Something Saturday - Inchie equivalent card for those with an A4 Brain!

Hi there Creators,

Well today I thought I'd have a go at an "inchie" card, only mine (unsurprisingly for me) aren't inchies!

The idea behind it is that you have inch squares, which get attached to a background paper (which has been scored up before hand so you have lines to attach your inchies to, and embossed with an embossing folder, which then deletes the score lines.

However, as you have to cut your base card down to create an inchie card, I decided to do things "my way" hence "equivalent for an A4 brain"

Here are the 2 Inchie cards I received the first one from Simone my up-line as a swap at the Stampin' Up!event. She's used the beautiful vibrant Flowering Zinnias designer series paper and the second from Lee-Allan one of my down-line (which uses some paper that now I need to buy 🤣) check it out for yourself:  Natures Sweetness Designer Series Paper

then I got onto creating one - my size using retired Designer Papers (you can never have enough Christmas cards in May 🤣)

and here's the one I create in the video using the gorgeous Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, Ooooo so pretty!  Oh and check out my new stamp set: Simply Said, great selection of useful sayings!

then in the video I have a real dilemma of whether I should put my rectangles on straight or not, so I couldn't resist making one skewiff 🤣 (knew spell check wasn't going to like that word)  I really like the effect and I've brushed over top of it to make the embossing stand out better (used one of the Basics 3D embossing folders)
 

 Anyway I promised the measurements I've used, so here goes.....

My small rectangles are 3cm x 2.5cm (you need 6 each of 2 designs)

An A5 base card the front measures 10.5cm x 14.8cm

A mat to go onto the base card: 14.5cm x 10cm

A mat for the rectangles to sit on: 14cm x 9.5cm.   This is then scored round the edges at 5mm in, then scored at the 1/2 way mark of 7cm, and up from the bottom by 3.5cm.

The score lines give you easy grid lines to add the rectangles onto so they're straight.

Once they're stuck down, you then run it through (ideally a busy looking) embossing folder, which then removes the score lines, and voila all done.

If you missed the video here it is:

I hope this inspires you to have a go too!

March Class Cards

 Hi There Creators

Well we're over 1/2 way through February already!, and I feel like I have been ultra organised in getting these cards sorted now🤣

Have you remembered to order enough during Jan & Feb to get any of the free Sale-a-Bration Items?  You get to pick something for free with every $90 of goodies you order, but it only goes till the end of Feb, so check the link out if you want to see the freebees.

Anyway onto the March classes, We make 4 cards for $24, Dates are: 

Laanecoorie: Tues 5th I we're going to give 1.30pm a go, instead of the 2.30pm we did last month (it'll settle down once I've tried it out, and afternoon did work well), then Thursday 7th at 7pm

And in Maryborough Saturday 9th at 10.30am

Here are cards:

First up using Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper and the Beautiful Balloons stamp set (each card should be different depending on the papers you choose😊

Then continuing on with Designer Papers I have this Perennial Lavender Card (so pretty) coupled with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch and Heartfelt stamp set

then on to a watercolour technique that will be coming up as a Something Saturday (ironically on the 9th!) and incorporating the Cheerful Daisies Bundle

and last but not least I scored this stamp set as a Sale-a-Bration item, which is great cos I've been looking at it for ages!  It's the Botanical Layers set paired up with one of my favourite punches (double oval punch)

And that's it!  

If you plan to come to any of the classes (especially the Laanecoorie ones) please make sure you book your place as number in my class room are definitely limited, we can fit way more into the Maryborough class 😍

Hope to see you, and if not, I hope these inspire you to create

God Bless love
