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...

Cards for November Classes

Image
 Hi There Creators Well we're getting closer to November so thought I'd better share the cards we'll be creating at classes on Tues 5th 1.30pm in Laanecoorie, Thursday 7th 7pm Laanecoorie and Saturday 9th 10.30am Maryborough😃 In the class you'll create all 4 cards for $24 (and have a fabulous social time!) So, here goes, as it's November we're up to 3 Christmas Cards. This is the only Non-Christmassy one, Oh my goodness how gorgeous is this paper?! This is the Regal Winter Designer Series Paper , which goes so beautifully with this Blackberry Bliss & Gold Ribbon , and the Spotlight on Nature Dies , which are possibly the most useful dies I have Now we're onto a clear run of Christmas Cards.  I love this look, where it looks like you're looking up in the middle of a forest, I've used a stamp from the fabulous Christmas Wishes Kit, for the saying and the trees are from Peaceful Evergreens . Next up is this rather cute tree from the Decorative Tre...

Something Saturday - Amazing Trifold Card

Image
 Hi There Creators I saw this really cool card on a Facebook reel, it was done so quickly, that when I came to try it it took me an awful lot of rewinds to get it right 🤣  So I figured I could do it a little slower to show you all how to make it too.  Here are the photos of the cards I created: The first card I used the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper , so pretty! Then the card I made in the video uses Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper with Pebbled Path Cardstock, I think it looks really elegant!  I ended up making it into a sympathy card, as my Step Dad passed away, so I needed a lovely card to send to my Mum (hope she likes it!)  I love the way the bird freeze goes through the panels of the card. And now for the measurements..... the way I made it in my video: (this is the metric version I worked out) You will need a base card (A5) scored in 1/2 at 10.5cm, then trim 5cm off one side (so you only have a 1/2 flap at the front) Next you need the "mec...
