Stampin' Up - Fancy Fold Cards Blog Hop with the Art with Heart team

Hello Lovely Friends,

Welcome to another Art with Heart Team blog hop where we are focusing on fancy folds. You will find loads of creative inspiration tonight, showcasing different folding techniques and projects. Don't be afraid of trying some Fancy Fold cards; they may look intimidating, but in fact, they are not that difficult to create.

I wanted to try and pick a fancy fold that maybe the other Art with Heart Team may not pick so I did a little bit of searching to see if I could find something that I hadn’t seen for a while around the blogging world. I found a nice simple card that anyone can try and you can make lots of these if you need to for a special project like Christmas cards or as teacher gifts. I think it is always nice to give teachers practical gifts that they can use and a set of cards that they can use throughout the year is fabulous.

  

Well here it is The Double Front Fancy Fold Card. It is very simple to make and I have used the gorgeous Tranquil Tulip stamp set paired with Special Celebrations to make this stunning card. My Grandma loved the dark black tulips and this reminds me of her. 

I know you can't tell by this photos, you are saying she has gone mad it just looks like an ordinary card so here are all the different photos of the card so you can see the different fold.

This is a great card design to be able to write a lovely message to your friends as it gives you plenty of space to write.

 I have made a video giving step by step instructions on how to make this card

The Measurements/dimensions of the cards are as follows

Base Elegant Eggplant 15x14.8 cm
score at 10.5 cm
Inner Whisper White Card 19x13.5 cm
score at 9.5 cm

Cut 2 x Whisper white 7x11 cm
Cut 2 x Old Olive 7.5x11.5 cm

 The trick is to make sure you line up the Tulip card with the sentiment card before you adhere it to the front of the Elegant eggplant card.

Stampin' Up - Wood Texture DSP and a Real Red Kombi Van

Don’t you just love remembering the good old days? Well if you said yes, my card today is for you!

Hello and Welcome!

My Son is going to a 21^st Birthday Party tonight for one of his work mates and he came home with a present and asked me to make a card.

Well with a present like this I just had to make a card to match. His work mate drives a Kombi Van so this present and card are just perfect for him.

I am just loving the new Wood Textures DSP stack along with the new ¼” Copper Trim that Stampin’ Up has introduced in the 2017 annual catalogue.  I think I could use copper embossing powder, copper foil paper, copper trim, Oh you name anything copper and I have fallen in love with it and could use it on every card.

I have used the Special celebrations stamp set for the inside of the card. Normally I would put a sentiment on the front but not this time. This time I have put it on the inside of the card. (Now my Son had already written the card for his mate when I took the photo so I have coloured over where he wrote.)

The Special Celebrations Stamp Set is perfect for all your card needs, lovely sentiments for inside and out.

For more product information check out the list below.

PRODUCTS
Stamps	Special Celebrations
Card Stock and Papers	Early Espresso, Real Red, Very Vanilla, Whisper White, Wood Textures DSP, Copper Foil, Basic Grey, Smokey Slate.
Ink	Early Espresso, VersMark Pen
Acecessories / Embellishments	¼” Copper Trim, Copper Embossing Powder
Tools	Large Number Framelits, Cookie Cutter builder punch,  Stampin’ Mini Dimensionals,  Big Shot, Trimmer, Fast fuse, Paper snips, bone folder, Multipurpose Liquid glue,  Heat Tool, Embossing Buddy

Don’t forget to contact me for more information on how to make this card, on how to get your hands on the 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue and any of your Stampin’ Up goodies.

Hope you have a lovely day. Thank you for spending some time with me.

Stampin' Up - Favourite New Bundle

Today the Art with Heart Team girls are showing you their favourite bundles from the 2017 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. Bundles make creating a breeze, because of the perfect coordination. It's a bonus that you get 10% off by bundling the products together too. There are 24 bundles in the new catalogue so ask us about them, or for a catalogue today!

When I heard that the theme of our blog hop was favourite bundle I couldn’t wait until I could get my hands on the Climbing Orchid Bundle. Oh, how I love Orchids. I had orchids and frangipani in my wedding bouquet.

Didn’t my Mum do a fantastic job of my bouquet?

She even hand made the flowers for the top of my cake? The Cake tins we used for my cakes are the same tins that were used for my Grandparents wedding cake and my parents wedding cake. All of this is why I just had to have the Climbing Orchid Bundle.

