With Father's Day just around the corner, I thought I would make another card with the stamp set called A Good Guy. All week I have been sharing cards with this set, because I know how hard man's cards can be, but this stamp set has really inspired me, which is so not the norm, I thought I would run with it.
This card is another quick and simple, where yet again the Blends are the stand out feature. I often get asked how tricky are they to use and I think with this stamp set in particular, they really are easy. In fact, to prove how easy they are I have done a video tutorial for this card, so you can see for yourself, in real time, how easy they are to use.
Oh and as always, here are the card measurements for this particular card:
Base: 11 1/2" x 4"
Basic Gray: 5 1/2" x 3 3/4"
Basic Gray: 5 3/8" x 3 5/8"
Old Olive: 1 1/2" x 5 3/8"
Black banner: 3/4" x 3 5/8"
Pumpkin pie 1/8" x 3 5/8"
And here's the video tutorial for you all too. Enjoy x
Don't forget you can purchase anything you've seen today, over at my online store and have it shipped to you, anywhere in Australia.
So have you ever tried cutting around a stamped images and for some reason your Scan N Cut cuts wonky or lopsided. Yep, super frustrating and that is exactly what happened to me on my very first cut. So disappointing. Well today I'm here to help and the best news is, it's something super simple.
On this tutorial I will show you how to recalibrate your machine so that it cuts a nice, equal outline around your stamped images. It's like you fix your machines vision!
So sit back, relax and watch this simple tutorial and don't forget to leave me a message and let me know what you thought.
Today's tutorial is called a Tri-Fold Triangular card and it is one of the best fancy folds I have done in a while. I've seriously had so much fun with this card and I've been looking forward to sharing this technique with you.
If you scroll further down you will find not only the measurements for this fold but also my weekly video tutorial. But first lets see a few photos:
I have to admit it wasn't the easiest card to photograph, but hopefully the photo's give you some idea on how the fold works.
I have really enjoyed using the It Starts With Art stamp set and just keep finding more uses for it. The fact it comes with dies too, is a huge added bonus. And how pretty is the Follow Your Art designer series paper. Just perfect together!

And if you want to get your hands on some of the items that I have used on this card today, please head on over to my store. It's open 24hrs and I can ship anywhere in Australia.
This technique is such a fun one and I have seen so many gorgeous cards made with this same design. I originally saw this card made by Jennifer McGuire. In fact I believe her husband actually invented the Glad Press and Seal, which is the product you will need for this technique. Cool husband to have!
Now, I do know that here in Australia, we can't seem to source Press and Seal, but I have heard that it can be purchased online, so have a bit of a Google for it. I actually picked mine up when I went to Florida with Stampin' Up last year.
OK so let's a take a look at the card, so you can see what all the hype is on it:
So super pretty right!! And the best thing is, because we cut a space for the sentiment, we can then use the left over piece to make another card.
Ok, so I'm guessing you all want to know how to actually make this card and did I actually fussy cut all those birds and flowers (I actually used my Scan N Cut for that and have a video HERE about it)
Well the good news is, I have uploaded a video tutorial for you all and have included all the measurements below. I know, I'm so good to you xxx
