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!) If you watched the video you'll know that I accidentally added glue to the wrong side of my designer paper, so I ended up making this card with ...

Something Saturday - Diagonal Cut Card x 2

Image
Hi there Creators, I received a gorgeous card from Lee-Allan (one of my Stampin' Up! downline), and I loved the layout of it, so she gave me permission to "case" is Case stand for "Copy and Share Everything". Before I get going, I forgot to mention in the video, there is an amazing joining special for the month of May, where you can get the usual $235 of goodies for $169, but ALSO you get the New In Colour: Ink Pads, Stampin' Write Markers, Designer Paper, and A4 papers I think it worked out to $124 of extra goodies for free!!  if you want to find out more let me know, or go here:  Join Heather's Team Here is her card:  How gorgeous is this using the new Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper ? Having inspected it thoroughly (as you do), I decided actually if I'm making one, then it really needs to be 2 (which is possibly what you're meant to do!)  read on for my measurements....... Then I did a trial run myself with some old retired Designer...

Something Saturday - Cascading Pleated Fold Card

Image
 Hi There Creators, I promised when I was showing off my swap cards from OnStage that I'd work out how to create a couple of cards I received. So, here we go, I have discovered they're called Cascading Pleated Fold Cards! (good start) Here are my 2 cards I made using this technique, I figured I could have a go at both landscape and portrait cards. 😍 The first one is made using the absolutely gorgeous Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper . It took a bit of cutting to get it right as I wanted each scene in front to echo the scene behind, but I think I got it! Then the card I made up in the video ended up like this, I've used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper (which is happily continuing onto the next catalogue!), and the Ice Cream Swirl Bundle (again continuing on)   Although Sam (Mr 13 year old) did ask what flavour ice-cream is that meant to be?  I said Chocolate & Boysenberry (Hummm, Ok Mum....) 🤣 Anyway on to the measurements.... I worked o...

Something Saturday - Meandering Meadows Mini Cards

Image
 Hi there Creators, Today I'm showing you how to create 5 really cute mini cards with a single sheet of this gorgeous Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper (it's an Online Exclusive, in case you're wondering why you haven't seen it in the catalogue) - check the link out to see it! In the catalogue are these cute 3" square mini envelopes (I rediscovered mine the other day) hence this post came about. 😃 Sometimes you just want a mini card to go with something! First things first, let's show you the cards, then give you the measurements, and the video The first set I made up before the video are these ones: bear in mind that there is a different design on both sides of the paper, I've also used the Adhesive Backed Dragonflies & Birds , they actually remind me of the Brushed Brass Butterflies that are in the annual catalogue (which I use a fair bit)  I've also used the Double Oval Punch (bit of a favourite punch - such a handy size)!  The Circle ...
