Hello, Crafters.
Yesterday we did our first craft jumble sale, and it was a brilliant success. The miserable weather didn’t stop crafters turning out in force! Everything I sold was non-Stampin’ Up! I had seven large boxes of wood mount stamps – at a guess I’d say about two hundred stamps! This was far too many for me to price each stamp individually. I solved this problem charging twenty pence an inch. To calculate the inches, I measured two adjacent sides of each stamp. Initially hubby felt very uncomfortable about my idea.
As soon as I had my first customer, and he saw my plan in action, hubby felt confident it was a good idea! I had also sorted out my various cardstock into piles of similar types e.g. regular, foil, embossed, etc. I divided each group into piles of equal number of sheets e.g.regular cardstock 20 sheets, embossed cardstock 15 sheets, foil cardstock 10 sheets. In preparation for today, I had bought 200 A4 cello bags. Each pack was sold for £1.00, and they sold well. Other items I was selling included unopened packs of scalloped-edged card bases and envelopes, old craft magazines, and a selection of free gifts which came with craft magazines.
I will certainly be doing this again, but unfortunately, craft jumble sales don’t happen very often! Sarah,the young lady who organised today’s event will be organising another one in September. I know about another one that’s happening in May but that’s fully booked. I’m hoping to go on the waiting list but I have no idea how long that list is!
Today’s video shows how to make this very unusual card that didn’t have a name! I looked back on a video I made a couple of years ago, that looked the same except for the triangle fold backs. I have just added Triangle in front of the name! The first time Isaw this card was when a crafter contacted me and asked if I could make a video. She told me where I could see the card, and as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to make a video!
As usual, I have listed in the box below the video, the cardstock pieces and sizes you need, plus the products used. I have also listed which piece of Whisper White goes with which piece of All My Love Designer Series Paper. I hope you find it easy to follow. Pleae don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions! I’m always happy to help. That’s about it from me today. I hope you have a very blessed Sunday, and until tomorrow, happy crafting.

So lovely you are so clever. I will certainly try it. So different from the usual fancy fold cards. Love your videos and look forward to them,
Hi, Lynda. First of all I want to opologise for not replying sooner. I love my new website and being with Blogger, but I haven’t sussed their way of notifying me when carfters have left messages! Well, not in a timely manner at least! I’m really pleased you enjoy my projects, and long may it continue. Thank you for your support; it’s very much appreciated! Happy crafting, JanB. xx
I do not see a box below the video with the measurements. Is there another place to look?
Thanks

Where do you get the magnets. I have been all over town and I can not find them. I actually found some that was nice and flat but they was not strong enough to hold the card.
Hi, Beth. I buy my online from Spider Magnets on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/spidermagnets . The magnets I used are 1mm thick and 8mm diameter. I hope this helps. Happy crafting, JanB. xx
Thank you so much. This helps a lot.
Can you tell me what kind of magnets you used on the Triangle Pop up card?
Hi, Alex. I use 1mm thick, 8mm diameter round magnets from Spider Magnets. They are an international company based in the UK. If you Google the name, I’m sure you’ll find the nearest one to you. Happy crafting, JanB. xx
Looking at these beautiful cards, I told myself I’d never be able to do that! But, with your video and all my papers and extras colored and die cut, I think I could. If I get stuck, I can bring up your video and work along side of you. These are very nice cards to give, but, as ALL my family is up North here in the States, I can’t deliver these cards. I did Not see the web address for the magnets, nor what size to buy? TFS!
I have recntly come upon your youtube videos and love your cards. I hope you don’t ind, but I am going to try and make some of them.
For your triangle corner popup card, there is no measurements posted below your video. Could you please post them? TIA
Hi, Sande. I’m pleased you’re going to make the Triangle Pop Up Card. You need to be watching the video on YouTube to be able to access the box below the video. All the measurements are definitely there. Happy crafting, JanB. xx
