TIME FOR A TUESDAY CRAFTING TREAT

As mentioned yesterday, I am featuring the Pop UP Petals bundels this week.

I recently watched a Facebook video from Sara Douglass, Stampin’ Up! CEO. In this video she shared a fold-out card using the Pop Up Petals Dies.

The finished card measures 3 1/4″x 3 1/8″ and has 6 fold out pages.

Here is a link to her video: https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=2011017319662292

For my version, I used Basic White and Cherry Cobbler cardstock.

The Cherry Cobbler outer layer was made using two pieces of card – 9 5/8″x 3 1/4″ (scored at 3 1/8″, 6 1/8″ and 9 1/8″) and 9 1/8″x 3 1/4″ (scored at 3″ and 6″).

The Basic White inner layer was made using two pieces of card – 12″x 3″ (scored at 3″, 6″ and 9″) and 6 1/2″x 3″ (scored at 1/2″ and 3 1/2″).

I used the large die to create the three pop up panels across the Basic White card insert.

After burnishing all the fold lines, the insert was adhered inside the card cover.

To complete the card I used the Christmas Tags & More Mix & Match Specialty Designer Series Paper, Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera and White Ribbon.

To decorate the inside of the card Icut the word ‘merry’ using the Party ALphabet Dies and Adhesive Sheets.

After making this card, I decided to create a larger version of it – 6″x 3 1/8″.

I will share them with you over the next 2 days.

Until then, happy stamping.

TRADITIONS OF CHRISTMAS THIS WEEK

You may have noticed that I have not posted any projects over the last few weeks. I have been traveling with Rob and we enjoyed time in Vietnam and Cambodia.

I made these projects just before we left and ran out of time to post them.

This week I am featuring the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection.

Today I have a 6″x 6″ card featuring dry embossing as my Tuesday Technique.

The Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder leaves a stunning design on the Basic White card.

I stamped the greeting before cutting the curved banner. Then I cut a second banner in Real Red and cut it in half before adhering it to the top and bottom of the white banner creating a red ‘shadow’.

Before attaching the banner to the front of the card I added some Real Red Shiny Ribbon.

I stamped ” ‘Tis the Season” inside the card before adding some of the Traditional Sparkling Sequins.

Tomorrow I have another card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

IT IS THURSDAY & TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

Last week, during the first Virtual Album Retreat that Stampin’ Up! hosted we created an explosion box for one of the page layouts.

I decided to create a Christmas Explosion 3D Card using the same measurements we used for the album page.

The explosion box was made using Old Olive card and used the tree design paper from the Weekend Adventures 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

Then I added panels of Basic White card and a variety of designs from the DSP pack.

The card had several pockets added to allow for giftcards and photos.

I used one of the dies from the Party Banners Dies to cut some gold reinforcement circles to finish the 1/8″ circle I punched using one of the Hole Punch Assortment pack.

Then I used some retired ribbon to create a wrap and bow to hold the box closed.

I added a shaker card in the centre of the explosion box using Loose Gold Sequins.

For the bauble die cut and the greeting I used the Bauble Blooms Bundle. To finish the bauble I added a die cut gold hangtag.

Tomorrow I have a fun fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
