Fancy Fold Card - Stampin' Up Baroque & Papillon Potpourri...

Hello

Today's card is a fancy fold, using a green card base and a white card base trimmed slightly smaller and adhered to the inside to form a tri-fold card. Using an embossing folder/die combo to create the front of the card has created a window to see through to the second fold of the card. 

I used the negative from the front panel as a mask to sponge the second layer, making sure the window matched exactly to the position of the mask before sponging.

Following up with a stamped image from Stampin' Up's Baroque stamp set.

The butterflies are also from a Stampin' Up set - Papillon Potpourri.

The edge punch on the white layer is from Stampin' Up.

I have also faux stitched the border with a black pen and added rhinestones for finishing touches. I have left the card without a message so it can be used for any purpose.

Hope you are having a crafty day!

Hello

Two cards for you today, using beautiful papers from Die Cuts With a View. The first is a tri-fold, where I have used the pattern in the paper to create the edge of the top fold. Following along this fold for the orange layer and white base card. The Happy Birthday is a Kaszazz Ezy-press Die named Happy Birthday...

Using a flower cut from the paper and a strip/panel of the same paper and orange card create the next  two card layers.

The next card is an easel card.

Happy Birthday die is an Elizabeth Craft Designs Die also named Happy Birthday.

Strip of Rhinestones and a layer of glossy accents on the wording to finish off.

Die Cuts With a View have many, many beautiful paper pads.

Don't you agree?

Free as a Bird - Stampin'up

Good morning

For these card, I have used the stamps and papers from Free as a Bird set, and the stitched label dies from Stampin'up

This card has multiple layers of card and papers.

The  celebrate die is from Karen Burniston.

Tiny pearls were added to flower centres, and glitter glue to the celebrate.

The birds and flower stem were fussy cut and added to the top layer.

The birds were stamped on to white card and coloured with inks. This panel was then added to a white card base.

Yellow card had a label die cut into it, and was then embossed in a dot folder.

This panel was then layered over the stamped card. Stamped, coloured and fussy cut flowers and leaves were added and a die cut and and coloured xoxo added. Gems were added and glitter glue to the flower centres.

Patterned paper was wrapped with bow tied twine and added to the card base.

The yellow negative label from the previous card was added, and a smaller white label stamped with the sentiment added on top.

The bird, leaves and flowers were stamped, coloured, cut out and added.

Gems and glitter glue were also applied.

Thanks for dropping by

The flowers have all been hand-cut from the paper using the same as the patterned layer. Adding the extra layer of card had really made the split panels pop! Finishing off with rhinestones and glossy accents on the wording.
