THURSDAY IS 3D PROJECT DAY

I always enjoy creating 3D projects and this one is a bit of a blast from the past.

When I went to school (many, many years ago) I often bought an orange flavoured frozen ice, called a Sunnyboy.

The photo shows the frozen ice I remember buying!

I used this idea to make my 3D project today – actually, I made two.

The large one used a piece of DSP measuring 12″x 6″ and the smaller one measured 6″x 6″.

These boxes are so quick and easy to make!

I filled them with mini Mars Bars because their wrappers are predominantly black.

I couldn’t decide how to finish off the box so I decided to leave it as it is.

Tomorrow I have my final Botanical Textures project card – a fun fold card.

Until then, happy stamping.

A NEW TAKE ON A WATERFALL CARD

Today’s Fun Fold card is a new variation on a waterfall card, inspired by Pamela Blackwell. Thanks Pamela for your idea.

I didn’t have the measurements so I improvised these myself.

As like all my projects this week I have used the Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper and the coordinating colours.

After cutting, scoring and burnishing the folds for this card, I added the Granny Apple Green and apple panels.

I added Adhesive Sheet to the back of some Real Red card and die cut the letters needed for the greeing, using the Alphabet A La Mode dies.

I added several Basic White panels for written messages.

One of the apples, from the DSP, was fussy cut and adhered to one of the white panels.

The bottom card panel had one of the Real Red DSP designs added. The same DSP was adhered to the back of the envelope.

Finally, I coloured some of the same sequins I have used all week. They were coloured using the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends pen.

Tomorrow I have one more project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

IT IS FRIDAY & TIME FOR A FUN FOLD CARD

Today I have a fun fold card that is new to me. It is a triple panel tiered display fold card.

I first ‘discovered’ it when I received a card swap, from Karen Williams, at the 2024 OnStage Live event in Melbourne … thank you Karen!

Using her wonderful swap, I was able to take measurements and create my version of this great display card.

As you can see, I used Old Olive card for each of the three layers and then Basic White card.

The Floral Delight DSP had so many great options to decorate each layer.

The greeting was stamped and die cut in the same way as my projects that I have shared this week. Adhesive Sheets are such a great resource to add to your crafting collection.

I punched three small holes and looped and secured some lengths of Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon through each of them.

This card gave loads of opportunities to layer different card and DSP layers.

The two-step stamped floral images created a wonderful feature on the inner most panel of the card.

The same two-step flower image was stamped on the back of the envelope.

As the name of this fun fold card suggests, this is a great display card.

To finish the card I adhered some of the Tiny Bee Trinkets to the smallest front panel.

Next week, I have no idea yet what I plan to share with you … but, I’m sure that I will make a decision soon.

Until then, happy stamping.
