Fun Fold Driday - Joyful Flurry

My fun fold this week is one that I was recently asked to make for a class. This is a version of the one that is for the class but for now I have made a Bay Window fold card with the Joyful Flurry stamp set. I started with a White card base 29.7cm by 105cm and scored it in half at 14.85cm. Basically half a sheet of A4 cut in half lengthwise. Once scored in half, I scored from the outside edge at 0.8cm, 5.3cm, 9.6cm and 13.9cm. I know they are silly measurements but it just works out that way. I added tear and Tape adhesive tape on the narrow scored edge in the centre and gave the card a 'book fold'. I have used the lovely soft green of Soft Succulent card for the mats of 4 x 10cm, and the Designer Series Paper is from the Santa's Express papers at 3.6 by 9.6cm. it leaves just a tiny border around the paper. 

Using some of the White Glimmer paper again, I die cut some of the various snowflakes from the Frosted Flurry dies and added a few basic Rhinestones to add a little more sparkle. The band on the inside right of the card was adhered using Dimensionals so that the small lip on the front, slides under it to make the Bay Window.

 

Thank you for stopping by this week.

 

Cary will be back with her stunning creations on Monday. 

Please join her to see what she makes. 

I will be back the week after as always so until I return, 

Please take care, stay safe but most of all...

 

😍😍 KEEP ON CRAFTING. 😍😍

Technique Tuesday - Cottage Rose

Today's card is one that I've never attempted before and don't know why because I really enjoyed making it. Using the Cottage Rose stamp set I stamped the sentiment for a Happy Birthday. I then took hold of the most amazing, stunning papers that coordinate with the stamp set. They are called Abigail Rose. They are in some of the colours that I would rarely or even if at all use, they are Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Petal Pink and Very Vanilla. Yes, I do use the Basic Black and Petal Pink but definitely not Crumb Cake! Cary loves it and I must admit that the cards she makes are stunning but I just can't get my head around it! Stupid really, aren't I? 

I started by choosing a piece of DSP and started to fussy cut it out. Now if you saw yesterday's post, I mentioned that I have carpal in my right hand. I had steroid injections in it a week ago which I am hoping will help. Only time will tell! I had to ask my asking my grand-daughter, Bella for help. She very kindly and sweetly, fussy cut lots of the paper images out for me. She's absolutely great, I love her to bits!  Once it was cut out, I added lots of Dimensionals to the back and placed it onto a piece of Basic Black card. It was at this point I decided to chop it up!  Just into 4 pieces and spread them out across the card. It was that simple. Here are the gorgeous Abigail Rose papers that I fell in love with.
