IT’S FRIDAY AND TIME FOR A FANTASTIC FUN FOLD

I shared part of this card on Tuesday as part of my technique share. Now I need to show you the rest of the card – the fun fold part of the card.

The technique I shared was all about using the rule of 3.

When the card is opened you discover that it is an easel card.

I used one of the new Glass & Gardens Embossing Folders to create the locking mechanism for the easel card.

When the card is fully opened you can see a Basic White panel for a personal message to be written. There is also a piece of DSP inside the card and on the envelope.

Next week I will have another new collection to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

THURSDAY IS THE DAY FOR A 3D PROJECT

Today I have a flip top box to share with you.

I made it to hold a couple of flower seed packets that I could then give as a gift.

I used Shy Shamrock card to create the gift box.

The floral DSP design was perfect for this project. I carefully measured and cut the DSP panels so that the design wrapped around the box and aligned well.

I used one of the new punches, from the Hole Punch Assortment pack, to punch a slit for the Strawberry Slush Faux Linen Ribbon that I used to close the box.

After stamping the greeting I used one of the dies from the soon to be retired Something Fancy Dies. It was secured over the ribbon with Stamppin’ Dimensionals.

Finally I added some of the Strawberry Slush Flat Pearls to the front of the box.

Tomorrow I have a Fun Fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEDNESDAY FROM STAMPIN’ UP!© & ME

This week there are three new kits and an updated Last Chance Updates List.

PAPER BOUQUET KIT $39 AUD (plus postage)

LOVELIEST WISHES KIT $25 (plus postage)

ESSENTIAL OCCASIONS KIT $23 (plus postage)

As I mentioned yesterday, I am featuring the Florals in Bloom Suite Collection this week.

Today’s project is a great card that features one of the stunning new Designer Series Paper pages.

I adhered the DSP panel on a Basic White panel and added it to a Secret Sea cardbase.

Then I added two strips of the Secret Sea card across the card front – one strip is 1/2″ and the other is 3/4″.

The greeting, from the Sweet Blooms stamp set, was stamped in Strawberry Slush and then cut. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it height.

The floral image was stamped using Petunia Pop, Secret Sea, and Summer Splash inks. The solid image was stamped off to make the colour lighter. The floral outline was stamped at full strength.

The die cut flowers were positioned on the card front using dimensionals.

The card insert and envelope were finished using the same DSP.

I added some Secret Sea Flat Pearls to the front of the card.

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
