fun fold

Hello there. It’s been a busy few days, so I am here with a card created for the new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. Caz is hosting, and she has chosen the theme of:

An Easel Card

Here is my card:

The main floral bouquet was created using another of the Pinkfresh Studio washi from their ‘Celebrate in Blooms’ suite. I stuck the washi onto white card then used the matching die to cut them out.

The easel crad was created, and I used some blush card stock for the background, and also for the inside of the car, run through with a Spellbinders embossing folder.

These panels were then glued down, and the main bouquet was added on top of a white oval die cut – also from Pinkfresh Studio.

For the ‘stopper’ on the easel card. I gold heat embossed the Pinkfresh Studio sentiment, die cut it, layered a couple more times, then stuck that down.

For the inside panel, I also used some of the washi.

I hope you can come and join us with your creations following our theme. xx

Hello everyone. I have had a short break with hubby – travelling around Italy with a short stop in Switzerland. Hubby drove and we covered 1000kms in four days, through several mountain passes and lots and lots of hair-pin bends – they look like amazing zig-zags on the maps we followed.

Now back and hopefully crafting more, though I must my mojo seems to be having a longer break than me.

Here is the card I made for the new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. Sue J is hosting, and she has chosen the theme of ‘Fun Fold’.

The design team has been a little more adventurous with their fun folds than me, but I actually enjoyed the process of creating this card.

I chose the gatefold layout, using patterned paper with a woodgrain effect as a backdrop to the vibrant flowers I was going to add.

The middle panel was another piece of paper from the same collection, the bamboo trellis is from Spellbinders, which I cut and assembled twice so I could make it a little longer.

The flowers and leaves are also from Spellbinders, using a few of their floral sets, assembling and arranging to cover the join in the trellis, and just generally whatever suited my eye.

The panel was then attached to the left side of the gate-fold card, and the foiled sentiment added – a bold black strip with gold foiling to make it stand out. Gems were added to the centre of the flowers – and a few around and about.
