Fancy Fold Dangly Card

Hi there Creators, 

Today we're looking at a fancy fold card, that I really don't know if I've seen it somewhere, but I do know I went to make something completely different and this is what happened......🤣

Here are the cards I've made: (measurements as promised in the video, below)

This is the first card I made up you can see the dangly "Happy Birthday" in the middle.

An aerial view....

And the card I made in the video

On to the measurements:

You'll need a sheet of A4 cardstock, some designer paper and another coloured card to mat the designer paper, 2 bits of twine around 13cm each, 2 stamped sayings and a punch or die to cut them out to an appropriate size.

• cut the A4 card down to A5, and fold in 1/2 at 10.5cm, then fold both sides back (at 5.25cm), so it looks like both cards are concertina'd (top card I used Smoky Slate, bottom card Very Vanilla)
  
• Take one of these and cut the smallest circle into the middle of it I've used the Deckled Circles Dies numbers 7, 8 and 9 (from the middle out)
• cut the largest circle (9) from the "mat" card
• cut the middle circle from designer paper
• cut 4 pieces of "mat" card to 4.5cm x 14cm (top card I used Misty Moonlight, bottom card is Gold foil sheets)
  
• cut 4 pieces of Designer paper to 1 1/2" x 5 1/4" (top card I used Countryside Inn, bottom card Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper
• Oh and I used the Simply Elegant Trim for the twine bit, such handy stringy stuff! 🤣

 I hope this inspires you to create, and let me know if you have a go!

Something Saturday - Budget Make-it-yourself present

 Hi there Creators,

Hands up if you like a cheap, classy looking, hand-made Gift🤣 Oh I'm so glad you asked Heather (I can hear you saying, and would you look at that, Christmas is just round the corner - that's convenient! 😃)

Ok, so I think this is a great little Christmas gift for anyone who has pens or pencils (well that's just about covered everyone!)  All you need is a tin - in my case the cats finally came through with something useful, Aldi Cat food tins (managed to wean them off the expensive Whiskars, shhh don't tell them, the cans are the same colour), some cardstock, and some Designer Paper.

Here goes...... here are the 2 pencil tins I made up, see measurements below

 

Oh and I promised in the video to show you my can opener, it's a Kleva range one, and it leaves a nice rounded edge to the can

Measurements are: (for Aldi Cat can)

Inside and outside plain colour (I recommend using a darker colour for the inside, so pencil/pen marks don't show up so quickly on it)  10.5cm x 24.5cm

Designer Series Paper for the outside 3 3/4" x  9" (I used Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper for the top tin and Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper for the blue bottom tin)

Then the circle for the bottom inside and base of tin I've used the Deckled Circle Dies the one that is 6th from the centre.

I hope this inspires you to dig out your cans and have go too!

God Bless love
