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

    What a stunning card, Lillybet. I love your twisted easel and the way you've used the colours in Bronwyn's challenge.

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car...

Funky Folds Blog Hop= a Bay window card using Country Flowers

Well it's been a very long time since I participated in a blog hop - and it feels good to be participating in a FUNKY FOLDS hop. You may have come from Jan McQueen's creation, or you may be starting here. Be sure and hop all the way around. I do love Fancy Fold cards and of course with a new catalogue and new products it is fun to be creating again. I have a big weekend retreat coming up in a few weeks and we are using the Country Flowers Stamp set so I am creating a swag of samples. Since time is such a precious commodity for all of us I am using some old favourite folds with new products - a whole new lease on life. For this week's hop I am revisiting the Bay Window Card. The front tri-panel piece bends forward and tucks in behind the little anchor which is fixed to the inside. Your card will stand up unaided. This is it with the edge tucked under the anchor. You can find the measurements and instructions and several previous samples on these pages. Today's card featu...

CTC#116 Inspired by Pages 20-31

Welcome back of another week of CTC. This week we are CASEing quite a big section of the catalogue-pages 20-31, which includes the Oh So Succulent suite. I love the succulent set but need a lot more time to play with it. (I'm sure you can all relate to that!) I also love little square notecards like the one on page 31, so I had a little play and this is what I came up with. This week I've done the step it up system again. This is a lot of fun and a process which can help you analyse your own style and how to adapt that for classes or workshops to appeal to a wider range of styles. This week I am stepping it up from simple stamping directly onto the notecard, then building on that with another colour, added layers and embellishments. Although the twine doesn't carry through from the base card it needed a little bit of black to tie them all together.
