FRIDAY IS MY FUN FOLD PROJECT DAY!

This card is my interpretation of a creative challenge from one of the groups that I am part of. This is the source ofinspiration for the challenge: https://bit.ly/4lUJJtg

For my card, I have continued to use the Harvest Home Garland Kit.

I needed to create a ‘door’ that, when opened, would pull out and reveal other elements.

For this, I chose the Everyday Arches Dies to create a top opening door in a landscape card.

Using a Cajun Craze base with a panel of paper from the Woven Textures 12″x 12″ Desiger Series Paper, I used one of the Everyday Arches Dies to cut out the opening.

I cut this shape out a few more times to create a hinged ‘door’.

A length of Linen Thread was wrapped several times across the top of the card before being tid in a bow.

To decorate the front of the ‘door’, I added a Very Vanillla leaf from the kit and embossed a lighter Cajun Craze leaf with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. After these were added to the ‘door’ front, I added half an acorn.

I took a 1/2′ strip of card, folded it back 1/2″ and adhered it to the back of the ‘door’. Then I adhered two more leaves to it.

When the card is closed and the ‘door’ opened, the two extra leaves are pulled up.

The card has a panel of Very Vanilla card adhered inside.

The greeting, from the Beautiful Motifs Stamp Set, was stamped using Cajun craze ink and hen cut using the smallest of the Everyday Arches Dies. I attached it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Then I added some of the new Cajun Craze & Gold Dots to the card, both on the front and inside.

I love the way the leaves look after they are embossed.

Woohoo – I am so happy with the projects I have made this week using the Harvest Home Garland Kit.

TUESDAY IS MY DAY FOR CARD MAKING TIPS & TECHNIQUES

As I mentioned yesterday, I am featuring the Harvest Home Garland Kit and ways to use it that do not result in a garland!

The technique today is BLACK ICE.

I cut two panels of the Earthen Toned Metallic 12’x 12″ Specialty paper and then embossed them – one using the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder and the other with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Foder.

Then I dragged the Jet Black StazOn ink pad across the embossed surfaces. This is the Black ice technique

TIP: If it has been a while since you have used your StazOn, make sure you reink the pad and make it nice and juicy.

After adhering the embossed and inked metallic panel, I took a length of Basic Black twine, from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack, and separatd the four strands. Then I wrapped the strands around the stem of one of the foil leaves and tied a bow. I used some Black Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the leaf to the card.

The ‘thank you’ greeting, from the Loveliest Tree Stamp Set, was stamped onto a small piece of the Specialty Paper and cut with one of the Nested Essentials Dies. A few more dimensionals were used to add the greeting to the card front.

I added some black dots, from the Neutral Matte Dots pacl, to the front of the card.

Then some of the foil leaves were added to the card insert and back of the envelope.

The next card is a variation on the first one – it uses the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, more of the foil leaves and a different greeting, from the same stamp set.

TIP: Use a number of layered dimensionals to lift each leaf up higher than the one before.

Instead of using the separated twine to tie a bow around the leaf stem, I looped them behind the greeting panel.

Just like the first card, I added the Neutrl Matte Dots to the card front and foil leaves inside the card and on the back of the envelope.

It has been s long since I used the Black ics technique and I am so pleased that I have rediscovered it.

Have you used this technique before?

If you have please share your creations.

Tomorrow I have a new project to share with you, as well as some of the katest updates from Stampin’ Up!

Until then, happy stamping ad scrapbooking.
