Z-fold card featuring Wonderful Romance Bundle from Stampin Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I feature the beautiful Wonderful Romance Bundle with a lovely z-fold card in Petal Pink. To make this card cut a piece of Petal Pink cardstock 11 5/8" x 6". Score at 3 7/8" and 7 3/4" along the long edge. Mark one 6" edge at 3 1/2" and cut from the opposite top corner to this mark to create angle. See diagram below: Using a lead pencil draw a light line 1 5/8" from angle. This will be your guide for die cutting the decorative edge. Using the guide line run the leaf edge die thru your Bigshot, starting at narrow edge. Carefully align the beginning of the die with the end of the previous cut to avoid doubling up. Remove the small cut outs. Card should look like this. Cut 3 pieces of matching paper measuring 3 3/4" wide and as high as the highest point of each of the three panels of your card. Here my three panels are 2 5/8" x 3 3/4", 3 1/2" x 3 3/4" and 4 1/4&quo

Shadow Box Card featuring the Climbing Orchid Stamp Set and Orchid Builder Thinlits

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I take a break from SaleABration to feature favourites from the 2018/19 Annual Catalogue, the Climbing Orchid and Colourful Seasons Stamp Sets and matching dies. The frame of a shadow box card showcases these blooms beautifully, making this deceptively easy card an extra special offering. The 3D nature of this card makes standard envelopes difficult. I have therefore created a small box for this card following the instructions in my previous Exploding Box blog. To make this card you need to cut: Whisper White cardstock 9 inches x 5 3/4 inches, scored along the long edge at 4 inches, 4 1/2 inches and 8 1/2 inches Whisper White cardstock 5 inches x 5 3/4 inches, scored along the shorter edge at 1/2 inch and 4 1/2 inches with a rectangular panel measuring approx. 3 inches x 4 3/4 inches removed from the centre, Whisper White cardstock 5 1/2 inches x 3 3/4 inches On scraps of Whisper White, So Saffron and Mossy Meadow cardstock s
