You can see the darker section.

I am not so happy about my colour choice in the card but I wanted to draw out the colours of the bird. There was a lot of fussy cutting on this card. I wanted a vintage feel and thought the Be Dazzling specialty paper would lend itself to the theme.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4dh6s82I-UXF7hVitzuJdStXw_t1-XjBlkYhLBiwsOj4KI8fp3Qn9omBUBJVsgeHkFpPbRjzgjIG-A_RYzJvOWzfH0DCLFVosZtzEGU5gdAcOGC1XJdfEhSsHKScGAzD1AHYVJ_fwKNo/s1789/IMG-4580.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1789" data-original-width="1334" height="471" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4dh6s82I-UXF7hVitzuJdStXw_t1-XjBlkYhLBiwsOj4KI8fp3Qn9omBUBJVsgeHkFpPbRjzgjIG-A_RYzJvOWzfH0DCLFVosZtzEGU5gdAcOGC1XJdfEhSsHKScGAzD1AHYVJ_fwKNo/w352-h471/IMG-4580.jpg" width="352" /></a></div>Pine cones from the Christmas Season stamp set where stamped in Soft Suede and Early Espresso on Basic White card (a two step stamped image) and fussy cut. The two different foliage images were stamped in Old Olive and Mossy Meadow and the spruce leaves in Mossy Meadow, the spruce leaves were fussy cut but fortunately the larger leaves have a matching die in the Season Labels Dies pack which complement the stamp set.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLZZKdqdMcN7c5kneZsnZeoy2suIiXt34ns8v04QTOEyLWklSz9_ZCu7QpVs_-4i8vDVYCL75qT4QQtfc5Rpws5leAqt4JX-W1w-X-dUHfQ_SEu5bZOjlrDxz5mZ95qT34oz1cE8Uwv1w/s1776/IMG-4581.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1776" data-original-width="1350" height="460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLZZKdqdMcN7c5kneZsnZeoy2suIiXt34ns8v04QTOEyLWklSz9_ZCu7QpVs_-4i8vDVYCL75qT4QQtfc5Rpws5leAqt4JX-W1w-X-dUHfQ_SEu5bZOjlrDxz5mZ95qT34oz1cE8Uwv1w/w349-h460/IMG-4581.jpg" width="349" /></a></div>The bird is from the Happy Holly-Days stamp set, stamped in Tuxedo Black on White card and coloured with the Stampin' Blends -- Ivory and Bronze, Light and Dark Crumb Cake, Dark Crushed Curry, Light Poppy Parade,Light and Dark Cherry Cobbler. I snipped the beak slightly and inserted apiece of the fussy cut spruce to make it look like the bird was holding the greenery.

I used Pear Pizzaz because I wanted something that would complement the Sahara Sand but not overwhelm it.

I layered the featured area of the card with a square of real red, then basic black cardstock and the stamping layer which is standard white card. I stamped the background images directly onto this top layer -- the lace from the Tasteful Touches was stamped in Crumb Cake, the square tile replicated image and the background sentiment in Soft Suede and the "fly poo" in Early Espresso.<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0-ex14ZoTxRbO0GzDeHkS5LnGngV2v7uVmHZqh0rNuuckO3YOyzvOGNTKSao3gSWQjcXNnNPkU4z8KTzEmi5n-FT92s72fUZ14m8SrRx7f1Bq0HjPRP0yYs5w2xv4usgXa7JBFBulpJs/s1597/IMG-0528.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1597" data-original-width="1350" height="510" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0-ex14ZoTxRbO0GzDeHkS5LnGngV2v7uVmHZqh0rNuuckO3YOyzvOGNTKSao3gSWQjcXNnNPkU4z8KTzEmi5n-FT92s72fUZ14m8SrRx7f1Bq0HjPRP0yYs5w2xv4usgXa7JBFBulpJs/w432-h510/IMG-0528.jpg" width="432" /></a></div>I stamped the background flowers three times and the three individual flowers (from Quiet Meadow which is in the new Annual Catalogue - eek!) on a separate piece of white card in Memento Ink. I coloured them with the nominated Stampin' Blends and fussy cut them all out. The sentiment from Quiet Meadow was also stamped in Memento Black, punched and mounted.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTdMBmwa2Nr5EdhMTrR13kbORj3uoW6FtT7fxFgesud7-E-zbSAehOt-tVR6xe41Mu51jTTGZR7F9UMzU2T10IuY9G4QwafY_G67nPoNynYgdc_9Oh1FLd7TuJwvKOQaUK7YNy0bdpftY/s1800/IMG-0529.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1350" height="555" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTdMBmwa2Nr5EdhMTrR13kbORj3uoW6FtT7fxFgesud7-E-zbSAehOt-tVR6xe41Mu51jTTGZR7F9UMzU2T10IuY9G4QwafY_G67nPoNynYgdc_9Oh1FLd7TuJwvKOQaUK7YNy0bdpftY/w416-h555/IMG-0529.PNG" width="416" /></a></div>You will see that I have shaded all of the flowers with the three Stampin' Blend reds. The leaves were done with both Old Olive Stampin' Blends. I cut up one of the background flower bunches so that the smaller flowers would look more random, you will see that I also nestled one bunch a bit higher on the card. I also cut one set to use on the "wiper" aspect of the card.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSFkS9asXvbd442QR-EpvHNlqq_2c0VL-ItDsVoz_3YyEF-Je5BWwSVuWatJF-CK1FG4gaKvstuklrXWWmTeQ6CankdWz5ddLaXUHqjsO96ZD9WnqcJ4NI4-0FFloGBee6jGoCUcHy5tE/s1510/IMG-0527.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1510" data-original-width="1350" height="374" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSFkS9asXvbd442QR-EpvHNlqq_2c0VL-ItDsVoz_3YyEF-Je5BWwSVuWatJF-CK1FG4gaKvstuklrXWWmTeQ6CankdWz5ddLaXUHqjsO96ZD9WnqcJ4NI4-0FFloGBee6jGoCUcHy5tE/w334-h374/IMG-0527.jpg" width="334" /></a></div>The wiper part of the card is created using a Window Sheet so that the flowers appear suspended above the card proper. The flowers are adhered using glue dots. I added Champagne Rhinestones for a touch of bling.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrO5VUcHUkQkHfyqSaiq-tIbdNdSJo0HA_qjT1V599HWEIR70ddzEpAUmTRNSz63Wcj1kw26OA_ByN4U7jiGDvd72cPhZGDBBsXcl_ILQ7AAS2RHTTjUhk4Qh2Z0Vc8hQegyeP9o18LlI/s1350/IMG-0526.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1066" data-original-width="1350" height="403" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrO5VUcHUkQkHfyqSaiq-tIbdNdSJo0HA_qjT1V599HWEIR70ddzEpAUmTRNSz63Wcj1kw26OA_ByN4U7jiGDvd72cPhZGDBBsXcl_ILQ7AAS2RHTTjUhk4Qh2Z0Vc8hQegyeP9o18LlI/w510-h403/IMG-0526.jpg" width="510" /></a></div>The rear of the card is also mounted in the same manner as the front with the side panels just white on basic black card. The little bit of card peeking above the top of the card is the background flowers on the front of the card. I considered chopping the little bit off but I like how the front of the card looks more ad hoc.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicgvsN4-COXW32BYkVEAO50sR-9K9tv6SJpFIFbMgQ9vVgSZtnsCRRHH_vEY0FInqiLf8FhJEi1KB5K1kmXfDbJ3NlrWolN4Y_SIfEMVrwdFDXWrClA6FNCMYMnwMMoaayN5vD5aIpA50/s1554/IMG-0530.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1554" data-original-width="1350" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicgvsN4-COXW32BYkVEAO50sR-9K9tv6SJpFIFbMgQ9vVgSZtnsCRRHH_vEY0FInqiLf8FhJEi1KB5K1kmXfDbJ3NlrWolN4Y_SIfEMVrwdFDXWrClA6FNCMYMnwMMoaayN5vD5aIpA50/w403-h464/IMG-0530.jpg" width="403" /></a></div>The front of the card has two panels as well for uniformity, I decorated them with the square tile stamp from the Tasteful Touches and added the tone to the edges with the Blending Brush.<div><br /></div><div>This is a relatively simple card with a bit of a wow. I like that the wiper could be added from either side depending on where you feature the images.

