SPRINGY THINGY CARD TUTORIAL It's time for me to share my weekly Tuesday tip or technique. This tutorial fell out of my tips/techniques book as I moved it last night and so got chosen for today's effort. It makes a card front that the receiver pulls open and the card opens out like a spring to see an inner 20cm square area. Images of a completed card using this technique are below these instructions. Practice this on some scrap paper first. MATERIALS 20cm square piece of card stock or decorative paper of your choice. Pre colour the card if you wish. I'll use white card stock so you can clearly see what to do. Pencil, rubber, ruler, craft knife, craft mat and bone scorer. HOW TOO 1) On all sides measure and make a light pencil dot at the 5cm, 10cm and 15cm mark. On my sample I will use a black marker so you can see what I did easily. 2) From the 5cm mark at the left and right side measure and mark a dot at the 10cm mark 3) From the 10cm mark at the left and right side measure in and mark a dot in at the 5cm mark from each side 4) From the 15cm mark at the left and right side measure and mark a dot at the 10cm mark. These dots make a large diamond. 5) Score between all these dots. In my image I have drawn dashes to show you were to score 6) At the top 15cm mark score down to the right side of the diamond. At the 15cm mark at right edge, score across to the bottom of the diamond. At the 5cm mark on the bottom edge, score up to the left side of the diamond. Lastly at the 5cm mark at the left edge, score across to the top of the diamond. See dashed marks I have marked for you on my sample. All these score lines will be mountain folds. That is you bend the scored line back on itself to make a mountain. 7) At the 10cm mark on all sides score into the points on the diamond. See dashed areas on my sample. These scored lines and the scored lines for the diamond are all valley folds. That is you bend the scored line in on itself to make a little valley. Here is my sample with all the scored lines bent to their respective mountain and valley folds. 8) Now all you do is gently fold the card in on itself. Start on one side and then work your way around. If you have all the scored correct lines and folds it sort of winds in like a spring. It should look like this at the front and this at the back. Rub off all marked pencil dots. After I made my sample above for you I painted the card stock with white gesso, sprayed it with various sprays. Stamped and added embellishments to turn it into a steam punk card. I then layered and stuck it to a base card. As mine is fairly embellished it doesn't fold completely flat.

Supplies needed: Acrylic dabbers, photocopy of an image, water spritzer bottle, paintbrush, card stock, craft sheet and heat tool (optional) Take the lid off the dabbers and brush the paint onto the card stock, ensure you get a good coverage Take your photocopied image ( remember that you will get a reverse of the image, so don't use bold words), flip it over and place it in the acrylic. Lightly press it down making sure it's smooth and not wrinkled Leave to air dry for at least 15 minutes and then if you wish give it a blast with the heat tool Only move onto this step when you are sure your paint is completely dry Take your water filled spritzer bottle, spray the back of the paper no more than two squirts, you don't want it too wet Next start to rub the paper very gently with your finger Keep rubbing and extra spritzing if you need too Eventually you will get rid of all the paper, but it does take a bit of patience as you have to be careful not to wet it too much and rub the image away You can do exactly the same on a canvas Apparently the paint in the acrylic dabbers is slightly different to other acrylics as it is more chalky and that's why the transfers work best with these paints. But you can use other mediums. I tried it with Jo Sonia's background paints but didn't get such a good effect
Welcome to the PDF download (via Google Drive) for my version of the inner part of the Colour Wheel in the 2024-2025 Stampin Up Catalogue. I'm so pleased to say that Stampin Up have given permission for me to share this. Instructions: Download the PDF from Google Drive and save to your computer Print off or copy the page from the catalogue that you will attach the inner circle to. This is page 132 of the catalogue. I would suggest that you download the digital version of the catalogue to print from however a photocopy may be fine to use too. Use Basic White Thick cardstock for this and the inner circle so that they are sturdy. Print the PDF at 120%, as this should fit the page in your catalogue correctly. You may want to play with this scaling a little to suit however this worked just fine for me on my HP printer. Cut out the circle and then use a scapel to cut away the black areas to create windows for you to see through. Use a split pin to join through the centre of both the larger and smaller circle. This is what your printed wheel should look like - you can keep it as an A4 like I have or have it cut into a circle like the one that was gifted to Demonstrators - the choice is all yours! The link is HERE I'm really hoping this actually works and that you will enjoy using this until such time as an official one is available for purchase. Please take the time to go back to my first YouTube video explaining colour theory to fully understand how to use this great tool. If you have any questions or need help with yours, please send me an email using the contact form on my blog. Whilst you are here, please leave some love on my blog and be sure to pop back again soon to see what else I've been up to. Happy Stamping, Rachael xx

