FUNFOLD FRIDAY

Today’s Funfold card is a Pop Up Diorama Card. This is the first time that I have made this type of card and I made two – I hope that you like them.

These are the last projects using the Hues of Happiness Collection for this week.

The first card features a Melon Mambo card base and a piece of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper.

The Melon Mambo frame is from the Fabulous Frames Dies set. I stamped the greeting, from the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set, onto a Basic White panel before wrapping the bow around it. The White Glittered Organdy Ribbon was coloured using the Dark Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blend. Then Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back of the panel and it was placed, at an angle, over the frame.

A few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels were colouredwith Stampin’ Blends and attached to the card front.

When the card is opened the pop up diarama is revealed.

Inside the card, I added several flowers that were die cut from the DSP.

I stamped a flower onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered it inside the card. The same flower was stamped on the front of the envelope.

The depth of the diarama card is 1/2″.

The second card was created in the same way, using Night of Navy as an alternative colour.

Which card do you prefer – Melon Mambo or Night of Navy?

Tomorrow I will begin a new week of projects with a new bundle of products.

Until then, happy stamping.

3D THURSDAY GIFT BOX

For my 3D project today I decided to use the new Cracker & Treat Box Dies in a different way.

CRACKER & TREAT BOX DIES

I cut one cracker box in Night of Navy A4 cardstock and one from a piece of the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. Then I cut away one triangular section from each.

The next step was to use Stampin’ Seal+ to create the top and bottom halves of the cracker gift box.

I used white baker’s twine, from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack, to draw in the ends of the cracker and tie a bow.

The diamond shapes that were cut away when the cracker was cut. I adhered them to the Night of Navy cracker bottom.

The greeting, from the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set, was stamped and trimmed before being threaded on the baker’s twine.

The DSP cracker top slides over the Night of Navy cracker bottom.

This cracker gift box holds a Clear Wink of Stella.

This would make a great team gift. What do you think?

I think that I will make my bonbons this way for Christmas this year.

Tomorrow I will have a funfold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

A WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY WELCOME TO THE LATEST Colour INKspiration CHALLENGE

This Colour INKspiration challenge features the new 2022 – 2024 In Colours. Here is the image that inspired this challenge.

I decided to use all five – I know. Crazy, right?

I used the new Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder and decided to use the In Colour Stampin’ Blends to colour the flowers and leaves. When I finished colouring, I realised how much the embossed layer looks like coloured embossingpaste.

I used Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party and Sweet Sorbet to colour the embossed layer. The card base uses Starry Sky cardstock.

The greeting was stamped using Tahitian Tide on Basic White. I cut a piece of Tahitian Tide cardstock to adhere the greeting. The spiral torn paper die was used for the top of this piece.

The embossed layer and greeting piece each had Stampin’ Dimensionals added so that I could pop them up on the card front.

To finish the card, I added some Brushed Brass Butterflies – on the card front, inside and on the envelope.

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

Until then, happy stamping.
