Paper Rose Love and Daydreams Collection | W Gift Card | Fun Fold

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose Studio

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8)

Feature Panel Size 10 x 14.4cm (3 7/8 x 5 9/16) 

 

I originally came across another version of this card from Dawn Griffin but I made a few changes.

 

I have used 3 pieces of patterned paper as I don't have a lot of 12x12 paper. However if you wish to use a larger piece you will need one that measures 13 x 25 cm. Along the 25cm edge score it at 8,11 and 14cm

 

The card base is a standard Australian card folded in half.

 

If you are using 6x6 paper collection you will need:

8cm x 13cm (x3)

 

Take one and score it on the 8cm side at 1cm, 4cm and 7cm. This will form our middle panel. Fold this to make a unusually W shape. Adhere one of the other pieces to the small tab on the left side. With the remaining piece, measure down the right hand side at 6cm. Use a cutter or ruler and trim off from the top left side down to the mark on the right side and this will be the holder for the gift card.

 

On the middle panel cut a slit on the tab (small panel on the right side) so you do not see the diagonal panel we just cut when you adhere the holder. Glue the diagonal panel to the tab on the right hand side. 

 

To add this to your card, apply glue to the far left panel and place this in the middle of your card base on the left side. Fold your patterned paper closed. Being careful to only apply glue around the edges so you still have a pocket for your gift card and not along the top edge and then close the back of the card up. Allow to dry. Decorate as you wish.

Paper Rose Easter Village Zig Zag Tower Card | Fun Fold

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose Studio

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.6cm (4 1/8 x 5 3/4) 

Base Card 

14.8cm x 17.5cm Score on the long edge at 4,8,12 and 16cm

Fold these all back onto each other as to form a prism. Apply glue to the small panel. Lay the cardstock flat with the join in the middle at the back. You want the fold down the middle at the front.

 

White cardstock for the front

3.5cm x 10.5cm (x4)

Matt

3cm x 10cm (x4)

Feature panel (Gingham)

2.5cm x 9.7cm (x4) 

 

You can cut 2 more panels if you are using dark cardstock for the back to right on but I like to use white so this isn't a problem.

 

Adhere all your layers and use your grid mat to position these evenly on your base. The important thing to remember here is to adhere each piece in a zig zag manner. Meaning the top piece is glued to the left of the fold line and NOT over it. The next adhered to the right, next left and finally the right. This will mean your card when it is sitting upright will make a criss cross.

 

When you decorate you need something tall but not too wide and adhered it to the panels that will move forward. See photos. If your piece is too wide it will get damaged or not open properly.

Hero Arts Celebrate | For the Love of Everything Green

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Hero Arts

 

Do you like green? Many years ago I had a boss who would never use anything that was green. It was some ...30 odd years ago. I think it was something regarding superstition...like lucky socks for a sports player or something. I didn't get it but it didn't concern me soo I didn't care. haha I did however think of them when I made my card.

Do you have something that you can't use or must have?

Paper Rose Perfect Pairs Paper Collection | Scraps

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose.

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

After my first card using the Perfect Pairs collection I had alot of little pieces of paper. This card is purely made up of those papers.

Strips of paper were cut at 1.3cm wide and vary in length. 

 

Product List Below 

Perfect Pairs 6x6 Paper Collection 35776 

Perfect Pairs Embossed Die Cuts  35800

I used the So Extra Black 1.0 sentiment pack as these cards were a last minute sub-in and now discontinued. So I have linked the All Occasions Sentiment 22339 set which really is the set I mostly used. I had the So Extra on a retreat to use up.

Clear Crystal Mix 19499

 

 

This card is a mix of scraps and cut pieces. Glued down after working out a nice composition of colours.

 

 

 

Main panel is cut at 8.5cm x 13.5cm adhere to the far right edge. Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches aren't a big thing here in Australia but the image was soo cute and in the So Extra pack there was a perfect sentiment of "Hands Down, best ever" I personally have never tried it but it was soo cute I couldn't help myself. :)

Moving Along With The Times | Floral

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Altenew. This month's theme is "Floral" on the blog Moving Along With The Times and who else does floral better than Altenew.

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

Feature Panel Size 9.3 x 13.7cm (3 5/8 x 5 3/8) 

Matt 10 x 14.4cm (3 7/8 x 5 9/16) 

 

 

 

Product List Below 

 

Altenew Serene Blooms and stencil set

Flowers - Plum, Grape Agate, Amethyst and Pale Mauve

Leaves - Moss 

Flower Centres - Paper Bag

 

Background - Caramel Toffee and Canyon Clay  

 

 

I stamped and used 3 flower images and cut off any areas that were coming off the edge of the cardstock. These pieces were used to fill in other areas of the card panel. All flowers were raised up with foam tape. The sentiment shadow was cut out 3 times and layered up to give more dimension as it would of been much harder to apply foam tape and still have it higher than the flowers again.
 

 

I hope you join in on this months challenge. I look forward to seeing your creations.

 

Thank you for your time.

Altenew Level 3 AECP with Michelle Lupton

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Altenew

My friend Michelle Lupton, as part of the Altenew Level 3 Education Program, taught a free online class last weekend.

 

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

I love both of the cards but I think this one is my fav!

Watercolour background, heat embossed on vellum and coloured using Copics

 For the second card we used coordinating stencils for a rainbow flower. It is a much softer flower.

It is hard to see in the photo we used an embossing folder to give added dimension. I used Altenews Ribbon Embossing Folder. Michelle had a much more geometric folder which I didn't have.

My friend Louise Dunne has made her first stamp set and it is super cute. Louise and I were on a Design Team together and when I went to Europe last year we had to meet. She sent me this set but unfortunately due to the postal system... somewhere it was late for the release so I'm playing catch up.

This background die is the postage die from Gummiapan however, I decided I just wanted the inverted  scallop on one side. I have left the stitching detail on all edges. 

 

A fairly clean and simple design with a little texture on the bunnies, this was made using small very light flicks. Darker colours in areas where there would be shadow and placed close together and slowly getting less and less. If you want a video of this technique let me know.

Pixi Dust Designs Magic World | Valentines Card

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Pixi Dust Designs

 

This card is made super easy with the etched lines that were left when you cut out all the pieces.They show where to place most of the elements. Simply a matter of adding the ink, if you wish, adhering the pieces and you can use the packaging if you have any questions. I inked around most of the pieces with a variety of ink, listed below. A little more ink on the wavy lined paper.

I masked off bottom of the sentiment with post it notes,  I stamped the "You put a spell on me" on the banner and the last part of the sentiment on the inked panel and sealed it with clear embossing powder as the paper has a beautiful semi gloss. The embossing will prevent it smudging.
