TUESDAY IS ALL ABOUT TIPS & TECHNIQUES

Today I have a diorama card to share with you.

This technique is a great way to use the landscape and treeline dies in the set.

The card uses a concertinaed frame that is set inside the book-style card.

One of the cards in the September – December 2025 Mini Catalogue was the inspiration for this project.

This 6 1/2″x 4 1/2″ card has a 1/2″ spine and a 1″ wide frame on the card front.

The slightly smaller concertinaed frame was then adhered behind the card front.

Each of the background landscape and treeline elements were then die cut.

The treeline pieces were then glued into the concertina frame.

Then the landscape background was layered and adhered to a piece of card. The background was then adhered to the concertina frame and then the back page of the card.

The sentiment was stamped onto a 1″ strip of Basic White card and adhered to the card front.

TIP: Use a blending brush to add some colour to the folded concertinaed edges inside the frame.

I finished the card by adding some of the Frosted Iridescent Dots to the landscape background.

Tomorrow I will have of the latest news from Stampin’ Up! and another project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

MONDAY MEANS THAT IT IS TIME FOR SOME MEMORY KEEPING

This week I am highlighting the Lights of Aurora Suite Collection.

When I first saw this collection, in the September – December 2025 Mini Catalogue, I knew that I had the perfect photos to scrapbook.

In 2022, we travelled in Europe and visited Iceland for the first time. It was an amazing country. We hired a camper van and almost completely circumnavigated the isalnd. Needless to say, the nights could get quite chilly.

One night I got up to visit the bathroom and on the way back to the van I looked up and saw what looked like swirling white clouds. Then I realised it was the Northern Lights. I woke Rob up and grabbed my phone to take some photos. The photos revealed the lights were actually green.

Have you seen the Northern Lights in Iceland? If you have, make sure you leave me a message.

Do you like the look of our campervan?

I chose a piece Lost Lagoon Two-tone 12″x 12″ card for the base.

For the title of this page, I used Alphabet A La Mode dies to cut the letters of the place where we saw the lights. I used one of the Lights of Aurora 6″x 6″ DSP designs for the letters. These were attached to two strips of Basic Black card, using Adhesive Sheets behind each letter. Then I positioned them over some of the same paper.

I printed and trimmed the photos and attached them to Blackberry Bliss photos bases. These were then positioned on the page and adhered them in place.

The Light & Wonder Photopolymer Stamp Set was used to stamp the three sentiments used on this page. Light and MAgic were stamped and fussy cut before being popped up with Dimensionals. The ‘May your day be filled with’ was stamped onto a piece of the DSP and punched out using the new Sign Design Punch – the punch works perfectly with this stamp set.

For the journaling punched panels, I used two small cards from the Joyful Days Memories & More Card Pack. The cards were perfect because they have printed lines ready to write on and it allowed me to use three of these punched shapes on the page,

Finally I added some of the new Frosted Iridescent Dots to embellish the page.

Now it’s time to make some projects for this week. Will you join me tomorrow?

Until then, happy stamping.

FINALLY I HAVE A CARD TO SHARE WITH YOU

As I mentioned yesterday I have been working on a special project and that is why I haven’t done my usual weekly posts.

I did have a card that I haven’t posted yet – so I do have something to share today.

I recently attended a crafting get together and made 15 swap cards.

Let me know what you think – do you like it?

For this shaker card I used the 1 7/8″ circle punch to create the space for a small circle shaker dome. Then I embossed the Lost Lagoon panel with the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder.

I attached the dome to the card and filled it with Loose Shaker Elements. To secure the elements, I adhered a second Lost Lagoon panel and then added the card to a Basic White card base.

There was a slight gap between the dome and the card exposing some of the adhesive on the dome. This was perfect to hold the Lost Lagoon Soft Cording in place.

The greeting, from the Birthday Celebration Stamp Set, was stamped and die cut. The die is from the Nested Essentials Die set.

A few Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to pop the greeting up from the card front.

What have you been creating this week?

Next week I will have a full schedule of posts for you.

Until then, happy stamping.
