FUN FOLD FRIDAY IS BACK

Today I have a Pop and Twist card to share with you.

This card started with a Basic Beige base before I prepared three overlapping elements – mottled green DSP, a die cut strip of Darling Duckling card and a patterned piece of the paper.

Before attaching the paper layes, I wrapped and threaded some white twine and tied a bow.

I stamped one of the Lily of the Valley images onto a piece of Basic Beige, die cut the image and then used a White Gel Pen to colour the flowers.

The sentiment was stamped, cut and attached to the front of the card. Then I coloured three Antique Pearls to use as embellishments.

For inside the card, I added some DSP and the pop and twist mechanism.

The four pop out panels were decorated with some of the Designer Series Paper and a stamped, die cut flower.

The card also had a white panel insert for a personalised message to be written.

I hope that you have enjoyed the projects I have shared this week using the Valley in Bloom Suite.

Next week I will feature the Velvet Meadow Suite.

Until then, happy stamping and memory keeping.

A RETURN TO MY 3D THURSDAY PROJECT SHARE

I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoy creating 3D projects – some are quite basic and others can be more complex. Either way, I see them as a great way to keep my 60+ year old brain active.

Today I have a simple tissue box to show you.

After taking the measurements of the tissue packet, I planned out my template and then thought about how to create the tissue opening – and, I found the perfect dies to do this!

As you can see, I have used some Granny Apple Green card for the box. After cutting and scoring the card, following my template and measurements, I used one of the Ouch Dies to cut the tissue opening.

Aftering carefully cutting the Valley in Bloom Designer Series Paper I attached it to each of the longer panels. I always try to have the design of the paper pieces match as they wrap around a box.

To reinforce the tissue opening I used both of the Ouch Dies (in the first image) to create a Granny Apple Green card border.

I left the top of the box unglued so that I could replace the tissues as needed. To secure the flaps, I wrapped some white baker’s twine around the box and ties a bow.

Finally, I stamped a sentiment and attached it to secure the twine.

I am so happy with the way this tissue box turned out.

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

Until then, happy stamping and memory keeping.

A WONDERFUL EASY WEDNESDAY

Today I have a super simple card to share with you. The gorgeous Valley in Bloom Drsigner Series Paper does all the work with this card.

I started with a Blackberry BLiss card base and added a panel of the DSP.

Then I added a die cut lattice element and floral stem.

I wrapped a length of Berry Burst Shiny Ribbon around the DSP.

Finally, I stamped the birthday greeting and added it to the front of the card.

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

Until then, happy stamping and memory keeping.
