IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR A FABULOUS FUN FOLD CARD

My card today is inspired by an Easy Explosion Card that Patty Bennett recently shared. As she mentioned, this is a great card for using your 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

Thank you Patty!

Here is the card she inspried.

I started with a Timid Tiger card base and then used a 6″x 6″ piece of one of the Celebratory Sips DSP for the exploding card insert.

The card front had a 4 1/8″x 4 1/8″ panel of Old Olive card and a 4″x 4″ piece of the DSP.

I stamped the greetnig, in Timid Tiger, and then cut it with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies circles.

Then I cut an Old Olive circle from the Spotlight on Nature Dies set.

Before layering the circles and adding them to the card front, I cut a strip of Secret Sea card and a length of Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon, to place behind them.

I added one of the fussy cut glasses to the card front.

The exploding insert is very easy to create.

I added Basic White and Old Olive square die cuts inside the card.

The same greeting from the front of the card was also stamped inside.

Finally, I added one of the fussy cut glasses inside the card.

I’m not sure what I will be featuring next but I will have something for you – stay tuned!

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEDNESDAY

Last June, Stampin’ Up! introduced a new blog on their US website. You can find it now by clicking on the logo below.

Take the time to check it out and find loads of inspiration.

Today’s card was inspired by an image on the Stampin’ Up! Online Store. I decided to CASE it (copy and share everything).

I kept most of the features of the original card (above) but added my own spin.

I used an additional panel of the Designer Series Paper and switched the arrangement of the DSP and cardstock.

I used three of the tall, textured and die cut vases. Two were coloured using blending brushes and Peach Pie and Secret Sea ink.

Before placing the vases on the card front I stamped, cut and coloured the three different leaf stems and adhered them to the back of the vases.

The card insert and back of the envelope both had the Cloud Cover DSP added.

The greeting was stamped and cut with one of the banner dies.

Finally I added some Metallic Gems to the card front.

Tomorrow I have a 3D gift box to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

TUESDAY IS ALL ABOUT TIPS & TECHNIQUES

Today I have a shaker card to share with you. It is a great technique that suits so many products.

As I am featuring the Celebratory Sips Suite Collection, I decided to make a card with three cut out glasses to show the shaker elements.

I die cut the three glasses and then secured a window sheet panel behind it.

Using Foam Adhesive Sheets, I created a border to hold the shakers elements in place and an outer border to hold the shaker elements in place.

I filled the shaker space with lots of images that I fussy cut from a sheet of DSP.

An extra Basic White panel was placed behind the card front and shaker elements. Then I adhered this shaker layer to a Granny Apple Green card base.

The greeting was stamped in Versamark, and then heat embossed with the Ebony Wow Embossing Powder, three times.

Using one of the square dies, from the Stylish Shapes Dies, was used to cut the greetings down to perfectly sized rectangles.

I used Multipurpose Glue to glue them in place and a Mini Glue Dot to attach each end to the wondow sheet.

Using more of the fussy cut images, I decorated the card front, card insert and back of the envelope.

Finally, I added some of the black Classic Matte Dots to the card front.

With the DSP in this collection it is very easy to step this shaker card up to another level.

Essentially the same card but I added some colour behind the shaker space before adding the shaker elements.

The greeting was created in the same way ut was cut using one of the banner dies from the Stylish Shapes.Dies.

The card insert and back of the envelope had fussy cut glasses added.

To finish the card I added some Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix sequins to the front of the card.

It’s always fun to ‘recreate’ a card design but step it up a bit.

Tomorrow I have a ‘CASEd’ card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
