Inked Botanicals Diagonal Z-fold card; with a free printable project sheet!

August 29, 2023

Each month at my local Card Clubs we make at least one fun fold card. Here's the pretty card we made in August:

It's called a Diagonal Z-fold card. You might think it looks a bit intimidating but it's really not. I shared how to make it in a recent video seen here. Plus I have a free project sheet for you as well! Download Diagonal Z-fold card

I textured the Lost Lagoon layer with either the 3D Basics folders or the Painted Texture 3D folder.

Save

My colors include Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and White with a bit of Vellum added with the die-cut leaf (Gorgeously Made dies). The other sprig and leaf are from the Bough punch (temporarily out of stock).

Below is the template I made. You start out with an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. Make a mark at 3" down from the upper right and 3" up from the lower left. Cut in half on the diagonal.

Save

Then place the flat side of the card stock on your paper trimmer or scoring board and score at 4 1/4" and 8". That's it!

To create the diagonal layers for each area you start with full rectangles like a normal card and cut off the upper portion at an angle. Measurements are given in the project sheet above.

I've used the Inked & Tiled stamp set a lot; I love the images and the greetings fit in the Double Oval punch perfectly!

The designer paper is the Inked Botanicals seen here.

Bunny Punch Art; a Pillow Box treat

March 26, 2020

I made this project on this week's Facebook Live. Join me at 11 am each Tuesday here.

I have seen a few of these cute punch art bunnies and wanted to make some!

Save

I'll be sending one of these to my 6 year old granddaughter; who loves animals and chocolate.

It's just two punches to create one; the Medium Daisy and Balloon Bouquet punches. I used Crumb Cake and Blushing Bride card stock. The pom pom 'tail' totally makes it a bunny! These pom poms are from the Birthday Bonanza suite but sadly they are currently unavailable; they're out of stock. I hope they get more in soon.

That fun swirled die-cut circle is from the Painted Label dies on page 26 of the mini catalog. They are also currently unavailable but hopefully they'll be back soon. The Poppies products have been very popular!

Save

These pillow boxes are in our annual catalog on page 172. See them here.

Inside the pillow box I added 6 chocolate nugget candies that are wrapped with our cute gingham designer paper. I've been featuring this paper a lot lately. We have it in every color; that's 50 colors! It's part of a 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper on page 168 of the annual catalog. Or see it here.

Reflection Technique with Mountain Air

March 25, 2020
I honestly didn't know I'd enjoy creating with the Mountain Air bundle as much as I do. I didn't think it would be so easy to work with!

Even this reflection technique is simple to create. Do you know why? Because of the reversible nature of these stamps. The mountain image is textured on one side, creating the pretty mountain peaks on this card. The mountain shadow/reflection on the water is made with the same stamp but using the solid side.

Save

This card is part of my free written projects tutorial for anyone who placed an online order from me in March. And it's also free to anyone who orders the Mountain Air bundle too! You can see this bundle here.

If you order it in March you can get a free Sale-a-Bration choice! Below I show each stamp in three ways. First is the detailed side of the stamp, next is the flat side and lastly you see them together. Reversible stamps are so neat and Stampin' Up! is super clever to create them!

Save

Details for the card above:
1. I stamped the mountains first, then the trees underneath.
2. I turned the trees stamp upside down and without reinking, stamped them again for a reflection.
3. Next the mountain reflection.
4. Lastly I sponged a bit of light blue on the sky and darker blue for water.
5. The greetings are from the Well Written dies and Well Said stamp set.
6. Colors are Mossy Meadow, Pacific Point and Smoky Slate

Well Dressed; a great manly stamp set!

March 24, 2020

How are you all doing? Staying home and safe; if you can? I know some people have to work and those of us who are not really appreciate you! I feel for you! It's a scary world out there right now. Hopefully a little craft therapy will help you stay in a positive state of mind. It's a unique situation that we've never dealt with before. We're just not used to being restricted!

Here's a cute card perfect for the men in our lives. It's made with the new Well Dressed stamp set seen here in the 2nd release of Sale-a-Bration products.

Save

I believe it's Smoky Slate with Basic Gray and a pop of Crushed Curry and Pool Party. The images are all stamped on die-cut Stitched Rectangles. Behind those is a piece of Neutrals designer paper. I've been featuring this paper the last few days since I know many people haven't noticed it in our annual catalog. We have patterns in every single color we carry in 6 X 6" packs!

You can see them all here.
