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 August classes

Image
 Hi there Creators, Well isn't August sneaking up on us fast!  We're back to our usual 3 classes in August: Wed 3rd at 10.30am (Laanecoorie), Thursday 4th 7pm (Laanecoorie) and Saturday 6th 10.30am (Maryborough). $20 for the 4 cards - You need to book for Laanecoorie, Maryborough you can just turn up, (although it's nice for me to know approx numbers) I hope you can come and join us (more the merrier!) Anyway on to the cards for the month...... First up I'm using the fabulous Wonderful World (we only have till the end of August to use it, so I thought I'd better!)  It's a Sale-a-Bration set, and combined with the designer papers you need to spend $180 to get both the stamps and papers for free (no other way to get them 😢)  Combined with the Decorative Circle Punch , and the gorgeous Sequins & Gems (that seriously look all like gems rather than sequins! - so pretty!) Moving on to more "prettiness" if that's a word - if not I'm going with i...

Something Saturday - Elastic Bands

Image
 Hi there Creators Yep I'm using elastic bands to stamp with this week!  Actually you can get some really cool patterns for your backgrounds by twisting rubber bands round your clear blocks and using them to stamp. It's quite a short video this week, and I don't finish off the cards so here they are for you to check out.... this is the one I had made up to begin with using the really cute Sale-a-Bration set  Hippest Hippos , I've coloured in the little ballerina with Stampin' Blends , and it really makes her pop out of the page!  I've also used the Decorative Circle Punch to punch her out. The other 2 cards were an "either/or" situation as I ended up double siding them with pattern, so this is the side I chose for this one, and it the blue streaks reminded me of ice, so I couldn't resist using this Snow Crystal Stamp (have to admit it's one of my favourites at the moment!)   This one was also stamped on both sides, but I really liked the grun...

Something Saturday -Snow Crystal Stamp 3 colour heat embossed

Image
 Hi there Creators, In my video this week I show how to pop 3 different embossing powders onto this gorgeous Snow Crystal (159821 $37) stamp set. Here are the cards I have made up after the video with the embossed pieces: I decided the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Specialty paper went really well with it, so the first has the rose gold and the 2nd has the gold.  I've picked out a a saying from Trees for Sale (159785 $39), which also goes with the "Tree Lot" dies (a Sale-a-bration set you can get for free when you purchase $180)  I  might try and show this off next week actually, as it's got a really cute caravan in it too, umm stay tuned...... You'll notice these also have a pretty little sequin in the middle too, this is from the new Adhesive Backed Sequins and Gems (159972 $13.25)  I have to say that the sequins look more like gems, and I thought they were till I went to pick one off the backing! Oh and, to do the saying, as it is all on one line, I have "...
