A Christmas card today, following instructions for the fold on the Creative Minds - Kind Hearts blog HERE. I think the original creator of this fold was Iced Images and you can see her video HERE.
After making all the scorelines and folds in the white card I used a 5" x 5" snippet of red card and a 4½" x 4½" snippet of patterned paper to decorate it. The patterned paper was from an old 8" x 8" paper pad which came as a magazine cover gift many years ago. The sentiment is a SU stamp, stamped with Versafine 'Satin Red' and die cut into a circle with a Memory Box 'Stitched Circle Layers' die. I used a Memory Box 'Stitched Scallop Circle' die cut for the mat using another red snippet. To finish my card, I added tiny yellow pearls around scalloped edge.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
Two more cards today, made with a new preloved die I bought recently.
The die is a Creative Expressions 'Bluebell Fairy Edger' used with navy blue card. I added three clear flower gems and a sentiment, so a quick card to make.
Two give this card a different look, used the die with black card and added snippets of pale blue card in behind the die cut apertures in the black card. It was a bit tricky making sure that the pale blue card didn't go over the edge of the black die cut, but I like the effect of the finished result. To finish my card I added three tiny blue gems and a sentiment.
I am joining in the following challenges with these cards:

ReplyDeleteBlogger's in a good mood this morning, your no 31! But I did find your other comment yesterday.....in the span folder along with a few more, I've not had that problem for ages so seems we go full circle.

Glad Blogger is letting you comment today Brenda, although this comment you’ve just left was in my spam folder. No idea why all the comments you leave me go straight to spam. 🤔 xx
DeleteGreat snippets card and the fold looks almost like a Christmas tree. The die used on the other cards was a lucky find
ReplyDeletePS - just checked the spam folder and your latest comment was in there, oddly enough comments from Brenda usually come in as spam too. Not a serious problem as long as I remember to check - irritating nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteI love your snippets card Liz and the shape of it, I also love the two cards made with your preloved die too.

That's a corker of a shaped card that you've entered into the Snippets Playground Liz. Got to say I've never seen that shape before, so it's another of your masterpieces that I'll have to have a go at. Thanks for the link.

This is a fabulous fold Liz and the papers and topper with that great sentiment work together brilliantly, and the second and third using that beautiful edger die are so pretty, and I particularly love the added pale blue card behind the apertures. x
