TIME FOR A SATURDAY SHARE

My final Nests of Winter project is a Zigzag Fold card.

To create the zigzag card base I took a 12″ x 12″ piece of Early Espresso card and cut it along the diagonal from one 12″ corner across to 3″ on the opposite side.

Then I scored the card at 4″ and 8″.

I was able to use one sheet of the DSP to add three angled panels to both sides of the card.

TIP: When cutting these DSP panels make sure that you cut the angles in opposite directions. Look at the images, above and below, to see what I mean.

For the ‘front’ side of the card I added a piece of Basic White in the centre panel.

I also added the stamped and die cut greeting to the front panel, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A second piece of Basic White was added to the back panel for more messages to be written.

The back of the envelope had DSP added to it.

Finally, I added some Blueberry Bushel gems from the Tinsel Gems Four Pack to the front of the card.

i also added a bow made from both Blueberry Bushel adn Garden Green Linen Thread.

Thanks for checking out my projects this week. I’m not sure what next week will bring, yet, but pop by Monday to find out.

Until then, happy stamping.

WELL, WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEDNESDAY?

The exciting news this week is that I am actually in Melbourne for the 2024 Stampin’ Up! OnStage event.

OnStage is happening, across three days, at three different locations – Rotterdam, Melbourne and Houston.

The event will be filled with demonstrations, swapping, catching up with friends, crafting and getting our hands on the new 2024 – 2025 Annual Catalogue.

I will share loads of photos on my Facebook pages – I hope you have a chance to see what I’m up to.

Today I have another Latte Love project to share with you.

For this card I decided to use my favourite coffee cup rings pattern from the A Little Latte 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

I took a 2″ piece of Pecan Pie cardstock and ran it through my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I used one of the Fun Patterns Embossing Folders to add texture to the strip of card.

After adhering this embossed card to the panel of DSP, I wrapped some Gold Faux Leather Trim around the paper and tied a knot.

I adhered this DSP panel to the cardbase.

I stamped the coffee mug image directly onto the white and Lost Lagoon DSP. Then I cut the mug using the Latte Love Dies. I also cut the mug using some Early Espresso and Lost Lagoon card.

The mugs were layered and then popped onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting was stamped and die cut – with the missing die from my Autumn Leaves Dies.

I stamped the mug on the card insert and the envelope.

Finally, I added some Lost Lagoon Tinsel Gems, from the 3 pack, to the card front.

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

Until then, happy stamping.
