Fun Fold This or That

For our team Craft'n'Chat last month, we made a fun fold (as we have been for a number of months now), which I then made an alternate of straight away.

Which colour combination is your favourite? I've already sold the "THAT" card, so I may have to make another!

They both use paper from the Delightfully Eclectic 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper pack which has a huge 48 sheets of double sided paper!

The first is a Night of Navy card base with some Burlap Ribbon (from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack). The flower image is cut from a piece of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP with some Night of Navy cardstock pieces which have been die cut using the Stylish Shapes dies.

The second has a Cajan Craze card base and uses a "Belly Band" of cardstock instead of ribbon, and I've "flipped" or reversed some of the paper for contrast. The Happy Birthday is from the Biggest Wish stamp set. The Sentiment is stamped on a piece of Basic White cardstock diecut with the Scalloped Contours Dies.

The inside of the cards can be decorated as much (or as little) as you like!

What do you think? Would you like to give this card a go?

Leave a comment (or email me) to let me know.

Shaker card fun!

I've had a bit of time away from my craft table over Christmas/New Year and School/Summer holiday...

But last week I had to get back to it as our first (virtual) team meeting for the year approached!

At each of our team meetings - which are actually called team Craft & Chats (because, that's what we do!) myself and one of my team members demonstrates a technique for everyone to try.

This month, we were showing simple Faux Shaker Cards.

It's not a new idea, but something not everyone has seen (or tried). We actually took the ideas and samples straight from fellow US demonstrator Patty Bennett.

It's a simple card using a clear envelope for the "shaker" part of the card.

Here is my sample (again, copied from Patty Bennett)

These are super simple, and so much fun! 

It also got me inspired to use the new Brilliant Rainbow dies to make a more traditional shaker card, and a simplified version of a sample in the current Mini Catalogue.

This card also features the Sale-a-Bration Simply Marbleous DSP. It is also one of the cards you could have made yourself this month if you purchased my Cards to Go kit.

I did use some retired sequins (Woven Threads Sequin Assortment), as they just matched so nicely. However, you can use any sequins or shaker embellishments you have. Click on the photo above to find a list of products used.

Get shaking!

Celebrating team members

My team member and friend Pauline Bennetts recently had couple of new team members join her. So, the least I could do was send her a card to celebrate!

I CASEd this one from the current Annual Catalogue. The project in the catalogue actually used one of the Ombre Gift Bags, but I chose to make it a card instead.

I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
