New Video Tutorial for a Note Card Keeper Box to fit SU! notecards.

Hello!

So, life has been crazy this week here (again) with number 3 child going away this week with school for the first time (eek!), classes and a couple of commissions for a magazine to get finished so unfortunately this blog post has been pushed down the list a couple of times, sorry! I have however managed to make a new video but it was taking so long to upload last night (from about 8.30pm and still uploading at 11.30) that I left it and went to bed ;-)

I designed this little box for this weeks class to fit SU! notecards in.
**Edit to add: To see the 5 days of Note Cards we made to fit in this box, please CLICK HERE** 

This first one was made with Strawberry Slush card was stamped using Gorgeous Grunge and wrapped in thick twine...

  Unfortunately this In Colour is now sold out. I'm going to really miss this colour but I've made two alternative designs, shown in the video, which I will also post on here as soon as I get a chance to photograph them.

 This would make a great gift set 

 Or simply somewhere to keep your own note cards dust free before you use them!

OK, time for the video

And as promised here are the measurements for you:

A4 Short side: Score at 2.5cm, 12.5cm cut at 15cm. Keep excess for lid.

Long Side: Score at 12cm, 14.5cm cut at 26.5cm. Excess here is waste.

First piece of excess used to make lid. Long side: Score at 1cm, 11.3cm, 13.9cm, 24.2cm cut at 26.8, excess is waste.

Short side: Score at 2.7cm

DSP: 9.4cm wide x 11.3cm for the front of box and 2.8cm for the lid.

*Edit to add* As requested, HERE are the measurements in inches also! Enjoy!!

Please watch the video for full details on how to assemble :-)

Well, I hope you enjoyed that? Please do let me know!

A Happy Birthday with Gorgeous Grunge by Stampin' Up!

Hi there,
Today's card was made for my bestest friends daughter and I actually went into this card knowing exactly what I wanted to do! Very unusual (for me!!) Anyway, she was 16 so I didn't want anything too young looking for her card and so I decided to go with a Saffron and Slate with a pop of Blackberry Bliss colour combo - all based on the Moonlight DSP stack which backs the sentiment. I found these little word dies at Clearly Besotted recently and made this card.
I started by stamping two of the Gorgeous Grunge stamps in Saffron right across the card, from corner to corner. Then I die cut the words from this top layer and backed the die cut sections with a piece of Moonlight DSP before adhering this top layer to a Smoky Slate layer...

 as you can see I only adhered the end letters on each die using my glue pen then gently teased out the words so they popped and you could then see the pretty paper underneath

 I added a Crushed Curry chevron ribbon bow - cause you gotta have a bow right?

 The words popping up. I gave this card in a box to preserve this, you could tuck tissue under the words with a note to remove if you were posting it :-)

OK, that's all from me for today, I hope you liked today's card :-)

I'll be back tomorrow with another card for you :-)

Thanks for looking today,

Just Sayin' card for a man and new Weekly Deals

Hello there,

Today's card is a quick and easy card for the guy(s) in your life ;-)

We used Just Sayin' and it's matching framelits and teamed them with Gorgeous Grunge- which is still a firm favourite of mine! I love how it just makes a quick, easy detail in the background. I also used my new embossing folder (after stamping , of course) for the background called Arrows as well as the Decorative dots folder -on the little word bubble- which is now available to purchase in the NEW CATTY too...

 I stamped this sentiment using the new Momento ink pad, it's not just for Blendies you know ;-) (Blendabilities new abbreviation, definitely not SU!'s idea that one!!! lol)  

 and some more twine! I may *heart* this stuff, like a lot...

 and I made a slightly different version with a "hey there" sentiment (also Just Sayin' stamp set) so here they are together

OK, I'm off to stamp!
**Edit to add weekly Deals**
Cause I forgot when I was chatting about this card to tell you my faves this week! Doh me!
