A NEW TAKE ON A WATERFALL CARD

Today’s Fun Fold card is a new variation on a waterfall card, inspired by Pamela Blackwell. Thanks Pamela for your idea.

I didn’t have the measurements so I improvised these myself.

As like all my projects this week I have used the Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper and the coordinating colours.

After cutting, scoring and burnishing the folds for this card, I added the Granny Apple Green and apple panels.

I added Adhesive Sheet to the back of some Real Red card and die cut the letters needed for the greeing, using the Alphabet A La Mode dies.

I added several Basic White panels for written messages.

One of the apples, from the DSP, was fussy cut and adhered to one of the white panels.

The bottom card panel had one of the Real Red DSP designs added. The same DSP was adhered to the back of the envelope.

Finally, I coloured some of the same sequins I have used all week. They were coloured using the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends pen.

Tomorrow I have one more project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

A GIFT BOX DESIGNED TO HOLD THREE ROLLS OF FRUIT FLAVOURED MENTOS

After measuring the three Mentos rolls, I designed this gift box.

I checked my measurements and then cut the box from an A4 piece of Daffodil Delight card stock.

Before assembling the box I cut panels of DSP and adhered them to the box base.

I enjoy taking care to match panels around the box.

Then I assembled the box.

The turn down box flap was secured with a length of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon that had been coloured with the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.

The ribbon was secured to the base of the gift box using a Mini Glue Dot. It was then tied in a bow at front of the box.

The greeting was stamped and heat embossed, with white embossing powder, then punched out and adhered to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finally, I coloured some of the sequins, from the Trio pack, using the Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends pen and added them to the front of the box.

Tomorrow I have Fun Fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

HOW TO USE A PUNCH TO CREATE A BACKGROUND FOR A CARD

This technique is so quick and easy. You can use just about any punch that you have in your collection.

For this card, I am still featuring the Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper that you can earn for FREE with any $100 AUD product order.

I have used the same colours, as yesterday, but added Azure Afternoon for a second cool colour.

I used the To The Point Label Punch again and this time, used the Ice Cream Swirl Stamp Set.

The Pumpkin Pie card base was my starting point.

I took the Basic White layer and lightly pencilled it into quarters. This then became my reference for positioning the punched shapes.

The Pumpkin Pie punched shape was the first to be adhered in place. From here I played around with placements to vary the colours and create some even spacing between them.

Then I spent some time fussy cutting the fruit images that I used on the card.

I added two fruit images to each of the five punched shapes.

The ‘sweet’ sentiment was perfect for this card. After stamping it in Pumpkin Pie ink I punched it and then trimmed it in half.

I added a strip of the Pumpkin Pie DSP to the card insert and larger piece to the back of the envelope.

Finally I coloured some of the clear sequins, using the dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Pen, before attaching them to the card front.

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

Until then, happy stamping.
