HAVE A GREAT BIRTHDAY MASCULINE CARD

This card was inspired by an amazing new fun fold card that Rose Coleman created – a Funky Diagonal Fun Fold Card.

This is the card that inspired me –

My card uses the Waterside Retreat products and it is similar to Rose’s creation.

This card gave me an opportunity to stamp, colour and die cut the adironack chair using the Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends and a Colour Lifter Pen.

I stamped the greeting and used the Modern Oval Punch to cut it out.

Several buoys and liferings were fussy cut and added to the card front.

Finally, I wrapped some Linen Thread around the diagonal element and tied a Loose Anchor Trinket to it.

Huge call out to Rose Coleman for sharing her creation so that other crafters, like me, can be inspired.

Tomorrow I have a gift box to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and memory keeping.

FUN FOLD FRIDAY IS BACK

Today I have a Pop and Twist card to share with you.

This card started with a Basic Beige base before I prepared three overlapping elements – mottled green DSP, a die cut strip of Darling Duckling card and a patterned piece of the paper.

Before attaching the paper layes, I wrapped and threaded some white twine and tied a bow.

I stamped one of the Lily of the Valley images onto a piece of Basic Beige, die cut the image and then used a White Gel Pen to colour the flowers.

The sentiment was stamped, cut and attached to the front of the card. Then I coloured three Antique Pearls to use as embellishments.

For inside the card, I added some DSP and the pop and twist mechanism.

The four pop out panels were decorated with some of the Designer Series Paper and a stamped, die cut flower.

The card also had a white panel insert for a personalised message to be written.

I hope that you have enjoyed the projects I have shared this week using the Valley in Bloom Suite.

Next week I will feature the Velvet Meadow Suite.

Until then, happy stamping and memory keeping.

ONSTAGE AFTER HOURS & BEYOND

During my long absence from posting my projects here, I spent 9 weeks travelling with my husband. During our adventures, we spent time in Germany where I attended the Stampin’ Up! Onstage event.

One of the features of the event was ‘After Hours’, an evening of extra card mkaing. We were given a kit containing the Fern & Flora Bundle, Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper and the cardstock we needed to create four projects.

These are the cards I brought home with me from the conference.

When I returned home, my preordered Moonlit Flora Suite (and quite a few other goodies) was waiting for me.

THe first card I made was a fun fold card.

All the panels in this fun fold card gave me lots of areas to feature the designs of the paper.

To decorate the card front, I die cut several leaf stems in vellum, Mossy Meadow and Basic White. I also stamped and die cut 3 butterflies.

I cut a length of Peaceful Pine Bordered Ribbon and cut the border to create a thin ribbon strip. Then I looped the ribbon under the greeting panel.

To embellish the card front I added some Secret Sea Dewdrops.

I added a white panel to the card for a personal message to be written.

Check in tomorrow to see some other ideas for this suite.

Until then, happy stamping.
