Something Saturday - Fancy Fold Card I created for BackStage

 Hi there Creators,

As I mentioned in the video, this card I designed for my Backstage Fancy Fold swap.  As my roomie liked it I ended up giving her my original card, I figured I've made it at least 10x how hard can it be to make another one? 🤣  Apparently when you give yourself a break from making them it takes a bit to get back into it! (take heed of my mistakes in the video, so you create your own ones😃).  I haven't got round to naming this fold, maybe V Bouquet?  what do you think? let me know if you have any ideas.

I wanted to give people something that was totally original, and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, this was the inside of the one I gave away (not dis-similar to the one I produce in the video)  Probably the video one was a little simpler.  I've used the So Swirly Embossing Folder (which I didn't in the video, but it does add a little "something"), The Charming Day bundle, which sadly is on the Last Chance list, however if you're quick you might be able to get the Charming Day Stamp set, and charming Day Dies at discounted prices (cheaper than the bundle price $59.20 vs $91.75 😮)  and the stamp set in the background is Layers of Beauty (Oh Soooo worth it, I've used this stamp/dies/mask set so much)

Moving on to the images from the card I made in the video.....  I completely forgot to add flowers in the background until I'd stuck it down (oops!)  learn from my mistakes🤣

then the underside you so you can see the fold lines....

And the "top side"  gee now I'm thinking Steak..🥩

Oh and I'd better show you the front, which is deliberately plain-ish, as the inside is so fancy

Well, now..... how to make the inside of this, it's actually not as complicated as it looks, you take a piece of 19.5cm x 10cm thick white card, fold in 1/2 at 9.5cm, then score diagonal but parallel lines to create the V shapes, mine are spaced 1/2" apart for the 1st 3 score lines then the last one is 1" lower than the other one. 

fold the lines both ways so it's easier to persuade them to fold in the direction you need them to, then it's kind of a case of concertina'ing them to create the mountains & valleys folds, clear as mud?

Watch the video here:

Well I really hope you have a go at this, it's really not as hard as it looks! probably the hardest part is working out where to put your flowers so they don't stick out the sides too much

Let me know if you have a go, and I hope this inspires you to create.

God Bless love

June Class Cards

 Hi there Creators,

Just a quick plug, if you're reading this and it's still May, there is an AMAZING joining offer, check it out here: Join Heather's Team

I have June's cards worked out, and ready to go 😁  there's a heap of new goodies in this line up.  Class dates are: 

• Tues 4th at 12.30pm (or as close to that as possible) in Laanecoorie, 
• Thursday 6th at 7pm in Laanecoorie, and 
• Saturday 8th at 10.30am in Maryborough.
  

Let's get to it, here are the cards and what I've used:

This first one uses one of the Online only embossing folders Fun Patterns, and some of the Countryside Inn Designer Paper, which has been around since last year too (so lovely it stayed!)  And also the Something Fancy Stamp set (also a keeper from last year, I love this particular saying!)

Next up is the Citrus Blooms Bundle, this was on my list because of the amazing dies! (plus we have an orange tree in our back garden)

Then the So Swirly Embossing folder (which incidentally is A5 sized!, it's feels so big🤣)  Oh and the Simply Said Stamp set, such a useful one with handy sayings.

Then last but not least this fun card using the Round we Go Bundle (and who can resist the new In Colour Glimmer Paper?)

 

I hope you can come and join us, do let me know if you plan to, as the space is limited in my classroom, and if you can't join in, I hope these inspire you to create.

God Bless love
