Pretty Petals Fun Fold card

Posted on by

I have been playing with the new Pretty Petals stamp set and Dies which will be available from the 7th January from my online store. I have used it to make a pretty floral birthday card.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the pretty petals fun fold card, you will need:

Mossy Meadow card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Fresh Freesia card – 4” by 1⅞”
Berry Burst card – 4½” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 3”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

 

Using my paper trimmer, I cut across the card front to the scoreline 2” from the bottom. I then cut down the central scoreline leaving the 2” flap at the bottom.

Rustic Crate Fall Fun Fold card – Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop. I recently watch a Youtube video posted by Australian demonstrator, Alisa Tilsner showcasing a pop out window card http://(https://www.youtube.com/live/_uQZ9AN1wTM)which she had designed. I absolutely loved the card and decided to rework it for a standard sized card using A4 cardstock.

Colours in this card are:

 

 

To recreate the Fall goodies card, you will need:

Pretty Peacock card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 4”
Perennial Lavender dsp – 5½” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 7⅝” by 5½” – scored at 3¾”
Unbounded Beauty dsp – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5” by 1“scored at ½”,1” and 1½” at each end

 

The panel of Perennial Lavender dsp was adhered to the 5⅝” by 4” piece of Basic White card which was then adhered to the Pretty Peacock card front.

I selected 2 Deckled Circle Dies and using the larger die I die cut a circle through all 3 layers. I needed to run it backwards and forwards 2 to cut through all the layers.

I glued the piece of Unbounded Beauty dsp to the front of the inner Basic White card and adhered the back of the card to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base taking care to stay away from the central fold.

Using Early Espresso ink, I stamped the Autumnal arrangement and the sentiment onto the die cut white circle. I used Washi tape from my stash to mask the words for the sentiment as I wanted then stacked rather than inline.

I folded and burnished the scorelines on the 5” by 1“– the 2 centre scorelines were folded back, the next 2 folded forwards and the last 2 folded back.

The card front was closed, and a little Liquid Adhesive added to the innermost tabs of the folded strip which was then placed in the centre of the die cut hole. I held it in place for a minute or so to make sure it would not move. Adhesive was then added to the raised centre of the strip and the decorated circle added, making sure to leave an equal border all the way around.

Autumnal Toadstools – Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are being inspired to create using a Tic Tac Toe board. I have chosen to use the Fall, Fun-fold and Ribbon line and have used the Inspirational Sketches stamp set to make my card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Autumnal toadstools card, you will need:

Early Espresso card base – 7⅛” by 4⅛” – scored at 5⅞”
Early Espresso card – 4⅛” by 1¼”
Basic Beige – 4” by 1⅛” x 2
Country Woods dsp – 3⅞” by 1” x 2
Poppy Parade card – 5¼” by 3¼” x 2
Basic Beige – 5” by 3“

The group of toadstools were stamped in Early Espresso ink onto the piece of Basic Beige card measuring 5” by 3“. I used the following Blends Pens to colour in the image – Pretty in Pink, Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake. I also used a white gel pen from my stash to add the white dots to the toadstool caps.

The 1¼” piece of Early Espresso card with the added Basic Beige and dsp panel was lined up with the bottom edge and sides of the card base, I held it in position with a little removable adhesive from my stash. Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive was applied to the back of the die cut and decorated label, on the top and bottom only and the label was added it to top and bottom strips of the card front.

To make the back of the card front look a little neater I glued the 2nd Poppy Parade label to the back. A length of Linen Thread was wrapped around the label and tied in a bow. A trio of Earth Tones Shimmer Gems finished the card.

A circle was die cut, using the Stylish Shapes Dies, in the upper half of the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card. I adhered the panel of Window Sheet to the back of the die cut circle, holding it in place with Mini Glue Dots.

I tore a piece of copy paper to give a ragged edge and used it with a Blending Brush to apply Balmy Blue ink to the die cut panel to give the impression of banks of snow. I stamped the sentiment, from the retired Ringed With Nature stamp set, in Garden Green ink onto the inked card.

Placing the Balmy Blue panel on my desk, I added 2 or 3 pinches of white sequins, stars and snowflakes onto the stamped clouds. I removed the backing from the Adhesive Strips and placed the panel down onto the Balmy Blue panel, making sure that the sequins remained inside the circular area.