Our Attached I-cord Tutorial (aka Applied I-cord) will teach you exactly how to make a clean and colorful finish to your knitting projects.
I have been on a roller coaster ride for the last week around here. I had mentioned that my dad was having his second knee replacement surgery. Well we thought everything was going fine and they sent him home after lunch on Saturday. Around 7 p.m. he was running a high fever and was advised to go to the Emergency Room. As anyone who's ever gone to the ER knows, it will NOT be a fast trip. LOL Well, the fever became the least of our worries because he went in to an irregular heart rhythm. They ended up putting him in ICU and he's still there. The cardio doc says it's nothing life threatening, but obviously needs to be brought under control. Weekends aren't the best time to get lots of answers from the doctors so hopefully we'll know more today. I'd appreciate it if you would keep him and us in your prayers. One of the comments on my "Watchin' the Flutterby's" card last week was a request to show how to do the Out of the Box technique. There are lots of great tutorials out there on this technique, but since several of you asked for more tutorials I figured I'd throw my own version into the lot. This is a very simple technique that can really add a lot of interest to your card. So here we go. 1. Supplies. You'll need your stamped image, a die, scissors, and a pencil. 2. Place your die, cutting side up, over your image and decide where you'd like it to be. Placing the die cutting side up will make it a bit easier to judge where your cutting line will fall. 3. With your pencil, lightly trace along the inside edge of the die next to the parts that will be sticking out. You can trace along the whole inside circle, but it's not necessary. 4. Here's what you'll have after the tracing. 5. Remember, the line you just traced is NOT the cutting line. You're die will cut a little less than an 1/8" further out from the drawn line. In the photo you'll see that I penciled in a dotted line roughly an 1/8" out from my first line. This isn't necessary, but it sure helps you to cut more precisely. The arrows indicate where you will start cutting in. It's necessary to cut straight in or you will have a visible cut line in your image edge. 6. This photo show everywhere that I have determined I will need to cut. 7. Time to cut! If you follow the arrow down to the dotted line you should have an invisible cutting line when finished. Simply continue cutting until you reach your original traced line. That's as far in as you want or need to go. 8. Once you've made all your cuts you'll be able to slip the die under the cut outs and line it back up perfectly with your inside pencil marks. Make sure your die is now cutting side down. 9. Run the image and die through your cutting machine. 10. This is what you will end up with and then all you have to do is finish trimming around the hair and paw. 11. You'll end up with a trimmed, ready to use image with some parts sticking Out of the Box errrr....circle. hee hee Hope this was helpful. Have a great week!

So I've had a boring piece of paper holding the vital info of 'how many inches are in 5/8 of a yard?' in the front of my sewing binder for far too long. This weekend I decided to make it not-so-boring. I ended up making it business card size because well...smaller is cuter right? I could even put it in a tiny frame and put it on my sewing table. Hmmmm....just might do that. When I was done, I figured I wasn't the only one who easily forgot how many inches are in 5/8 of a yard. So here it is for you all. I even made it in different colors. Are you shocked that it involves polka dots? To print: Right click on the color you like. Click 'Save Image As'. Then click on the image in its saved location and print. (Now my printer defaulted to make the card take up the entire page. I just clicked off 'Scale to Fit' and clicked on 'Scale' and set it to 100%. Now each printer will be different...so can't help you much on that.) Enjoy!

Cutting stacks of a paper down to particular sizes is a necessary process in a variety of applications, ranging from offices to art classes.
