Going Global

Hello bloggists!  Today I made a teepee card.  Being a bit of a Sci-fi geek (I met my husband at a Star Trek convention - and yes, we were both in costume) the shape when folded reminds me of a Star Trek com badge - or an arrowhead.

I like the way this card folds up to fit in an envelope, too.  You could decorate this shape in lots of ways but this time I thought I'd play with the Going Global/world traveller suite of products in the Spring/Summer catalogue.

Here's how it went together -

Hope you liked!

Hello bloggists.  Thank you for visiting today!  Here's today's project- it's a springer card.  These are so easy to make and they fold up to fit inside a square envelope.  Usually I make them with a diamond-shaped panel at the top, but this time I decided to trim the top panel and mount the embossed circle on it - I'm pretty pleased at how it came out.

Here's the tutorial -

See you again soon!

One of the very many excellent things about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is early access to the items in the new catalogues.  When I saw the Going Global products in the Spring/Summer Catalogue, it went straight to the top of my wish-list - and so did the Timeless Textures stamp set.

And I've been playing, making some "Man Cards" - which are always a challenge.

Here's what I did - 

Thanks for visiting - come back soon, I'd love to see you again!

Once upon a time, when my children were small, I would spend hours doing origami (you don’t need much in the way of tools and if small hands get hold of it – well, it’s just a piece of paper).  I don't  do so much of it these days, but  I do still love a fancy fold card.  

 

This style of card - originated by Kelly Gettelfinger -  is absolutely genius. It is so easy to make but looks as if it took ages and doesn't need much in the way of embellishments to make it look the bees knees.  .  I love these papers and stamps as well.  They’re wonderful for “man  cards”  Here's the video -