I then mounted a sheet of the True Love DSP which I treated using Stampin' Blends and rubbing alcohol. I embossed a piece of Vellum card stock with Meadow Moments embossing folder.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I thought I would show you a different way to use the Stampin' Blends. A great use for subtle backgrounds when you don't have the right colours for a watercolour background. All you need is:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Window Sheet (clear acetate sheet)</div><div style="text-align: left;">Stampin' Blends (I used blues on this occasion)</div><div style="text-align: left;">Rubbing Alcohol</div><div style="text-align: left;">True Love DSP</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEPQhx71BdHaCNSwGjmcWrh6UI6wXYm7iduUcKVEa9Wy6jW3yShPKnXSfJsHcNV6EeyhgbwO9P2z4ym2S8anhmMi0X7X72DkCOcPEpMHGHfwrPEk2VzUVciTfWlAVc-z3s6daZY6Cz0uY/s1497/IMG-9861.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1497" data-original-width="1350" height="344" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEPQhx71BdHaCNSwGjmcWrh6UI6wXYm7iduUcKVEa9Wy6jW3yShPKnXSfJsHcNV6EeyhgbwO9P2z4ym2S8anhmMi0X7X72DkCOcPEpMHGHfwrPEk2VzUVciTfWlAVc-z3s6daZY6Cz0uY/w311-h344/IMG-9861.jpg" width="311" /></a></div>You simply scribble the Stampin' Blends on the window sheet randomly, then sprinkle with rubbing alcohol. The faster you do this the better the colours will blend and attach to your card. You lay your card on the acetate sheet and rub the back of the card to pick up the colour. Your card will get a bit damp. Leave it to dry thoroughly.<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7575icTNv0SdnaAG3xu-WjsRR1omRncfPpomVc6BI1UHF73pntLJzKNmJcjHxmpNRyi1OMOLGHZ15U7Ij_FiDxzNBFXcLJRZ2fqGIn862qYK9TOJYVkSkGXMaNEXDXdysP82T1VIz_Po/s1473/IMG-9862.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1473" data-original-width="1294" height="347" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7575icTNv0SdnaAG3xu-WjsRR1omRncfPpomVc6BI1UHF73pntLJzKNmJcjHxmpNRyi1OMOLGHZ15U7Ij_FiDxzNBFXcLJRZ2fqGIn862qYK9TOJYVkSkGXMaNEXDXdysP82T1VIz_Po/w305-h347/IMG-9862.jpg" width="305" /></a></div>You can see that I didn't go to too much trouble. You can use the same scribbled colours again, just add more rubbing alcohol. It leaves a light but distinct water colour like effect on your card.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_crTHPOMu6gSIvLHYJQ6sM13ZIW1mMKcRJ6_uh0SI-au9QlOI0GgFoz2pncI9Y-EAo89SFL5Fb-zFzq462TyXqcIzA3Sfm33ee7xzc6X6J63VJsZuenC8UGxawrY28M90HVKU69Qs0Bc/s1800/IMG-9870.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1350" height="547" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_crTHPOMu6gSIvLHYJQ6sM13ZIW1mMKcRJ6_uh0SI-au9QlOI0GgFoz2pncI9Y-EAo89SFL5Fb-zFzq462TyXqcIzA3Sfm33ee7xzc6X6J63VJsZuenC8UGxawrY28M90HVKU69Qs0Bc/w410-h547/IMG-9870.PNG" width="410" /></a></div>I like it because its subtle but at the same time adds a different interest and focal point to the card. It works even better on light coloured cardstock.<div><br /></div><div>Vellum is under-utilised and I love it because its light and add texture and layers to my cards. For today's project I embossed the vellum using the Meadow Moments embossing folder.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihBRIG-ZgfPNuU3CIry4QOO5ZBf6DzOonqfyghRTrNf1uSpmi9aLnKSed4Qfa2C19TI0C05DcgZsk-jRZv3a2_AoUNv3Ab8DdF69CHVHDarmMhK7hEhLO85T9IYXvltcp1EBkW2Vb8HlI/s1633/IMG-9871.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1633" data-original-width="1350" height="347" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihBRIG-ZgfPNuU3CIry4QOO5ZBf6DzOonqfyghRTrNf1uSpmi9aLnKSed4Qfa2C19TI0C05DcgZsk-jRZv3a2_AoUNv3Ab8DdF69CHVHDarmMhK7hEhLO85T9IYXvltcp1EBkW2Vb8HlI/w287-h347/IMG-9871.jpg" width="287" /></a></div>Once I had embossed it, on the reverse side (so the side that is impressed), I coloured the leaves using the Dark and Light Old Olive Stampin' Blends. It makes the vellum look like stained glass from the other side. It's not hard to do and a great technique using Stampin' Blends. It would well on bouquets of flowers and Christmas cards.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgedWQyKeJIfRd5pcTCqbTz2vPIM1n0MU3KrW8h5OgjF9rbMidGDineYUgle4KNYo_cBj8HyDgO7XQ-VBE9tHZ4yhyLfD-FjOaU6LBQhyphenhyphen8x6A6NAd-8fem946YXNIKxUfl3LpqMEZ_U6s/s1800/IMG-9872.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1350" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgedWQyKeJIfRd5pcTCqbTz2vPIM1n0MU3KrW8h5OgjF9rbMidGDineYUgle4KNYo_cBj8HyDgO7XQ-VBE9tHZ4yhyLfD-FjOaU6LBQhyphenhyphen8x6A6NAd-8fem946YXNIKxUfl3LpqMEZ_U6s/w279-h372/IMG-9872.PNG" width="279" /></a></div>For the flowers - fussy cut three separate flowers from the True Love Designer Series Paper from the Occasions Mini. I adore this paper and think that it makes a great background and feature on all projects.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg41GwbnwVhCaq9js9Xq5xzSokRKIHbHKCFmZskTaQ8mBlBrWeNyy8MqKi9XeyQESqnG7LnJKhIySlIcu42_Sszc8EhSqn1TRbGzSwNDTfLTwvAJlIOgiKCyKxDKzz_E4ZNLqIOA_i-eU8/s1495/IMG-9867.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1495" data-original-width="1350" height="477" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg41GwbnwVhCaq9js9Xq5xzSokRKIHbHKCFmZskTaQ8mBlBrWeNyy8MqKi9XeyQESqnG7LnJKhIySlIcu42_Sszc8EhSqn1TRbGzSwNDTfLTwvAJlIOgiKCyKxDKzz_E4ZNLqIOA_i-eU8/w431-h477/IMG-9867.jpg" width="431" /></a></div>The flowers are very forgiving to colour, you can make mistakes and you can barely tell that you did! I coloured using the Real Red and Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends for the flowers and the Old Olive blends for the leaves. As I mentioned. I fussy cut them and I moved a couple of leaves around because I wanted to balance the composition.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKkIIVF3bxP6ABj7RQygH_pZtQXch6d3DwcbWySOHAB3uPD-a4Tkk5Kkh5lE9enDiOTkXMFzMc4HFe2VbEkF8Izf27qicPeuzjkdnRYMiFoDaHktwTjQJy2794nZafUFmuMzPHytWrUSE/s1800/IMG-9868.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1280" height="601" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKkIIVF3bxP6ABj7RQygH_pZtQXch6d3DwcbWySOHAB3uPD-a4Tkk5Kkh5lE9enDiOTkXMFzMc4HFe2VbEkF8Izf27qicPeuzjkdnRYMiFoDaHktwTjQJy2794nZafUFmuMzPHytWrUSE/w428-h601/IMG-9868.jpg" width="428" /></a></div>The top left flower is glued directly to the card and the top right and bottom flowers are attached using dimensionals. The leaves on the top left have been cut from another area on that flower and have been stuck direct to the card beneath the flower. The little leaf facing 11 o'clock on the top left hand flower was cut off the flower image of the top right flower.<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2ps8zOaLsjJaKfkXqVB_cw9GHKiE8Ta2cz4ERqbR2Bpv1m6wgo9mRrvzcz3gzJtKAiIMro8p7UGErVDacRlgGApBZILt2pH-z6YF5S6Lrs-nv4-8ZfpK1pupsMk2zjRa0zza_kSgt3Y0/s1701/IMG-9864.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1701" data-original-width="1282" height="596" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2ps8zOaLsjJaKfkXqVB_cw9GHKiE8Ta2cz4ERqbR2Bpv1m6wgo9mRrvzcz3gzJtKAiIMro8p7UGErVDacRlgGApBZILt2pH-z6YF5S6Lrs-nv4-8ZfpK1pupsMk2zjRa0zza_kSgt3Y0/w449-h596/IMG-9864.jpg" width="449" /></a></div>I did a combination of sentiments. I heat embossed the white on black cardstock using the sentiments from the Garden Wishes stamp set. I cut the sentiments to size. If I made this card again, I would move the flowers a little more to the left so the sentiment fits better. The "thanks" is from the Ornate Thanks stamp set, stamped in Momento Black on white card. I coloured the void in the middle of the letters using the Dark Old Olive Stampin' Blend pen.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimhoDEbqliISiGGKjVNveWtFPHw437vS1cVYtIBK_bMQHUeYH7ZzTH5LFumDHkLAwoE5eMuLhiW8ty_Xv5J4oq1npJoFt7_TYK-P8sEJW_qRcGCws2weYLg80l7t8vnjfJD932d26iJaA/s1403/IMG-9866.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1403" data-original-width="1350" height="463" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimhoDEbqliISiGGKjVNveWtFPHw437vS1cVYtIBK_bMQHUeYH7ZzTH5LFumDHkLAwoE5eMuLhiW8ty_Xv5J4oq1npJoFt7_TYK-P8sEJW_qRcGCws2weYLg80l7t8vnjfJD932d26iJaA/w446-h463/IMG-9866.jpg" width="446" /></a></div>Final step was to add some bling, I added random gold leaf with the Gilded Leafing Embellishment and Heat and Stick powder. I kind of tapped the Versamark ink on the card on its corner, added the heat and stick and then followed with the leaf. I use tweezers to remove from the jar and apply. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf3OTzEC6qawic_6BAN6zqSVfFbrGR-teHTTJyHqCc1gyJfJXOGd45jt5XcprZy-6wtdooeGbyMZYkIRfXDqldkvR3rP-aGqtltDdYiLI_Nuas0SmE62kpF-HJUcJ2_BVqwm_KkyBUgb4/s1800/IMG-9869.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1350" height="589" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf3OTzEC6qawic_6BAN6zqSVfFbrGR-teHTTJyHqCc1gyJfJXOGd45jt5XcprZy-6wtdooeGbyMZYkIRfXDqldkvR3rP-aGqtltDdYiLI_Nuas0SmE62kpF-HJUcJ2_BVqwm_KkyBUgb4/w442-h589/IMG-9869.PNG" width="442" /></a></div>An unusual combination of stamps, techniques and uses of the Stampin' Blend pens, which I hope inspires you to take a look. I love Stampin' Blends, because I love to colour in. They are a relaxing and forgiving colour tool to use. I always start with the dark tone, I use them sparingly because it's easier to add colour than take it away and then I add the lighter tone next.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhygNkbYbpU8LwBVH4fMdjoqiA1P4oYqGu5QDfVZVcvqI9lKEpIS9t0SJ2JcYJuQkgIqNozM-DQuZcURjd5Uc4GuTJE10TzoVFvVWDNLnTemvGaqEx8vEiIDhpwgONeeDL7OFttFrwstwk/s1510/IMG-9863.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1510" data-original-width="1350" height="503" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhygNkbYbpU8LwBVH4fMdjoqiA1P4oYqGu5QDfVZVcvqI9lKEpIS9t0SJ2JcYJuQkgIqNozM-DQuZcURjd5Uc4GuTJE10TzoVFvVWDNLnTemvGaqEx8vEiIDhpwgONeeDL7OFttFrwstwk/w450-h503/IMG-9863.jpg" width="450" /></a></div>Stick around and check out our other Design Team projects.

I then covered the three shells with Shimmery Crystal Effects; I like the glossy effect and it helped make the cards look a bit more realistic. The touch of glitter in the crystal effects is also really pretty and lends a consistent theme to the rhinestones. I left the mermaid penny nude.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdlm1dNgDUvnaGN6wCcEoy9Wx0E96tlvuXWlBjIPgPM3QAinScLfVudy9g1u3H5DjrM2276KeIyD2goGuLXHwoMTFNrHgNKDhgH1o692T8hodbfzYIVBIsSPN7cC-_Ub5M4eXc8SvdQP4/s1800/IMG-8728.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1350" height="409" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdlm1dNgDUvnaGN6wCcEoy9Wx0E96tlvuXWlBjIPgPM3QAinScLfVudy9g1u3H5DjrM2276KeIyD2goGuLXHwoMTFNrHgNKDhgH1o692T8hodbfzYIVBIsSPN7cC-_Ub5M4eXc8SvdQP4/w307-h409/IMG-8728.PNG" width="307" /></a></div>The small glistening spots highlight the dimension of the shells as well. Once I had stuck down the shells, I added the Crumb Cake ink with the Blending Brush. I then stamped the stipple image from the Friends Are Like Seashells set in black. <br /><div><br /><div><div>I hope you have felt inspired by this card. The Blending brushes are easier to use than daubers or sponges and allow you to apply dense or fine colour. The sentiment from Happy Thoughts is stamped in black on a scrap and punched using the Timeless Label Punch, brushed with some Pool Party ink, mounted with dimensionals.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqsy850XLQn1FA_hBfCFk3XTYAN9qE8JqMEXAnNj2-MBewGcSCvMbP_GbOIDXBxZFGXVTH53EzCQrljQWC3EepvIBpqS93WffFtTiJiCJYBK_jCPJkNFJeEGSqFZsdjaiQpzqZmfR5oGo/s1514/IMG-8721.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1514" data-original-width="1254" height="477" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqsy850XLQn1FA_hBfCFk3XTYAN9qE8JqMEXAnNj2-MBewGcSCvMbP_GbOIDXBxZFGXVTH53EzCQrljQWC3EepvIBpqS93WffFtTiJiCJYBK_jCPJkNFJeEGSqFZsdjaiQpzqZmfR5oGo/w395-h477/IMG-8721.jpg" width="395" /></a></div>Until next time!

