Hello again on this very fine Sunday and welcome back to CASEing the Catty.
This week we are CASEing the Sale A Bration products.
Stampin' Up! have recently released a second range of products for the remaining 4 weeks of this amazing promotion.
One of the bundles available as a level 2 product is the Painted Seasons bundle including the beautiful Stamp set and DSP
I fell in love with the Painted Seasons DistINKtive stamp set, and after my class yesterday a few more people have fallen in love with it too. It's so beautiful to use. The DSP which coordinates with it is also amazing.
Here's a few samples from the class display. We made the one on the right.
My class yesterday focused on Fancy Folds so I will be presenting you all with a few tutorials on Fancy Folds with simple stamping over the next few days. Be sure to have subscribed to "follow by email" on the right hand panel of this page to get all of the tutorials straight to your inbox for free.
The first card we made was a GATE FOLD CARD.
Here are a few samples using the gorgeous DSP and stamp set.
The GATE FOLD card is a simple card to make and is a standard size with an alternative opening. Each side of the card folds into the centre like a pair of gates. There are many many variations.
The gates can be held closed by an added embellishment if needed of you can secure the card with a belt or belly band.
Did you know that your metric scoring plate has the perfect score line for this?
To create a regular size card simply
- cut an A4 sheet in half horizontally
- With the card sitting landscape in your Score Tool, score at 5.25cm
- Rotate the card 180 degrees and repeat
- Fold along the score lines and burnish well with your bone folder so the gates stay shut
- Adhere DSP strips 5cm x 14.2 cm to each gate front
- Decorate a panel for the front feature. This one (the cake) is 7cm square with a 7.5cm mat
- adhere only half of the panel to the left front gate
- Rectangles also work well - and the stitched rectangles are perfect for this but you don't want anything wider than about 8cm
- If you want a small keeper to hold the gate closed punch a 1" and a 3/4" circles and layer them together. ( You can see this in the first photo from the class display on the card on the right)
- With your card closed adhere a single dimensional slightly to the right of the feature panel, pop the circles on top and slip the edge of the front panel under it to hold it closed. ( See detail in the last photo )
- Decorate the inside panel as desired
And since I was creating samples to show variations on a Gate Fold Card for the class I have this final option to share.
This is slightly different dimensions and I will share the instructions in a post tomorrow. It's a perfect way to show off the amazing paper - and it works for any DSP. I was inspired by the Artisan Jackie Aitken and her beautiful fussy cutting of these tiny images.
In the last few days they have released a third offering of products which you can earn for free with each purchase of $90 Australian. How wonderful that the Painted Seasons paper can now be earned as a single item. If you want the stamp set however it is still only available as a free item with a Purchase of $180. If you have any questions about any of these please contact me.
You can see the second release items here
Now it's time to see what the rest of the team have been creating. Hop along to see some amazing inspiration photos. And don't forget we also love to see what you create. Post a photo of your project inspired by any SAB product to our Facebook group.
Next this week is Lauren
I hope you have a creative week and remember,
