Fancy Folds Stampers Showcase - Hues of Happiness Circle Easel Card

Hello there crafters! You are going to love today's Stamper Showcase Blog Hop - we are all featuring FUN FOLDS, I just love a fun fold, I should really do more of them! I decided to a Circle Easel Card, it's a smaller card, but I think you will agree is just super cute, and with the Hues of Happiness DSP is just Gorgeous! This card is a relatively simple for a fun fold and comes together very quickly - I think I spent more time doing the floral arrangement than the actual fun fold itself. I took advantage of being able to die cut images directly from the Hues of Happiness DSP - I love it when we can do this with DSP, and aren't the flowers just stunning! I took 3 different flowers and some foliage and arranged to fit within the Basic White Circle cut from the largest circle die in Layering Circles Dies set, and the largest scallop die is used for the coloured section of the card. To create the card base you need to fold a piece of card stock and positon the largest die slig...

Sweet Conversations for Valentine's

Are you in the mood for love? Todays Crafty Collaborations blog hop is for Valentine's Day creations and inspiration. So of us go a little over the top on this day of love, I decided on a fun fold for my special Valentines Day card, using the Sweet Conversations stamp set and coordinating dies. I do love a fun fold, and can't remember the last time I made a Swing Fold card , I had a quick look on Pinterest to refresh my memory and got started. I went with Magenta Madness instead of red and adore the finished card.   I stamped off on scrap once before stamping the hearts to get them a little lighter, I wanted them to compliment not over power the cute little envelope. I also stamped on the inside of the card with a small sentiment and heart theme. I added a twine bow and Basic Rhinestone Gems for that special touch of bling to complete the card. Be sure to continue through the list below and projects of love:  Blog Hop Index I've also shared this card with couple of C...

To a Wild Rose z-fold

Hello again,  I have one more z-fold card from my class last weekend, this card focuses on using die cut images up your z-fold. I've used the To a Wild Rose Bundle with Petal Pink, Sahara Sand & Soft Sea Foam. After cutting the z-fold base, I stamped and die cut flowers and leaves, then placed then with the card folded flat, positioned them before adhering I used dimensionals to make it easy to pop the foliage under the flowers, I love this effect. Lastly I stamped the sentiment then added some bling with Champagne Rhinestones . If you are interested in the measurements I've used for the card (based on A4 card stock and a Letter size alternative) you can find them  HERE . Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my project. Stay tuned for more inspiration and tips this month.  I’ve listed the products I used below, just click on the picture and be taken directly to the product.  I truly appreciate your support, it inspires me to keep crafting a...

Birds & Branches Fun fold

Hi there, I promised that I would show you more from my class last weekend, this card focuses on used dies, or in this case a border die to dress up your z-fold. I've used the Birds & Branches Bundle with Blushing Bride, Soft Suede and a touch of Crumb Cake. After cutting the z-fold base, I then lined up the border die to the diagonal cut, and created the decorative edge - I needed to do 3 cuts with the border die to get the pattern across the full length of the card.  How different does it look compared to using vertically on the edge of a card, a definate WOW factor in my books. Next was stamping the birds, using Soft Suede as the main colour with Blushing Bride body and then Crumb Cake on the wings. After cutting the decorative cirlce image for the front of the card, I used my Layering Circle dies to cut it firstly to a circle then layerd a whisper white circle under the Pear Pizazz before mounting on a scalloped circle. The sentiment if from the Lovely You stamp set. Then a...
