TCTC#6 uisng PSC08. The Twisted Easel Card and Grateful Bunch

We made a Twisted Easel card at Saturday's class and I promised I would upload some instructions - It's good to have them in one place, So they'll be searchable here under Fancy Folds. I'm sure there's another edition on this blog from a little while ago.

 So I made another version and this time I used the very purple Colour Combination at The Colour Tree Challenge#6. I have to admit that I used Wisteria Wonder in place of Plum, which was a bit of a challenge for me but I dug through my bits and bobs and found an old brad and some ribbon, and all the DSP is from retired packs but that's enough purple in my box!

And again I am using the Pocket Sketch Challenge 
As I mentioned last time, Julie provides all the measurements ready to go which makes this super fast and easy. I haven't altered the dimensions this time as I don't think it matters that the Australian  metric card base is slightly narrower than the US imperial (ours is 5-1/2 x 8-1/4)
  • 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Pool Party cardstock
  • 4" x 2-3/4" Bermuda Bay cardstock
  • 1" x 2" Whisper White cardstock 
  • 1-3/8" x 2" Polka Dot Designer Paper
  • 1-5/8" x 2-1/2" Crushed Curry Designer Paper
(the paper description refers to Julie's sample on her blog)





The Scoring template for the twisted fold. It will work whatever the dimensions of your base card. You just need to make the card front the same size as the back - or slightly smaller. The position of the anchor will determine how high your card sits.

And after actually cutting out the pieces for PSC06 which are smaller than you think, I found it easier to visualise with a measurements template so I created both a metric and an imperial version. 



Hope this helps, and I hope you have a go and create some too.

thanks for looking, 

Liz

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...
