Something Saturday - Corner Fold Pop Out card

 Hi there Creators, 

well today is an original design by me, I've called it "Corner Fold Pop Out Card".  Last weekend was our big Multi-team weekend Creative Connections event, and I was doing a presentation on the Bright & Beautiful suite, and taught this card at the end.

In our video today I've used the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper which is the same one I was using in my Something Saturday card last week.  I love that is has a Vanilla Base colour rather than white - gives my white cardstock a bit of a rest! 😁

 Anyway let's show you the photos then instructions after....

So this is the card I taught at the Creative Connections event:

 

One of my friends suggested I should decorate the front of the card, so the one I did in the video now has this on the front of it: 

Then when you open it up, the daisies pop out, I felt this paper went well with the Cheerful Daisies Dies, so I've used the dies to die cut direct from the Designer Paper

 

And you really need to decorate both sides of the pop out element, hence another bunch of daisies on this side too as the piece isn't symmetrical, I've just added the second lot on the wrong way round (if that makes sense!)

 

 

Ok, so how to make this card you will need 

• your usual A5 base card folded in 1/2 at 10.5cm, then folded in 1/2 the other way at 7.4cm
• you'll also need 4 pieces of DSP measuring 2 3/4" x 4"
• Piece of window sheeting (acetate) 1 1/2"x 3"
  
• And decorative elements 

Take the base card and use a bone scorer to fold it and crease the lines well (fold both folds inwards)

Along the bottom edge measure 7.4cm out from the middle on both sides, and mark lightly with a pencil.  

Score from the pencil mark to the middle cross of your card, so you end up with a triangle at the bottom (see photo)

you will need to mountain fold the triangle at the bottom.  Before you add the window sheeting in you need to decorate it with the rectangles of Designer Paper

so imagine this next one has the Designer paper on it too, then sandwich the window sheeting into it and stick it well! (window sheeting coloured red here so you can see it)

Then decorate it up, word of warning - make sure when it folds up it will fit into your envelope, and also remember to decorate both sides of the window sheet.

I hope this inspires you to have a go at this, if you do, let me know how it turns out!

Something Saturday - Double Window Shutter Card

 Hi there Creators

today I'm showing how to make a card I'm calling a double window shutter card, as I'm not sure where I saw it (if I did I may have just dreampt it up!, or what it was called if I did see it somewhere and it had a name!)

Anyway I doubt very much mine would be the same as anyone else's (I'm like that!)

So here's my original one I created, I've used the Sea Turtles stamp set to make this one:

this time I decided to use the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper, I love that it has a vanilla background to it and gives my white cardstock a rest!

I've added the Cheerful Daisies Dies, and used the Distressed Gold Specialty paper for the inside pieces of the flowers, I've deliberately left the other side without stamping, as I'm not quite sure who I'm giving it to yet!

If you missed the video here it is:

I hope this inspires you to have a go too!

God Bless love
