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.

FUN FOLD FRIDAY – IT’S DEFINITELY A THING

Today I have a variation of a flip fold card. I was inspired by a card that I saw somewhere online and sadly I can’t find the name of the very creative person who shared their project.

I have used the Joyful Squares Bundle and Square Snippets DSP again for this project.

The All in a Row Embossing Folder added the wonderful texture to this card.

When the top flap is opened, a second smaller card is revealed.

Lift the flap of this card and then you have a great space for writing a message to the recipient.

The card front was decorated with an embossed panel, a piece of the DSP, a Cajun Craze square, a Secret Sea die cut frame, three die cut leaves, a die cut scalloped piece, a stamped piece of DSP and some Secret Sea Flat Pearls.

I am so happy with the way this card turned out. What do you think?

Tomorrow I will have an extra project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

FUN FOLD FRIDAY HAS ARRIVED – TIME FOR SOME FUN

For my Friday Fun Fold card I have an Easel Card for you, featuring the Beach Boardwalk Suite Collection.

I will definitely need to make some more projects, using this Suite, because I haven’t even touched the Puffy Stickers yet.

I couldn’t resist using the palm trees paper again!

In addition to the DSP, I die cut three palm trees and addded them to the grove of trees. I thinly cut strips of Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the trees up over the DSP palms.

The greeting was stamped on a scrap of Basic White card and trimmed to a neat rectangle. I used Dimensionals to add the greeting to the card front.

The ribbon embellishment was created by cutting a length of Secret Sea Bordered Open Weave Ribbon, fraying it and then tying a multiple-looped bow. I secured it place using a Mini Glue Dot.

I coloured some Antique Pearls using the dark Secret Sea Stampin’ Blend pen and added them as ‘coconuts’ to one of the palms.

Now, let’s check out the easel.

I added a strip of the DSP at the bottom edge of the Basic White card insert. This works as the edge to hold the card front up.

Some extra coloured Pearls were added to this DSP panel.

I stamped the greeting on the Basic White card insert before adhering another die cut palm tree.

This week was fun – I hope you enjoyed all my shares.

Make sure you leave me a comment to tell which is your favourite project.

Next week I will have another amazing collection of products to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
