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...

Something Saturday - Watercolouring Part 2: Watercolour Lifting

-

 Hi there Creators, Well today I've continued on with the watercoloured pieces I produced last Saturday and now I'm showing off "Watercolour Lifting"  I don't recall trying this before, but the basic jist of it is: Create a watercoloured background and let dry completely Stamp over top using versamark dust over with clear embossing powder & heat set it spray water over and blot off to remove some of the colour, until the clear embossed images stand out (the colour under the embossed image will remain "full strength") And that's it in a nutshell, here are the 2 cards I created using the watercoloured backgrounds I created last week:  This first one uses Natures Prints Stamps to create the collage of leaves in the background, then I've used the Celebrating You stamps for the sayings in both cards, then this one I also used the gorgeous Iridescent Pastel Pearls (very pretty!)   Then this is the one I made up in the video, and I finally found a ...

Something Saturday - Joseph's Coat

-
Image
Hi Creators,  A friend mentioned recently seeing someone doing this technique and suggested I did it as a video, it's one of my favourite techniques although I haven't done it for ages, and I hadn't done it since we had Blending Brushes, Oh my goodness it's a game changer - so much easier! It's called Josephs coat for relatively obvious reasons - that you get a beautiful multi-coloured pattern. Anyway on to the photos, here is the one I created in the video, I'm quite impressed with how it turned out, as I really couldn't see where I'd stamped so I was kind of guessing 🤣  I forgot to use my embossing buddy hence the lighter areas where the embossing powder stuck to the cardstock, all in all though I'm happy with it. And my finished card, I decided to minimise the bits that the excess embossing powder stuck to by popping some vellum over the top, it allows the pattern to show through, and I've heat embossed the saying with white powder.  Oh, the ...

Using A Fish and a Wish Bundle (Stamps and Punch) No new colours in this one, just some lovely brights. Along with the beautiful bright Glossy Dots Assortment.  Check out all the goodies I used here:   What Heather Used I thought I should use a stamp set that has had very little use (at least out of my stamp sets)  In the Moment Stamp Set , I've done a spot of P...
