Something Saturday - Designer Paper Card

Hi there Creators

Today I wanted to create something that would show off both sides of the Designer Paper, I'd seen a design I liked, but of course in typical Heather style it didn't turn out the way I'd seen 🤣 Having said that I'm really happy with it, I've used the Mediterranean Blooms Paper, and YAY the Citrus Blooms dies actually cut out some of the paper (gotta love that!)

There is currently a special 10% off sale on the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machines, and also an extra 10% off on some of the Stamp & Die bundles (so you'll get 20% off as they already have 10% off them - if that makes sense)

So here is the card closed

Then as you open it up, you get to see the next layer of designer paper, and the inside of the designer Paper that is the outside cover.

Just realised I forgot to take a photo of the inside/inside bit lol, but when you lift the flap you see the lemons on the underside of the navy paper (you can see the pattern that was folded over at the bottom.

So..... to create this card I took 

• the outside sheet of Designer Series Paper (DSP for short) cut down to 6", then scored at 4" and 8", then the front 2 flaps cut on a diagonal to a matching point up on each side (my point was about 2" up)
  
• A 3 7/8"  x 12" piece of DSP for the middle bit, folded in 1/2 at 6"
  
• a 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of white cardstock to go inside the above piece (for writing on)

The inside DSP gets attached in the middle of the trifold DSP, then I folded up a section on the bottom to see the other side of the DSP (mine is about 1").  

I also folded the outer flaps on the tri-fold DSP over to display both sides of the paper from the front

Then I decorated up with some pieces of the DSP cut out with the matching dies.

I hope this inspires you to have a go too

June Class Cards

 Hi there Creators,

Just a quick plug, if you're reading this and it's still May, there is an AMAZING joining offer, check it out here: Join Heather's Team

I have June's cards worked out, and ready to go 😁  there's a heap of new goodies in this line up.  Class dates are: 

• Tues 4th at 12.30pm (or as close to that as possible) in Laanecoorie, 
• Thursday 6th at 7pm in Laanecoorie, and 
• Saturday 8th at 10.30am in Maryborough.
  

Let's get to it, here are the cards and what I've used:

This first one uses one of the Online only embossing folders Fun Patterns, and some of the Countryside Inn Designer Paper, which has been around since last year too (so lovely it stayed!)  And also the Something Fancy Stamp set (also a keeper from last year, I love this particular saying!)

Next up is the Citrus Blooms Bundle, this was on my list because of the amazing dies! (plus we have an orange tree in our back garden)

Then the So Swirly Embossing folder (which incidentally is A5 sized!, it's feels so big🤣)  Oh and the Simply Said Stamp set, such a useful one with handy sayings.

Then last but not least this fun card using the Round we Go Bundle (and who can resist the new In Colour Glimmer Paper?)

 

I hope you can come and join us, do let me know if you plan to, as the space is limited in my classroom, and if you can't join in, I hope these inspire you to create.

God Bless love

Something Saturday - Citrus Blooms

 Hi There Creators

Today I thought it would be fun to try out a technique I haven't done in ages - Paper Tole, using the new Citrus Blooms stamp set and dies.  Every so often I come across a stamp set that inspires me to do a spot of Paper Tole'ing, and this one has lots of dimension to it perfect for this technique.

To those of you who are saying "Paper Tole-what-ing?"  Paper Tole is a way of taking a picture and literally adding dimension by having several images of the same picture a and cutting out the various parts of it and laying them up, so the picture literally builds up and gives a 3D type image.

I thought it would make a beautiful framed piece (and a nice gift for a friend) - let me know what you think....

I did team it up with the fabulous sayings from Unbounded Love Stamp set (the dies that go with this stamp set are a must have!)

  Then to create shiny bits I've added some of the fine tip glue pen which dries shiny clear😍

I also said in the video I'd see what else I could make up with the set, so here we go..... (and of course I had to use some of the new In Colours)

How fabulous are these dies!?  I love that as it cuts out the outside piece you get the great dotted inner piece!

you can just about see the Wink Of Stella I used on the leaves in this close up (looks so much better in person!)

Anyway if you missed the video here it is:

I hope this inspires you to create (and look at your layer'ish stamp sets in a new way!)😁

God Bless love
