This is a fun spring Z Fold card. I’ve matted pattern on pattern. It works as the one pattern is very tonal and you only see a little of it. I’ve done this card a few times with different paper and embellishments. There is still a good space to write a message. There are quite a few measurements so I’ve listed them below.

Make a Full Card Shaker Card With Me – Focus Frid

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. For the month of April, we are looking at all things shaker cards. So are you ready to shake with me? Today we are looking at a full card shaker card. This is a great card to make as it “recycles” any pieces of plastic acetate packaging you have.

I love this card as you can see all the pretty paper in the background. I haven’t added too many shaker elements as this card has no dimension and you don’t want to hide the beautiful paper.

measurements

  • Fresh Freesia Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Pansy Patch – 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Strip of Basic White that is 2.5cm wide
  • Piece of acetate packaging that measures at least 16cm X 11cm – I used an old C6 size clear envelope

I absolutely adore this Pansy Petals paper. It is so pretty. As you know I’m a sucker for anything floral and so this is a match made in heaven. I’ve used this paper a number of times and wanted to give one more outing this week before it retires at the end of this month.

Using the Waves Die – Make an Ocean Scene Card – Sailing Home – Waves of Inspiration – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

This card is totally out of my comfort zone. I’m not generally a seaside type of person. I prefer to explore historical areas and learn about how people live. I’m really pleased with how this turned out. I love the waves dies. You can do so much with them. I plan to use them again with lots of different techniques.

As a teenager, I remember visiting the lighthouse at Cape Point with my Granny. My mother and Aunt climbed to the top and stayed downstairs as I was afraid of heights. This lighthouse reminds me of those special memories.

measurements

  • Thick Basic White Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Pacific Point Designer Series Paper – 14.35cm X 10cm

This is a really good size box and so sturdy. I love this “You’re a Peach” paper but found I haven’t used it for ages so I decided to rectify this. This has a matching card that will feature in the next blog post on Wednesday. This paper is so realistic I could almost smell the peaches in the room with me.

Tone on Tone Effect – How to Achieve it with Stencils – Happiest of Birthday – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up D

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. Today we are looking at using stencils to give a tone on tone effect on cards. You can see this effect in the picture above. It gives some added interest to the background of the card and helps makes the sentiment really pop. For extra interest, I have added a velum doily to the top and bottom of the sentiment. This is an extra layer of interest but you can still the background behind it.

  • Bermuda Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half

The In the Wild suite reminds me of the poem, The Tyger by William Blake. It’s a poem I’ve always loved. This suite is filled with big cats such as tigers and leopards. I’ve focused on the tiger to make this easel card. Just a point to note is that the dies do cut out some of the images in the paper. Great bonus!!

I have to say I love seeing windmills as you explore the countryside. I went to Amsterdam back in 2017 for Stampin’ Up! Onstage Live and have tons of photos I want to still scrapbook. I think this windmill will make a cute embellishment on a page.

We actually have a windmill here in North Lincoln that dates back to 1798. I love driving by it and want to visit it next time it is open to the public. Another great photo for a scrapbook page.
