NO FUN FOLD CARD TODAY BUT A VERY CUTE CARD INSTEAD

Today’s card features some of the precut images from the images die cut sheets included in the Storybook Moments 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper pack.

I started with a Basic White card base.

Using the largest square die, from the Perrenial Postage Dies, I cut 6 stamp shapes in Balmy Blue card.

The six stamp shapes were adhered to a panel of Basic White card.

This panel was then added to the front of the card base.

I looked through all of the precut images, from the die cut images sheets, and chose 6 images to attach to the blue die cut shapes.

The greeting, from the Storybook Friends Stamp Set,was stamped on to a scrap of white card using Boho Blue ink. Then it was cut using the smallest square Perennial Postage Die.

This square was attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I chose two more precut images and added one to the card insert and the second to the back of the envelope.

This was such a super sweet and quick card to create.

It would be great for so many other events, especially a birthday.

Tomorrow I have another card featuring lots of Copper Clay pots.

Until then, happy stamping.

MR McGREGOR NEEDS SEEDS FOR HIS GARDEN

Today is Thursday and that usually means it is time for a 3D project.

I decided to use the Pocket Thoughts Dies to make a small envelope to hold some packets of seeds.

The pocket envelope base was made using Old Olive card. After assembling the base I cut and trimmed two panels of the DSP and adhered them to the front and back of the envelope ‘box’.

I stamped and coloured 4 sets of pots before die cutting them. One was added to the back of the box. For the front, one of the set of pots was stamped with a greeting and then partially coloured. The remaining two were coloured in the same way as thepots on the back of the box.

The envelope gift box holds three to four seed satchets very easily.

This makes a great gift for any green thumbed friend.

Tomorrow I have a lovely blue card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

TIME FOR SOME GARDENING

When I first saw the Storybook Moments 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper I began remembering the wonderful times spent reading the Beatrix Potter books to my daughters.

I could almost see Peter Rabbit peeking out from behind the pots, buckets and watering cans in this particular DSP design.

For this card I started with a Wild Wheat card base.

Then I adhered a panel of the DSP to a slightly larger layer of the DSP.

I took a length of Iridescent Striped Trim and coloured it with the Dark Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends pen. Then it was wrapped around the DSP/card layers and secured on the back using doubled sided tape.

A shorter length of coloured trim was then tied around the wrapped ribbon.

I used the decorative oval die to cut the Wild Wheat oval shape used for the greeting.

The stamped oval was positioned over the coloured trim using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Then I added the wheelbarrow from the sheet of die cut designs.

I added a strip of the DSP to the card insert and a larger panel to the back of the envelope.

Finally I added some of the Wild Wheat dots, from the 2023-2025 In Colour Dots, to give the card front a little bling.

Tomorrow’s card uses more of the images from the die cut sheets.

Until then, happy stamping.