Welcome back to another Fancy Folds Design Team Blog Hop - this month we are a few demos short but those who are here have pulled out all the stops. We are highlighting Triple Cube Pup Up Cards this month. You may have just been visiting my beautiful friend <a href="https://www.emeraldkreations.co.uk/2020/07/fancy-folds-july-blog-hop-triple-cube-pop-up-card/?fbclid=IwAR1O_c9bcigjUwoV367ImpKSv77OiHYr_0hv2E8XkwxygGkQ5bb_fa13gIE">Gina in Northern Ireland.</a> I love Gina's project - this woman is sooooo creative!<br />
<br />
Here is my project:<br />

I followed the very detailed <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpgtaaeBzbA&t=14s">YouTube tutorial from The Artful Inker</a>, but then I came up wit my own measurements. Basically you use a standard base size card and score it in four equal areas so that you can make the cube. Yu then select two more pieces that are exactly half of the card height to make the two smaller cubes on the left and right - make sure you score these lengths in four places too. You will get the gist of it from the YouTube presentation; don't be afraid to use your own card sizes, just keep them uniform!<br />

For the project today I used Basic Black as my card base and coupled this with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper - I love the natural timber and stone look and thought they would go well with the images from the Tasteful Touches stamp set.<br />

I love the contrast between the woodgrain DSP and the solid coloured flowers. And I wanted to position my flowers off the edges of the DSP to give it a more random but balanced look.<br />

The flower stamp from the Tasteful Touches is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Whisper White card and coloured using the Light and Dark Cherry Cobbler, Light Poppy Parade and Dark Mango Melody Stampin' Blends:<br />

I stamped a heap of them so that I would have enough for the project. I wasn't too concerned about going outside the lines because I knew I was going to fussy cut the flowers for the project. I am pretty hit and miss on how I colour but this stamp is so forgiving.<br />

I stamped directly on the DSP with the leaf sprig in Mossy Meadow. I love the filigree style of the leaf stamp and think that it balances the vintage feel of the flower images.<br />

The sentiment is from the same set and stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on a piece of Whisper White. the card was 2.5cm wide and I used the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch to clip the ends.<br />

This is what the card looks like from above. The DSP is so gorgeous! I think this is my favourite suite in the new cattie.<br />

Side view to show that the flower inside the bottom left cube sits perfectly when the card is folded.<br />
<br />
I hope you have felt a little inspired to try this card it is seriously easy with a great impact. I am going to make some other projects using the same fold!<br />

Welcome back to another month blog hopping with the Fancy Folds Design Team, this month we are featuring Corner Flip Folds. I hope you loved <a href="https://www.emeraldkreations.co.uk/2020/06/fancy-folds-blog-hop-team-corner-flip-card/?fbclid=IwAR06VGFNK4fDufg3SdCpgjx0zf_I0NHWYK99OOaW0D2EDNZTUxhLnaANEg0">Gina's project as much as I did!</a><br />
<br />
I followed the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFtaS2ZL5F8">easy to understand tutorial by Dawn O!</a> This is my card this month:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUUSZ5fOD9S65pYeNZ2SP8W4tguAO_YeLgvAD7wnTBzSPSAMEE-ZOsp_Dv0MIHU8fCjoo-7gtseAfukIaTEX0kiTeon0YlESMhWUlyQ1KyyHX0XDFwyAi_crCSr79XDEjnZ-CMLhHtC1M/s1600/IMG-4205.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1195" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUUSZ5fOD9S65pYeNZ2SP8W4tguAO_YeLgvAD7wnTBzSPSAMEE-ZOsp_Dv0MIHU8fCjoo-7gtseAfukIaTEX0kiTeon0YlESMhWUlyQ1KyyHX0XDFwyAi_crCSr79XDEjnZ-CMLhHtC1M/s400/IMG-4205.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>
Featuring the Forever Fern stamp set, I have made a rectangular card as per the measurement details of Dawn's video out of WhisperWhite Thick Card.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoetDq39zbCJb8ybo0lCGlAy_-6vfjePGOqdCz4R8YSeyV5bBSWxY0HN5Juy7lTqdjiHFw6a_srlXbIa-5kj3N3NBVL-I3FqTLOtFBxwUSozcPBqyhdErMdDA2FR8KqWAWWweFeyuTQvU/s1600/IMG-4209.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1229" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoetDq39zbCJb8ybo0lCGlAy_-6vfjePGOqdCz4R8YSeyV5bBSWxY0HN5Juy7lTqdjiHFw6a_srlXbIa-5kj3N3NBVL-I3FqTLOtFBxwUSozcPBqyhdErMdDA2FR8KqWAWWweFeyuTQvU/s400/IMG-4209.jpg" width="306" /></a></div>
I texturised the card with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder after I had cut the fold into the front of the card. I then lined the inside and the top half of the the card with a rectangle and square of the Perfect Peacock card and then mounted that with Whisper White card.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWe1HOo4V4-bUK7ocK8rk2y0wt8BKHQKhuQgD63qu1R6QvmQwU62hsxdD_3-BMkxqNcZnlzHiEEGtMH8YpTF-lLss1Sudbti1mPr47HxhYgbTtdXRTK3TT15yfqqONHVFnEmkwlLFyslY/s1600/IMG-4208.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1203" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWe1HOo4V4-bUK7ocK8rk2y0wt8BKHQKhuQgD63qu1R6QvmQwU62hsxdD_3-BMkxqNcZnlzHiEEGtMH8YpTF-lLss1Sudbti1mPr47HxhYgbTtdXRTK3TT15yfqqONHVFnEmkwlLFyslY/s400/IMG-4208.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
On the front I mounted the square with leaves cut using Pretty Peacock, Vellum Card and Whisper White Card cut using the Forever Fern Dies. I stamped the leaves stamp in Mossy Meadow x 4 on Whisper White, cut them with the matching die, and daubered the plain white card with Pretty Peacock ink to make it pop a little.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I layered the leaves around the gold hoop embellishment and stamped the fly poo stamp from the Forever Fern set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the sentiment in versamark and heat emboss white on Basic Black and hand cut the small rectangle. I adhered everything with dimensionals and tombow glue.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For a final touch I coloured some Rhinestone Jewels with the Dark Basic Black Stampin' Blend and adhered them randomly where they balanced the layout.<br />
<br />

We are back for another Totally Techniques Design Team blog hop and this month we are featuring water colouring!<br />
<br />
This is a great technique and is particularly popular with backgrounds but because I thought others on the hop might feature that I wanted to try my hand at a few different styles of water colouring. These are very clean styles - not my usual layering at all.<br />
<br />
My first card is simple stamping with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (in this case on Whisper White card) and straight forward colouring using our classic ink pads and an aqua painter.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAD4AyrXPQ4_ekaJDPVgslRvPftCoBz8Z3JAnWQsahiuMSiUR2ME18JpK51G6EWQvbxBn5cN3Q0a4c2XGc9H3M6kg35Qaj1iG8CfEDDh-DpXx84J8yFTPEPiznUOyKkGIpUDjKHaAghsE/s1600/IMG-3609.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="1181" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAD4AyrXPQ4_ekaJDPVgslRvPftCoBz8Z3JAnWQsahiuMSiUR2ME18JpK51G6EWQvbxBn5cN3Q0a4c2XGc9H3M6kg35Qaj1iG8CfEDDh-DpXx84J8yFTPEPiznUOyKkGIpUDjKHaAghsE/s400/IMG-3609.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Jacque Williams' stamp set Beautiful Moments truly lends itself to water colour painting. I used Perfect Peacock, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Pool Party, Soft Suede and Daffodil Delight.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I finished with a bit of highlighting using the clear Wink of Stella. Th sentiment is from the For the Love of Felt, stamped in Memento on Whisper White and punched out with the Timeless Label Punch.<br />

The shimmer adds a touch of bling to the images and ties in the colours in the foreground and bak ground.<br />
<br />
Next I thought I would share a technique many stampers are using which is water colouring direct on to card then cutting the colour washed area wit a framelit to complement an image. This is my second card:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwbAyWH7jkSEMioIaBkAapyg7Zi679neu092-PfTVvZaQSAjTRt03QBxOXI2X0dO08SXCry9CFoOu3GYsNcxW1VfqSdP2afQCs3K5-1PPYLx_73pvtrsXr05fgJrzcGvQV_rRUQMky-MI/s1600/IMG-3612.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1189" data-original-width="1200" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwbAyWH7jkSEMioIaBkAapyg7Zi679neu092-PfTVvZaQSAjTRt03QBxOXI2X0dO08SXCry9CFoOu3GYsNcxW1VfqSdP2afQCs3K5-1PPYLx_73pvtrsXr05fgJrzcGvQV_rRUQMky-MI/s400/IMG-3612.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
So I used the Botanical Tags Dies to cut out the images you see on the front of this card. I made the ombre shades using Rococo Rose, Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive ink pads and an aqua painter on Whisper White card. The tip is to have plenty of water through the brush.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Once you have washed the card with the ink colours of your choice, you wait for it to dry then cut out the die image. I fussy cut the edges of the leaves and the flowers because the die is actually a tag shape and the flower usually marries direct onto the tag area. The background was embossed with the Woodgrain Textured Embossing Folder.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzImGWceuP5deTUh1HB7lzEKGtpTruHyI9spa4Efhnl2aMwtK4Pqcdhy1MuE1HGXBKoVzW9AeLYr1lpJrUF9Pt_YoEOdvcsjLl_VpY7OhXlnm1_LsFf9UyoXFSdc4o9NFLqo2hzIrgFJo/s1600/IMG-3614.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1187" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzImGWceuP5deTUh1HB7lzEKGtpTruHyI9spa4Efhnl2aMwtK4Pqcdhy1MuE1HGXBKoVzW9AeLYr1lpJrUF9Pt_YoEOdvcsjLl_VpY7OhXlnm1_LsFf9UyoXFSdc4o9NFLqo2hzIrgFJo/s400/IMG-3614.jpg" width="296" /></a></div>
The sentiment was heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss on Basic Black card and cut out using the Timeless Label Punch.<br />
<br />
My third and final card was standard no line water colouring:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwX1Zv3B9S3oUTP567XmXr3W1UAIWpOeQCJlPi_Y97cH6VqFH5lDL-rAYaL6-FiC5twjmbVAHNteOl7RPxGsS233hgc4K0nSLQX88hbWuv6ZniOyhScCqLkfr41D4tqkiYhPXwjLZdNq0/s1600/IMG-3615.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1186" data-original-width="1200" height="395" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwX1Zv3B9S3oUTP567XmXr3W1UAIWpOeQCJlPi_Y97cH6VqFH5lDL-rAYaL6-FiC5twjmbVAHNteOl7RPxGsS233hgc4K0nSLQX88hbWuv6ZniOyhScCqLkfr41D4tqkiYhPXwjLZdNq0/s400/IMG-3615.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I stamped To a Wild Rose in Crumb Cake on Whisper White and coloured the flower in Cherry Cobbler and the leaves in Mossy Meadow and Old Olive.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJaT8VVEHDaTVkFIrOpZfgk2su3ojAdHtLPGdDTdyl_H-zi64KhG4EYIPAS5Bu-2-jXnDl2TmTezw7EZG5ky7NFxspoAMv_Ks283Ho7jdAPJgC6TZ4zSnG00H3kF-7iQqBEDDyTth_H70/s1600/IMG-3616.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1195" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJaT8VVEHDaTVkFIrOpZfgk2su3ojAdHtLPGdDTdyl_H-zi64KhG4EYIPAS5Bu-2-jXnDl2TmTezw7EZG5ky7NFxspoAMv_Ks283Ho7jdAPJgC6TZ4zSnG00H3kF-7iQqBEDDyTth_H70/s400/IMG-3616.jpg" width="297" /></a></div>
I used an aqua painter with the classic ink pads. I wanted to keep the image plain and simple.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIY0YA8srjmVhoBlaTNKlBnGFfyHAbhTwIRi_NdIsBpAYdDFkzUZHGCzu5eZ8N9N-d6Ukz3Wg8Sg2MSKZ08kuxMX8OZUlb6-3lT302ay3idzMxw4uDPGzbpfRL1GXhyAe8bhiy-k6_Fxs/s1600/IMG-3617.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1192" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIY0YA8srjmVhoBlaTNKlBnGFfyHAbhTwIRi_NdIsBpAYdDFkzUZHGCzu5eZ8N9N-d6Ukz3Wg8Sg2MSKZ08kuxMX8OZUlb6-3lT302ay3idzMxw4uDPGzbpfRL1GXhyAe8bhiy-k6_Fxs/s400/IMG-3617.jpg" width="297" /></a></div>
Once the water colours had dried I came back in and added some extra detail with the Cherry Cobbler ink pad to create more shadow. It was very relaxing to colour. The sentiment is the same used in the other cards, stamped in Memento Ink.<br />
<br />
I hope yo have enjoyed my projects and have found some inspiration ~ I now that rest of the team have some truly awesome cards to share.<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />

