TIME FOR SOME WEDNESDAY UPDATES & A CARD WITH RUFFLES.

The first update is to remind you that the Virtual Album Retreat is happening from 17-19 July.

All you need to do, to join in, is order the Retreat Kit.

In early July you will receive an email from Stampin’ Up! with details about how to join the exclusive Facebook group where the three days of live event will be streamed.

After the event you can access the recorded event videos on the Virtual Album Retreat Facebook group page.

If you order your kit through me, you will be invited to an exclusive event that I will be hosting in Brisbane. This event will give you the opportunity to meet fellow paper crafters, finish your layouts and have some fun.

Today’s card uses a Petal Pink card base and a piece of the Boho Vibes DSP.

To create the ruffle feature, I cut four lengths of the Mossy Meadow DSP and used an uneven fan fold technique. I turned the ruffle over and applied small amounts of Multipurpose Glue to secure the folds in place.

The ruffle was then glued to the Basic White and DSP panel. Then I wrapped a length of Petal Pink Scalloped Ribbon around the ruffle.

This panelmwas then adhered to the card base.

The greeting was stampe, three times, in Mossy Meadow and then cut using one of the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Each of the greetings were then added to the card front using the dimensionals.

The card insert and back of the envelope were then finished with DSP.

Finally I added some Mossy Meadow Muted Palette Dots.

Tomorrow is my 3D day so I have a triangular gift box to share with you.

Untilthen, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR SOME FEATURES AND A FUN FOLD CARD

This week has been all about MORE THAN AUTUMN.

The More than Autumn Bundle includes the More than Autumn Stamp Set and the More than Autumn Dies.

The More than Autumn Bundle has fun stamps and dies for creating autumn-themed and winter-themed accents for cards, scrapbooks, and more.

The stamp set comprises 36 photopolymer stamps, including 13 images and 23 words/phrases. It also has 23 dies, including 15 shapes (12 of which coordinate with the image stamps) and 7 words/phrases. The largest diemeasures 1 5/8″ x 1 3/8″.

REMEMBER: When you buy a current bundle, you save 10%!

My fun fold card today is a Circle Cut Out Card.

It has been quite a while since I used any of the Moody Mauve products, so I decided to use it for this project. I thought Moody Mauve coloured icing on the doughnuts would be perfect.

I started with the Moody Mauve card base and used one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies to cut the centre section out of the card front. Then I took a slightly smaller panel of Lost Lagoon DSP from the Subtles 6″x 6″ DSP, and placed it under the card front and traced the circle cut out. Then I was able to position the same die accurately. When the circle was cut, I was able to adhere the DSP panel on the card front.

For the white interior of the card I cut a piece of Basic White card, measuring 5 5/8″ x 4″. I scored and folded it at 4 3/8″ and then at 2 3/16″. I used my Bone Folder to create crisp folds in the card.

I adhered the white insert insode the card.

Then, after closing the card, I was able to position the Moody Mauve die cut circle inside the corresponding space on the card front. From there, I was able to adhere half the circle to the folded white insert.

I cut a second Moody Mauve circle and two, smaller white circles.

After looping some Moody Mauve Jute behind one of the white circles, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals and popped on the front Moody Mauve circle.

I alyered and adhered the other two circles and added them to the inside of the card.

Then I stamped, coloured and die cut four doughnuts and added them to the card. I also stamped and coloured another doughnut on the back of the envelope.

For the front of the card, I stamped the greeting and cut the banner using one of t he Stylish Shapes Dies. It was popped up on the card with dimensionals.

The final step was to add some Moody Mauve bling from the 2023-2025 In Colour Dots pack.

See you Monday with some new Stampin’ Up! products and projects to share.

Until then, happy stamping.
