Double Front Card using Delicate Dahlias

I love new products, and I love a Fancy Fold. I have made the Double Front Card several times and you can find the instructions on this blog under the Fancy Folds tab at the top of this page. Today I have used new colours, new DSP from the Harvest Meadow pack - and a new Stampset

The First Card Front has the small flower line art image from Delicate Dahlias embossed in white with some sponging over the top. The tiny leaves and sentiment are also from this set but the tiny blue flowers are from Perfect Symmetry.


The Second Card Front is a lovely surprise when you open the first card front.  There is another stamped panel the same size as the front panel and I have used the other small flower image from Delicate Dahlias on this page.
The Sunshine sentiment is currently my favourite sentiment and is from the Celebrate with Flowers set- sometimes it's just one stamp from a set that will convince me to add it to my order, but when I  can use that stamp for many different styles of cards it is good value.

 


When you open the second card front there is the inside panel for your message. I got carried away with stamping and some strip work to decorate the inside - well when you have so much gorgeous DSP to use it's easy to keep going. This is a great design to use up some of your DSP stash - it is treasure, but it needs to be shared!
Again I was able to combine the Delicate Dahlias and the In Symmetry stampset.


Sale a Bration is the  current special running for August and September and the DELICATE DAHLIAS stampset is one of the items you can select free with a qualifying sale. It's a beautiful set and I can recommend it. Let me know if I can help you with an order.
This new Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper has gorgeous tones and several pages that are fairly neutral backgrounds, It will be very easy to use. I love the script on the Soft Succulent page which I have used in this card.

check out the great items available in Sale a Bration this time around.

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...
