Something Saturday - Triple Ripped Card

Image
Hi there Creators I saw a quick link thingo of a card on Facebook, and sort of noted what she did - which was really cool, so set about having a go and I have no idea if it's the same as I can't remember what it was called or who had done it, but it worked out well anyway, and now I get to share it with you🤣 So here we are...... You might recognise this one as it's one in my "card conglomerate" of Mega Class cards for 19th July (if you're keen to come to the Mega class or get it as a mail order class, you've got till 2nd July to book your spot) check out the blog post on the class here: July Mega Class Then in the video I made up the "bones" of this card, which I've then stamped up using the Inspiring Imperfections bundle (great stamp set & dies) For the base I've used the Misty Moonlight two-tone cardstock, it's kind of cool as it has the same colour on both sides, just one light and one darker.  I've cut this to 9" x ...

Something Saturday - Stampin' Block Watercolouring

Image
 Hi there Creators Today I thought after last week (and the promise in my blog I'd show you how to create the background to the card) that I'd better show you how I created the background to the butterfly card with the bluey/green background. So here goes.... this is the card all finished that I started in the video, figured as I'm on a roll with baby cards for church I'd go for another one 🤣  I've used the Cheerful Daisies Stamp set for the background of the base card and the 3 little flowers in the corner, The colours I used for the watercolouring are Melon Mambo and Gorgeous Grape , Oh and Charming Sentiments Stamp set for the sayings Then I also went on to make this card, which uses Azure Afternoon and Sweet Sorbet for the watercolouring bit, then words from Filled with Happiness stamp set , Trucking Along Stamp se t and Circle sayings stamps for the flowers. So to create this effect all you do is take an E Block , then ink up 1/2 with one colour, the ot...

Something Saturday - Paper Butterfly Accents

Image
 Hi there Creators Today we're checking out the beautiful Paper Butterfly Accents, not an expensive item, but soooo pretty! Have to admit that mine had done a runner, and I was left with the outside bit that you pop the butterflies out from, which was what I had planned to do something with, but nevertheless kind of irritating that I couldn't find the rest of the pack, which of course turned up after I'd done the video, so in fact I could use some of the butterflies in these cards.  So annoying when you search and search, then they turn up where you've already checked 1/2  a dozen times! However I eventually decided I'd just do the video anyway, as they say in Happy Gilmore, "just play it as it lies"🤣 And here's the first card I created, this one uses the bit you'd usually throw away, as a mask, and I love how it turned out!  I've used daubers to add the colour, as I thought brushes might not work so well, I've also used the Filled with H...

Something Saturday - Filled with Happiness Ovals

Image
 Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show you a couple of tricks with the " Filled With Happiness " Stamp Set and Modern Oval Punch .  I'm also using the Water Painters ,and Wink of Stella , and as when you use watercolouring you need an ink that won't move with water, I'm also using Black Stazon for my stamping outlines. Here are the cards I have made up: I made this one up before the video, if you stamp on spare cardstock you can punch out the middle with the Modern Oval punch and layer it up onto your base card. Then I remembered to show how to get just the inside image onto a card (or envelope) and if you punch another oval shape with some of the sticky note paper, you can put that on a card, and just stamp the outside of the stamp. 😉 So then I went on to make this card: combining it with the cute Sale-a-Bration set "Cradled in Love" , which you can pick for free with a $90 order, Woo hoo!  it's only available till end of February as part...
