Perfect Pennants and Banners Framelits Dies (Part 2)

As promised, here is part 2 of my post on Perfect Pennants and Banners Framelits Dies. 

If you missed Part 1, click HERE to view it.

Today's card is a clean and simple one (it's OK to make those once in a while, isn't it?)

I decided to go with the star stamp, and the two border-type stamps from the Perfect Pennants set. I stamped these in Coastal Cabana, and Melon Mambo ink pads. These two colours are bright and cheerful, and go so well together, don't you think?

The other two stars were die-cut using the star die from the Circle Card Thinlits Die.

All these stars required a wish - wishing upon a star, and all that? Hence the "Make a Wish" saying stamperd on the banner, which I die cut using the Banners Framelits Dies - no fussy cutting here!

I embossed both the coloured banner and the smaller stars with Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, which is on offer this week!

The Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine (tied into a bow) added a bit more texture and movement, and I was happy with the end result. 

What do you think?

If you'd like to recreate this card, or make your own using the supplies I mentioned, feel free to contact me, and I'd be more than happy to assist you with your order.

Thanks for reading.

Until next time... happy crafting! x

New Project - Card in a Box!

Hello!


Yesterday I had great fun creating this project called 'Card in a Box' for one of the lovely ladies who faithfully attends my monthly classes at Formby Library.

It's got a Holy Communion theme (as you can see from the back of the card), but you can make them for just about any celebration or special occasion.



Another name for this card is a 'Pop-up Card', or 'Explosion Card'!





I had seen these beauties all over the internet, and thought I'd give them a go myself - they're not as hard as they look! My version is a bit smaller than the ones you might see on Pinterest
or YouTube, but I like it, as it can easily fit into a 6"x4" small envelope.

It also folds flat, so quite inexpensive to post.

I used two Stampin'Up! bundles for this card: Petite Petals and Flower Shop. The leaves were punched out with the Bird Builder Punch. Butterflies are from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set, and matching punches (Bitty Butterfly and Elegant Butterfly).

The cardstock and designer papers are from my stash.

The colours chosen are Bermuda Bay, Tempting Turquoise, Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush, Old Olive, and Pink Passion (retired).

So what do you think?

If you fancy making your own 'card in a box', I'm happy to send you instructions on how to go about it.

So go on, let you imagination take flight, and see what you can come up with today! I'd love to see YOUR creations!

P.S. Here's another 'card in a box', which my home class are making this Tuesday! :-)
