MEMORYKEEPING MONDAY IS NOW MY THING!

I’m back from my week away and looking forward to sharing some projects using the Birthday Fancy Kit ($44 166211).

The kit comes with everything you need to make these 12 individual cards.

My projects this week will use these kit items to make completely different projects.

I made a two page scrapbooking layout using some of the kit items but also added some other bits and pieces from my stash.

I started by adhering some strips of Cloud Cover and Lost Lagoon card on each of the pages.

The next step was to add a 6″x 4″ Basic White photo placecard onto a 1 1/2″x 4 1/2″ Cloud Cover matte.

The titles for each page were made by adding Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Lost Lagoon card and cutting the letters with the Playful Alphabet Dies.

The journalling panels were made using the notebook Just a Note dies. I used the coordinating stamp set to add the Lost Lagoon lines on the notebook die cut. The notebook pages were then adhered to another Cloud Cover panel.

I used the tab and paperclip dies to cut these shapes and add them to the notebook page.

Then I decorated both pages using the decorative elements from the kit.

I think these pages would be great for photos from a birthday gathering or a high tea. What photos would you add to these pages?

Tomorrow I have a card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbboking.

MONDAY MORNING AND IT IS TIME TO ANNOUNCE THAT I AM ON HOLIDAYS THIS WEEK

While the school holidays are on I am taking this week off to spend time with Rob.

We are heading to the Gold Coast today for a couple of days and then just enjoying each other’s company – and a lovely, belated anniversary lunch.

I have made all the projects to share with you next week. I will be featuring the just released Birthday Fancy Kit (166211 $44AU).

I have not made any of the cards that are suggested in the kit but have looked at alternative uses for the kit. I hope you will join me next week to see whar I have created.

Until then, Happy stamping and scrapbooking.

FINALLY IT’S FRIDAY AND TIME FOR A FUN FOLD CARD OR TWO

Today I have two cards that were inspired by one of Dawn Olchefske’s fun fold cards that I recently came across.

The fun fold is a HORIZONTAL GATE FOLD CARD.

Both cards feature the Floral Charm Suite Collection.

The Pretty Peacock card base had panels of the coordinating DSP adhered to each side.

Then two horizontal Blackberry Bliss panels were added – one on each side. These panels then had coordinating DSP added to them.

To hold the horizontal panels in place I stamped, coloured and die cut the large floral image from the Charming Day Bundle.

I looped three lengths of silver ribbon, from the Gold & Silver Trim pack, and secured them to the back of the floral shape.

The floral image was secured to the bottom horizontal panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the birthday greeting to a piece of Basic White card and used dimensionals to attach it to the top horizontal panel.

The greeting panel locks in behind the floral die cut.

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

The second card is a variation of the first one.

This one has an opening belly band instead of the horizontal flaps.

I wrapped a 1 1/2″ piece of Night of Navy card around the card and burnished the edges.

Using the Encircle with Love Stamp Set I stamped the greeting and used the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch to cut it. Then I used the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch to cut out a Night of Navy circle.

A small Velcro circle was added to the belly band to enable the band to be opened and closed.

The card insert and envelope each had more of the same DSP added to finish them.

Some gems from the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems were added to the front of the card.

Next week I will have some more projects to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
