I love the bright, spring feel of this card. It features Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party, these colours are retiring at the end of April. I will miss them. This week on my blog I am featuring all the retiring in-colours as a final goodbye.

This double z-fold card is easy to make. I’ve adjusted the measurements slightly so it is slightly smaller than a standard A6 card. This makes the scoring easier. The card below features the third retiring colour, Orchid Oasis.

I love bags and boxes that fold flat for easy storage. This is a rectangular box of quite a good size. It took me a while to figure out the measurements to make it from one sheet of A4 cardstock. I’m pleased with the way it turned out. We made this in April Craft & Chat and it was a hit.

Monochrome Magic: A Panda-Themed Hand-Stamped Card – Wild & Sweet. Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I have this simple card to share with you today. The whole image is just one stamp. It’s stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black. My idea was for the finished card to look like a pencil sketch, hence no colouring.

The black and white theme makes a striking card. The image pops from the background. I used the Deckled Rectangle dies which have a torn edge effect. This works with the pencil sketch theme of the card.

measurements

  • Basic Black Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Zoo Crew designer series paper – 14.35cm X 10cm

This cute little box opens just like a pizza box. It is super easy to make and a great size. The one above is made using Misty Moonlight cardstock and the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper (DSP).

I’ve made another in Basic Black using the Zoo Crew DSP. I love the contrast between the black card and the white paper. So Striking! Which colour way do you like best?

This bag is surprisingly easy to make. It is a hexagonal bag with a reinforced base. I use a 4″ wide hexagon pattern to make the base and then folded the tabs around it. The above version uses the Zoo Crew designer series paper (DSP). I love the contrast of the black and white, so effective.

I did do another combo which uses the Countryside Inn DSP. Which do you like best?

This bag is a tall version. I made a small version, which you can see below. This would be perfect to hold small stationary pieces such as paper clips and pins.

The paper used here is Zoo Crew. On one side it has lots of little critters but on the other side of the paper are all these fabulous black and white designs. They are perfect for card backgrounds.

I’ve used the countryside corners dies to create this fun tuck spot with a little tag for a secret message.
