IT IS ANOTHER FABULOUS FRIDAY FOR A FUN FOLD CARD

My card today was inspired by Dawn Olchefske. It is a Wiper Fun Fold card. I adjusted the measurements to create a 5-3/4″x 4-1/8″ card.

The Texture Chic 12″x 12″ Specilaty Designer Series Paper is complimented beatifully by the Distressed Gold 12″x 12″ Specialty Paper.

The card base measures 9-1/4″x 4-1/8″. I scored the base at 1-3/4″ and 3-1/2″ from the right hand side of the longer side. The 2″ wide strip of 9-1/4″ card was scored at the same places.

Each piece of DSP was cut to be 1/4″ smaller than the base panels.

Three shells were stamped onto the gold paper, using Staz On Jet Black ink. Then they were die cut.

I made a small wiper panel that works just like windscreen wipers when the card opens and closes.

When the card opens, the wiper pops up and two shells appear. The shell on the front panel is positoned to disguise the other two shells.

I also used the Amazing Thanks Dies to cut out the gold sentiment. The gold specialty paper had Adhesive Sheet added to it befor it was cut.

There is a Basic White panel on the back of the card for a personal message to be be written. This panel and the envelope were also stamped with the shell outline image.

This is such a versatile suite suitable for different occasions and seasons.

I will have a new collection of products to introduce to you tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping.

THURSDAY IS ALL ABOUT 3D PROJECTS

Today I am using some new packaging from Stampin’ Up!® for my project.

The Embossed Treat Bags are a great place to start for gift giving.

EMBOSSED TREAT BAGS

Then all you need to do is decide how to decorate it.

I’m featuring the Texture Chic Suite this week but haven’t used any of the Christmas/snowflake products yet. So, I have a Christmas gift bag for you.

I started by cutting the tags using two of the Tailor Made Tags Dies. The Evening Evergreen tag was embossed using one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders.

The second tag was cut from the snowflake DSP and the Basic White tag was stamped with the Christmas greeting from the Christmas Scottie Stamp Set.

I used two of the snowflake dies, from the Chic Dies set, to cut several flakes to add to the tags and the bag.

A length of Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon (retired) to attach the tags to the handle of the bag.

This was such an easy little gift bag to create.

Tomorrow is Fun Fold Friday.

Until then, happy stamping.

A NEW Colour INKspiration CHALLENGE

I am looking forward to seeing the amazing projects everyone creates using these refreshing colours.

Using the Texture Chic Suite, which is the product collection I am featuring this week, I have a lovely card to share. I hope that you like it.

This card is all about the colours and the layers.

I started with a Night of Navy card base. Then I layered a piece of Basic White card on a slightly larger piece of Daffodil Delight card.

Adhesive sheet was added to a piece of Tahitian Tide card so that when it was run through the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I could cut the lattice background and attach it to the white panel.

I stamped and die cut three Daffodil Delight flowers. Then I attached some floral outline shapes that were cut from Basic White card.

The three Parakeet Party leaf images were die cut and added to the card front. The three Daffodil Delight layered flowers were then added using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of Basic White card before being trimmed down to place on the card front.

This suite of products is so amazing. So far I have made projects featuring the shells and flowers. I still have the snowflakes to create with. It is such a versatile collection of products!

Tomorrow is 3D Thursday and I have a great project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
