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.

IT IS THURSDAY & THAT MEANS IT IS TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

Today I have a great little 3’x 3″x 1 1/2″ gift box to share with you.

I have used Secret Sea A4 cardstock for the box and some 2025 – 2027 In Colour Designer Series Paper.

The box can be unfolded and laid flat using only ribbon to hold it closed and in shape.

I will make a vidoe showing how to make this box soon.

The Secret Sea box has been embellished using the Designer Series Paper.

When the box was formed and secured with Secret Sea Faux Linen Ribbon, I added some of the gray leaves from the Harvest Home Garland Kit.

I painted each leaf with some Clear Wink of Stella before adding them to the top of the box.

The top of the box has two halves, each with an additional 1″ vertical extension that has been punched to allow the ribbon to be threaded through.

The greeting, from the Loveliest Tree Stamp Set, was stamped and then cut using one of the Nested Essentials Dies. After adding Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the label I popped it on the box.

The final task was to add some of the Neutral Matte Dots to the box.

Untie the bow, open out the box and this is what it looks like.

Just a few crafting products can result in a great finished project.

Tomorrow I have one more project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEDNESDAY – UPDATES & A NEW PROJECT

Well, this Wednesday there is alot happening in the Stampin’ Up! world.

We have some updates about cling stamps and Stampin’ Write Markers, as well as some exciting news about new coordinating packaging for stamps and dies. Here’s a quick snapshot:

Cling Stamps (Red Rubber)
Stampin’ Up! has decided to discontinue their cling stamp line due to key raw materials becoming increasingly difficult to source, with some no longer being manufactured at all. They will continue to offer a wide range of photopolymer stamps to support various artistic styles and techniques. 

Stampin’ Write Markers
SU has also decided to discontinue Stampin’ Write Markers. With the growing popularity of Stampin’ Blends, they’ve seen a steady decline in sales of Stampin’ Write Markers. One of the primary techniques unique to Stampin’ Write Markers is colouring directly on cling stamps—a technique that will become less relevant as they transition away from cling. 

New and Improved Stamp and Die Packaging
As part of the transition away from cling stamps, SU is excited to introduce updated packaging for stamps and dies! Because photopolymer stamps are thinner, they’re able to offer sleeker, slimmer packaging that saves space. Both stamps and dies will now come in the same size and style of packaging, making it easier than ever to store bundles and coordinating products together. The new packaging is similar to current die packaging—durable, clear plastic envelopes—but with an exciting improvement: Die packaging will now feature printed artwork for quick and easy identification! Stamp packaging will continue to display artwork as well.

Today’s project is a card using the leaves from the Harvest Home Garland Kit.

I used the Dark Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends marker to flick specks of gray across the Very Vanilla panel. Then I wrapped Gray Granite Twine around it, tied a bow and then adhered it to a Basic Gray cardbase.

The three banners, from the party Banners Dies, were cut from Two-tone cardstock. So when I frayed the edges of the banners, the white core was revealed.

The banners were layered with leaves inserted within each layer.

Then I added the Soft Sea Foam and textured gray leaves on the top layer.

The birthday greeting is from the Loveliest Tree Stamp Set. After stamping it, I used one of the Nested Essentials Dies to cut it.

The card insert and envelope also had gray flecks added to them.

Finally, I added some Very Vanilla Neutral Matte Dots to the card.

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

Until then, happy staming and scrapbooking.
