I learned a new fancy fold during this month's team meeting. The card base front is folded back and trimmed a bit. Then a piece of coordinating cardstock is adhered to the flap and a piece of designer series paper is glued to the other side of the flap to create the front of the card.
This is the bottom view of the card showing the fold, the Soft Suede cardstock and the Ornate Garden Designer Series paper. A really quick and neat fancy fold card.

Scrapbook layout created as an additional inspiration project for our last Virtual Crop Kingston Crop using the Ornate Garden Suite. I was scrapbooking pictures from my Washington, DC trip when I was in Grade 9 (not going to figure out how long ago that was). Our next Virtual Crop will be on Saturday June 6th! Contact me to sign up.

Have you tried the Stamparatus yet? It makes stamping a breeze and you can do some neat techniques with it as well. The mountains on this card were stamped using the hinge technique (make sure to watch the video below to see how I did it!). You can also stamp twice in the exactly the same spot.

This card was created during my Facebook live recently. The video is below if you missed watching it. Join me next week at 7pm for my next live!

Earlier this week I hosted an online workshop and used the retiring Come Sail Away Memories and More card pack to create some projects. While I had the supplies out I created this card. The Come Sail Away Memories & More card pack is perfect for creating a monochromatic card.

To create this card I cut out the sailboat image and the anchor image piece using the Rectangle Stitched dies. The sailboat card was layered onto a piece of Night of Navy card stock and popped up onto Dimensionals. Behind the sailboat is a 3"x4" lighthouse card that was cut into two pieces to extend the card to make it look like a longer piece. The sailboat card covers the gap. The Balmy Blue strip of card stock measures 3.875"x4.25" and the bottom was trimmed with one of the larger Rectangle Stitched dies. The card base is a 4.25"x8.5" piece of Seaside Spray card stock. One of the Sail Away Trinkets and a sentiment stick from the Memories & More card pack finishes off the card.

The Peaceful Poppies Elements are retiring at the beginning of June. They are pre-cut elements that you can colour or leave as they are! There are multiple sheets in the pack. Some black embossed pieces such as the scalloped piece I used as a trim in my card, poppies & leaves embossed onto Vellum and also onto water colour paper. For this card I used an Aqua Painter with Rich Razzleberry and Poppy Parade inks to water colour wash one of the pieces. Then after it was dried I placed one of the vellum poppies on top. To finish off the flower I added a pearl to the center. If you would like to order the Peaceful Poppies Elements I recommend ordering them soon as they might sell out fast.