Welcome back to another month of blog hopping with the Fancy Folds Design Team - this month we are doing Fancy Folds.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed the amazing project <a href="https://www.emeraldkreations.co.uk/2020/05/fancy-folds-may-blog-hop-double-easel-card/?fbclid=IwAR3Tr5orieuuFLuyLloHMNCsSmtN7rDD55M0_NITcmGGzmnCODrnlTi3kqs">that my friend Gina made with the fancy fold!</a> <br />
<br />
This is my card:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I followed the easy to understand <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANcNrHDFcLY">YouTube tutorial from by my beautiful friend Sharon Armstrong</a>, she makes it very easy to follow.<br />

I made my card using Thick Whisper White card stock - the base card and the second easel aspect. I also used a strip of Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper down the right hand side of the card. It doesn't matter what width you use - its just a pop of colour to brighten the overall card.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I stamped the images from the Timeless Tropical stamp set as follows - the hibiscus on Grapefruit Grove in Real Red, the frangipani flowers in Daffodil Delight on Whisper White and the leaves in Old Olive on Old Olive card stock. I also added some extra bling to the flowers by colouring the centres with Wink of Stella and the ink colour that each flower was stamped in.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglk6sCe12Q2Pib8RJTCDhDNh7wC8WyB7gGc8YkfDTihnuU-NlEE21pX7gKEDh5qVDC-iUNDUEueGWVWnllUzOVV6fjh4Jemv_fcIRfcSvyqK24u7Fw1ukfhPmLcnXT7LmqqalOC5qHf4c/s1600/IMG-3159.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1589" data-original-width="1121" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglk6sCe12Q2Pib8RJTCDhDNh7wC8WyB7gGc8YkfDTihnuU-NlEE21pX7gKEDh5qVDC-iUNDUEueGWVWnllUzOVV6fjh4Jemv_fcIRfcSvyqK24u7Fw1ukfhPmLcnXT7LmqqalOC5qHf4c/s400/IMG-3159.jpg" width="281" /></a></div>
I love that the stamped images could all be cut out using the In the Tropic Dies. I also cut the pineapple top in Old Olive card and the little flower sprays in Real Red card stock.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8j3NAKSp6tJoawCnnEgDmf7bITerP4XNC_z_lV-I_JTZq1p0YhIIZca6grRdP6_Pv8SE8rCPNF4vnxUnnbMrNys-ll3kDK0qFpzghGGgwKd6ktLo34ookjiFIrBDozFPF5hJ6qS5ehYg/s1600/IMG-3158.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1192" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8j3NAKSp6tJoawCnnEgDmf7bITerP4XNC_z_lV-I_JTZq1p0YhIIZca6grRdP6_Pv8SE8rCPNF4vnxUnnbMrNys-ll3kDK0qFpzghGGgwKd6ktLo34ookjiFIrBDozFPF5hJ6qS5ehYg/s400/IMG-3158.jpg" width="297" /></a></div>
To give the card a focal point I added a rectangle of Crumb Cake and Whisper White card as the feature on the large easel card.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheYKxzLGjTQA0IML7fZHFWzGiA3mjdiSlu-6eWoE4h2lmIzLizWS8CpWVgwt2TMN5yDRVzPE7B7uTUwypmFYWifZV3xhOvnoyliLqC9RH3He4eSrHOaiMUpEuaqApq5xCBq20fj1FB1t8/s1600/IMG-3160.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1585" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheYKxzLGjTQA0IML7fZHFWzGiA3mjdiSlu-6eWoE4h2lmIzLizWS8CpWVgwt2TMN5yDRVzPE7B7uTUwypmFYWifZV3xhOvnoyliLqC9RH3He4eSrHOaiMUpEuaqApq5xCBq20fj1FB1t8/s400/IMG-3160.jpg" width="302" /></a></div>
The sentiment is from the Timeless Tropical set stamped in Real Red and mounted on crumb cake (punched with the Story Label Punch). I punched the sentiment stamped image with the Timeless Label Punch. Everything is attached with dimensionals to pop them from that card base.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Welcome to another blog hop with the Fancy Folds Design Team. You may have come via <a href="https://www.emeraldkreations.co.uk/2020/04/fancy-fold-april-blog-hop-free-standing-pop-up-card/?fbclid=IwAR1xIzT0LVATXlE3ThCzIMS-oIxZUr5osQgs_--k7LPo5esVVMLSChohPDE">my friend Gina's blog - wasn't her card beautiful?</a> I love that every member of our team has a different take on the same design.<br />
<br />
This is my project for this month:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg93i01hxrHD5HuSVfXHVxS0VXCp2OHHSqknOWPKNU_6X6CdFmP7q3XJ9pRjkA9coioeg7avh9C03EKPAWwDbuQunGuFxzB-veOpLaMonwONVYJMkx0lfSFggvUcpGNZkvR3QKSctR4Yn8/s1600/IMG-2226.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1559" data-original-width="1061" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg93i01hxrHD5HuSVfXHVxS0VXCp2OHHSqknOWPKNU_6X6CdFmP7q3XJ9pRjkA9coioeg7avh9C03EKPAWwDbuQunGuFxzB-veOpLaMonwONVYJMkx0lfSFggvUcpGNZkvR3QKSctR4Yn8/s400/IMG-2226.jpg" width="271" /></a></div>
I followed the tutorial on <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0dyBGWe2v0c">YouTube</a> and adjusted the measurements to fit half an A4 page. I stamped the large floral image from Ornate Style in Night of Navy and coloured it with an aquapainter. Its mounted on a cut out from theOrnate Layers Die pack.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdiKnxeMMEfuq_YE6wkhQNTcFNX2smNwt8_i4XBsmMYZGiJcTbz6nPVEVcaxNoAYTX3G2XuYJq4KGerrWrcf15AgoJnbDvx-kFsS9su9OEhq9OM9mOPnZecRoFRR1WNXX1kqfAMSuhQUg/s1600/IMG-2230.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1148" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdiKnxeMMEfuq_YE6wkhQNTcFNX2smNwt8_i4XBsmMYZGiJcTbz6nPVEVcaxNoAYTX3G2XuYJq4KGerrWrcf15AgoJnbDvx-kFsS9su9OEhq9OM9mOPnZecRoFRR1WNXX1kqfAMSuhQUg/s400/IMG-2230.jpg" width="286" /></a></div>
I wanted the colour to be monochrome and only added the slightest wash of colour. The colour from the stamped image leached and added to the depth. I love the contrast of navy and white. The base card is made with thick Whisper White card stock.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1i9WZH0JSIlldFGbrdS_Cl34y08wYODoovhny5gAQXZ3ps77plyE4nVvLrRMJX6NNU4_RD4pcmQ1cF9JFgiNq5l8dP4Zl7hNfHSYRlHVepUTYn4VRqYWcXr18c2wUeD_HHSQqc_lPS64/s1600/IMG-2231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1132" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1i9WZH0JSIlldFGbrdS_Cl34y08wYODoovhny5gAQXZ3ps77plyE4nVvLrRMJX6NNU4_RD4pcmQ1cF9JFgiNq5l8dP4Zl7hNfHSYRlHVepUTYn4VRqYWcXr18c2wUeD_HHSQqc_lPS64/s400/IMG-2231.jpg" width="282" /></a></div>
On the base I used the scrolled border stamp from the same set and the sentiment from Ornate Thanks. The flower is punched from Night of Navy card using the Small Bloom Punch. Again sticking to the one colour.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxK9yozq4wmiO46qaWl_wCQn2AoECfAfJFcSHliKv1G1MxpHHbT2ks06rKyq6pr2TZ7nfsMsRsTPyMC4aYZC7ns-aEOWEEIoY1tKwTFwRQRarGVWZS10vvrwnH50Ufm_qke600iLz8uVQ/s1600/IMG-2232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1124" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxK9yozq4wmiO46qaWl_wCQn2AoECfAfJFcSHliKv1G1MxpHHbT2ks06rKyq6pr2TZ7nfsMsRsTPyMC4aYZC7ns-aEOWEEIoY1tKwTFwRQRarGVWZS10vvrwnH50Ufm_qke600iLz8uVQ/s400/IMG-2232.jpg" width="280" /></a></div>
The side view shows that the card sits flush in the interior of the card. I made sure that the framelit was glued down very securely to ensure it was able to slide freely! One of my goals was to make it feel limoge-esque - you know the navy and white dinner ware?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a really simple fold but has great impact. I think its great for milestone birthdays and thank you notes as it can be displayed nicely.

