I am so excited to be apart of Kylies Winning Team this Month and be able to present another card to you all. I thought as we only have one more month with this amazing paper we shall use the Fine art Floral Paper to create a quick easy fun fold card.




There is not much too it, if you want to change up from your usual standard card but have been scared to this is a great card to start with. 

Step1. Cut your card stock into the usual 14.9cm (half an A4) But this time we are going to trim a little off the long side. We are going to cut long side to 18.5 leaving this approx inch window you can see. 

Step 2. We want to cut the extra piece for the closing flap. you can make this what ever size you want But just remember to add one centimetre to the side you are gluing down. My card is cut to 9cm x 10cm so it makes this square effect. You can score it at cm to make it easy to fold and glue but up against the edging of the card. Make sure you do this in the middle you don't want a lob sided card. 



Step 3. The insert: We want to cut this in Basic White measuring 14.4cm x 10cm and glue this down evenly leaving a slight gap all the way around the edge. this will cover the flap we have just glued down. If you want some extra flare on your car you could stamp a little down the edge that you can see from the front, but be sure to do so before you glue down. 

Step 4: Decorating the Front. now you can decorate the front like you would a normal card, just remember that anything on dimensional or your focal point items are going to be featured on the flap as that will be on top, and underneath will most likely feature your DSP. Have fun with it and show us what you made.

Excited to join in another month of International Blog Hop. I had to think outside my box with this card. Its not my usual style but I had a lot of fun testing my boundaries, thinking outside the box. VOTE FOR ME!

Nothing says Thankyou then a little sweet treat! Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set is the hero in this card so we wanted to make the strawberries pop by using Basic White as the base. To give it more texture we used the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder & raised it with dimensional on Basic White Cardstock.


The layered stamps are a great feature as you can use the same coloured in and still get dimension in a picture. You are also able to experiment with multi colours, yet I stuck with Real Red as I felt it gave the look I was after this time around. The great thing with this set is it comes in a bundle with the punch allowing you to have these perfect Strawberries with stems, leaves and flowers to match.  


The great thing with Stampin' Up Products is you can use them all to match and create a story. I was able to use the vines in Garden green and colour leaves and flowers using the blends to give a great background base for the bright fresh strawberries. By curling the corners of the flowers you can create more 3D look to your card and give it even more pop. 


The great thing with this set is you can make it your own. I have put a slim border of real read cardstock to frame the picture, yet you could add any colour, and design and as many or as few strawberries as you want. 


So who are you saying Thank you too this month?
