Cards for April Classes

 Hi there Creators

Yay, sharing our cards for my April Classes now, so I don't forget when my Mum is over!

Class dates in April are Friday 4th 1pm in my classroom Laanecoorie, and Saturday 5th at 10.30am at Wattle City Church Maryborough. Don't forget to book your place!

First up we have this card made with the Spring Corners Bundle (it's an Online bundle in case you're wondering where it arrived from!)  I was quite taken with the dies in particular, but of course some of them cut out images, and after having seen these cute little balloons on someone else's card I was hooked!🤣 also used the delicate Blooming pearls, I felt it needed something that wasn't really bold with this set!

Next up We have this card using Birthday Celebration Stamps, and One More Year Stamps, I love using the Brights colours with the One More Year Stamps, I really feel it lends itself to bright and fun!  Inside the card is a surprise saying of " At least you're not as old as you'll be next year" 🤣

3rd Card is this chest, I've used the Tags to Go Dies to create the locked chest, with a key to unlock their wishes 😉 the saying comes from Birthday Celebrations, and the Reindeer Memories Two-tone cardstock (which is reduced and on the last chance list) is embossed with the Dashing Designs 3D embossing Folder and then sanded. Oh also, some Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper in the background!  Thought it might make a good guys card.

Last but not least, is a choice card: (either/or)  As it takes a bit to colour in the turtles and starfish, so I thought that way people can choose their colour scheme and what they want on it!  I've used the Sea Turtles stamp set, Dotted Circles 3D embossing Folder, Labelled with Love punch (or at least 1/2 of it!) and the Tags of Thanks stamps.

And that's it!  I hope you can make it to class but if not I hope these inspire you to create.

God Bless love

Something Saturday - Fancy Fold Card

 Hi There Creators

Today I'm showing you how to make the card that Paula (Yellow Bear Stamping) was showing off when we were together in New Zealand (couple of weeks ago in my video) see the video here: Live Video with Paula

I have no idea if it has a special name, she found it on Connie Stewarts blog (from USA), so now I'm borrowing it and changing it (as I do....)  see my measurements down the bottom.

Here is the "original style" card that I made: (click the links to see the products)

This one uses Nested Essentials Dies, Courage & Faith Stamps, and Timeless Plaid Designer Paper on a backing cardstock of Pebbled Path (I'm going to be so sad to see that colour go when the In colours retire in May!)

then in the video I (kind of) made this one: which uses Wildly Flowering Designer Paper, the same dies (Nested Essentials), and a new Stamp set: Tags of Thanks.

then I made my sideways revised version....  for this I've used the rather lovely Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper, Spotlight on Nature Dies and the same Tags of Thanks stamp set.

I also made this one which I show in the video, but uses a retired Designer Paper, the saying is current though😊 it's from Beautiful Butterflies.

Now for the measurements:

Take your standard A5 sized card, score it in 1/2 at 10.5cm, then each of the sides in 1/2 again (easiest way is 5.25cm in from either side.)

Don't fold the side bits!

Now cut 5cm up a slit from one score line to the next, and repeat on the other side, so you have 2 parallel cut lines in the middle of card that go from the outer score line to the other outer score line. (hopefully that makes sense!, if not watch the video below)

Then you need some Designer paper, I measured it 5 3/4" x 4", and a further piece 5 3/4" x 5cm, see the video for how to cut it, as it's a bit hard to describe! (sorry)

Then you'll need something for your saying to go on I used die cuts but you don't have to

And either a full card to add to the back for the Landscape card or an A6 piece for the back for the portrait card.

If you missed the video here it is:

I hope this inspires you to create

God Bless love
