Allsorts Challenge ~ Rain

The optional theme for the Allsorts Challenge this week is 'Rain'.

My DT card is a Bay Window card.  The image and sentiment are stamps from the Inkylicious set, 'Dancing in the Rain', stamped with Versafine 'Onyx Black'.  The patterned paper is from a paper pad which came as a cover gift with a magazine quite a few years ago.  I added some tiny blue gems for raindrops and tiny white pearls down the panel on the left.

The finished card measures 5" x 7" and folds flat for posting.

Hexagonal 3D Card

A Hexagonal 3D Card.  I followed the instructions for the fold on the Nifty Noodles Crafting Facebook page.

I used a Memory Box 'Fuchsia Sprig' die, cutting it out three times with snippets of green and two shades of pink, with the flower head layered with the different colours.   The ovals are Memory Box 'Stitched Oval Layers' dies.  I used snippets of patterned paper from a paper pad from The Works.  The pad was 12" x 12", so there are always lots of snippets to use up after I've cut into a full sheet.

There is a plain white panel on the back to write a message.  The card folds flat for posting.

Allsorts Challenge ~ Perfect Pastels (Spring Colours)

The Allsorts Challenge this week has the theme 'Perfect Pastels (Spring colours)' or you can go with the Anything Goes Option.

For my DT card I made a Three Panel Card.  I followed Lesley Kilby's instructions HERE.  The front panel is embossed with a Lisa Horton's 'Padded Quilt' embossing folder.  The flower is made with Lisa Horton dies and the patterned papers are from a paper pad from The Range.

The back panel has a piece of white card for the message and I added another die cut flower for added interest.  The card folds flat for posting.

50th Birthday Card

A Folding Book Fold birthday card for a friend who is celebrating her fiftieth birthday tomorrow.  This is the second card I've made using this fold, after watching a video on the Nifty Noodles Crafting Facebook page.  My first card is HERE.

The patterned paper is from a paper pad  which came as the cover gift with a craft magazine a few years ago.  I used a Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' for the two front panels.  The flower is a Memory Box 'Prim Poppy' die cut.  I cut it first in green and then in red, snipping of the red flower heads and layering over the green ones.  I used dies from The Works for the numbers.

I entered the first Floating Book Fold Card into the March Memory Box Challenge and somehow missed that I should have used red as a feature element on the card, so I'll be joining in the challenge again with this card.

I am joining in the following challenges:

Memory Box Challenge #93 ~ Floral Favourites (remembering this time that 'red' needs to be the feature element. 😉)

The Flower Challenge #78 ~ Die Cuts or Stencils
