BEAUTIFUL GALLERY FUN FOLD

 I am so in love with this fun fold & have decided that this will be my next class in June !

I cased an organised  swap I received from Rainy Stevens . Rainy used 12 x 12 card stock for her gorgeous card but since SU do not carry the card stock weight 12 x 12 any more , only the white core which I felt may not give enough  stability for my card , I worked out the measurements using half of a full A 4 sheet of Card stock . Just cut it in half down the middle @ 10.5 CM , then place a tick mark @ 4 CM & cut diagonally from this mark to the edge of the opposite side .

The hardest part about designing this card was choosing which colours I wanted to use ! As you can see , you need a few different colours which also coordinate with your choice of DSP .

MAY CLASS CARDS PULL APART POP UP

 Hi everyone ,

Last Saturday , 3 rd May , we created theses gorgeous cards ! The 1 st card uses the retiring Citrus Blooms bundle & coordinating DSP . The card fold  was one I saw on You Tube  by Annette Elias & she has a tutorial ( in both French & English ) & video  in French  - this is one reason why I decided to film a video , I was easily able to follow Annette but I am aware that others may find it challenging . The other reason was that when class was all but over one of my ladies up  ended her full cup of coffee all over all of her beautiful cards she had just finished creating ! I fully understand how annoying this can be so decided to make up two of the cards we had created , I already had a spare of the citrus card because this was my card for an organised swap at On Stage .

If you would like further information about these cards please reach out . This card is called a Pull-Apart-Pop Up .



This is the other version I designed using Perennial Lavender DSP which has carried over & because the flowers look very similar to the flowers in the Beautiful Gallery bundle .



Our 3 rd card uses the dies from Gallery Blooms along with a piece of DSP from a pack of Splendid Autumn DSP , also carried over & which also reminded me of the same flower ! It's a very simple card which is quite lovely !



If you'd like to see my process my video is available to watch on You Tube now .
