How To Create A Simple Fun Fold Card
Hello and welcome to the March Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop. For this month we are all about Fun Folds. Who doesn't love a fun fold card, whether it be a simple fun fold or a more elaborate double easel card, they are all simply great fun. I have opted to a simple fun fold, a Z fold card. This can be used for any occasion and has added appeal. Following my theme over on social media, I have used the Just My Type stamp set. I have paired it with the Countryside Inn DSP (Designer Series Paper),...
Creating a Beautiful 3D Floral Plaque for Home Decor
Hello and welcome to the March Tech 4 Stampers blog hop. This month we are all about flowers and with Spring being just around the corner, what could be better. I wanted to create a Floral Plaque as a gift for a friend. We all have lots of floral stamps, papers and dies, that we use regularly for our cardmaking, scrapbooking, but have you ever thought about using them to create a 3D Floral Plaque? This can be a beautiful addition to your own home or used as a fabulous gift for a friend or...
Accordion Mini Album using the Bee Mine Suite
Hello. On my Facebook live, 15.02.24, I shared my Accordion Mini Album with you. I did say I would blog the measurements and photos, sorry it has taken me a while to do this. But here it is. The base pages for the album are a Cal Summers design and I have added pockets and flaps, plus the decoration as I desired. I just can't get enough of the Bee Mine Suite and have used a pack of DSP (designer series paper) already. The bright and bold images are great fun and are perfect for so many...
Creating a Floral Card for a Colour Challenge
Hello and welcome to February's Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop. For this month's theme we have a colour challenge. I do enjoy a colour challenge, sometimes it really makes you think creatively. Stampin' Up!'s full range of coordinating products makes this challenge perfect. Having the cardstock, ink, papers, blends and more, in the matching colours makes creating with a select few colours easier. I had to choose the Darling Details Bundle to pair with these colours. For me they just fit right...
How to Create a Sampler Box Frame using the Bee Mine Suite
HI, I just can't get enough of the Bee Mine Suite and have used a pack of DSP (designer series paper) already. The bright and bold images are great fun and are great for so many occasions. The suite includes a stamp set and punch bundle, 12 x 12 DSP, ribbon, embellishments, and some really cute square pillow boxes. I have been sharing loads of projects over on my Facebook page and Instagram this week and yesterday I shared a sampler box frame. I thought I would share how I did this on here....
Using Vellum on a Double Gate Fold Card for T4S Blog Hop
Hello and welcome to Februarys Tech 4 Stampers blog hop. This month's theme is Vellum, there are so many ways that you can use vellum in card making. In the past I have used to soften a background, which may have been a bit overpowering, to provide a separation between background and focal image. I have also used it with Stampin' Blends and Alcohol to create a background. I am sure you can think of many more. Today's card uses vellum as part of my main image. I have created a double gate fold...
