Fun Fold Z Card

Fun Fold Z Card

I decided to make a Fun Fold Z Card. They are super easy to do and fun to make!

Directions and Sizes:

I started with a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Soft Succulent Card Stock. Score on the long side at 2 1/8" x 4 1/4". The 2 1/8" section will fold back to create the Z.

I then cut a piece of Evening Evergreen C/S to 4" x 5 1/4" and embossed it using the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder. Attach this panel onto the left side folded back piece only using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Cut a piece of Basic Black C/S to 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" and a piece of Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper to 2 1/2" x 4". Attach the DSP to the Basic Black panel. Attach to the card front using Dimensionals. 

Punch out a Very Vanilla C/S tag using the Elegant Tag Punch. Stamp a sentiment using the Elegantly Said Stamp Set and Evening Evergreen Ink. Attach the tag to the card front at an angle using Dimensionals.

Add a Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon bow, a Bumblebee Trinket and some 2021-2023 In Color Jewels.

Happy Stamping and Creating,

Make Your Own Designer Series Paper

 Make Your Own Designer Series Paper

It is very easy to make your own DSP. Pick a stamp, ink it up and stamp repeatedly onto your card stock. Make sure to fill it in as much as possible without too much overlapping. If you have open spaces use a smaller image to fill it in.

I made this card today to show you how easy it is to make DSP and for the challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches.

My card base is the Memories And More Hand-Penned Cards and Envelopes. 

These card bases come already cut and scored complete with matching envelopes! They match with the beautiful Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper on page 131 of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. 

I cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 2 3/4" x 6 1/4" and repeatedly stamped the floral image from the Elegantly Said Stamp Set using Memento Black Ink.  I then splattered this panel with Wink Of Stella for a nice sparkle! Adhere this panel to a 3" x 6 1/4" piece of Basic Black C/S. Adhere to the card front using Dimensionals. 

Die cut a floral sprig and a butterfly from the Meadow Dies using Black Glitter Paper. **This Glitter paper is making a return in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalogue!!**

Attach the floral sprig to the card front using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

On a scrap piece of Basic White C/S stamp a sentiment using Memento Black Ink. Attach the sentiment to a layer of Black Glitter Paper that is just slightly larger. Attach to the card using Dimensionals. Attach the butterfly to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. 

Using the ready made card bases and matching envelopes makes card making quick and easy. I hope you liked todays card! 

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Canada Ink's Up Blog Hop

 Canada Ink's Up Blog Hop

Welcome to our second Blog Hop!!

My card today is a sneak peek of some new products that Stampin' Up! will be releasing in their new 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue on May 4!

Isn't that "Polished Pink Card Stock" gorgeous!! It's a new 2021-2023 In-Color. 

The stamp set I used is "Elegantly Said". I stamped the flourish using "Polished Pink Ink" two times onto the card base. I then stamped the flower two times onto the Basic White panel using VersaMark then I heat embossed it using Black Embossing Powder.

Then I stamped the sentiment using Polished Pink Ink and heat embossed it using Clear Embossing Powder. Our Classic Ink Pads are wet enough that you can heat emboss with them! 

I finished off the card with a "Simply Elegant Trim" bow and a super cute "Bumblebee Trinket".

Check out all the other Blog Hop participants!!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Spring Floral Card

 Spring Floral Card For Freshly Made Sketches Challenge

I missed out on the last few sketch challenges at Freshly Made Sketches, I didn't want to miss out this week!! 

I used a few "Sneak Peek" items from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. Can you spot them?

The new catalogue launches on May 4th, 2021!!

The stamp set is "Elegantly Said" and the Card Stock is "Fresh Freesia", one of the new 2021-2023 In-Colours. I also used the "Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends". 

I started with a card base of Thick Basic White Card Stock, 8 1/2" x 7" and scored at 4 1/4".

Cut a piece of True Love Designer Series Paper to 3 3/4" x 6 1/2" and attached it to the card base.

Cut a piece of Fresh Freesia C/S to 5 3/4" x 3". Stamp the flower from "Elegantly Said" using Fresh Freesia Ink repeatedly onto the panel. Attach to the DSP layer.

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 5 1/4" x 2 1/2". Emboss using the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. Wrap some Purple Posy Playing With Patterns Ribbon around the bottom of the panel. I attached it to the back with some tape. Attach this panel to the Fresh Freesia panel.

Cut 2 pieces of Fresh Freesia C/S to 2 1/4" x 1/4" and attach 1 above the ribbon and 1 below the ribbon.

Cut a 1/4 X 6 1/2" strip of True Love DSP and attach it to the left hand side.

Fussy (hand) cut a flower bouquet from the True Love DSP and colour using Stampin' Blends. Sprinkle with some Wink Of Stella. I also added a few white dots inside the flower centers using my White Stampin' Chalk Marker. Attach to the card front using Dimensionals.

Add a bow using the Purple Posy Ribbon, attach with a Glue Dot.

Die cut a small detailed butterfly using Basic White C/S and the Brilliant Wings Dies. Attach using a Glue Dot.
