FINALLY IT’S FRIDAY AND TIME FOR A FUN FOLD CARD OR TWO

Today I have two cards that were inspired by one of Dawn Olchefske’s fun fold cards that I recently came across.

The fun fold is a HORIZONTAL GATE FOLD CARD.

Both cards feature the Floral Charm Suite Collection.

The Pretty Peacock card base had panels of the coordinating DSP adhered to each side.

Then two horizontal Blackberry Bliss panels were added – one on each side. These panels then had coordinating DSP added to them.

To hold the horizontal panels in place I stamped, coloured and die cut the large floral image from the Charming Day Bundle.

I looped three lengths of silver ribbon, from the Gold & Silver Trim pack, and secured them to the back of the floral shape.

The floral image was secured to the bottom horizontal panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the birthday greeting to a piece of Basic White card and used dimensionals to attach it to the top horizontal panel.

The greeting panel locks in behind the floral die cut.

The smaller floral image was stamped on the card insert and the back of the envelope.

The second card is a variation of the first one.

This one has an opening belly band instead of the horizontal flaps.

I wrapped a 1 1/2″ piece of Night of Navy card around the card and burnished the edges.

Using the Encircle with Love Stamp Set I stamped the greeting and used the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch to cut it. Then I used the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch to cut out a Night of Navy circle.

A small Velcro circle was added to the belly band to enable the band to be opened and closed.

The card insert and envelope each had more of the same DSP added to finish them.

Some gems from the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems were added to the front of the card.

Next week I will have some more projects to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

THURSDAY IS ALL ABOUT SHARING 3D PROJECTS

The Designer Series Paper in the Floral Charm Suite Collection is perfect for creating gorgeous gift bags.

I used 2 sheets of the DSP to make the bag.

The top of the bag was scored at 1 1/2″. The other three sides were scored at 3″.

After burnishing all the scored lines the bag was ready for construction. I started by turning the top down to create a contrasting rim.

After trimming the corners and folding in the scored sides I was able to fit the two bag pieces inside each other and adhere the bag together.

Once the adhesive was dry I pinched the sides of the bag together. Then I punched holes in the top edge of the bag.

I took a long length of the Petal Pink Braided Trim and coloured it to coordinate with the Berry Burst colour in the DSP.

The trim was then threaded through the holes and tied off.

I used the Paper Tags Bundle to make the tag for this bag. The greeting was stamped in Berry Burst and die cut. The heart at the top of the tag made it easy to slide over the trim. I stapled the top of the tag closed.

Now I need to find something that is all about “sunshine & laughter” to fill the bag.

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

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

Today I have another project to share woth you.

I chose another one of the designs from the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper pack and add to the Old Olive card base.

Before securing the DSP, I cut two lengths of the new Petal Pink Braided Trim and wrapped them around and secured them to the DSP with Tear and Tape.

I used the leaves die, from the Lifetime of Love Dies, to cut several Old Olive branches. The branches, with Adhesive Sheet on the back, were then added to the card front and tucked under the braided trim.

I used one of the Encircled with Love stamps for the greeting. It was stamped in Secret Sea before I punched it out with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch.

Then I punched a 1 7/8″ circle. The white circle was added to the Old Olive circle using dimensionals.

The circles were then positioned over the braided trim, again using dimensionals.

I took another length of the braided trim and pulled it apart. Taking three sets of three strands of the twine and tied three bows. These were then placed on the card front using Mini Glue Dots.

The card insert and envelope were finished using some of the same DSP.

Finally, I added some Secret Sea Flat Pearls for a little hit of bling.

Tomorrow is Thursday and that means that it is time for a 3D project.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
