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,

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

#Onstage Sydney 2022 Fancy Flora Suite , Display Stamping # 1 beginner, casual, avid samples

I'm so honoured to have been asked to present the premier suite "Fancy Flora" from the new Mini Catalogue - what a treat. ( Available January 5 - May 12023 ). This is one of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. It's a long one so grab a cuppa and enjoy my tips and tricks and first projects. Relieved the presentation is over and with my samples on the board! Firstly I had the pleasure of showing the suite- 2 stampsets, 2 sets of dies, some 6x6 DSP, Shimmer Card, Ribbon and Gems. With every new set I allow myself plenty of time to just play with it and explore the possibilities in colour and layout. In doing this I create a series of Mood boards that make it much faster when I come to use the product to quickly identify how many dies in each set, how many stamps and which ones match the dies, and which ribbons and bling I have in my stash- or in the current catalogues that match the colours of the new suite. That way I don't for
