Fun Fold Friday - Adorable Owls

 For my last card this week using the Adorable Owls stamp set, obviously I have made another of my go to favourite folds. This is made with 1 half piece of A4 card. I folded the card base (14.85cm by 21cm) in half at 10.5cm. I lightly pencilled the centre point on the bottom edge of the card at 14.4cm. The at each side on the front edge, I marked every 3.5cm. I then scored from the centre mark on the bottom edge to the edges on the centre fold creating the first V. I then repeated the actions from the edges at every 3.5cm to the bottom and finished them all. The scored marks were all folded back and forth on each side creating the V shape you see. I placed some tear n tape to the back of some of the folds to keep them crisp.

I used some of the papers from Tea Boutique  6" by 6" papers to match with the lovely Fresh Freesia card base. I stamped the 3 owls and coloured them in using the Stampin' Blends pens and die cut the 'circle' from the Painted Labels set of dies. 

I finished off by adding sentiments once again from the Go To Greetings stamp set

Throwback Thursday - DSP - Tea Boutique DSP

 Today's card is very like the cards that Cary made on her live yesterday. She made 4 beautiful cards and I decided to follow her same design but just changed this one a little. I had some strips of paper left from other projects just as Cary had earlier yesterday. This time I have used the Tea Boutique designer series papers from Stampin' Up! I started by cutting the strips of paper to the correct size and added them to White mats. Trying to decide what colour to use was tricky. I knew I didn't want any more yellow or even a plain white card base but I ended up with one more that I rarely use surpringly. I chose the strong Garden Green for the card base and I'm pleased to see that it works well. I added a strip of the white crinkled ribbon threaded around the centre panel, knotted and stretched across the outer two panels. A few simple sentiments and a few more lemons on the inside to complete it.

 

Make It simple Monday #simplestamping - Cup Of Tea

Hello and thank you for stopping by today. I have just received my new stamps from the new catalogue so I thought that I would show you some cards made with some of them. Using the Cup of Tea stamp set and the matching Designer Series Papers DSP, or double sided papers called Tea Boutique, I have made this very simple card. 

The first piece of DSP from the pack caught my eye. A simple sentiment or 2 later and it's done. How much simpler could that be?