My base card is made with Soft Sea Foam card. I followed <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZhluJw7Rh8">Dawn Griffith's </a> easy to understand YouTube tutorial. However, instead of having three squares of card, had a standard card base and an additional square of card, which was exactly half the card base size; I thought it would be one less join on the card.<br />

I lined the front of the card with Whisper White - simply created a card mount and cut it on the diagonal. The hardest thing was lining up the background stamp. For the background I used Very Versailles - I love every stamp in this set. I stamped the cursive writing in Smokey Slate and the leaves in Pear Pizzazz.<br />

The cherry blossoms are from the Forever Blossoms set. I stamped these in Soft Suede and coloured them with Stampin' Blends. the colour scheme was inspired by the So Shelli Paper Pumpkin from last year because I think the stamp is very similar to the cherry blossoms from that kit. I used Light and dark Petal Pink, Dark Flirty Flamingo, Dark Soft Suede, and Dark and Light Old Olive. I fussy cut the flowers once I had coloured them.<br />

The sentiment is from Peaceful Moments stamp set. I plan to use the card as a birthday card for my mum. I stamped the words in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Whisper White. I punched it out using the Story Label Punch and mounted it on the Pear Pizzazz geometric shape from Detailed Bands Dies.<br />

The punch I am featuring is the Small Bloom Punch which is a free Sale-a-Bration item with this season's SAB! I have made a square card using Basic Black, I have lined it with a square of the black and white striped Designer Series Paper from the Botanical Prints Product Medley. I embossed a rectangle of Basic Black with the Parisian Flourish #D Embossing Folder - this design is delicious! I think its my new favourite.<br />

To make the flowers I punched three (3) flowers using the Small Blossom Punch and Cherry Cobbler card stock.<br />
<br />
1. I texturised the lowers using a bone folder - I do this on a piece of foam from the acrylic block storage container which I have kept (if you haven't got this try using some thick foam).<br />
2. For the centre of the flower I cut between the petals and removed a circle from the centre. I then curl the petals in a spiral using thin nosed tweezers.<br />
3. The second layer of petals is made in the same ways as Step 2 and then I stick two of the petals flush together so that the flower becomes four (4) petals.<br />
4. For the final layer of petals I simply dint the middle of the full flower so that there is a little "well" to sit the other two layers in.<br />
5. I glue them together with Tombow glue<br />
<br />
They are really easy to make and I love that we can create them for scrapping layouts, off the page projects and cards.<br />

I also punched the leaves from Mossy Meadow card using the Leaf Punch from the Annual Catalogue. I then folded the leaves in their centre so as to create some dimension and texture.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I nestled the flowers at the top and bottom of the stamped images. The stamped images were simply stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink using the the type set background stamp and the floral stamp from Fanciful Fragrance, stamped in Whisper White card and cut out using the Layering Ovals Framelits.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I stamped the inside of the card too. To ensure that the stamp image was delicate I stamped it off first and the image is second generation.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The flowers sit off the card front by about 1cm or just over 1/4". I used the Pearls to add some glamour to the card. This was the most time consuming laying them in a curl pattern.<br />

I dimensionalised all the layers except the DSP liner. I loved that I could use the Black Dimensionals for this purpose and everything blended in.<br />

The sentiment came from the Fanciful Fragrance stamp set as well but I trimmed off the words "dear you" as I wanted a simple sentiment.<br />

I think that the typeset background looks great when the flowers are stamped through it and I think it adds a touch of sophistication to what would otherwise be a very simple card.<br />

I hope you have enjoyed my take on 3D Punches and that you try to make these easy flowers.<br />
<br />
Our other team members have some very clever creations, I highly recommend you check them out!<br />
<br />
Until next time, stay glittery!<br />

This month we are featuring "joy cards" and here is my project:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRRrNbxRFl-7pOYjHuODZvu8KfGEIdbVb_yHfziIF42ZGUELyJIUaq57ISQZkd_aJeb0DNRy0gWYROdGPEer5sv5o1kd5AfdYgVGX6cCiJB8m-hmfaG3E_q3ZJoiGG1pWpLM4-Ue9ajrA/s1600/IMG_0629.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1240" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRRrNbxRFl-7pOYjHuODZvu8KfGEIdbVb_yHfziIF42ZGUELyJIUaq57ISQZkd_aJeb0DNRy0gWYROdGPEer5sv5o1kd5AfdYgVGX6cCiJB8m-hmfaG3E_q3ZJoiGG1pWpLM4-Ue9ajrA/s400/IMG_0629.jpg" width="386" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love the Timeless Tropical bundle from the Occasions catalogue and it's quite fitting because tropical holidays are definitely on the agenda at Stampin' Up! at the moment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made a square joy fold card which is basically a small double card where one car slips inside the other. the openings cross over. I followed <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxSV08_0SEY">Linda Bauwin's easy YouTube tutorial</a> and just adjusted the measurements to suit making it square.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My base card is Soft Sea Foam, I mounted the base card on Basic Black and inserted a mount of Basic Black on the inside. I wanted to frame the main part of the card and pop the bright colours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS40kTo5p_g0AzizbuH0tTEV1VFWA1K7DbJN0BofeS-4-F_SuuIubyENakLLPDXarlXw3qTCxTZ2-E6N2Ge540trGMcTjkBhny0mIYXalf3lfqfrA8K3mf6bhZGlsVTRB_5Lc0Kq5wI8M/s1600/IMG_0636.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="773" data-original-width="1600" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS40kTo5p_g0AzizbuH0tTEV1VFWA1K7DbJN0BofeS-4-F_SuuIubyENakLLPDXarlXw3qTCxTZ2-E6N2Ge540trGMcTjkBhny0mIYXalf3lfqfrA8K3mf6bhZGlsVTRB_5Lc0Kq5wI8M/s400/IMG_0636.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The inserted card is also Soft Sea Foam, mounted with a square of Mint Macaron, Basic Black and Whisper White. The original base card (the larger one which closes with spine at the left) is munted with a rectangle of Basic Black and a printed card from the Tropical Oasis Memories and More Card Pack - it has the printed sentiment - the best is yet to come on it and is simply delightful!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicordB1p7Czs0mN2vNWBnQVbgStSNsYgCwBNuW3M3TUq9E-YHzT3gaoSyzPXuw_TSQkPk7juAds7xQTPG9B6B9-LHWJCXw1ZdflmVyfGcmdQnE5o0nJtZy4ySQFyfHlZzMdIoR1TAm6WE/s1600/IMG_0634.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1276" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicordB1p7Czs0mN2vNWBnQVbgStSNsYgCwBNuW3M3TUq9E-YHzT3gaoSyzPXuw_TSQkPk7juAds7xQTPG9B6B9-LHWJCXw1ZdflmVyfGcmdQnE5o0nJtZy4ySQFyfHlZzMdIoR1TAm6WE/s400/IMG_0634.jpg" width="375" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love this sentiment and thought that the leaves frames the hibiscus flowers on the front beautifully. There is also the Tropical Oasis DSP page in a similar design but the colours are not as deep.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh78T4OORmBj2Z4ZYKYVx2wowM6WkcauKYcFOxYJTrJ6moHvG8Oyma4i4onyEsvRV6ByVhWYFs7GbhnmrJfa5NJtjlmo21odUtd1eei5QzahNPSHgPNUmhriyxn4YFQDXW91BIRMewJP-o/s1600/IMG_0635.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="936" data-original-width="1600" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh78T4OORmBj2Z4ZYKYVx2wowM6WkcauKYcFOxYJTrJ6moHvG8Oyma4i4onyEsvRV6ByVhWYFs7GbhnmrJfa5NJtjlmo21odUtd1eei5QzahNPSHgPNUmhriyxn4YFQDXW91BIRMewJP-o/s400/IMG_0635.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The second aspect of the card with the spine folding from the right - I lined this with Basic Black and Whisper White card as this is where the message would be written. I plan to gift this card to a downline who is very close to earning the next Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip to the Caribbean. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The front of the card is stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Whisper White card and coloured with Stampin' Blends. I used the hibiscus flower from the Timeless Tropical Stamp set. I used: Dark Poppy Parade, Dark Cherry Cobbler, Dark Soft Suede, Dark and Light Pumpkin Pie and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvzyraWUnTvVZ63lhf8AvN-_nyU9aSnmRx2vxOa3fPgSzLsjIUy_LUBtV76gFKyJstHzuhs9-rruBuWWTORFMTRKlUg1vGYHLzDxtWzCtTdYXvq6DEiYaXZmWu3pqA9a1Kbr_GOGb2_oM/s1600/IMG_0631.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1282" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvzyraWUnTvVZ63lhf8AvN-_nyU9aSnmRx2vxOa3fPgSzLsjIUy_LUBtV76gFKyJstHzuhs9-rruBuWWTORFMTRKlUg1vGYHLzDxtWzCtTdYXvq6DEiYaXZmWu3pqA9a1Kbr_GOGb2_oM/s400/IMG_0631.jpg" width="373" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the leaves from the same set I used, Dark Mossy Meadow, Light Old Olive and Dark Mint Macaron Stampin' Blends. I fussy cut the flowers and leaves as I didn't want the little white edge that is generated when you use the In the Tropic Dies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN9PvVgXVRIof1iRw1gYouwOT8FEyYxyxHreeqSatP0v8vY_Ge2Uuca058OJoY0Zl1b4z4O9htpDwUGVyI15aofXBrLd16Wp8bVfKnUQYRCo-pfFmklV6jMZFnZ__Q_XWwIa-RjF-Fq0M/s1600/IMG_0632.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1523" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN9PvVgXVRIof1iRw1gYouwOT8FEyYxyxHreeqSatP0v8vY_Ge2Uuca058OJoY0Zl1b4z4O9htpDwUGVyI15aofXBrLd16Wp8bVfKnUQYRCo-pfFmklV6jMZFnZ__Q_XWwIa-RjF-Fq0M/s400/IMG_0632.jpg" width="315" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The sentiment is stamped in Memento Ink using the sentiment from Peaceful Moments stamp set. I added a bit of bling using the sequins from the Peaceful Poppies Sequins pack.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I added a bit of texture with the 8mm Braided Burlap Trim from the Tropical Oasis Suite and created a border at the top and bottom of the front.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
So great to have you back for another Totally Techniques Global Design Team blog hop. We are featuring chalk boarding technique this month and it is such a fun technique. Very simple, but very effective.<br />
<br />
Chalk boarding is usually done on very dark card, with stamping in white. You can choose to use White Craft Ink or White Heat Embossing. I prefer heat embossing because it provides for a sharper image, but I have also employed the Craft Ink in a way that is consistent with chalk boarding.<br />
<br />
I have done two simple card projects:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS89uohD62f3fzS6bb2vB-1iWxRwR8YgZJq7vWlZ2xrZF6IYN-NYkj2wqVPoc5EGrsUlZL9uzJcLcS00XNonKyWtcYM3wCuFsON7hCFQHYcG7jGD_zUt3VptmtOpd35oAwjeSyQE2tpqQ/s1600/IMG-7149.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1355" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS89uohD62f3fzS6bb2vB-1iWxRwR8YgZJq7vWlZ2xrZF6IYN-NYkj2wqVPoc5EGrsUlZL9uzJcLcS00XNonKyWtcYM3wCuFsON7hCFQHYcG7jGD_zUt3VptmtOpd35oAwjeSyQE2tpqQ/s400/IMG-7149.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I feature Flourishing Phrases and I have heat embossed with White Embossing Powder on Basic Black card stock. I mounted the top piece on a rectangle of Whisper White and the card base is Basic Black, lined with Whisper White inside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoZVnVgVSJk7cSaAn0l94eRNLkaxX1jKh8Bvedty6ouvC2xDO3nN-MAHtEIZn_8UJ4CDyFj0WML5THKhBKlvm6sQ9EjDRp7AX-AC2IkN1JiIuiox1CyVzzJbvrEO6vnX4s0NjwmHVv8JU/s1600/IMG-7153.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1361" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoZVnVgVSJk7cSaAn0l94eRNLkaxX1jKh8Bvedty6ouvC2xDO3nN-MAHtEIZn_8UJ4CDyFj0WML5THKhBKlvm6sQ9EjDRp7AX-AC2IkN1JiIuiox1CyVzzJbvrEO6vnX4s0NjwmHVv8JU/s400/IMG-7153.jpg" width="297" /></a></div>
For the first card I have heat embossed the stamped image and highlighted the flowers of the image only. I used a dry aqua painter to apply Craft Whisper White Ink directly to the card. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Whisper White card and punched with the Timeless Label Punch.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFMg89IPm9u8W0acBCan5R_j3oio4wydA7RBYh5G1wEixwFgEgOB-iKaFDQ0ZM-suoHA_8L5heF7KDypR49aiUhom9f4FTDgFwFCroVJ55yzaF_9yyAo-qdyRm6jzgHeeGWYVEPPAry7g/s1600/IMG-7154.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1289" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFMg89IPm9u8W0acBCan5R_j3oio4wydA7RBYh5G1wEixwFgEgOB-iKaFDQ0ZM-suoHA_8L5heF7KDypR49aiUhom9f4FTDgFwFCroVJ55yzaF_9yyAo-qdyRm6jzgHeeGWYVEPPAry7g/s400/IMG-7154.jpg" width="313" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I left the leaves and stems bare for contrast and added some Pearls for a touch of luxe. The pearls marry in beautifully with the chalk style stamping and black and white theme.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For my second project I have used the same stamp and colour scheme but in addition to heat embossing in white I have also distressed over the areas of the stamp image with Whisper White Craft ink, using a sponge. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjpE0azQg-QylB6Z-gOlnZJXhnhNdPu60gzAUbGY_D4yD207yJYsFGvv8Ao4iLAqri4rcougTszZ-_LHfKoIPX3QUYAPgna6z9p_mV05L8Q2768Z3gmH6L5wNImOgc7X_4v4oIGTSbPWo/s1600/IMG-7150.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1336" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjpE0azQg-QylB6Z-gOlnZJXhnhNdPu60gzAUbGY_D4yD207yJYsFGvv8Ao4iLAqri4rcougTszZ-_LHfKoIPX3QUYAPgna6z9p_mV05L8Q2768Z3gmH6L5wNImOgc7X_4v4oIGTSbPWo/s400/IMG-7150.jpg" width="302" /></a></div>
I wanted to give the impression that the black board had been used previously and the chalk residue left on the board.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia8CmeCM9EMWVFVtJOGZEfwu1od9dRIkKV6RTn1i29CX3pA48CAUdBSakK0Eg0LHJWqmplj5-djyubIUv1K-s8wjvzjO0ltCwW6aCWhxly7Un4_6ztHSnpcTtvzkNqRnDo623gvEFSdMs/s1600/IMG-7151.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1330" data-original-width="1014" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia8CmeCM9EMWVFVtJOGZEfwu1od9dRIkKV6RTn1i29CX3pA48CAUdBSakK0Eg0LHJWqmplj5-djyubIUv1K-s8wjvzjO0ltCwW6aCWhxly7Un4_6ztHSnpcTtvzkNqRnDo623gvEFSdMs/s400/IMG-7151.jpg" width="303" /></a></div>
The sentiment in this instance was stamped on Whisper White in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and punched out with the Story Label Punch.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You can only just see that there are some black Rhinestone Jewels on the card to provide a little glamour!<br />
<br />
Such an easy technique and two easy cards for inspiration enjoy.<br />
<br />
Until next time<br />

