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.

Giving Thanks

Hello again,

I have a cute and bright card to share with you today on this dark gloomy day in Lincoln. I love bright colours in the middle of winter as they remind me of sunshine and summer.

This card uses the Bee Thankful stamp set and yes it is all one stamp. The measurements are:

Standard A6 Thick Whisper White Cardbase

Pumpkin Pie Matt 10cm x 14.35cm

Whisper White 8cm x 10cm

The card is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love these as they make shading a doddle. I love colouring in, I find it so relaxing. I can just sit and let my worries float away as I colour in.

I adore the sentiment on this card as I have many things to be thankful for and I like to remind myself how lucky I really am.

I hope you like the card and thank you for taking the time to stop by.

Until next time, Enjoy Being Creative!!!

New Year New Start

Hello,

I am sorry I’ve been AWOL for so long, unfortunately my health hasn’t been at its best but hopefully I am on the right road now.

I have a cute birthday card to share with you today that I actually made a few months ago but never got to publish the video. It’s using the Playful Pals stamp set which I absolutely love. I have used the image of the otter but you could quite easily one of the other cute little critters as well. This set is perfect for colouring and I have used the stampin blends alcohol markers to colour my image. They would equally as good using the watercolour pencils as well.

I am going to try and post videos now three times a week on my YouTube channel so please subscribe.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope that you all had an amazing Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

Enjoy Being Creative!!!
