Arched Balloon Z Fold card - Card Chain swap for Mandy

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Mandy and the CASES of her card. I encourage you to start the blog hop the beginning and follow along to see the progression of her card through the group. Its so interesting to see the development!

I was 2nd in the chain for this round and have created a Z fold card with the Arch dies. I love how versatile dies can be, such as turning it on its side for a totally new look.

Lets take a closer look at this card.

Repeat stamping is a great way to fill a space, so I stamped HELLO 3 times in different colours to tie in  the colour combiation from the DSP forward. 

The balloons are stamped on the white panel and again on DSP then fussy cut, this illusion is golden and can be used in so many ways.

The Z fold is a great fun way to dress up any card front

For the inside I kept the arch theme going and just another balloon to bring it altpgether.

I'm loving the colour palette of this DSP - Everyday Skies

Daisy Wreath for Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

 Welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is to use a Non Christmas product to make a Christmas project. Lets see if my project passes the chistmassy test!

I have created a daisy wreath, what do you think? 

I've used a combination of stamps from Natural Botanicals, Peace on Earth and the masking technique to make this card. Plus I strongly believe the colours Ive chosen make it oh so chrismassy - Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and Summer Splash

Here's the challenge picture - such a cute horse

Lets take a closer look at this card

I took inspiration from my recent Bunnings purchase, this beautiful Daisy plant

I started out by marking a circle on a square sheet of Basic White cardstock, this is what I used to stamp the daisies on, x5 times in full colour Cherry Cobbler, and inbetween stamped off once in Cherry Cobbler. 

Heres the final result - I added some colour with Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin Blend markers

I made my project into a Gate Fun Fold with a Belly Band, such a fun way to elevate a card

The daisy and leaf images from this stamp set were the perfect size to create a wreath with.

Beautiful Gallery Gate Fold Centre Pop Out - Card Chain Swap for Julia

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Julia and the CASES of her card. I encourage you to start the blog hop at JULIA's blog and follow along to see the progression of her card through the group. Its so interesting to see the development!

I was 4th in the chain for this round and have created this super cool fun fold, using Beautiful Gallery DSP as the main hero of my card.

Lets take a closer look at this card.

There is just one stamped image and its the sentiment, taken from Beautiful Butterflies.

All the panels are framed by an Early Espresso frame - this rich brown is really growing on me. 

To remake this card start you will need the following:

CARD BASE: 20.4x14.9cm // 8"x 5-7/8"

EARLY ESPRESSO PANELS: (x7) 4.9x14.5cm // 2"x 5-5/8' & (x1) 6.7x10.5cm // 2-3/4"x4-1/4"

DSP PANELS: (x6) 4.5x14.1cm // 1-7/8"x5-1/2"& (x1) 6.3x10.1cm //2-1/2"x4"

BASIC WHITE: (x1) 4.5x14.1cm // 1-7/8"x5-1/2"

Heres how I cut the DSP to get a continuous picture ...

You choose how many writing panels you want 1 or 2?

The pop out panel is adhered using 2 small strips of cardstock, ive tucked mine behind the dsp panel so you cant see them.
