Sprinkles of Life Card Class

Just a quick post to show you another of the cards we made at the class on the weekend. We played with some shaving cream marbling - a fun technique I haven't really used much. It made some gorgeous background papers for the frosting on the cupcakes.

I am surprised at how much I am able to do with this set as I play with it more - in fact I only realised the other day that it has a flower shape incorporated in the punch!

The simple fold card is an adaptation of Julie Davison's design which has been around for ages. I modified the measurements for Australia to be 10.5 wide - so you get 2 cards from one A4 piece of cardstock. (Australian width is only 81/4 not 81/2).

I don't trim the length until after I have scored and folded - and then only shave off enough from the large flap for it to fold flat. I score at 7.4cm and 18.5 cm ( there are some odd measurements on the metric scoring plate but they are useful).

The panels for both the front and inside flaps are then 10cm wide x 10.5 long.
The rest is made the same as Julie's card.

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set. I really love the sentiments in this set. It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518) I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember, "don't just post online, post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car