Here is my card and I know it isn’t an orchid it is a frangipani!

  

I have cut out the petals of the fragipani with the largest 3 petal shape from the Orchid Builder Framelits and then cut them into individual petals to a slight point to where the centre of the flower will be. With my bone folder I have just rolled each petal to give it some curve. I have added the colour to the white frangipani with the water colour pencil, daffodil delight and pumpkin pie. All the petals are joined together with some Multi liquid Glue laying one on top of the other at the center point and working your way around.

To finish of the little bouquet I have used tranquil tide card stock stamped with the leaves from the climbing orchid stamp set and then cut out using the framelits, all placed on a lace doily with berry burst ribbon and layered on colour theory designer series paper.

The sentiment punched out with the Duet Banner Punch and inside text of the card are from the stamp set Special Celebrations.

Stampin' Up - Annual Catalogue Sneak Peek

 Hello Everyone,

Tonight, I am participating in a blog hop along with the super talented ladies in the Art With Heart Team. We thought it would be fun to share some fabulous ideas to inspire you from our brand new 2017-2018 annual catalogue, which is available 1st June.

Be sure to request your copy of the catalogue today!

I would like to show you 3 different projects using products from the Delightful Daisy Suite and how you can incorporate other stamps you may have into your creations.

In this first card, I have used the new Daisy punch to make the gorgeous white daisies. Punch out 2 daisies and layer, then stamp the centre with crushed curry. Curling up the petals on the flower really gives some dimension. The background paper is not your normal Designer series paper, for this I have used one of our new products for memory keeping called Memories and More. This card comes from the Memories and More Colour Theory Card Pack. You can use them for card making as well as memory keeping. So versatile! You are going to love them!

 I have stamped some daisy images in crushed curry on the background as well as whisper white card stock and fussy cut them out. Can you see the wink of Stella on these daisies and in the centre of the big daisies? The beautiful new Double Stitched Ribbon has crosses on 1 side and dashes on the other. 

The sentiment also has a corresponding text for the center of your cards from the new stamp set Special Celebrations and the sentiment is punched out using the new Pretty Label punch

PRODUCTS
Stamps	Daisy Delight, Special Celebrations
Card Stock and Papers	Whisper White, Tranquil Tide, Memories and more colour theory card pack.
Ink	Crushed Curry, Tranquil Tide
Accessories / Embellishments	Wink of Stella, Daffodil delight double stitched ribbon
Tools	Stampin’ Trimmer, Daisy Punch, Pretty Label Punch, fast fuse, dimensionals,

This second card uses the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper.  I used it for a male birthday card. I think the beautiful tones in the paper work perfectly for a male card, Who says daisies are just for girls?! It is so great that our DSP has patterns on both sides, there is so much to choose from in just one packet. Again I have used the Happy Birthday stamp from the new stamp set Special Celebrations and the matching sentiment on the inside of the card. Check out the product list below for the other products I used on this card.

PRODUCTS
Stamps	Special Celebrations
Card Stock and Papers	Tranquil Tide, Whisper White, Copper Foil
Ink	Tranquil Tide
Accessories / Embellishments	Copper Metalic thread
Tools	Stampin’ Trimmer, fast fuse, Big Shot, Hexagons TIEF, Fine tip glue pen. Large Number Framelits

For my third sneak peek for you at what is coming up in the new Annual Catalogue, I have a thank you card made with the products from the Delightful Daisy Suite. I have used the DSP down the side and the daisy stamp from the Daisy Delight stamp set I have made it into a gerbera. The thank you  from the Daisy Delight stamp set I have stamped in the new in-colour Fresh Fig. 

One of the great things about Stampin’ Up is the co-ordinating card stock and ink and I have used fresh fig card stock to co-ordinate with the ink I have used on the sentiment and tranquil tide card stock behind the gerbera to co-ordinate with the DSP down the side. Check out the product list to see what else I have used to create this card.

PRODUCTS
Stamps	Daisy Delight
Card Stock and Papers	Fresh Fig, Tranquil Tide, Daisy DSP, Whisper White
Ink	Fresh Fig
Accessories / Embellishments	Copper metallic Thread, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Wink of Stella
Tools	Petal Burst TIEF, Stampin’ Trimmer, Big Shot, fast fuse, Dimensionals, Window Box, thinlet dies. Layering circle framelits, stitched shapes framelits
