FUN FOLD FRIDAY

I have a Spanner Panel card to share with you today. It’s the first time that I have made one of these.

This is the last project using the Awash in Beauty Suite for the moment. I will have another collection of new products from the 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalogue to showcase from Saturday.

The Spanner Panel card begins as a standard landscape card. Then I cut the front panel into 3 parts, with each side piece measuring 1-1/4″, leaving a 3-1/4″ centre panel.

These three panels were then decorated with Callpso Coral cardstock and Awash with Beauty Designer Series Paper.

Then a 1-1/2″ strip of Window Sheet was attached to the two side flaps.

The greeting was stamped on a strip of Calypso Coral cardstock and then positioned along the Window Sheet.

I took some of the DSP and die cut several flowers to decorate the fromt of the card.

When the first layer of the card is lifted, the centre panel remains in place.

When the centre panel is lifted, a place to write a message is revealed.

I like this card fold and plan to make many more!

Tomorrow I will have some new products to showcase for the week.

Until then, happy stamping.

IT’S THURSDAY AND TIME TO SHARE A 3D PROJECT

I have a cute little gift box to share with you today.

This little Balmy Blue gift box looks great with the coordinating Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper. It’s so pretty.

The greeting is from the True Beauty Stamp Set. It was stamped on a 3/4″ strip of Balmy Blue cardstock. I used the Banners Pick a Punch to shape the ends.

I cut a length of the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon in half and then coloured one using my Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend pen and the other using my Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blend pen.

I always enjoy making sweet little gift boxes.

Tomorrow is Fun Fold Friday and I have a Spanner Panel card to share.

Until then, happy stamping.

TIME TO SHARE THIS WEEK’S GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT ENTRY

I enjoy participating in design challenges. This week the Global Design team have given us a colour challenge.

As I am featuring the Awash in Beauty Suite this week, I needed to stop and think how I could bring these colours and use them with these products. None of the challenge colours are used in the Designer Series Paper, so it was going to be stamping as the focus … and, some cardstock.

Here is the end result.

I used Adhesive Sheets on the back of the Starry Sky card stock to attach it to the card front.

The die, from the Organic Beauty Dies, was used three times to create a multitude of diamond shapes. I used them to fill some of white spaces. In places there were up to five diamonds layered on top of each other.

The flowers and stems were stamped in each colour and then die cut. They were then positioned on the card front and secured with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Glue.

I cit a length of Petal Pink Soft Polyester Ribbon in half and tied a small bow.

I gave the centres of the flowers a light brush of Clear Wink of Stella.

The envelope and inside of the card were both stamped in Sweet Sorbet.

I have another colour challenge to share with you later today and I have decided to use a very similar layout just to see which one I prefer.

Until then, happy stamping.
