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 - What's In The Box? New Christmas Catalogue Goodies

-
Image
Hi There Creators, Today I figured it might be fun to show off what I purchased from the upcoming September to December 2024 Mini Catalogue (or as I like to call it the Christmas Catalogue).  If you watch the video you'll see all of my goodies, however I went to town with the Ephemera packs, (of which there are 3) Tags for the Season, Joyful Images and Joyful sayings (they kind of speak for themselves of what's in each!) I've also used the absolutely gorgeous matching Gold Dipped Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes, and here's what I created.....  I did end up adding a bit of the new Cherry Cobbler and Gold ribbon to some of the cards too and I used a stamp from the new Peaceful Season stamp set in the green reindeer card for the saying. Oh and I almost forgot I took a photo of the envelopes so you could check them out too: If you missed the video here it is: the Catalogue goes "live" on 4th September through to 6th January, hopefully this has inspired you a...

Here is the line-up...... first up using the Simply Sparkling Bundle (although not specifically using the dies in this one)  it's a nice light and friendly birthday card.   Next up, Friends for Life Bundle is used for this pretty card, love how delicate the heart die cuts are. Ooo Card #3 uses new goodies! which ironically won't be available to purchase till 6th!

Something Saturday - Full of Life

-
Image
Hi There Creators, Today I thought we'd check out the Full of Life Suite more specifically the Friends for Life Bundle .  Oh before I forget there is a Designer Series Paper sale on this month, check out out here: DSP Sale So here are the cards I created, this first one I do in the video, I didn't end up adding anything else to it!  I used the Graceful Greenery Vellum for the window under the heart, such pretty vellum! (in case you don't know the blue underlined bits are links for you to check out the products! 😁 then I went nice & simple with silver and white, and I've left the window without anything in it. Then thought I'd create a wedding card (now I need someone to get engaged or married!🤣)   And lastly figured I should use up the friend cut out from the first card, I had deliberately cut it from the middle of my piece of Garden green If you missed the video here it is: I hope this inspires you to create God Bless love Heather xox

Something Saturday - Changing Leaves Bundle

-
Image
 Hi There Creators, Today we're checking out the Changing Leaves Online Bundle , it's a really nice bundle for males & females, let's face it leaves are pretty generic!  I love that you can stamp, then cut & emboss together. Here's what I created in the video, I had a sheet of A4 cut in 1/2, then cut down to 6",  which I ran through the embossing folder. Then quartered this sheet to create the 4 cards Then I also showed how to line up the stamps (ideally using the die), in order to cut & emboss them. Here is the card I made using the stamped, embossed, die cut leaves: Then the remainder of the embossed card I used my brayer and added colour to the raised sections, to create these cards: Also using some of the Old Olive Glimmer Paper (which is part of a pack of 3 colours) and the Labelled with Love Punch .   If you missed the video here it is:   I hope this inspires you to craft at home too 😍 God Bless love Heather xox

Something Saturday - Frames & Flowers Specialty DSP

Image
 Hi There Creators Today I thought we'd check out this gorgeous Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper , Wow it's so pretty!  I've also paired up the cards below with sayings from the stamp sets:  A Million Thanks Kit , Colourful Kaleidoscope (which may have retired as I can't find it in the store, oops!)  Irresistible Blooms , Latte Love , and Layers of Beauty . I've used Notecards & Envelopes (which are very handy to use as they're pre-cut and scored 😍) plus some normal white cards that I've cut & scored. I've also used (let's get all the links out the way....)  Blooming Pearls (gotta have bling💎) And lastly ribbon, the iridescent ribbon I have isn't current anymore, but I did discover there's this rather lovely Iridescent 1/2" striped ribbon (must buy some!) and I also used Silver & White Sheer Ribbon . So onwards to the photos! 15 cards later..... And here are the pieces I still have left over to cr...

Something Saturday - Your Day to Shine Kit

-
Image
 Hi There Creators Today we're onto the last of the 3 kits I bought a while back, this one is Your Day to Shine card Kit .  Again it's a pretty one, no stamp set this time hence it's cheaper at only $25, but you still get to make 9 cards with it! which at $2.78 per card is still cheaper for a decent card than what you'd buy in a shop! Plus you have the Crafting fix time and you're able to say "yes, I made this"😍 So here are the 3 styles of card it officially creates, although I have changed a few elements around, so if you do want to see the proper "official" way click on the link above 🤣 this first card is a mini card (with matching envelope) once again beautiful bling with these cards!  This card is pretty much true to their suggestion This next card got turned around a bit as I wasn't terribly happy with their design, I didn't think the butterfly stood out so well on their card (I could be wrong - seems unlikely but you never know......

Something Saturday - Simply Sparkling

Image
  Hi there Creators, Today I was playing around with this new set I received, and then couldn't resist sharing it with you too. Oh My Goodness, wow this "Simply Sparkling" is such a great bundle, I have a feeling I'll be using it a fair bit in the future! It's an "online exclusive", which simply means it's not in the catalogue, but it is in the "online catalogue" as it were. Anyway onto the creations..... This bubbles die is the main reason I was so attracted to this set, and these are the 2 mini cards I made in the video:  How cool is this die?! (so exciting) I have to admit the little half orange segment looked so much like a mini pizza when I first cut it out...... something to try....... I was trying to work out what the little heart shaped piece is meant to be, and have now worked out it's meant to be a peach - Ah ha light bulb moment! 🤣  (also works well as a heart!)  The dies are absolutely fabulous! Anyway I also had to play wi...
