CI#185 Easter Blessings with a Circle Pop Up Fold and One for the Books

Happy Easter - can't believe that it's here already this year! 
I do love a fancy fold so this is a fun card.
Sadly, the "For the Books" Stampset and dies are retiring but I will be keeping them in my stash. How cute are the little tassels?
You can still purchase these and there are loads of other retiring specials available.


The Rainbow and teensy flowers are from the Thoughtful Moments dies, and perfect for my card.


Welcome back for another challenge at Colour INKspiration.  How cute is this week's colour Inspo pic?

And a special welcome to Gail Ellis who was selected from a previous challenge to be our guest designer. Her project is stunning so do check it out.

Check out the Facebook group for some more inspiration using these delightful colours. And don't forget to share a picture of what you create using them. We just love to see how many different designs can be created using the same colours, it's so interesting.

I have created pop up cards like this in the past, but this is a slightly different method which I saw on You tube. 

Dimensions / instructions for this card:
  • card base 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4
  • DSP for card front 4 x 5 1/4 - apply adhesive only around the edges and then die cut circle from centre cutting through both layers, set aside
  • Cardstock for box / pop up support 51/4 x 61/2, score along long side at 1 1/4, 2 1/2, 3 3/4, crease to form box mechanism
  • adhere first face of box to inside of card front being careful where the adhesive goes. Then fold up box mechanism to flat and apply adhesive to the largest panel, close card over and adhere.
  • DSP for box mechanism 5 1/4 x 2 1/2 fold in half lengthwise, adhere to box section, Second piece same size to adhere down over inside, strip 1/2" x 5 1/4 for decorative edge
  • stamp and decorate embellishment for front circle and adhere
  • DSP for back panel for writing 5 1/4 x 4
  • whisper white panel 5 x 3 3/4
The only tricky part is where to apply the glue under the front feature circle - you don't want it to get stuck to the moving parts.


The top view gives a clearer idea of how this one works.


And of course you need somewhere to write your message. I've decorated a panel for the back of the card. Again, the tiny elements are from the dies for Thoughtful Moments.



It might be easier to watch the YOutube video by Trevis here.

And here's a little clip of mine opening up.

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 

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

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used. Product List Pretty Perennials Photopolymer Stamp Set [ 154435 ] $31.00 Pretty Perennials Bundle [ 156234 ] $78.25 Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [ 155225 ] $0.00 Roco...

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project  or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...
