Something Saturday - Wiper Pop-Up Cars Card

 Hi There Creators

Well, I was shown a photo of one of these cards from one of my class ladies/downline the other day, and then bless her, Chris sent through the instructions for me.  Chris used the version from Dawn's Stamping Thoughts, I have "translated" it into A4 size and instructions, so this is my version (not sure if anyone else has done this too, it's not very hard!)

Anyway I looked at my stamp sets, and Racing By jumped out as one that would be perfect for this!  In the video I promise the measurements, so check those out below, but first the photos.....

So, this is the card closed:

(oh I also used the Happy Labels Pick a Punch for the saying to go on)

then you pull it open, and voila, and extra car appears and takes the lead 😃 (I'm so excited with this! lol)

I then showed hubby, who said, Oh do one with the red car in front and it could be Ben's Birthday card, he has a Mazda 370 Z, which he's quite proud of (and his birthday is fast approaching)

So then this card (in landscape form for a different spin) had to be created...... this time using Peaceful Season dies for the saying to go in (and a sneaky grey car which just happens to be the colour of his brothers car - although totally different type of car)

I'm soooo chuffed with the way these cards turned out!

Anyway on to the measurements for you:

For the Portrait (top card) take a Piece of A5 card, cut it to

14.8cm x 14.5cm

then cut the remaining piece down to 14.5 x 6.5cm 

With both pieces score one end at 2cm and 4cm 

here is my little "mud mappy" thingo:

For the Landscape version, you'll need:

10.5cm x 18.8cm  And 18.8cm x 7cm (sadly doesn't fit into an A5 sheet, but oldest son is worth it🤣)

Again both scored at 2cm and 4cm one end only

For Both, you'll need a mechanism piece, this is 4cm x 1.5cm, and a window sheet piece 4cm x 1cm.

In the video I do this all in black (umm that was clever!)  so you actually can't really see what I'm doing🤣  hence I have recreated it for photos with hopefully something that you can see and understand:

This mechanism piece gets folded at right angles each end to look like this

It then gets flipped over and one triangle attaches to the inside fold of the shorter piece of card, as shown.

Now flap out the mechanism and you'll need to cut a point into the window sheeting (shown here in blue) so it will fit nicely into the triangle in the mechanism.

Attach it in as shown

It should then fold down and in, like this, and the image attaches to the window sheeting (in this case blue card)

Once you've worked that out, you can then put all your card together.

If you missed the video here it is;

I hope this inspires you have a go at making this too, it really is quite simple once you've got the hang of the mechanism piece!  Do show me what you make!

Cards for September Classes

 Hi there Creators

It's that time of the month again where I share with you the cards I'll be teaching in my classes next month.

If you're interested in coming along, make sure you book your spot: Tuesday 3rd at 1.30pm, Thursday 5th at 7pm (both in Laanecoorie) and Saturday 8th at 10.30am in Maryborough.  Cost of $24 for the 4 cards.

Here is the line-up......

first up using the Simply Sparkling Bundle (although not specifically using the dies in this one)  it's a nice light and friendly birthday card.

 

Next up, Friends for Life Bundle is used for this pretty card, love how delicate the heart die cuts are.

Ooo Card #3 uses new goodies! which ironically won't be available to purchase till 6th! (I'm not sure the links will work till then either) however it uses Peaceful Season Bundle (although again I'm not using the specific dies from it) and Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder, also a new ribbon: Shaded Spruce Satin & sheer ribbon, and the lovely Spotlight on Nature dies, which are a series of circles with lovely borders.

And lastly this fun Kids card (or big kid maybe?) using the cute Racing By stamp set, and Deckled Rectangles dies.

 I hope these inspire you to create, don't forget to let me know if you can come along to one of the classes (in particular if you're coming to Tuesday afternoon, make sure you book your spot!)

God Bless love
