Something Saturday - Hooray for Honeycomb Kit

Image
 Hi there Creators, Today I thought we'd take a look at one of the new Kits that Stampin' Up! has brought out, it's really fun!, the name "honeycomb" kind of gives it away🤣 There are 9 cards to create, and it's a nice simple kit, would make an excellent gift for anyone who is thinking of starting off with card-making, there's no stamping involved - it's all "stick it together" and everything is included to do this.  At $32 it works out to $3.56 per card (which let's face it is pretty cheap for a card these days!) So here are the cards you can make (3 of each): Don't you just love the matching envelopes? The front of each card has clear embossed shiny bits on it (most obvious on the rainbow card at the top! with my photography) And there you have it, I haven't had the chance to play around and see what else I can create with this kit yet, so if you get it and do play around, let me know what you do! If you missed the video here it

Something Saturday - Rainbow shaker glitter card

First up cut the big rainbow out of white cardstock (I used 10cm x 14.5cm) colour the cut pieces (I used my Stampin' Blends - alcohol markers to get a even graded look) lay (don't stick) the die cut white piece over your base card and slot in the coloured pieces, gluing them in place then rem

Easy Shaker Card with tutorial

 Hi there Creators, Thought I could inspire you (and give me a break from home-schooling) with an Easy Shaker Card (with video tutorial), I've always had a spot of bother with shaker cards where the shaker'y bits stick to the glue round the outside and then don't move at all (not a good look for a shaker card lol).  So with this in mind I've tended to steer away from them, however.... bless them Stampin' Up! have bought out Shaker frames , and a couple of cute stamp sets to go with them!  The stamp sets are: Still Scenes and Zoo Globe , and the dies that match are called Snow Globe Scenes dies (click on the links to check them out!) Whilst I haven't used the "proper" stamp sets with these cards, I have made cards with them in the past, I've found a photo of one of them, using the Zoo Globe, the lady I made it for is keen on Giraffes, don't think I've shared it before as I didn't want to spoil the surprise! However that card was not qui
