Hello and thank you for popping by. I hope you like the project that I am sharing with you today.

It’s Wednesday, so that means it is a blog hop day.

This week’s theme is Fancy Fold Cards. This is the first time I have made a Pop Up Cube card. I was inspired by a card that Lisa Curcio shared recently. Her instructions were so easy to follow.

I chose the Expressions in Ink Suite for this project. The Specialty Designer Series Paper is simply stunning. I love the gold elements that have been incorporated into the watercoloured images. For the DSP panels, that have been adhered to the cube base, I added a Gold Foil layer behoind the green and gold. This helps the DSP pop. Of course, I needed to add some of the Gold Metallic Pearls to emphasise the gold features even more.

The birthday greeting is from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set and was stamped in Polished Pink. It was cut using one of the Bloom Dies, from the Art in Bloom Bundle. Then I cut an Evening Evergreen panel to pop behind the greeting. It is attached to the inside of the card using a small circle of the same coloured cardstock which is folded in half. This creates a hinge so the greeting sits in just the right place.

The flowers and leaves were stamped and die cut. Then I ‘painted’ on some Versamark refill and used the Heat & Stick Powder to lay down some Gilded Leafing. I looped some gold Simply Elegant Trim behind one of the flowers.

The card folds down so that it can slide inside an envelope. I forgot to take a photo of the back of the card to share with you. It has two panels of Basic White cardstock. One is stamped, in Evening Evergreen, with ‘best wishes’ and both have a cluster of three small flowers stamped in Polished Pink.

I think that I will need to make more of these cards using lots of different paper designs and stamps.

Make sure that pop by to see what the Freshly Brew crew have created.

Hello and welcome. Thanks for popping by to see my latest project.

Today, I’m sharing a project I made for the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge. This is such a great photo of the galahs.

The card I made features the Henna Hearts Stamp Set along with the 2021-2023 In Colour Shimmer Vellum.

I started by stamping the heart image using my Stamparatus to space and position them evenly. The panel was trimmed down to fit the card front. The Basic Gray paenl was embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Then I used the Painted Texure 3D Embossing Folder to add texture to the Smoky Slate cardstock and Polished Pink Shimmer Vellum. I used the Triple Banner Punch to notch one end of the strip of embossed Gray Granite. These panels were then layered onto the embossed Basic Gray layer.

After the layers were secured, I wrapped and secured some Smoky Slate Textured Ribbon around this piece. Then I adhered this piece to the cardbase. I attached the hearts panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiments are from the Create with Friends Stamp Set. The ‘love’ was fussy cut and the other two words were trimmed. They were each placed on the card front with dimensionals to pop them up.

I’m getting a little better at fussy cutting around words! I like the way all these textured elements look together. Even the heart image appears to have texture.

I was surprised to realise that I haven’t used my Triple Banner Punch in quite a while! It is ever so easy to overlook some of my crafting supplies but always wonderful to ‘rediscover’ them. Do you find you do the same thing?

Happy stamping.

Hello and welcome to today’s project share. I’m so pleased that you popped by.

Today I’m using a few different products. I’ve chosen the Quiet Meadow Bundle; Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper and 2021-2023 In Colour Shimmer Vellum, Jewels and OPen Weave Ribbon.

You have to love the way the colours coordinate across so many different products. The Pale Papaya and Polished Pink in the DSP allow me to use the coordinating Shimmer Vellum and Open Weave Ribbon.

I stamped the script image on the DSP using the Stamparatus and repositioning the paper between stamping. This was also stamped on the card insert and envelope.

After I cut the Meadows stems I overlapped and adhered them to create a lovely bouquet of meadow flowers. The greeting was stamped and cut. This label die looks great with same Pale Papaya OPen Weave Ribbon looped through it. Some Polished Pink Jewels finish the card.

The Shimmer Vellum is very shimmery – no Clear Wink of Stella for this card.

I like the new background that I’m using for my photos. What do you think?

Who would you send a ‘bunch of flowers’ to? Who are you thinking of?

Happy stamping.
