Make Dies Your Focus – Simple Card – Focus Friday – Poppy Moments – Go to Greetings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

This is such an elegant card. I’ve used no colour only Basic Black, Basic Grey and Basic White. This post is a Focus Friday post. During the month of September, we have been focusing on dies every Friday. I’ve made dies the total focus of this card. The stamping is just for the simple sentiment.

These florals are actually the poppies from Poppy Moments. I’ve used these dies in many different ways and will link some of them below.

measurements

  • Thick Basic White Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Black & White Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 14.35cm X 10cm

I love this card. The contrast of the white, black and pink is gorgeous. It’s a straightforward card to make. The flowers are from the Hugs of Happiness Designer Series Paper (DSP). I cut them out using the matching dies. My fussy cutting would never be that good. LOL!

Below is the same card but made using Mango Melody as the cardbase as opposed to the above one which uses Melon Mambo. Which one do you like better?

The card front is divided into three parts which you can see below. The outer two flaps are joined using a strip of window sheet. It creates this one flap card.

How to Make a Perfect Hexagon-Shaped Box – Happy Forest Friends – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I’m so happy with how this turned out. The base is reinforced and it is so easy to put together. We made this in a recent card club and it was a blast. I host a monthly card club in my Facebook group. It’s a night of great crafting for all.

I knew I wanted my hexagon to have 2″ sides and went online to find a template for such a hexagon. I then printed it off and cut it. This template was used to make the base of the box. The template was for a 4″ wide hexagon and can be found here.

Measurements

  • Old Olive Cardstock 6 1/2″ X 5 3/4″ X 2 pieces. Scored
    • On the longer side at 2″, 4″ & 6″
    • On the shorter side at 2″, 4″ & 5 1/4″
  • Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper (DSP) 1 3/4″ X 1 3/4″ X 6 pieces.

This is a very simple card to make. The banner and sentiment pull the whole thing together. I’ve used different patterns for each panel but they are all from the same collection so they match very well. The little bit of white around the panels really makes everything pop.

I love this stamp set. Such cute dinky images. I’ve coloured this little girl with the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love them. Really simply colouring. I used artistic licence with the colour of the bird as I wanted the contrast in colours. The paper is from Hugs of Happiness. It’s a rainbow design and you can see the other half of it below.
