IT IS THURSDAY & TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

Last week, during the first Virtual Album Retreat that Stampin’ Up! hosted we created an explosion box for one of the page layouts.

I decided to create a Christmas Explosion 3D Card using the same measurements we used for the album page.

The explosion box was made using Old Olive card and used the tree design paper from the Weekend Adventures 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

Then I added panels of Basic White card and a variety of designs from the DSP pack.

The card had several pockets added to allow for giftcards and photos.

I used one of the dies from the Party Banners Dies to cut some gold reinforcement circles to finish the 1/8″ circle I punched using one of the Hole Punch Assortment pack.

Then I used some retired ribbon to create a wrap and bow to hold the box closed.

I added a shaker card in the centre of the explosion box using Loose Gold Sequins.

For the bauble die cut and the greeting I used the Bauble Blooms Bundle. To finish the bauble I added a die cut gold hangtag.

Tomorrow I have a fun fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

TWO FOR ONE WEDNESDAY

Today I have two projects to share with you because I had to work on some web hosting issues yesterday.

The first project features measuring as the key technique – simple I know. My tip is to use your grid paper to map out your layout.

The card also features the Weekend Adventure Scrapbooking Workshop Kit products.

I added a Basic White panel to the Cajun Craze card base.

Then I cut six 1 1/2″x 1 1/2″ Cajun Craze squares and six 1″x 1″ checkered Designer Series Paper squares. After adhering them together I positioned them on the card front.

I added three of the printed and precut elements, from the kit, to the card. They were all popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The bottom tag had lengths of the White Baker’s Twine looped through the hole and trimmed.

The card insert and back of the envelope had more of the DSP adhered to them.

Finally, I added some black dots from the Neutral Matte Dots to embellish the card front.

The second project today is another simple card using just the products from the kit.

This card features paper tearing as the key technique. The tip for paper tearing is to hold the paper firmly and tear the paper slowly toward you – this will reveal the white centre of the paper or card you are using.

I looped the White Baker’s Twine around my fingers several times before seucirng it to the base of the scalloped element.

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

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

MEMORY KEEPING MONDAY IS ALWAYS FUN

This week I am featuring the Weekend Adventures Scrapbooking Workshop Kit and the coordinating Scrapbooking frmo Scratch products.

This kit has everything needed (excluding adhesives) to make the three two-page layouts (167315 $65AU).

You can also create even more layouts using these supplimentary products, including the Weekend Adventure Designer Series Paper & Sticker Sheet (167314 $29.95AU).

The Weekend Adventure Photopolymer Stamp Set has a fantastic variety of images and greetings for memorykeeping and card making (167318 $35).

You can also add the coordinating Weekend Adventure Two-Tone card to continue your creative endeavours (167324 $21).

I followed the layout instructions to recreate the kit designs.

The three layouts do not have any stamping on them but that is something you can add if you want to.

I love the brickwork look on the top page and all the layered elements on both pages.

This page also has many overlapping layers.

Then I created my own single page design using the more of the products on my desk.

This simple layout includes stamping across the central Old Olive strip. I would love to have the boot print as a stamp.

Tomorrow I have a technique card, and some tips, to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
