TRUE LOVE TRIANGLES

Hello my crafting friends – I am so pleased that you have popped by.

I have used the TRUE LOVE DESIGNER SERIES PAPER again for today’s project. This time I teamed the DSP with the STITCHED RECTANGLES DIES to create a decagon shape. I left it open, and popped up, so that I could inset the final two triangle pieces into the space.

This gave me a chance to showcase all 12 designs of the DSP. And they pop against the Mossy Meadow card stock. I deliberately chose not to add any colour to this card other than the card stock and stamped sentiment.

I used the VINE DESIGN BUNDLE to stamp and die cut the sentiment banner.

This was also a perfect time to use some MATT BLACK DOTS.

One of the ways I enjoy using DSP is to use a strip of it on the inside of the card and on the back flap of the envelope.

Cutting the triangle shapes was so quick and easy using my MINI STAMPIN’ CUT & EMBOSS MACHINE – I call it my ‘little ‘boss‘ and my full sized machine my ‘big boss‘.

I’m very pleased with the way this card turned out. I really enjoy playing with new products AND new ideas.

What do you think?

I need to use my STITCHED TRAINGLES DIES more often!

Thanks, again, for popping by … happy stamping.

JUST ADD COLOUR

Hello lovely ones – thanks for popping by to see my latest project.

Yesterday I shared a card that used some of the TRUE LOVE DESIGNER SERIES PAPER. It only had a little bit of colouring and it was very subtle.

Today’s project brings the colour and lots of it. I used Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather and Poppy Parade Blends to colour a 2-3/8″ (6cm) strip of one of the DSP designs.

The OVAL OCCASIONS BUNDLE was perfect for this gift box. The scalloped shape from the DOUBLE OVAL PUNCH is a great size for the top of the box.

I enjoy having gift boxes on hand – ready to fill and give.

The LINEN THREAD makes an awesome multiple bow. The CLEVER CLASP holds the opening closed very effectively.

Now it’s time fill it with lots of delicious chocolates and give it to someone special.

Thanks again for popping by … happy stamping.

A NEW TWIST ON CARD MAKING

Hello – I am so pleased that you have popped by.

I don’t often make fun fold cards, so I went Googling for a few ideas. As I was scrolling through lots of ideas Icame across a twisted gate-fold card and realised that I have never made one. How is that possible?

I broke open my packet of TRUE LOVE DESIGNER SERIES PAPER for this card.

The card base was cut to 8-1/4″x 5-3/4″ (21cm x 14.5cm) and scored it along the longer side at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″ (7cm and 14cm).

Then I scored the left and right hand panels diagonally, as you can see.

I cut several pieces of the DSP to 5-1/2″x 2-1/2″ (13.9cm x 6.3cm). Three of the pieces were cut diagonally.

I coloured just a scattering of flowers and leaves on the panels. I also coloured some Pearl Basic Jewels for the front panel.

The sentiment, on the front of the card, comes from the HEAL YOUR HEART STAMP SET and the greeting inside the card is from the DRAGONFLY GARDEN STAMP SET. Both were stamped in Mint Macaron.

I used one of the dies from the STITCHED SO SWEETLY DIES to cut the front Mint Macaron panel. I fussy cut one of the large flowers from the DSP and coloured it using my Mint Macaron and So Saffron Blends. I also added Clear Wink of Stella to the flower.

I wanted to add a white panel to the back of the card for messages to be written for the recipient.

Who has done a kindness for you recently?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
