Something Saturday - Inchie equivalent card for those with an A4 Brain!

Image
Hi there Creators, Well today I thought I'd have a go at an "inchie" card, only mine (unsurprisingly for me) aren't inchies! The idea behind it is that you have inch squares, which get attached to a background paper (which has been scored up before hand so you have lines to attach your inchies to, and embossed with an embossing folder, which then deletes the score lines. However, as you have to cut your base card down to create an inchie card, I decided to do things "my way" hence "equivalent for an A4 brain" Here are the 2 Inchie cards I received the first one from Simone my up-line as a swap at the Stampin' Up!event. She's used the beautiful vibrant Flowering Zinnias designer series paper and the second from Lee-Allan one of my down-line (which uses some paper that now I need to buy 🤣) check it out for yourself:  Natures Sweetness Designer Series Paper then I got onto creating one - my size using retired Designer Papers (you can never

Something Saturday - Thoughtful Moments Hybrid

Image
 Hi There Creators Hope you've all had a lovely Christmas!  Happy New Year to you too. Today I thought we'd check out something that will be available to purchase on 4th January - 5 Days time EEK!  hopefully you all have your catalogues by now, if not let me know! What we're checking out today is the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid which is an embossing folder with dies, and it is SOOOO cool!, you can cut and emboss all at the same time.  There are 10 sayings/words, and I've been so enjoying playing with them. Here are the cards I made up after the video, I decided with these that less is more, so they make amazingly simple, but effective cards I think!  I've added a bit of Wink of Stella to some pieces just to add a bit of bling😍 My last card was inspired by some lined cards that a friend of mine gave me for Christmas, they were hand-painted by her daughter and she gave me a jar with it to write down what I'm thankful for, and pop them in the jar.  Here are some of

Something Saturday - Last minute card for Christmas

Image
 Hi There Creators, I thought we'd squeeze in a last minute - ultra simple Christmas card, all you need is a bit of Designer paper, a brown "stick" and an appropriate saying, oh and a round die, or small round plate (and scissors) So.... here it is: I have used:  Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper (retiring soon), Deckled Circle Dies , and the lovely Brightest Glow Stamp se t. Oh just as a little extra the little swirls on the corners of the top card were made using the M from Merry   Check out the quick video below to see how to create these easy trees.  Hope you all have a lovely Christmas God Bless love Heather xox

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..... I wasn't 100% happy with the tree inside the card of that one, I'd used a 1" scoring gap, and I think it was too much, so this one I did in the video I used a 3/4" score gap, which I'm much happier with, and it left me room at the top for a star😁, which I got from the Handcrafted Elements Dies (plus the ornament I used on the front of the card) I think this designer paper is so beautiful, love the brightness, it really works for anything, doesn't have to be Christmas!, although looking at this photo, I'm thinking I should bling up the ornament with
