GateFold Card – Magnolia Lane

I have a gatefold card to share with you today using the ever lovely Magnolia Lane designer series paper (DSP). Generally speaking, I’m not a fan of fancy folds with lots of frills and trims. I prefer to play with colour and texture. I gave it go and I’m quite pleased with the way it turned out.

I love the Magnolia Lane DSP. Currently, I’m making a paper bag mini album using this paper and have nearly finished my first packet so am off to order more shortly.

measurements

Mossy Meadow cardstock – A5 – (A5 is just an A4 sheet cut in half on the long side) – Score at 5.25cm on each side – I just used my trimmer to score it.
Magnolia Lane DSP – 10cm x 14.35cm
Whisper White cardstock – 10cm x 14.35cm

I’ve used the coordinating stamp set Good Morning Magnolia to stamp some flowers and foliage on the inside of this gatefold card. These stamps lend themselves beautifully to being coloured in with the Stampin Blends. I really enjoyed this part of the card as I adore colouring in.

I’m not sure I will do another gatefold card as I found it difficult to decorate and I don’t feel it’s my style. Do you have a particular style? Let me know in the comments.

As always there is video tutorial below with the accompanying supply list.

Butterflies and Birthday Wishes Card Tutorial

I have a sweet and simple birthday card featuring butterflies and the Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Butterflies and Birthday wishes card using the Bird Ballard paper from Stampin' Up! — Butterflies and Birthday wishes card using the Bird Ballard paper from Stampin’ Up!

This card features two things I love, butterflies and flowers. I love walking through the garden and seeing the butterflies flitting about from flower to flower. They are so delicate and beautiful and yet so strong. Seeing a butterfly makes my heart sing and puts a smile on my face.

I like the simplicity and yet the bright vibrancy of this card. The background DSP is quite busy and I felt the sentiment got lost it so I popped it up on the band of daffodil delight card.

Heat Embossed Birthday Card – Magnolia Lane

This heat embossed birthday card uses the Magnolia Lane products from Stampin’ Up! This is a very simple card that has an extra wow added through the heat embossing.

The Magnolia Lane designer series paper (DSP) is so beautiful that I didn’t want to cover it up with stamping and embellishments. I therefore create this simple but elegant card.

Heat Embossed Happy Birthday card made with supplies from Stampin' Up! — Happy Birthday card made with supplies from Stampin’ Up!

As I have said previously I love magnolias as like the blossom they herald the start of spring for me. We have quite a few magnolia trees near us here in Lincoln and they are a joy to me each year. In fact, nature has such a calming influence over me when I am anxious, unwell or just plain down in the dumps. The magic of every new flower is breathtaking.

I love the heat embossing on this card. Sometimes I think we forget what a great technique heat embossing is. I certainly won’t forget the first time I heat embossed something and the magic at watching the dull powder turn bright and shining.

Measurements

Mossy Meadow A6 card base
Magnolia Lane DSP – 14.35cm x 10cm
Vellum – 10cm x 4cm

This sentiment is heat embossed using white and therefore stand out nicely from the darker background. The heat to trick to heat embossing on vellum is get your heat tool good and hot before you bring into the vellum. This way it will melt the powder quickly with little warping to the paper. If there is any warping, just heat it from the bottom and it should even out.

Below is a video for this card with the supply list below.

Here are some links to some other projects made using this gorgeous DSP.

I, therefore, want to thank you for dropping by and until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!

Daisy Daisy, give me your answer

This Daisy birthday card reminders me of the old song we used to sing as children. The card uses both the large Daisy punch as well as the Daisy Lane stamp set.

Daisy Lane Birthday Card, made using supplies from Stampin' Up!

I love daisies, as Meg Ryan said in You’ve Got Mail, “They’re so friendly”. My Granny always had a beautiful big yellow daisy bush in her garden back in South Africa. I have many pictures it and of me standing in front of it. Daisies therefore hold a special place in my heart as they remind me of my Granny. We couldn’t find a yellow Marguerite in the UK for years but we have one now which is starting to flower this year.

This card uses a plethora of techniques including, emboss resist, inking and punching. I enjoy mixing things up and seeing what happens.

Bold and Bright colours are my thing and this card ticks both those boxes for me. I have used the Mango Melody, So Saffron and Daffodil Delight inks to make a blended background.

The stamp set is a new set called Daisy Lane which is companion set to the Daisy Delight set that carried over. They both coordinate with the large and medium Daisy punch. If you already have the one set then this is a great addition to your stash.

Memorable Mosaic Sunken Birthday Card

The Memorable Mosaic Designer Series Paper (DSP) is used to make this cute and easy birthday card with a sunken sentiment.

he Memorable Mosaic Designer Series Paper (DSP) is being used to make this cute and easy birthday card with a sunken sentiment. — Birthday card using the Memorable Mosaic Suite of products from Stampin’ Up!

Another completed another project using the Memorable Mosaic Suite of products. I love the ease and versatility of this paper. You can fussy cut it or just use it as it is for projects.

I have always loved Roman history and actually took Latin up to GCSE. I find this paper is reminiscent of a Roman mosaic. The inspiration for this card was actually the Roman baths which you step down into such as the Roman baths in Bath.

I have termed this card a sunken card. I have popped up the outer frame on two layers of foam tape, the next frame in on one layer and then the sentiment is flush with the card base.

other projects using this paper

There are a few other projects I made using this suite of products. These include a bag with a magnetic closure and another card with two birds kissing. Which project do you prefer? Leave me a comment below and let me know. Personally, I feel this is my favourite as I love the vibrant colours of the terracotta tile and crushed curry in the bird.

As always I have done a video on YouTube and the supply list is below.

Bird Ballard designer series of paper used to make this birthday card using supplies from Stampin' Up! — Bird Ballard designer series of paper used to make this birthday card

I have always been lucky to live in tree lined streets and areas with lots of hedges and vegetation. We moved to Lincoln 3 years ago from London. In London, I loved only a street away from the busy North Circular road and yet the number of birds we had was amazing due to all the hedges. There were often magpies, black birds, crows as well as lots of little robbins on the grass verges or making a cacophony of noise in the trees.

A Sweet Treat Tin

Hello,

We have been lucky in Lincoln, all the snow from the last few weeks missed us. We had a light dusting but nothing like last year. I am very pleased as was in no mood to be snowed in again. Life has been busy has usual. I’ve been busy sorting out my car. She is now serviced and road tax and insurance paid. I am so pleased with my insurance as I’ve managed to save about £500 on it compared to last year.

I have a cute project to share with you today. I find these little metal tins online and thought they would make a lovely treat tin. They are big enough to hold a good amount of skittles or smarties.

The gingham gala paper measures 5.5cm x 4cm. I do love this set of designer series paper (DSP) It is a lovely mixture of pastel colours and makes me think of spring and all it’s joys.

The ribbon was from Sale-a-bration but is sady sold out now. You could use a number of other ribbons from the annual catalogue or dye a whisper white ribbon with a reinker. Let me know if you what to know how and I will make a video.

Thank you for stopping by and please hop over to my YouTube account and subscribe to keep up to date with my videos.

Until next time, Enjoy Being Creative!!
