Today’s card is another technique project. This time I am using dry embossing.

For this card I wanted to use up some of the left over card after I cut out the v-shaped zip panels. Each of these pieces interlock together perfectly.

I iinterlocked them and glued them to a background panel to secure them together.

For the interlocked panel and the Crushed Curry background panel, I used the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder to achieve this wonderful texture.

I wrapped some of the white baker’s twine around the corrugated multicoloured panel and tied it off in a bow.

For this card, I added the Crushed Curry embossed panel to the cardbase and trimmed it at the edges.

Then I added a Basic White panel that was stamped in Blueberry Bushel using the dotted image and had a narrow DSP panel added.

The multicoloured and embossed strip was added using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The birthday greeting was stamped and trimmed to sit on the card, at an angle.

Both the card insert and back of the envelope had the dots stamped to decorate these areas.

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

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

TUESDAY IS A TECHNIQUE KIND OF DAY

As you may now, from yesterday’s post, I am featuring the All Zipped Up Bundle and Full of Life 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

This is a wonderful pairing of products – and, the DSP is so gloriously bright and bold.

The technique I have used today is paper piecing.

I used the two long trim dies to cut the sheet of DSP and a panel of Granny Apple Green card.

After cutting the DSP and card, I alternated them and adhered them to a card panel to hold them in place.

After securing this panel to the cardbase, I stamped the greeting and added the zipper frame on either side. I trimmed this greeting panel and then attached it to the card using dimensionals.

I die cut three of the flowers and added them to the card.

Using Linen Thread, I tied a triple bow and attached it to the card using a Mini Glue Dot.

I attached a die cut flower to the back of the envelope and a strip of the DSP inside the card.

Tomorrow I have another technique card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

MEMORIES THIS MONDAY – A SCRAPBOOKING PAGE LAYOUT TO SHARE WITH YOU

This week I am featuring the All Zipped Up Bundle and Full of Life 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

I used these products to create my ‘Zipping Along Nicely’ scrapbook page.

I started by creating four ‘zip front’ pockets with tagged Basic White inserts for photos and journalling.

After adhering the pockets to the layout base, I created the cascading flowers and hearts decoration. Some of the shapes were glued directly onto the layout base while others were popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

NOTE TO SELF: Position the title before securing the cascading shapes.

The colours in the Full of Life DSP pack are bright and refreshing.

The Keeping Tabs Punch is an essential tool to have in your crafting collection.

Tomorrow I have a technique card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
