MEMORIES THIS MONDAY – A SCRAPBOOKING PAGE LAYOUT TO SHARE WITH YOU

This week I am featuring the All Zipped Up Bundle and Full of Life 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

I used these products to create my ‘Zipping Along Nicely’ scrapbook page.

I started by creating four ‘zip front’ pockets with tagged Basic White inserts for photos and journalling.

After adhering the pockets to the layout base, I created the cascading flowers and hearts decoration. Some of the shapes were glued directly onto the layout base while others were popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

NOTE TO SELF: Position the title before securing the cascading shapes.

The colours in the Full of Life DSP pack are bright and refreshing.

The Keeping Tabs Punch is an essential tool to have in your crafting collection.

Tomorrow I have a technique card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. As you read through this post, you will see the products I used for this project. The new items are available from early May.

IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR A FABULOUS FUN FOLD CARD

My card today is inspired by an Easy Explosion Card that Patty Bennett recently shared. As she mentioned, this is a great card for using your 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

Thank you Patty!

Here is the card she inspried.

I started with a Timid Tiger card base and then used a 6″x 6″ piece of one of the Celebratory Sips DSP for the exploding card insert.

The card front had a 4 1/8″x 4 1/8″ panel of Old Olive card and a 4″x 4″ piece of the DSP.

I stamped the greetnig, in Timid Tiger, and then cut it with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies circles.

Then I cut an Old Olive circle from the Spotlight on Nature Dies set.

Before layering the circles and adding them to the card front, I cut a strip of Secret Sea card and a length of Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon, to place behind them.

I added one of the fussy cut glasses to the card front.

The exploding insert is very easy to create.

I added Basic White and Old Olive square die cuts inside the card.

The same greeting from the front of the card was also stamped inside.

Finally, I added one of the fussy cut glasses inside the card.

I’m not sure what I will be featuring next but I will have something for you – stay tuned!

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

THURSDAY IS TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

Today’s 3D project is a 3″x 3″x 3″ cube gift box with a fold over lid.

I used Blackberry Bliss cardstock to create the box.

I carefully cut one of the DSP designs to ensure the pattern of the design aligned around the boc.

After adhering the DSP panels to the box I punched a slot for the ribbon and then constructed the box.

I coloured a length of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon and tied it around the box and tied a bow.

The greeting was stamped and cut using one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies. A Blackberry Bliss was cirlce was alos cut using another of the Spotlight on Nature Dies.

The two circles were joined using Stampin’ Dimensionals and then, after adding more dimensionals to the Blackberry Bliss circle, I positioned the circles over the ribbon on the top of the box.

The final touch was to colour some Metallic Gems to add to the lid of the box.

Tomorrow I have a Fun Fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
