Tiered Star Fun Fold Card

Who doesn't love a fun fold?  I am always on the hunt for new ideas and just found this design by Sam Calcutt!  This is a Tiered Star card and am featuring the Fluffiest Friends bundle from Stampin' Up! This is the first time I used the bear and am quite pleased how well my colouring turned out!

Fluffiest Friends

The base is Sweet Sorbet and the DSP is Bee Mine. This card uses a fair amount of cardstock but the end result is amazing!  The bear has been coloured with Stampin' Blends - neutrals and the honey pot is Pool Party to pick up on the colour in the DSP.

There isn't a lot of room for a message - I have added to white panels to the back of the card (not showing here) that are 1"W x 6 3/4"H - and will need to turn the card sideways in order to write my message. 

Here is a view from the top looking down. You can see where the card gets it's name from. Notice how the images and sentiment are popped out on cardstock springs?  


This card measures 7"H x 5" W and will press down flat to fit perfectly into an envelope.  My assumption is that this will require a bit extra postage if you wish to mail it. 

Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!

Hugs, Tracie

Swing & Sway Card Technique

I absolutely love interactive cards. Check out my latest one. It is a Swing & Sway card featuring Thoughtful Expressions and the beautiful Flowering Zinnias DSP.

For this card I dusted off my water colour pencils and glitzed the hummingbird up with Wink of Stella.



Easter Bonnet Rocker Card

So imagine my surprise when I realized that Easter is the last week of March this year! Only 2 weeks away and I hadn't made any Easter cards!  Now for some time I have been wanting to create a rocker card but it wasn't until I saw this technique demonstrated by Claire Ottaway that I finally made one!  It is the perfect card for Easter and I can't wait to send it out.  

Easter Bonnet Rocker Card
To make this fun rocker card you will need:
  • Deckled Circle Dies
  • Embossing folder - for the texture - Stippled is used here
  • Paper Florist Dies
  • Oval Punch
  • 2022 - 2024 Pearls
  • Ribbon - 3/8" Grosgrain used here

Have a happy Easter
