Something Saturday - Waterfall PopCorn Card

Image
 Hi there Creators I was scrolling through Facebook the other day and came across a short with a simple Waterfall Card on it, and realised, hey I haven't done one of those in ages!  this is nice and simple (in theory, although towards the end of the video, I had to do a bit of adjustment! I ended up making a second card with only 5 waterfall pieces rather than the original 8, and it seems to work better (plus I didn't have to think up another 3 windows for it🤣  I've photographed them side by side, so you can see each window..... Now for the measurements, for the Popcorn Card you'll need:  And if you want to see the goodies I used click this link: Popcorn Waterfall Card 8 pieces of 7cm x 7cm (colour) 8 pieces of 6cm x 6cm (white) strip 2cm x 14cm 7cm x length of A4 (29.8cm), scored at 7cm, 8, 9,10,11,12, 13 and 14cm For the "Not 29 Anymore" Card you'll need: And if you want to see the goodies I used click this link: Not 29 Waterfall Card 5 pieces of 3...

Something Saturday - Reverse Stamping

Image
  Hi there Creators I thought I'd do a spot of reverse stamping this week, there's a really lovely stamp set: Elegantly Said, that has this cute little die that looks like 1/2 a butterfly, so if you know how to reverse stamp you can create the butterfly quite easily.  In the video I show creating the pink butterflies, I've then added the Pool Party Butterflies and the large flourish in the corners is also reverse stamped for the upper corner.  check out what I used here:  What Heather used This next card uses the Boughs & Blossoms stamp set, the leaves only go in one direction and as it's not a photopolymer set I can't bend them in the other direction, so reverse stamping allows me to get them to wave their way across the page (they'd make a pretty good wreath I reckon if you kept stamping them round!)  check out what I used for this card here: What Heather Used  Anyway, nitty gritty, how do you do this?  Easy peasy, stamp your main image 1/2 stren...

Card Class for October

Image
 Hi there, All going well we should be having this class on 6th October in my classroom, I've based the class around the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper, and as there's quite a bit of stamping involved it is an in-person class, however there will be a new postal class coming soon (stay tuned....) Anyway here are the cards, and at the bottom I'll add links which show you exactly what I've used for each card: This first one I wanted to show both sides of the designer paper, as it's so pretty! then I've used the Enjoy the moment stamp set to stamp the seed pods (haven't used this set much) The second card I've gone with the Daisy Lane Stamp set and matching Medium Daisy Punch (again a stamp set I haven't used in a while!) 3rd card is such a wintry pattern (and of course being English, wintry patterns remind me of Christmas....)  So these 3 trees and saying come from Perfectly Plaid stamp set and the matching Pine Tree Punch. Last but not least...
