Today I have a card that I created for Mother’s Day and I am calling it a Double Fold Flat Box Card. I haven’t seen this style of card before so if you have and know its “correct” name, please let me know.

For this card, I have featured the Lovely Garden Suite Collection.

To create this Fun Fold card I cut a 12″x 5 3/4″ panel of Garden Green card and scored it at 2″, 4″ and 8″. On this back panel I added strips of the Garden Green and Basic White checked DSP.

I then took two pieces of Gard Green card, measuring 12″x 2 1/4″ and scored them at the same places. I added the same green checked DSP on the top scored card and pieces of the yellow floral DSP to the bottom scored card.

I filled the front space with a stamped, coloured and die cut flower from the featured stamp set.

I used the She’s the Greatest Stamp Set to stamp the greeting, in Crushed Curry. After trimming this strip, I added a strip of Crushed Curry card behind it and then added a panel of the green checked DSP.

The greeting was then positioned on this central front section using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using Basic White Baker’s Twine, I tied a triple bow and attached it to the flower using Mini Glue Dots.

To finish the front of the card, I added some Adhesive-backed Dots for Days Crushed Curry dots.

I added a Basic White panel to the back of the card as well as a strip of the yellow floral DSP. The same DSP was added to the back of the envelope as well.

I am so pleased with how this card turned out!

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

FUN FOLD FRIDAY – TIME FOR ANOTHER PROJECT

My Fun Fold card today was inspired by Jacque Williams. It is a Never Ending Card.

When I saw Jacque’s project I tried to remember the last time I had made a Never Ending Card. So I knew it was definitely time to make another one.

The front page features the DSP, Crushed Curry card and the All Zipped Up stamp set. I have also added star and heart die cut shapes.

The second page introduces another DSP design, Blueberry Bushel card and ink, star die cuts and stamped spot images.

The third page has another DSP and more die cut stars and a heart.

The fourth and final page also features a different DSP design, Basic White panels for recording a birthday greeting and a single star die cut.

Well, I haven’t made one project that looks like a jacket or cardigan this week. I am so pleased that I found other ways to use this bundle and I hope that inspires you to think ‘outside the box’.

I haven’t decided what to feature next week – but, give me a little time and I’m sure I will have something that you will like to see.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

FAREWELL RETIRING IN COLOURS CI#186

I’m joining in this Colour INKspiration challenge a little late but am pleased to be sharing a waterfall card using all the retiring colours.

For this project I chose the Sweet Jar Bundle as the featured products.

I thought a waterfall card would be a great way to show off the retiring colours as well as a new product bundle.

I found a piece of Copper Clay Designer Series Paper, from the Take to the Sky DSP, to use for this project.

The waterfall panels are slightly larger than the ‘usual’ measurements so that the jars would have a reasonable margin around them.

The jars were stamped with the jelly bean and hearts images. I used stamped off Basic Beige to leave the image shapes. Then I coloured these images using the coordinating Stampin’ Blends.

Each of the stamped and coloured Basic White panels were mounted on a slightly larger panel of the retiring cardstock.

The waterfall mechanism was made from Pebbled Path cardstock.

I added a strip of the same DSP on the card insert and the back of the envelope.

Finally, I punched a small hole in the bottom of the mechanism and looped a length of coloured twine through the hole to assist with pulling the waterfall panels through.

Make sure to head over to our Facebook group and see what the crew has created – https://www.facebook.com/groups/349642308720075

I hope that you also create a project for this challenge and share it in the group.

The next Colour INKspiration Challenge will begin on May 14.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
