Fancy Fold Friday – Centre Step Card

Hello! Welcome to another Fancy Fold Friday!

This card was so complicated! I very very nearly gave up with it all together, and I’ve got to say that the DSP dimensions were pure luck! However, i decided I would share the basic structure of the card with you.

Stampin' Up! UK Centre Step Card

This card uses Pool Party Cardstock cut to 8 1/4″ by 5 3/4″. You’re going to need to grab that Stampin’ Trimmer for this one! Cut two lines in the card stock, the first at 1 3/4″ from 1 3/4 to 4 3/4″ and then at 4 1/4″ from 1 3/4 to 4 3/4″. This should give you two slits in your piece of card. Then score along the long edge at 2″, at the start of the two slits (between the two slits ONLY!), at 4 1/8″ either side of the cuts, and between the two slits at 5 3/4″ and at the end of the slits.

Stampin' Up! UK Centre Step Card

This card also features stamps from Blooming with Kindness and Petite Petals (along with the Petite Petal punch) and the Sentiment is punch using the Decorative Label Punch

Let me know in the comments below if you want a video tutorial on some of the fancy folds featured as part of Fancy Fold Friday!

See you again next week

This card uses a Crushed Curry Card base, and a piece of Colour Me Autumn DSP (the colours in this pack of DSP are gorgeous – Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze, Old Olive! <3). I stamped the DSP with Crushed Curry ink using the Hello Darling Stamp set (one of the ones I chose as my freebies!).

I coloured the Flower stamp with my Stampin’ Write Markers in Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, and Old Olive, before stamping onto the DSP

 

 

Stampin' Up! UK I like you Stampin Write Markers

 

The sentiment for this card comes from the FREE good greetings stamp set, stamped in Mossy Meadow onto the same DSP, and punched out using the Modern Label Punch, layered with two other punched pieces

I didn’t think Crushed Curry was really going to be my colour! Boy, was I Wrong!

Fancy Fold Friday – Steps of a Festival!

So, this is the last post of our week of Festival of Trees 🙁

I really do love this stamp set (can you tell!) and I’m sure I have plenty of crafting left with it before it leaves us on January 5th 2015

As its Fancy Fold Friday, I couldnt end the week without doing a Fancy Fold Festival of Trees card – this week, Stepper Cards!

FFF - stepper 1

This card is a little complex to cut and score. The cardbase (here in Mossy Meadow) is cut to 8 1/4 by 5 3/4, and is scored on the short side at 2″, and on the long side at 4 1/8″, and 2 1/8, 5 1/4. 6 1/4/ ad 7 1/8 to the 2″ score line.

Side Stepper Card Score Dimentions

Using you Stampin’ Trimmer, cut the 2″ score line between the 2 1/8″ score line and 7 1/8″. The next trick is folding. Fold the 7 1/8″ score line away from you, folding the other lines like a concertina, ensuring that the 4 1/8″ score line on the unscored side is also folded away from you.

This should give you a side stepper card!

As it is Festival of Trees week, I have decorated my Side Stepper as a forest, using two of the tree stamps, the star and both of the sentiments.

FFF - stepper 2

Have I mentioned how much I love how Stampin’ Up! products coordinate – the festival of trees star stamp which works perfectly with the star punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack! LOVE IT!

In addition to the Mossy Meadow cardstock, this card features Very Vanilla cardstock, and Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz and Real Red inks!

Can wait for next week!

Thank you continuing to read on, on this wonder World Card Making Day 2014!

The sentiment is simply stamped from the I Like You hostess set underneath.

World Card Making Day 2014 – Punched Papillon

Welcome to the 4th card I’ve made for World Card Making Day 2014!

Stampin' Up! UK Papillon Potpourri Label punch

I recent got the Elegant Butterfly punch (Yes, once again I’m late to the party!). One of the first things I do when I get new product is check out what other people have done with it, generally on Pinterest! This card is inspired by THIS one by Julie Davison.

