Good morning Really horrible wet day here today but I am a happy bunny as Thursdays are now my Stampin UP days! I dont do any weddings on Thursday, just SU projects!!!!! And also my parcel with my new ribbons etc is out for delivery!! Woo hoo!!!!! OK, A few people asked for a tutorial on the trifold card that I made last week so here goes!! You need a Scorer/Trimmer, 1 sheet of A4 card and some patterned paper cut 9cm wide You need to score along the long side to divide the card into 3, I usually score at 9.9cm from one side and then score in at 9.9cm from the other side. You then need to slice off a piece on a diagonal as shown in picture below, start at top left corner and then come down to the bottom right but not right into the corner, I usally come up about 7 or 8 cms. You should then be left with a piece of card like this And folded it looks like this! Ok, this is how I make sure I have neat layers. I take a piece of patterned paper (9cm wide) and then lay it over the tallest section like the photo below. I then make a pencil mark (you can see it on the left) and then cut from the top corner to the pencil mark So you should be left with the piece like this Repeat on the smaller section using the same design, please note I havent stuck the tall piece down wonky!! It moved as I took the photo!!!! Then its really important that you turn the card over! The alternative patterned paper should be on the opposite side of the card to the white paper, like below You then should have something like this! I have then decorated mine using the Flight of the Butterfly set and the Tiny Tags Papers are Night and Day, only available for limited time! CLose ups! Right I am going to stalk the UPS driver now!!

Last holiday season I posted a tutorial on how to make glitter ornaments. The questions about that tutorial keep on coming - and it's now about the ornaments so much as the bow on top! So today we're talking all about how to make the perfect (double) bow. Silhouette School weekly contributors Becky and Glenna from My Paper Craze are here to share their expertise in the bow making department! What's an ornament without a cute little bow for flair? Today, we'll show you how to make an easy double bow in less than a minute with nothing but your fingers and some ribbon. It's not exactly a Silhouette tutorial, but it is definitely need-to-know for crafters! First, you need some thin ribbon, preferably double-sided. I specifically chose not to use double-sided ribbon, just in case you were wondering what the big deal is. Measure out about 32 inches, give or take a little. You can always trim the excess. Now grab your ribbon and follow along! Pinch the ribbon about one-fourth of the way down and drape it over you fingers. Take the longer piece of ribbon and loop it back around your two fingers. Pay close attention to the photos and how the ribbon is looped around each finger. On the second time down, you'll come back to the front of your fingers instead underneath. Loop back up around the tip of your finger and loop to the left. Now tuck the end of your loose piece of ribbon through your two fingers, where they come together at your hand. Pull the loose ribbon end around the back and tuck it under where the ribbon crosses (kind of like tying your shoes). At this point, you can cinch it up and pull the loops together to make the bow. Now just slide it off your fingers and fluff your loops until you're satisfied. If it doesn't come out the first time, don't despair, you can actually untie this and try again with the same piece of ribbon! Can you see the difference with not using the double-sided ribbon? It's not a huge difference, it's more personal preference, but double-sided ribbon is recommended for consistency in the design. Now on to more crafting, you have to make ornaments to put all these bows on! Note: This post may contain affiliate links.

Hello ! Céline here with Tutorial Thursday. For the Christmas new release I made a pop up panel card and many of you asked me how to do it. Each measurement is in cm For the pop up system you need a cardstock cut at 29.8 x 22.5 2 pieces of patterned papers at 14.5 x 10.2 for the panel you need cardstock cut at 30 x 8.2 and 4 pieces of paterned papers cut at 7.1 x 7.8 and for the card base you need cardstock cut at 30 x 10.5 and score in half To start, here are the measures for the pop up system (29.8 x 22.5 cardstock) Here is the result Take the 2 pieces of paterned papers 14.5 x 10.2 and cut the corners like shown in the picture below and adhere them to the pop up system Take the 30 x 8.2 cardstock and score at 7.5, 15 and 22.5 and adhere the 4 pieces of patterned papers cut at 7.1 x 7.8 to the panel. Adhere letters you want to have as message Decorate as you want Now it's time to adhere the panel on the pop up system Place the panel at the bottom of the pop up system (panels are centered) you have to see "2" "u" at the top and made a mark on the cardstock repeat by placing the panel at the top of the pop up system you have now marks to see how/where to add glue Adhere the inside card to the base card And to finish, decorate the front of the card I've used : stamp : Celebrate you Marci dies : Celebrate you, balloons, filigree flowers, loopy corner, pierced scalloped circles, double stitched circles, fancy doily Here is a little video I've made to show the opening of the card, sorry for the quality, it's made with my phone.

Hello there! I wanted to pop in quick and share the birthday card I made for Gabe's 11th birthday-yes, 11th! Doesn't seem possible! I've been on several Pokemon hunts with him, so I thought he'd appreciate this:) I started with a Basic Black base, which I folded in half, and ran it through the Big Shot using the retired Circles Framelits. The dies in the current Layering Circles Framelits weren't big enough. I then cut a smaller circle out of Real Red and Whisper White Cardstock. I cut them in half and attached them to the base with Liquid Tombow. I then added a strip of Basic Black Cardstock over the seam. I cut out 2 more circles out of Basic Black and Whisper White Cardstock and layered them over the strip. I used the Large Numbers Framelits to cut out the '11' and attached the one on the circles with Liquid Tombow, and the other with Glue Dots, so they'd lay evenly. The sentiment is from the SAB set Tasty Trucks, using Memento Black ink. I used Daffodil Delight Cardstock, and used one of the dies from the circles framelits to cut out Pikachu's head. I used the Pyramid Pals Thinlits to cut out his ears and nose. I had to trim down his ears a bit because they were too big. I used the retired 1/4" Handheld Circle Punch for his eyes and cheeks. I used the current 1/8" Handheld Circle Punch for the white's of his eyes. I'm so mad! I forgot to color the tips of his ears black. That's what I get for waiting til the last minute to make his card:( Oh well, he probably got over it when he found the $50 inside:( ) Stop back tomorrow for another fun birthday card. Thanks so much for stopping by!

I love corner bookmarks! Not only are they unique, but they don't put any extra pressure on the binding since they bookmark the page on the outside corner of the page rather than on the inside.
