you've all had a lovely Christmas and that 2017 will turn out to be an amazing year for you 😊 I have worked out my January class class projects (dates for classes are: Saturday 7th January 10am, and Wednesday 11th January 7.30pm which is what I'll be showing you in this blog First up we have: I couldn't resist using this new "Beautiful You" stamp set, I've also used the new Watercolour pencils to colour her in, and cut out with the Flower Medallion punch , the background paper is   Serene Scenery. As the background papers are all different, I thought I'd do another one to show you too: I've done a close up of the writing to show you too as it's not so obvious in this photo, as the area I wanted to put the writing on is quite dark, I've added a layer of white first, but you do have to let it dry properly or it will fade away! So the next card again uses a new set, that I've done a blog post on before f...
