USING NEW PAPERS !

 Hello everyone . This afternoon I used some new papers coming next week as well as some from the mini & annual catalogues . I cased the front cover of the mini catalogue to come up with these samples . The papers i used are Pretty Prints , Naturally Gilded ( coming next week as an online exclusive ) & Dry Brushed Metallic .

I have used the Beautiful Shapes dies & my sentiment comes from Very Best Occasions .

SALEABRATION - ENDING SOON BLOG HOP

 There are only10 days remaining for you to grab your favourite free items with a qualifying Sale a Bration order . What is SAB ? During this period you can earn free product when you purchase ! How cool is that !

These are my projects I've created for this ESAD hop & I'd like to thank Nicole for organising it & inviting me to take part .

My first card is a Multi Diamond panel card & you can find directions by Sam Calcott on You Tube .

I have used the hostess DSP found on page 90 of the mini catalogue . It's just $32 when your order or workshop qualifies . it's a monster pack of 48 sheets , 4 of each 12 x 12 sheet . At first I was not keen on this paper but oh how that changed once I began using it ! 

This card uses one of my favourite sheets of the paper . It's a 6 "x 6 " card size & is really easy to create when you want something a bit different for that special person or occasion in your life . I've paired it with Parakeet Party & Basic White . The squares are adhered to a piece of window sheet which is 6 " x 6 1/2 " scored @ 6 " on the 6 1/2 " side . The window sheet rests on a piece of Parakeet Party which has been embossed with the Timeworn Type folder . The green squares were embossed sing the Twigs & Sprigs folder . For my decorations I used the Framed Florets bundle of projects & coloured the flowers using Polished Pink blends. This card has a stopper to prevent it from opening & having the backs of the squares visible .

My next card uses the stunning Favoured Flowers DSP which is a free item with a $90 order during SAB . You could purchase the co ordinating Fragrant Flowers bundle, $94 which would earn you the paper free !

I have simply cut my standard sized card base & folded it back on itself , adhered the gorgeous Dry Brushed Metallic DSP to the side I folded back , cut my flowers from the DSP & my leaves are cut from the Brushed Metallic Foil from the AC . The Petal Pink layer is also from the free paper pack !

 

The next card uses the gorgeous stamp set , Beautifully Happy which is also a SAB freebie with a $180 order .

This is a lattice card , also really easy & you can find directions for this one in my previous post here .

The leaves are from the Ranunculus Romance set from the AC . This stamp set is so pretty & so versatile . It is a 2 step stamp set so you can use it as such or you can choose to colours it with your blends or water colour pencils . You may choose to watercolour too .

The last card is super fast & easy using this same stamp set . I have simply stamped in Memento Black ink & sponged using my blending brushed & Polished Pink ink . My bold sentiment is from the Fragrant Flowers set & I have thrown some of the Black Gingham ribbon underneath it , then I added my Rhinestone Basic jewels to the flower centres . I jazzed up the inside a little using some Perfectly Pencilled DSP from the AC . You can shop from any catalogue to earn your freebies so long as the total qualifies before postage is added.

 . I hope I have inspired you to go to your craft space & create something wonderful .

ututI cut off 6 cm from my top folded card 10.5 cm x A4 length , then cut the "cut off " piece into 1 cm wide strips . You can watch my video for further instructions .

DIAMOND FOLD POP UP CARD

 Hello stamping friends . In tonight' s Facebook Live video I demonstrated a diamond fold pop up card I saw on Mixed Up Craft's You Tube channel .

Begin with a piece of card stock measuring 6 " x 12 " , scored @ 3" & 6 " on the 12 " side . 

On the 6" square which doesn't have any score lines place a tick mark @ the 3 " mark on all sides . 

Place in trimmer & score diagonally from the 3 " score line to the bottom right tick mark . Repeat scoring from the bottom left this time to the top right .

Please watch the video for further clarification .
