Welcome to my blog. Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope that you will find some inspiration for your projects as I have from many lovely people. This is just a little space for me to share some of my cards, scrap book pages and maybe even some of my embroidery and quilting projects.
Welcome to week 36 of our Colour Creations Blog hop.
I have been making a series of Baby Cards using the Cutest Onsies Bundle and I made them in September last year but I made them in 3 different colours so I could bring them to you over time with our Colour Creations Blog hop. One was Fresh Freesia, one Lemon Lolly and today Moody Mauve.
I created this card for our dear friend as her she was having her first baby and this was for the Baby Shower! By the time I made this card we had found out that she was having a baby girl! This card is an extension to a card I made last year which was called a Double Door Pop Up Card and you can find it here if you want to have a look at it.
For this card I have used Moody Mauve as the base of the card and layered with Soft Sea Foam, Gold Foil and the DSP is Wildly Flowering. I have used the White Diagonal Trim to tie the card together as it needs a little help with all the extra pop up as you will see.
There are a layer of Basic White cut out with the Spotlight on nature dies then another circle cut out with the spotlight on nature dies so I could adhere the White Bakers twine in between for a little clothes line. I have stamped and the Cutest Onsie on the Country Lace DSP and a piece of Petal Pink Pink card before die cutting them out with the Cutest Onsie Dies. I then embossed one with the Eyelet Embossing folder! The sentiment is stamped in Moody Mauve and I have used a die from the Something Fancy Dies to cut out the sentiment. See those cute clouds they are from the Adventurous Sky dies!
Now let's open the card!
As you can see it open's up and then keeps going! Again I have layered the inside with the same as the front but the door I have used Nature's Sweetness SDSP and Meandering Meadows DSP as the background of the pop up doors.
To decorate the inside of the card I have used the Petal Pink and and Soft sea Foam. I have used the Alphabet Al A Mode dies and the Cutest onsie Dies. The for the hearts the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Dies and Embossing Folder.
On the other door I have the same colouring and added Girl!
In the center after I completed the card I added another piece of Basic White to write my message to the expectant Mum!
The card is lots of fun to open. As you can see from this angle!
And from this angle as you are opening the card.
Here is a video of the card opening!

Thank you for spending some crafty time with me today, take care,
Welcome back after our Christmas and New Year break, I do hope that you had a wonderful time with your family and friends. Christmas time is always my favourite time of year and to add to the excitement my husband and I got married on the 28th of Dec, my birthday is the 29th and his birthday is the 30th so we just party for a week, then we need to sleep for about 3 I think as we are getting too old to party that hard! LOL!
Anyway back to the matter at hand and this week we are looking at the lovely muted blue of Misty Moonlight!
For my design this week I have cased a very simple design that I saw on Pinterest with the idea that I could make many of these for a welcome back card for my craft group at church for the beginning of February with the plan to send them out the week before to the whole group! I thought this design would be easy to replicate quickly. Then of course I added things to spice it up for the blog hop today!
For this card I have used the gorgeous Spotlight on Nature Bundle which has become one of my favourite bundles to use from the Annual Catalogue.
This card has a base of Misty Moonlight and then layered with Crumb Cake and Basic White which has been dry embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. the Misty Moonlight strip is the reverse side of the Wildly Flowering DSP that you see that has been placed on top of it with the Crumb Cake background with Misty Moonlight and Moody Mauve flowers. Around this layer I have tied the Silver and White Sheer Ribbon that I have coloured with the Dark Mistly Moonlight Stampin' Blends pen. The focal point is created by die cutting 2 circles one in Misty Moonlight and one in Basic White and then I have used Crumb Cake to stamp on the Basic White before fussy cutting the Butterfly which has been coloured using the Misty Moonlight and Moody Mauve Stampin Blends and a touch of Wink of Stella. The Pearls were also coloured with the stampin blends.
