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...

Something Saturday Windmill Fields dies

Image
 Hi there Creators well as I mentioned last week I thought I'd have a go with the dies this week!  I love the way you can get the windmill vanes to spin - took a little bit of playing with but I got there in the end. Here is the finished article... How cool eh? I'm also quite partial to the cute little bike lol.  as the windmill vanes are quite delicate, I've doubled up the cardstock layer for it, and also strengthened the middle with some window sheeting. As I picked Balmy Blue card for the base, it meant I could add fluffy white clouds on top, using the cloud dies as stencils and using the White Craft Ink, then using some scrap paper to create a line I've added granny apple green below for some grass. To see what I've used, click this link:  What Heather Used And here is the video:  I hope this inspires you to create God Bless love Heather xox

Something Saturday - Tulip Fields

Image
 Hi there Creators, well finally the Tulip Fields came off the ship and into stock.... and then out to me! Today in my video I showed the Tulip Fields Bundle, and then only used the stamp set to create a quick and easy card.  However I did figure I could use the dies next Saturday, so come back again to find out what I do with the dies! However today's video, in one of our Stampin' Up! events one of the demos used this set, and showed us how to line up the perspective Tulip fields Here is the card I created: I have to admit if I was making again, I think I'd stamp the windmill first, as I stamped it after the tulips and it kind of "floated" above them, hence the line of blue border flowers! Anyway lining up the triangles is quite easy, stamp the long double one first, to create the "horizon", then the middle one, then 2 more either side - lets face it how many times do you see flowers really precise?, so I reckon we can get away with it being "close...
