Something Saturday - Brightest Birthday Kit

Image
  Hi there Creators Today we're checking out one of the new kits, I have to say WOW!, maybe it's the holographic blingy bits (ooooo bling....🤣)  if you're a regular reader of my blog or watch my YouTube or Facebook channels then you'll know I can't resist bling.  Anyway check out the kit here: Brightest Birthday Kit And here are the cards it makes.... oh and their matching (also blingy) envelopes. Then you'll notice on the first card with the balloons it has a box that has the holographic outline, which is actually a sticker, so in the video I show you how to get the sticker off and onto a separate piece of card without having to pick it off and re-piece it yourself.

Ah well the painting looks good so far, and I'm loving the new carpet! What happened at my second class was one of the ladies brought these lovely wooden wreaths to make hers on instead, so she had a spare and I could just imagine what it would look like with the stars in the middle and some sheer fabric of some sort for them to sit on.  A delve into my fabric cupboard and voila!  I found the gorgeous sheer but patterned fabric, stapled it onto the back of the wreath and away we go..... Ok, well you probably came here to see how the wreath turned out......Ta Da: I have used the Sweete...

Something Saturday - Pop Out Stars card

 Hi there Creators,  Today I'm showing off this card I designed the other day, which has a pop out element with stars on it, and a dangly bit!  The Stars come from Sweetest Star bundle , (I always want to call it chubby Star bundle 🤣)  I've used the Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper , and Peaceful Season Bundle (stamps & dies). The first card I made up with retired Designer Papers to try it out, measurements further down.  Here is the first card: Then the one I make up in the video is this one: And now for the measurements...... You'll need an A4 base card, cut down the middle and scored in 1/2 to create a long card The outside of the card uses for the front Panel A plain colour card 14.3cm x 6cm, then an overlay of Designer Paper 2" x 13.8cm, which has the "Christmas" die cut out of it.
