FUN FOLD FRIDAY HAS ARRIVED

Hello and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday share.

Today I have two Triangle Fold Intersecting Cards to show you. The only difference between them is the DSP designs I have chosen from the Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper and ribbons that coordinates with them.

I love these new pears inspired paper designs. There are 12 different designs in each pack – 2 each of 6 double-sided papers.

Aren’t they stunning?

Both card bases are Secret Sea, one of my new favourite colours.

Then I cut triangular panels from card to add the DSP triangles to.

Before adhering the triangular layers to the card base, I secured two lengths of the chosen ribbons so that I could create a bow closure on the card front.

I added more of the DSP patterns to the card insert and the back of the envelope.

Tomorrow I have a bonus project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

COLOUR inkSPIRATION CHALLENGE #190

It has been a while since I joined in the Colour INKspiration Challenges but I have made it back – albeit a day late!

This Challenge #190 runs from Wednesday 25 June to Monday 7 July.  Fellow Crew member, Nikki Spencer chose the photo for this Challenge which inspired our analogous colour scheme.  

This time we are joined by the lovely Yvonne Spikmans Van-Bruggan from The Creative Teacup, as our Guest Designer.  

For this card I combined several products – Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder and the stamp sets Charming Day, Elements of Text and The Right Words.

It was wonderful to combine all the stamped images and the texture from the embossing folder and distressed edges.

I do love a card with layered elements!

The floral image was stamped on the card insert and the back of the envelope.

If you are feeling INKspired , I hope you decide to join the challenge!

Iust reminder to use ALL the Challenge colours unless stated. If you don’t have the colours in our palette, feel free to use the closest Stampin’ Up! substitute – Pecan Pie instead of Cajun Craze for example. We also allow Ivory, Bronze and Natural Tones in the Stampin’ Blends and Neutrals such as Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Basic Beige and Metallics.

Make sure you check out the other projects I have created this week.

Happy stamping and scrapbooking.

IT’S TIME FOR A 3D THURSDAY SHARE

I recently bought a raspberry scented soap to create a gift box to pop it in. When we have guests I like to place a gift box, with soap in it, on their bed.

The soap was a perfect match to Melon Mambo card and the pinks in the Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper.

After creating the gift box I added a piece of the DSP to the top of the lid.

I used one of the stamps from the new Encircled in Love Stamp Set. It was stamped using the Secret Sea ink. Then I coloured the bow using the Light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend.

The 1 3/4″ circle punch was used to punch out the stamped image. A length of Swcret Sea Faux Linen Ribbon and secured it under the circle.

Then I took the new 1 7/8″ circle punch and cut a Daffodil Delight circle to position under the white circle.

Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I attached the circles to the top of the box.

Tomorrow I have two fun fold cards to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