Welcome back to another Fancy Folds Design Team blog hop! We are featuring W Fold cards this month and the team is doing an incredible job. If you have just popped by from <a href="https://www.emeraldkreations.co.uk/2019/09/fancy-fold-design-team-fancy-fold-card-with-inside-panels/?fbclid=IwAR3LTLvnRJH24xUkWZL27kEsWue0Uz8r2YLDtoOFvkMcvHshX-RT9QApobk">Gina's blog</a> I bet you were impressed, she has such a beautiful style!<br />
<br />
This is my creation this month:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaJEDStxRK_V9fkVJSBKnVQSfPal9NU5KRCtpfKbpFPJI7oGWIYSmdUwHAEA-bgki_U8ICnPY1AL2_2JbCHgssnlDtfK_1Ib2V8idukaMjmbg1Gi72LiWjhMEsrvfQAkYTt22FYZsFEf8/s1600/IMG-6998.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1114" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaJEDStxRK_V9fkVJSBKnVQSfPal9NU5KRCtpfKbpFPJI7oGWIYSmdUwHAEA-bgki_U8ICnPY1AL2_2JbCHgssnlDtfK_1Ib2V8idukaMjmbg1Gi72LiWjhMEsrvfQAkYTt22FYZsFEf8/s400/IMG-6998.jpg" width="362" /></a></div>
I followed the easy <a href="https://youtu.be/wD79z0rdR_E">YouTube Tutorial by Stamping with ME</a>, the card is a really easy fold but has quite the wow factor. My base card is Garden Green (its a square 6"x 6"). I lined the front with a square of Mossy Meadow and then a square of the beautiful Garden Lane Designer Series Paper which is available this month on the DSP promo, Buy 3, Get 1 Free.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVLdzM7SJYEh6_bhQCqSqxD0HLq_gjs0ipCJTM3KdAG8Obn5bVGTm2OnVJbjPLhoSHpXwDShIgBpk210G-MxgHwr1COevwW0C2-5wNHZDHQq940EQLHmdaFMZQbnC65xGPktWY4NWyNig/s1600/IMG-6999.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1323" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVLdzM7SJYEh6_bhQCqSqxD0HLq_gjs0ipCJTM3KdAG8Obn5bVGTm2OnVJbjPLhoSHpXwDShIgBpk210G-MxgHwr1COevwW0C2-5wNHZDHQq940EQLHmdaFMZQbnC65xGPktWY4NWyNig/s400/IMG-6999.jpg" width="306" /></a></div>
Arial view so that you can see where the "W" fold comes into play. Basically its panels on the inside. This is what it looks like opened up, the middle panel sits up in a mountain which means it folds closed flat but always has the rise in the centre when its open. I used the Good Morning Magnolia and the Magnolia Blooms sets for the images and for the sentiment I used Here's to Strong Women.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I lined the inside of the card with a square of Mossy Meadow and another square from the Garden Lane DSP I love the lattice feel to this design. On the right hand side I lined the inside of the card with a square of the same DSP and mounted a square of Whisper White to the top of it. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The centre band which forms the "W" is Garden Green card mounted with another design from the same DSP and mounted with Whisper White on both ends and then the left centre is left bare and the right centre has the sentiment mounted on and oval of Garden Green. The ovals have all been cut using the Layering Ovals.<br />

The magnolias and sentiments have all been stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. The flowers were coloured using Stampin' Blends in the following colours: Light Flirty Flamingo. Light and Dark Petal Pink, Light and Dark Mossy Meadow, Light Old Olive, Light Soft Suede. I fussy cut all of the flowers post colouring.<br />

I added the little scroll from Good Morning Magnolia when it dawned on me that it would be almost impossible to write on the bottom section of the card.<br />

I added Gold Glimmer Paper features to break up the colours and to add a touch of bling. I cut them using the Christmas Cardinal Dies in Holiday Mini - I love how fine and delicate the leaves are.<br />

I tried to place a different combination of flowers on each panel to add interest and to show off the beautiful magnolia images. Magnolias are really on trend at the moment and its great to work with the two complementary stamp sets.<br />

I added rhinestone jewels to add extra sparkle and interest to the layout. You can also colour the rhinestones using the Stampin' Blends but on this occasion I left them as they come.<br />

I adore this sentiment and plan to use it a heap. It's one of those stamps that you don't notice until someone uses it on a project. I discovered it recently and love every stamp in the set.<br />

The card is quite busy but I hope the DSP and different flowers break up the design and make each feature pop.<br />

A reverse top angle so that you can fully appreciate the internal fold. I simply adhered the panel with Tear n Tape because it has the best stickability.<br />

You can see how the cold and the rhinestones really complement the colours in the magnolias and the DSP. This DSP pack has so many gorgeous designs and they are all subtle tones of greens which look great with any project.<br />

I hope I have whet your appetite and that you feel like experimenting with this great fold, it's easy and has a great impact.<br />

Welcome back to our Totally Techniques Global Design Team blog hop - this month we are featuring Embossing Paste. I love all things textured and I think there is nothing better than layers, and different media, papers and textures in a project.<br />
<br />
I hope you are enjoying the hop so far. If I am your first stop, definitely check out the other ream members. We have demonstrators from every market where Stampin' Up! is available.<br />
<br />
This is my project:<br />

Square card for something completely different. The base is Cherry Cobbler, mounted with a square of Granny Apple Green, my new "go to" green tone. I then mounted it with a square of Whisper White which I had stencilled first.<br />

I used the Brick Wall stencil from the Pattern Party Decorative Masks pack and Shimmery White Embossing Paste which I mixed with some Golden Glitz Ink Refill (from the new Holiday Mini which is released on 4 September). I simply squirted the re-inker in with the paste, mixed it with the spatula and applied it to the stencil in the usual fashion. It dried in the same amount of time.<br />

The bird image is from the Free as a Bird stamp set, stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloured with Dark Mossy Meadow, Light and Dark Old Olive, Dark Sea Foam and Dark Soft Suede Stampin' Blends. I fussy cut the bird out then stretched it with the bone folder so that it popped out and had more dimension. It is adhered with layered dimensionals.<br />

Nestled amongst the flowers it adds a spot of green that breaks up the pinks and reds and contrasts nicely with the textured brick background. The Scalloped Lace Trim and Iridescent Sequins provide another constrast in texture and sheen.<br />

To a Wild Rose is a divine set to stamp with. It is a three-step stamping set and you can layer up the flowers in deeply contrasting colours or similar shades - it's your choice and every colour combo looks vastly different. What I love about this set is that the images never ever look identical. I stamped the roses in Blushing Bride, Lovely Lipstick and Cherry Cobbler. The centre of the flowers is stamped in Blackberry Bliss. The leaves are in Pear Pizzazz, Granny Apply Green and Mossy Meadow. The images were all stamped on Whisper White card and fussy cut. I even snipped between the petals to be able to bend and texturise the flowers.<br />

The smaller flower images are from the Free as aBird set, stamped in Blackberry Bliss and coloured with the Dark and Light Lovely Lipstick and Dark Petal Pink Stampin' Blends. I fussy cut them and folded the petals up to add to their shape. I thought that the smaller flowers complemented the larger roses, balancing the composition.<br />

Leaves, flowers and lace over-hang the edges of the card to give it a wild and over-grown feel. the flowers sit at differing levels as well replicating nature. </div>

Welcome back to another blog hop with the crazy Totally Techniques Design Team, this month we are featuring Stencil Sponging!<br />
<br />
This is my project this month:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Surprise, surprise! a square card! 6" x 6" and it was so fun and easy to make! I hope that you are enjoying the other projects on this months hop - we have so many talented people in our Totally techniques Design Team.<br />

I have wanted to work with the Magnolia Lane Suite since I saw it at OnStage in April and have finally gotten the chance. I also used the laser cut cards from the Bird Ballad Suite.<br />
<br />
I followed the tutorial on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEtbThzO5aM&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR2NmjB92wE8MWsXwwydnEskE0ttg_SPGDy9-Ml4XC8jEdm2Dg9fbamzwk8">Splitcoast Stampers YouTube channel by Loll Thompson</a> -it was so easy to follow:<br />

