Pop up Frame Card with Wildflower Birthday for Card Class June 2025

What a wonderful time we had at class yesterday. Lots of fancy folds. This one was the trickiest but everyone created a beautiful card. We just took it step by step.

You can cut the cardstock from one sheet of A4 cardstock. There are a number of steps to add the DSP. Then you cut a large and small circle to create the frames.

We all put a little posy of flowers in the centre of the frame. It's such a lovely surprise when you open the card up.


The belly band holds the card closed. You don't want this to be too tight.
The gorgeous Wildflower Birthday Paper is so easy to use for these cards, and the press out elements make it easy to decorate.

The boldest DSP is best at the back of the frames. This side view shows you the middle and front frames.







This is the original video. 
It is in German, but you can see the process and create along with Ingrid Hafner


and this is Ingrid's link to the cutting diagram.

I hope you give this a try, it's a very versatile card. Ingrid also has a link to a landscape version as well but I haven't tried that one yet!

I will post more details and photos of the rest of the cards from class over the next few days.


I hope you have a creative week and remember, 

"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz

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.

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...
