IT IS FRIDAY & TIME FOR A FUN FOLD CARD

Today I have a fun fold card that is new to me. It is a triple panel tiered display fold card.

I first ‘discovered’ it when I received a card swap, from Karen Williams, at the 2024 OnStage Live event in Melbourne … thank you Karen!

Using her wonderful swap, I was able to take measurements and create my version of this great display card.

As you can see, I used Old Olive card for each of the three layers and then Basic White card.

The Floral Delight DSP had so many great options to decorate each layer.

The greeting was stamped and die cut in the same way as my projects that I have shared this week. Adhesive Sheets are such a great resource to add to your crafting collection.

I punched three small holes and looped and secured some lengths of Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon through each of them.

This card gave loads of opportunities to layer different card and DSP layers.

The two-step stamped floral images created a wonderful feature on the inner most panel of the card.

The same two-step flower image was stamped on the back of the envelope.

As the name of this fun fold card suggests, this is a great display card.

To finish the card I adhered some of the Tiny Bee Trinkets to the smallest front panel.

Next week, I have no idea yet what I plan to share with you … but, I’m sure that I will make a decision soon.

Until then, happy stamping.

3D THURSDAY & I HAVE A GIFT BOX TO SHARE WITH YOU

I was very fortunate to receive a 3D swap when I attended the Stampin’ Up! OnStage Live event in Melbourne last year – thank you Laura Stranks for your inspiration.

Using the box that I had kept in my swaps box, I was able to use Laura’s measurements and instructions to recreate it. This is my version using the Floral Delights Suite.

The finished box measures 3″x 1 1/2″ and has a 1″ top closure.

After cutting, scoring and trimming the box base I assembled it.

I used a non-Stampin’ Up! punch to create the holes for the Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon to be threaded through and tied in a bow.

The Designer Series Paper panels measures 2 3/4″x 1 1/4″. They were glued in place using Multipurpose Adhesive Glue.

The birthday greeting was stamped and cut, minus the’you a’ prefix. After trimming the greeting, I added a thin length from the Stampin’ Dimensionals sheet.

To finish the gift box I adhered some of the Tiny Bee Trinkets to the top, front panel.

Tomorrow is Fun Fold Friday and I have a three panel 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.
