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...

What we did at Coffee&Cards Class

Image
Hi there, thought I'd share with you the creations we made at my Coffee&Cards Class in Dunolly on 23rd. I'm having a bit of a thing with small cards at the moment lol, so I thought what better than to showcase the Notecards and Envelopes that have been around for ages, also the Narrow Notecards and Envelopes (which are currently in the Occasions catalogue and will be moving into the new Annual Catalogue) and also the little 3x3 envelopes, which fit small cards, you can get 6 of them out of a piece of A4 cardstock. Anyway I'm pretty sure you didn't come here to hear me waffle on, so onto the cards! So this first one is the one using the Vanilla Notecards and envelopes, (at only 53c per notecard and envelope they're very economical, and very handy to not have to cut and score you're own!) we also used one of the gorgeous Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers , just cut in 1/2 and the ladies loved that they are really stickers so just peel off the backing!  You ...

Eureka Stamper challenge day 7

Image
Hi everyone, Yep that's it made it to the final day! Day 7's brief was "It's World Card-Making Day" make a card and send it! Thankfully I had my Saturday class in the morning, as Saturday was a bit chaotic then I ended up with a migraine in the evening, so by then I wasn't up to much at all! However at my class I did end up completing one card, and one of the ladies who loves this particular colour hadn't been able to make it due to being sick, so I sent it off to her.  Later I read the challenge for the day, and thought Yay already done it! So this is the card I sent her (might look a touch familar if you're a regular reader of my blog!) I did replace the "enjoy today" with "hello"  This card uses the Leaf punch , which I have daubed colour (lemonlime twist) onto, pressing harder and lighter to create the varied look.  The saying is from Eastern Beauty stamp set , Then the main image in Rich Razzleberry is from Floral Phras...

Hi Everyone, Wow isn't the year travelling fast!! Tomorrow is May, so here are the cards I'll be teaching in my classes, The dates are: Wednesday 3rd May 10.30am (meant to be in Bendigo, but the venue we usually use is unavailable, so it will be in my classroom for those who fancy the trip out), Saturday 6th May in Maryborough at 10am, and Wednesday 10th May at 7.30pm (my classroom in Laanecoorie)  Do let me know if you'd like to join in any of the classes :) first card uses the Watercolour Wings Stamp set , and the Bold Butterfly Framelits (on the retiring list), if you have the stamp set, but not the framelits, I recommend that you get on and purchase them quickly before they run out! Next up is this pretty flower from "You've Got This" stamp set , also a peek at one of the new In Colours, Lemon Lime Twist!, I think it looks so fresh, and a bit of Clear Wink of Stella over the flower I thought I should use up some of my favourite Designer Series Pa...