I used the Elegant Butterfly Punch, and the Decorative Label out of Whisper White cardstock, and layered the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack behind. The card base is So Saffron, and the DSP is in So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz, and Pool Party!

I love this card, its super cute! as as per usual my photos dont do it justice! more practice needed I’m sure!

 

Love the DSP! check out our latest Stampin’ Up! Joining offer – get a Pack of Paper every month of 6 months!

Back to Basics Zoo Babies

 

Seeing as we are now right at the end of September, it time to say goodbye to our Product of the Month (yes, their will be another in October!) but before we do, I thought I would grab it again for one final project!

Stampin' Up! UK Zoo Babies Back to Basics AlphabetHow cute is this card! I used that Back to Basics Alphabet to create a background – almost like a word search, for the front of the card.

The card base is in Marina Mist (LOVE! – it only arrived on friday, I think its a new favourite!), with the word search layer in Soft sky, and inked in Soft Sky ink. Then I’ve used; Calypso Coral, Marina Mist, Pear Pizzazz and So Saffron to stamp the Zoo Babies animals, and the sentiment.

super cute, and a great way to end our Product of the Month for September. Back to Basics is still available through to June of 2015 (at least, let hope its even longer! I love the font.), grab it now by clicking the links through to my webshop

Check back soon for the reveal of our Product of the Month for October!

Personalised Wedding Cards!

Back in wedding mode again today! These are some cards I made for a friend, as thank you cards for the special ladies involved in her wedding – flower girls, bridesmaids, and the mothers!

I was so exicted when I took the order for these! Her colour scheme was white, pale pink and grey, so I took that and ran with it!

Stampin' Up! UK Wedding Everything Eleanor

I used Whisper White, Smokey Slate and Pink Pirouette, along with Everything Eleanor (isnt it the most gorgeous set for weddings!) and the Back to Basic Alphabet to personalise the cards. The flowers are a mix of Petite Petals and Itty Bitty Accents, and they are finished off with the coordinating stamp and some Pearl Basic Jewels

Stampin' Up! UK Wedding Everything Eleanor

These bridesmaids cards use Smokey Slate as the card base, and the same stamp sets as before. Each card has the bridesmaids name on, handstamped using that Back to Basics Alphabet

Stampin' Up! UK Wedding Everything Eleanor

The last set of cards are the ones I made for the Flower girls. Once again they use Everything Eleanor and Back to Basics, but this time I decided to make them a little more fun, and used the bird stamp to add an extra litte something.

Each of the cards was also stamped with a coordinating stamp inside, and also on the envelope.

I love making cards with purpose like these. Having just finished my own wedding invitations though, I might have to have a little break from weddings…….. ok thats enough of a break! I do love a good wedding, dont you?

CASE Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Catalogue 2014

I’ve discussed the meaning of CASE before – Copy and Share Everything, really its what we do all the time; see something and take it as inspiration for our own project whether that be something really similar to someone elses or quite different.

Today I’ve used a card from the Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Catalogue for my inspiration. I’ve stuck to it quite closely really, but a few details are changed. I used this as my Make and Take project for my Stampin’ Party a few weeks ago, the ladies had a great time making this card and I’m sure you will too! The links to the products used are at the end of this post, and a link to my shop is on the right hand side of this page.

Stampin' Up! UK Festival of Trees

So you can find this card (and the supplies neccessary to create it) on page 25 of the Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Autumn Winter Catalogue for 2014. The original uses some of the gorgeous Cherry Cobble 1″ Sheer Linen Ribbon, but in the interests of keeping things simple, I swapped the ribbon for a piece of Real Red cardstock. The Tree is stamping in Old Olive (the same colour as the card base), and then the Real Red dots are stamped over the top. Stampin’ Up! make this technique really easy with their photopolymer stamps, allowing you to see through the stamp to line it up with the image underneath. The star is stamped in Daffodil Delight, and punched out with the star from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack (oh, how much do I love those punches!)

 

 

We had great fun making these at my latest Stampin’ Party! If you live in Teesside, and what to make these, why not arrange a Stampin’ Party and we can make these together!