I stencilled the background using a Laser Cut Card from the Bird Ballard Laser Cut Cards & Tin featured on page 168 of the new Annual Catalogue. I sponged the card front using Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and So Saffron Classic Ink Pads and Stamping Sponges. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw_gXI6b0buY0g6Rh1VCn9Tch5-WkDSDBlrWyPudyalkP-xIGchJ3WgkOz4HGzg8pQdbFCAMaZyM27enOJQ19mBCNhdqKC1UY60Id0_3fS0c9bBs9XwOUOeev9DawXyDalwOd0csqWou0/s1600/IMG_3514.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1377" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw_gXI6b0buY0g6Rh1VCn9Tch5-WkDSDBlrWyPudyalkP-xIGchJ3WgkOz4HGzg8pQdbFCAMaZyM27enOJQ19mBCNhdqKC1UY60Id0_3fS0c9bBs9XwOUOeev9DawXyDalwOd0csqWou0/s400/IMG_3514.jpg" width="293" /></a></div>
The base card is thick Whisper White card, mounted with a square of Mossy Meadow and an additional square of Whisper White which I stencilled direct. I wanted the colours to blend somewhat and look like layered lace doilies.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg85F0EICRwfULZFXAmFd5mlmuXgPH_Fp8su8jF7ps_-0m-rYy37rAydnNUv8-ffARulIP9esUcaDnkQdUSSK2IMODXQepAat4gHh8ToCVpLGSjIXxboRVrgOZI_574a56NXNxxCO2q1o0/s1600/IMG_3515.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="967" data-original-width="1013" height="381" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg85F0EICRwfULZFXAmFd5mlmuXgPH_Fp8su8jF7ps_-0m-rYy37rAydnNUv8-ffARulIP9esUcaDnkQdUSSK2IMODXQepAat4gHh8ToCVpLGSjIXxboRVrgOZI_574a56NXNxxCO2q1o0/s400/IMG_3515.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I stamped the magnolia from Good Morning Magnolia in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Whisper White card and coloured the flowers using Light and Dark Petal Pink and Light and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends. The leaves are done in Light and Dark Old Olive and the stem in Light and Dark Soft Suede Stampin' Blends.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOxHTESH7M4ZeusOm5yUaVPBi8TrEVEUyw25q-jT0DYlhIAC20PtbOu3z6mqnSBnOA9ovxDUaNGANeVN-V5KsV_T9tsjUmqjMPZv-En4SyGQztfGtG1AM3QxPwB-XUB2ps9GjXsugOmDc/s1600/IMG_3516.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1232" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOxHTESH7M4ZeusOm5yUaVPBi8TrEVEUyw25q-jT0DYlhIAC20PtbOu3z6mqnSBnOA9ovxDUaNGANeVN-V5KsV_T9tsjUmqjMPZv-En4SyGQztfGtG1AM3QxPwB-XUB2ps9GjXsugOmDc/s400/IMG_3516.jpg" width="328" /></a></div>
The sentiment is from the Good Morning Magnolia set as well, stamped on the inside in Memento Ink and I stamped and coloured a smaller magnolia for the same set.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEpk12GU8p4OsV64p1qgDn_obHpBlJl06U3kSEpGYABIaB0YREL6w3uTNX-z2rJ3FcaHAfpJajnMYF-2FvRvDkrZdYYfXyRsk73IUi1iTA7aq3Dq8Ju6Gc8a6fGYa-MRa4WQePshqyuCE/s1600/IMG_3517.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1308" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEpk12GU8p4OsV64p1qgDn_obHpBlJl06U3kSEpGYABIaB0YREL6w3uTNX-z2rJ3FcaHAfpJajnMYF-2FvRvDkrZdYYfXyRsk73IUi1iTA7aq3Dq8Ju6Gc8a6fGYa-MRa4WQePshqyuCE/s400/IMG_3517.jpg" width="308" /></a></div>
I fussy cut the flowers out once I had coloured them and adhered them to the card front with dimensionals. I punched out the Story Label in Mossy Meadow and cut out the oval around the "thanks" sentiment from the Good Morning Magnolia set in Memento Ink with the Layering Oval Framelits.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ3UVzKZ2AKYmzWeHDb_UAGLNQaeOW0sMJIih-HaAEk68b8QMQb2HSg96nQRY-Yh-0N47En3-EBjc08ur9eMT7nVoMFl0_XvBcL-SrxHyS4NJSDJT4dmvLqd4-TJ4fnZoqu1dMxMzsQuQ/s1600/IMG_3518.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1112" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ3UVzKZ2AKYmzWeHDb_UAGLNQaeOW0sMJIih-HaAEk68b8QMQb2HSg96nQRY-Yh-0N47En3-EBjc08ur9eMT7nVoMFl0_XvBcL-SrxHyS4NJSDJT4dmvLqd4-TJ4fnZoqu1dMxMzsQuQ/s400/IMG_3518.jpg" width="363" /></a></div>
I think it worked out quite well. I love the effect of stencilling and think that it can be applied to so many projects - card making and scrapping.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Don't leave us just yet - there's still so much to see! Why not hop along to the next project?<br />
<br />
Until next time, stay sparkly!<br />

This is a very simple "Box Card" one of the famously collapsable cards that has a box structure in it. I am sure that others have taken a different path on this project but this was the style that I liked most.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I followed <a href="https://youtu.be/JljePeW_uDo">May-May's YouTube tutorial</a> which is very simple, but you may also like to follow my step by step instructions.</div>

The card requires one sheet of A4 card, I have used both metric and Imperial measurements for your ease.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDtkNdGoB1Dh6sEfk9Fb5LvyhAJ6OaewmJo6CXMAn4PIMneaaQg2o-9kzME5T-mxSoeBKHIZ5NdNZ4gNw1XoPsdfuU7KtKiPCQWOxjSJrOjt1JZB-VMAl68K6EKi4N31E5V-0UWIAUfuk/s1600/IMG_3492.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1014" data-original-width="1341" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDtkNdGoB1Dh6sEfk9Fb5LvyhAJ6OaewmJo6CXMAn4PIMneaaQg2o-9kzME5T-mxSoeBKHIZ5NdNZ4gNw1XoPsdfuU7KtKiPCQWOxjSJrOjt1JZB-VMAl68K6EKi4N31E5V-0UWIAUfuk/s400/IMG_3492.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
First score your piece on the landscape position at:<br />
<br />
Metric: 7.4cm, 14.9cm and 22.4cm<br />
Imperial: 2<span style="font-size: x-small;">3/4</span>", 5<span style="font-size: x-small;">1/2</span>" and 8<span style="font-size: x-small;">1/4</span>"<br />
<br />
Next flip it to the portrait position and score at:<br />
<br />
Metric: 10.5cm<br />
Imperial: 4<span style="font-size: x-small;">1/4</span>"<br />
<br />
Finally in the portrait position cut the centre of the card from the score line at 7.4cm (2<span style="font-size: x-small;">3/4</span>") to the 22.4cm (8<span style="font-size: x-small;">1/4</span>") as per the green line on the diagram.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1rdaXPS7gKRa-RzKCmUOUol2agF0RjVIs8RRmzb_GrftMNHMDCGz-QnW3H_ofE2EgYMUhL9gxjr9j5c7WQ1brs3Se08boWaKbY3UAwvZDNONctuSY2qJUL6PuID6bb95uJ7dx9u6pF2A/s1600/IMG_3493.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1147" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1rdaXPS7gKRa-RzKCmUOUol2agF0RjVIs8RRmzb_GrftMNHMDCGz-QnW3H_ofE2EgYMUhL9gxjr9j5c7WQ1brs3Se08boWaKbY3UAwvZDNONctuSY2qJUL6PuID6bb95uJ7dx9u6pF2A/s400/IMG_3493.jpg" width="352" /></a></div>
Using a framelit of your choice cut the shape out of the two middle rectangles. Fold the card portrait to do this step, the rest of the tie the card is folded landscape. I like the Layering Ovals Framelits because they complimented the Everything is Rosy Suite. I cut through both the layers at once. Make sure that you fold your card to ensure that only the two rectangle areas are cut out.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYyLXMKJf50J1o41fKuKNr_Pl97yi9dxzewRSkL6FQZ1OR0YKo2BAIQGsQ8oC2t81vKpq6boEyVaHK-TyXDfHXXNSraFRs0meG-heVjXgulAmrtDyzEhmKAIwiYHZRCI58DclvQPxTf2E/s1600/IMG_3494.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1014" data-original-width="1282" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYyLXMKJf50J1o41fKuKNr_Pl97yi9dxzewRSkL6FQZ1OR0YKo2BAIQGsQ8oC2t81vKpq6boEyVaHK-TyXDfHXXNSraFRs0meG-heVjXgulAmrtDyzEhmKAIwiYHZRCI58DclvQPxTf2E/s400/IMG_3494.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
This is what the voice look like. I placed a piece of DSP behind the space so you could see it clearly.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQVEjK1nHedJ4RHlUEeLgeMGRoic6gF39FAdxC5u9IUA6uMmm3EVnluBu0CTP_bLTvX61YcHgYJnh03rEyvNhheF6ILnRLcmysrhEwyGQkm5XxgNiu6ODEIih8BunfxG05QVYqdrCGi6Q/s1600/IMG_3495.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1176" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQVEjK1nHedJ4RHlUEeLgeMGRoic6gF39FAdxC5u9IUA6uMmm3EVnluBu0CTP_bLTvX61YcHgYJnh03rEyvNhheF6ILnRLcmysrhEwyGQkm5XxgNiu6ODEIih8BunfxG05QVYqdrCGi6Q/s400/IMG_3495.jpg" width="343" /></a></div>
Next step is the brackets for the floating inserts. This is is a piece of Whisper White scrap that measures - 9.4cm (3<span style="font-size: x-small;">3/4</span>") x 4 cm (1<span style="font-size: x-small;">1/2</span>"). With the card in landscape position score in from each side 1cm (1/4") and then in the portrait position cut the piece into 4 equal lengths (1cm or 1/4"). Burnish the score marks squarely. the more precise you are the better the project will come together.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Fold the car in halves so that the cut out voids are both situated like they are above in step 3. Flip the back over so that the voids are flush on your healing mat and the surface you are working on is the inside of the back cover. With the side of the card facing left and the fold of the strip facing the centre fold of the base card adhere the strips consecutively butting up against each other.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgapvIYNxJurUBY8gXf_XYmUa5JmqE8nAWkl8S0GRA9nNmB18qotw3glMGzpU6oHlMWSMmjhH_l_CGYuiKMgoCbSi8EpMCgijv3Ofjv_cPCT_16ZfiRIqshyCeovBNgmRi2NWJhIywENP8/s1600/IMG_3497.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="922" data-original-width="1338" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgapvIYNxJurUBY8gXf_XYmUa5JmqE8nAWkl8S0GRA9nNmB18qotw3glMGzpU6oHlMWSMmjhH_l_CGYuiKMgoCbSi8EpMCgijv3Ofjv_cPCT_16ZfiRIqshyCeovBNgmRi2NWJhIywENP8/s400/IMG_3497.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
This is what the adhered pieces look like from above all lined up precisely. place glue on each of the folded tabs being careful not to use too much. You may prefer to use glue dots the first time.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMTVk69GRQZbDznzN9P5mwvE5M9O2A1hjb429jsuOvlZADbCLfkvBh6NiXlBy4Q7jLc5Px1kWLDsXaFM9lQk_J5-b1OXhCzKYvqoIrmb0QrV5VBqwcFHsqBcao0wfpKCMmByIMYdY25lI/s1600/IMG_3498.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1048" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMTVk69GRQZbDznzN9P5mwvE5M9O2A1hjb429jsuOvlZADbCLfkvBh6NiXlBy4Q7jLc5Px1kWLDsXaFM9lQk_J5-b1OXhCzKYvqoIrmb0QrV5VBqwcFHsqBcao0wfpKCMmByIMYdY25lI/s400/IMG_3498.jpg" width="386" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Flip the front of the card back over and press the prepared strips to the base of the card with the voids already cut. Sounds crazy but it is really simple and means that your brackets line up every time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivSst3veCdGzPdJtitemg7kK9PcdzKRMWp816RncZqQExaI7tXqh5ny-2YPOxK7KNKDvAQ-KmNJbC42YD60lr08qUtyeJJUEaR16tyPsDG8CIbp-mx3bovRYrBxirC4IJZFMXkQ0fdTno/s1600/IMG_3499.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1038" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivSst3veCdGzPdJtitemg7kK9PcdzKRMWp816RncZqQExaI7tXqh5ny-2YPOxK7KNKDvAQ-KmNJbC42YD60lr08qUtyeJJUEaR16tyPsDG8CIbp-mx3bovRYrBxirC4IJZFMXkQ0fdTno/s400/IMG_3499.jpg" width="390" /></a></div>
This is what the brackets look like and from a different angle once the flower embellishments are stuck in using glue dots. I chose to use the Everything is Rosy suite because it is available this month only.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is the view looking into the box from the side with everything lined up as you would expect it to sit on a shelf. I stamped the sentiment from High Tide in Night of Navy on one of the pre-cut sentiment shapes from the Everything is Rosy suite.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The DSP rectangles are cut from the Everything is Rosy 6" x 6" DSP Stack. I also cut the scalloped edged oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits and the Whisper White Oval is cut from the layered oval. The sentiment on this facet is stamped in Night of Navy using a sentiment from the Well Said set.<br />

