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.

I love the new in-colour, Orchid Oasis. It’s beautiful!! This card was created using second and first-generation stamping. It creates this lovely tonal variation in colour in the background. The hydrangea is heat embossed in white embossing powder so that it pops from the background.

Do you like lemon in your tea? I actually don’t but I do love lemons. I put lemon juice on lots of things and use it as a substitute for vinegar quite often.

These lemons in the tea boutique paper are so cute and I just had to use them. It is so summery and vibrant.

I made this cute little box in two colour ways. Above is Orchid Oasis and below is Rich Razzleberry. Which do you prefer? We made the Rich Razzleberry one in a recent card club. I host a monthly virtual card club in my Facebook Group each month.

This box holds four tealights and opens like a pizza box. It is super easy to make. I used the gorgeous Wonderful World designer series paper that I got as a freebie during Sale-a-bration. During Sale-a-bration you can choose a free item for each qualifying order.

I was so happy with how this card turned out. The Wonderful World Designer Series Paper (DSP) was quite busy but it actually works well with this panel on the front. The stamp set and paper are a freebie bundle available during Sale-a-bration this year. The stamp set matches the florals in the paper. I love how Stampin’ Up! matches colours and images. It makes cardmaking so easy.

This turned out so cute. We actually first made this in the online card club that I host in my Facebook Group. You find all the details here if you want to join in. It has a velcro closure though you could of course add a magnet closure instead. I would advise you to make a template as I’ve done below before you make the box as it really helps to make sure you don’t make a mistake.
