Something Saturday - Triangle Fancy Fold Cards

Image
 Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show off  how to create one of the sets of cards I taught at Craft Alive. If you would like a kit, I do have a few spare left over, so please ask me, I've reduced them down to $20 per kit and you do get full instructions for 4 cards, plus all the "ingredients" to create them and extra cardstock 😃 The Turtles Kit is this one (this is made in the same way as the Fancy Fold Wings Card that you can find the video to here:  https://youtu.be/UdOBtXuOHno Then the Triangle cards that we're concentrating on today.....

Something Saturday - Pop out Concertina Christmas Tree Card

Image
 Hi There Creators Today I'm showing you how to create a card that has a pop-out element in the middle which just happens to be a Christmas tree (surprise, surprise as it's almost Christmas!) I've used the fabulous Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper, which sadly is on the retiring list 😔 Here is the middle of the first card I created before the video: and the outside of the card.....

Something Saturday - A little something with Vellum

 Hi there Creators A friend of mine, when I asked her if there was anything she'd like to see on my videos commented that vellum would be good (how it turns white when pressure is added to it) For those of you who have done Pergamano work you'll know all about this, and Pergamano is all about vellum and the stunning effects you can get with it although it is somewhat painstaking! (it's been quite a few years since I did Pergamano work), however I happy to say there is a much quicker and simpler way to get some really cool effects with vellum 😃 First up, I had (before the video) made up this card, as you can see I've used the Wintry 3D embossing folder to create the snowflakes using vellum, I've actually used the Iridescent rhinestones for the 'bling' but coloured them with the dark Night of Navy Stampin' Blend (bear in mind the Stampin' blends are alcohol based so don't rub off if you use them to colour embellishments or ribbon).  Also if you...