I love the contrast in the stark white agains the bokd pink and blue background and the splash of rose gold for contrast.<br />

For the void on the side of the box that is at right angles to the brackets and flower inserts. I cut the oval (the same size as the void) from another piece of DSP from the Everything is Rosy Pack. I wanted to break up the pinks so opted for the marbled Night of Navy and Rose Gold piece.<br />

Another piece of the DSP for the base and contrasting with a strip of the Night of Navy and Rose Gold DSP and then a piece of each of the ribbons that come with the suite - these are stunning, add interest and also texture!<br />

Laying Ovals again with Rose Gold, Night of Navy and Whisper White - I stamped the sentiment from Country Home in Night of navy. I cut the fine leaves with the framelit in the Everything is Rosy Framelits.<br />

The flowers are actually stamped using the Rose Gold Shimmer Paint and a dauber on the larger stamp in the Everything is Rosy stamp set. I stamped the smaller flowers in Melon Mambo and then went over them with Wink of Stella. You can't see the shimmer in the photographs but they look incredible in real life. I also painted some pearl jewels using the Rose Gold Shimmer Paint. They were all cut out using the matching framelits.<br />

The leaves were stamped in Night of Navy and Smokey Slate and cut out with the matching framelits. I adhered the flowers and leaves with glue dots and dimensionals.<br />

This is the full inside of the card - I love that the sentiment lines up through both ovals so it doesn't matter which way you look. And when you look through the oval void towards the last aspect of the card it looks like it is framed by the void as well.<br />

Welcome back to another blog hop with the Fancy Folds Design Team, this month we are featuring Interlocking Gate Fold Cards.<br />
<br />
You may have just come by from <a href="http://www.emeraldkreations.co.uk/2019/05/fancy-fold-may-blog-hop-interlocking-gate-fold/">the lovely Gina's blog,</a> wasn't her project sooooo beautiful? This is my project this month:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I followed the easy to understand <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDDwuiU8jtU">YouTube instruction video from Dawn Griffiths.</a> and made a square 6" x 6" card.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have featured the soon to retire Petal Pallet Stamp Set (a real favourite of mine) and Hardwood Stamp. The base card is Thick Whisper White card, mounted on a square of Real Red and the Basic Black to frame up the card.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKFENiRyD9k1mAk0-bGHBWQBx-vyicsKufDQynPqILjcAFcbsbNL0HtBCih9fWx_z1ZlvfbTJr1uEvbkldzvltMoq_Vd7Y9NuXFOBTIPFBYVreWAihWFVlRMx7ngZaAgHzTmXakNSb4zM/s1600/IMG_3044.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1339" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKFENiRyD9k1mAk0-bGHBWQBx-vyicsKufDQynPqILjcAFcbsbNL0HtBCih9fWx_z1ZlvfbTJr1uEvbkldzvltMoq_Vd7Y9NuXFOBTIPFBYVreWAihWFVlRMx7ngZaAgHzTmXakNSb4zM/s400/IMG_3044.jpg" width="302" /></a></div>
The aim was to have a stark contrast between the background and the stamped images and I thought I accomplished this with the heat embossed Hardwood stamped image on the Basic Black. I heat embossed using Versamark and Clear Embossing powder.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The main stamped image in the centre is stamped on Whisper White card using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and coloured using the Light and Dark Poppy Parade, Light and Dark Cherry Cobbler and Light and Dark Old Olive Stampin' Blends.<br />

I fussy cut the flowers and leaves and adhered them directly to the background. I wanted it to appear as if the roses were tumbling across the card. Of course to appeal to the eye I needed to use an odd number. Seven flowers didn't seem like enough but I worried that nine is too many. . .<br />

The sentiments are from the same set and I simply inked up part of the sentiment for the "love you". I cut the sentiment out using the Beautiful Banner Framelit Dies.<br />

I plan to use the card for a birthday coming up next month. I love this set and will really miss it as it goes so well with colouring and plain stamping.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeyXQ9oWwLxB0GXaMpO7i_XNNDEX11Dq0CZYNihC9Nl4icaQIiiVoALgpSMA5Ype-71vav-UBLiEHCUXhOOIcbuJPSQeTRVQPGD1pN3BUEgXx0AEMc8dsTvp1IIQKKUpPXJk9wYeCL3cw/s1600/IMG_3050.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1279" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeyXQ9oWwLxB0GXaMpO7i_XNNDEX11Dq0CZYNihC9Nl4icaQIiiVoALgpSMA5Ype-71vav-UBLiEHCUXhOOIcbuJPSQeTRVQPGD1pN3BUEgXx0AEMc8dsTvp1IIQKKUpPXJk9wYeCL3cw/s400/IMG_3050.jpg" width="316" /></a></div>
I used the Layering Circles Die Cuts for the interlocking feature. The interlocking facets of my card are quite fine compared with the one that Dawn created in her YouTube but I wanted the stamped roses to be the focal point. I even tried to piece together the leaves on the edges of the circle to maintain the impact of the images.<br />

I hope that you have found some inspiration in this fancy fold. It's an easy but impactful design and great for all occasions.<br />

So excited to have you back for another blog hop with the International Thinking Outside the Box Design Team! This month we are sharing Sour Cream Containers!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Potentially you have joined me from <a href="https://feefeestampin.com/?page_id=378">Fiona Carson's amazing blog - I love my Kiwi friend's take on this months project.</a> Always so inspiring! This is my first project:<br />

For my first container I used the Gold and White Striped Treat Bag. It made the job really easy.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I simply trimmed off the top pinking edges.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig2keBt560k2Q10NYH3UTAKIcWsWD4WRUo-q3sZLaMUz2ZGiNancpV8YvYJ1YyO4_bwTgqxmSsWLgGdVQaNeZwzvuj1UGU56diA4_jC23S0OhIQY0Vhu7aK-QWG6o8_JVyVEsiuWX2B2U/s1600/IMG_2427.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1295" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig2keBt560k2Q10NYH3UTAKIcWsWD4WRUo-q3sZLaMUz2ZGiNancpV8YvYJ1YyO4_bwTgqxmSsWLgGdVQaNeZwzvuj1UGU56diA4_jC23S0OhIQY0Vhu7aK-QWG6o8_JVyVEsiuWX2B2U/s400/IMG_2427.jpg" width="312" /></a></div>
I then folded the top of the treat bag so that the sides pressed flat together. I crimped the edges slightly (technically this would ordinarily be the centre front and back of the treat bag)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheBXPVB1N4BgK26r81syDWmhfSNFWs2dsOpnEgf5HeGNNFwtI50GjoPQFfxwSVSEYs7L_eMln1kFF2mQy1Jdhf2Y6Hgg1xT2GVF1s8C_TTq4qbJZvIairASAEaR3Sh_UlMGMuVWOL3Exc/s1600/IMG_2428.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1046" data-original-width="1013" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheBXPVB1N4BgK26r81syDWmhfSNFWs2dsOpnEgf5HeGNNFwtI50GjoPQFfxwSVSEYs7L_eMln1kFF2mQy1Jdhf2Y6Hgg1xT2GVF1s8C_TTq4qbJZvIairASAEaR3Sh_UlMGMuVWOL3Exc/s320/IMG_2428.jpg" width="309" /></a></div>
I folded the edge over slightly and burnished along the folded edge with the bone folder.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The tag was stamped using the Climbing Roses stamp from the Occasions Cattie, heat embossed in Gold. The sentiment from the same set is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink. I trimmed the top of the tag with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. The gold and white ribbon is from the Holiday Cattie and retired and I tied it off with the Metallic Gold Thread.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love the simplicity if the gold on white and the touch of green marries is with the leaves that I cut using the Foliage Frame Framelits in Mossy Meadow and the Old Olive leaves using the Wonderful Floral Framelit Dies from the Occasions Cattie.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sticking with the gold theme I used a small gold Library Clip to keep the container closed at the top. I plan to use the package for some easter treats this weekend. I can also imagine that it would make a great wedding favour or memento from a milestone birthday party or anniversary.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Sour Cream Containers look fabulous from the side too as they sit very nicely once they have goodies inside.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is such a simple container, coupled with relatively simple stamping.<br />

Here's my second take on the container:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Featuring the stamped images from Bouquet Blooms and some extra foliage cut from Mossy Meadow card stock.</div>

Measurements are really simple. Half an A4 page scored at 5cm and 6.5cm.<br />

Randomly stamped flowers in Poppy Parade ink and the sentiment from the same set stamped in Mossy Meadow ink.<br />

Literally stick the back and base together and the top at the cross 45 degree. so that the top and the bottom end up stuck opposite ways.<br />

This is a terrific container for party favours and small treats, perhaps something that can be sent to school with the kiddies - especially where you need to make a lot of them!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used the other stamps from the same set - the circular "sun rays" are stamped in Mossy Meadow and the floral bouquet stamped half in Mossy Meadow and the other half in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I cut out the sun-ray image with the largest circle from the Stitched Edge Framelit Dies.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I stamped an additional large flower and two lots of the smaller flowers in Poppy Parade. I fussy cut all of the images. I coloured some of the flower using Light and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends. I adhered the flowers over the black stamped images to mask the black and green.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZnKaCrP8orHYz_qJiHWIOXpjKnSYxcpPiWHMYMMMboWm9G9T1z5XVdtni9Ad60E6EYO13I4zLejj9AqAtuyQ8EOg8QHOL4wWNZnQ9JT7zZn9SU0OT57ymx_GyNzfNl1M6dE_xmfWGitw/s1600/IMG_2438.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1260" data-original-width="1013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZnKaCrP8orHYz_qJiHWIOXpjKnSYxcpPiWHMYMMMboWm9G9T1z5XVdtni9Ad60E6EYO13I4zLejj9AqAtuyQ8EOg8QHOL4wWNZnQ9JT7zZn9SU0OT57ymx_GyNzfNl1M6dE_xmfWGitw/s400/IMG_2438.jpg" width="321" /></a></div>
I then adhered the two leaves which were cut out using the Foliage Frames Framelit Dies in Mossy Meadow behind the bouquet flowers and dimensionalised them on the sun-ray image. The sentiment is from the same set.<br />
<br />
This is a really simple container and one that you can make a large number of in a short time. I hope you feel like making a few this weekend!<br />
