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...

Interactive Class "Book Cards"

Image
Hi there, On 19th June 10.30am and 7.30pm I will be doing my Interactive Class (also available as a mail out class), and this month we are doing "Book Cards"  (mainly with new products *yay*) This first card uses the stunning Stained Glass thinlits, and matching Painted Glass stamp set  then inside you have the Sheet Music Stamp set , and I thought the saying "just a note" from Flourishing Phrases Stamp set (often a "go to" set for me) was rather appropriate lol This second card uses the beautiful "Serene Garden Stamp set" on the inside, It reminded me of the sleeping beauty story book I had as a child  Then on the outside I've used the matching Garden scene framelits, this one is an embossing die (how cool!!), and the smaller dragonfly from Detailed Dragonfly thinlits As I mentioned at the beginning this is available as a class in my classroom on Tuesday 19th June (10.30am or 7.30pm)  for $20 or it is available as a mail o...

Interactive Card Class May - Twirl cards

Image
Hi There!  This month's Interactive Card Class is Twirl Cards, which are really amazing, when you open and close them up they have an element inside that spins around (how fun!) remember this class is a mail out class as well as in person - more details at the end. I have taken photos but they don't really show it well, so also done a short video to show it better, however... photos first!  this first card uses the fabulous Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits , and the sayings are from the matching Dragonfly Dreams stamp set . The next card uses the cute Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper , which is on the retiring list, so if you want more, get it while it's still there! isn't the dog so cute? And now to see them in "Action" check out my short video below. And down to the nitty gritty.... The in person class is on Tuesday 15th May 10.30am and 7.30pm, please book your place by 14th, cost is $20 or the Mail out class is available for $17 incl...

Interactive Cards Class December 2017

Image
Hi Everyone, As promised at the end of the last post, here are the "interactive Cards" I'll be teaching in December, were are doing Double Cascade Cards.  We'll be making 2 of them.  The class cost is $20, and there are 2 classes that day, 10.30am and 7.30pm - do make sure you have booked your place, as there is a limit of 6 in my classroom.  Otherwise you can order a kit from me instructions and pre-cut papers, and I will mail it out to you (let me know) the only thing I can't do with the kits is pre-stamp them (which is only the words) in both these cards. Kits cost $15 with $2 postage. Moving on the first card is this one: this uses the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set , the detailed dragonfly thinlit dies , the Pansy Punch , 1/2" circle punch and the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper .  And the 2nd card is this one: this one uses the gorgeous Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper , Gold, Silver and Champagne foil sheets, Seasonal Layers thinli...

Making the Most of Your Bigshot (creations)

Image
Hi everyone, as promised here are some of the creations I've made up with the techniques I am teaching at the "Making the most of your Bigshot" Class  These first 2 cards show partial embossing techniques, funny thing with this first one, is that I'd chosen the Holly Embossing folder, so then it was blue! Umm wasn't too sure about a blue Christmas card like this, however the holly really isn't appropriate for anything other than Christmas! So I added the Seasonal Bells Stamp set and the Bell Punch .  Then when I was making it I had to grab a new sheet of grid paper for underneath (and I usually reuse the ones from class).  And I have to show you the photo I took as I discovered that I had Christmas sentiment already stamped on the grid paper, it made me laugh, as lets face it April isn't the usual time to create Christmas cards :) so hopefully you can see the sentiment under my card says "Warm heartfelt greetings for a Very Merry Christmas"...