I used my Paper Trimmer to cut a slant in the 4⅛” by 2¾” panel of Thick Basic White card. The smaller piece of dsp was cut at the same angle before being glued to the Thick Basic White piece. I added glue to the bottom and both sides of the piece and added it to the bottom of the larger panel.

3 cards designed for my February 2024 classes using the Trusty Tools stamp set, Trusty Tools die and the Trusty Toolbox dsp by Stampin' Up!

Trusty Tools Classes

Posted on by

Today, I am sharing the cards I designed for my February Trusty Tools classes. Each of the ladies coming to classes were given a 6” by 6” pack of the Trusty Toolbox dsp to use when making the projects. I love giving dsp samples to my class attendees, especially if we use some of the paper in classes. Many of the ladies only craft when they come to class so I like to give them new techniques and things to try.

Colours in these cards are:

Pop-Up Front Panel card

This card was inspired by Mel Brown of Inspired Crafts 

Thick Basic White card base – 10½” by 4” – scored at 5¾”, 6¾”, 8¾” & 9¾”
Thick Basic White – 5¾” by 2⅝” – scored at 4” & 5”
Copper Clay – 4” by 2½”
Trusty Toolbox dsp – 3¾” by 3½”
Trusty Toolbox dsp – 3¾” by 1¾”
Basic White – 3¼” by ¾”
Scarp Basic White – 4⅛” by 2¾”

 

We each choose the dsp patterns we wanted to use and cut them down to size. They were glued to the larger panel of Thick Basic White card. We folded on the score lines and added Tear & Tape to the 1” tab, folding it over to form the bottom of the card.

Hello and welcome to the Celebrate Sale-a-Bration Blog Hop where we are showcasing, you’ve guessed it…….. Sale-a-Bration product. I am showcasing the gorgeous Softly Stippled dsp and have used it to make a pretty card made for my niece who became engaged over Christmas.

The sentiment, from the Stippled Rose stamp set, was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink onto scrap Basic White card. I die cut the sentiment using the Nested Essentials Dies. I cut 2 more labels from scrap Pool Party card, I cut one of these in half across the middle and glued the 2 halfs to the back of the stamped label with a little peeking out at the top and the bottom. The remaining Pool Party label was glued to the back of the label and the whole piece was glued to the left side of the card front.

A pretty shaker card made using the hummingbird from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Hummingbird Shaker card – Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop  where we are sharing Shaker cards. I have used the gorgeous Thoughtful Expressions stamp set and dies to make my pretty hummingbird shaker card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the hummingbird shaker card, you will need:

Pebbled Path card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pool Party card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Softly Stippled dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Window sheet – 3⅞” by 3⅞” – I used a cut down Clear Envelope as I couldn’t find my Window Sheet
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

Using a die from the Thoughtful Expressions I cut out a shape from the Softly Stippled dsp. From scrap Basic White card. I taped the same die to the next size up and die cut a frame from scrap Basic White card. The frame was glued to the front of the Softly Stippled dsp using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The dsp was laid over the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card and the sentiment, from the Everyday Details stamp set, was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the Basic White panel, using the die cut panel to get the positioning right.

Using Tear & Tape Adhesive I adhered my square of cut down Clear Envelope to the back of the Softly Stippled dsp behind the die cut shape. I suggest you use Window Sheet……… I couldn’t find mine!

Dimensional Strips were adhered around the negative window on the back of the dsp panel. I also added strips of Adhesive around the edges of the panel to raise it up. The Dimensional strips are slightly higher then our ordinary Dimensionals.

I rubbed my Embossing Buddy over the stamped Basic White panel to remove static and added a pinch of Loose Silver Sequins over the sentiment. I also added a few aqua coloured sequins from my stash. The panel of dsp was then carefully added over the Basic White panel. I pressed firmly to make sure it was well stuck down.

The whole piece was then glued to the Pool Party layer and then to the Pebbled Path card base.

I stamped the hummingbird and single flower in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Basic White card and coloured both images using the following Blends Pens – Lemon Lolly, Pool Party, Smoky Slate and Pebbled Path. I die cut them out using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies.

The hummingbird was added to the card front using Mini Glue Dots. I added loops of Pool Party Baker’s Twine to the back of the flower, securing it in place with Tear & Tape. The flower was then added to the card front with Mini Glue Dots.

 

A trio of Adhesive Backed Solid Gems completed the card.

The number 60 was die cut from scrap Gorgeous Grape card using the Alphabet A La Mode dies. I stamped each number 4 times and glued them one on top of the other using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
