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 stamp
  • 5 small orchids, 1 large orchid and 2 buds in So Saffon ink (on white)
  • 3 small leaves in Mossy Meadow (on MM)
  • 5 small and 1 large orchid centre piece in So Saffron ink (on SS), stamp these with the stamen detail in Mossy Meadow ink.
Cut two branches from the Seasonal Layers Framelit set from Mossy Meadow cardstock using your BigShot.


If desired embossed the small white panel with your chosen folder. Here I use the Petal Burst folder and in the video I use the Basket Weave folder. Both are lovely. Assemble the inside feature panel by gluing down one of the branches and then adding three smaller orchids, the leaves and one bud.


Stamp the front of the card with the small flower spray from the Colourful Seasons Stamp Set in So Saffron ink (stamp off once).


Assemble front of card with remaining branch, one large and two small orchids and bud. Add desired sentiment in space at bottom right hand corner.


Glue decorated panel to inside of card, cheeking it's position thru the "window".


Glue the window panel in place testing that the card closes neatly before glue sets.


Finished. Well Done!

Reverse gate fold card featuring the Holly Jolly Christmas Bundle from Stampin Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I feature a reverse gate fold card using the adorable Holly Jolly Christmas Bundle and Night Before Christmas designer series paper. I like the reverse gate fold card as it highlights the central panel allowing the image to really pop out when on display. With normal orientation gate cards the central image is hidden behind the folds. The Holly Jolly Christmas Bundle is wonderful. Santa has so much personality and the other image match perfectly. See the link to my online store at the end of this blog to purchase this bundle and the other products featured in my blogs. To make this card you need cardstock and paper cut as follows:  Cherry Cobbler cardstock 11in x 4 1/8in. Scored at 2 3/4in, 4 1/8in. 6 7/8in and 8 1/4in Very Vanilla cardstock 3 7/8in square. Very Vanilla cardstock 2 layers at 3 7/8in x 2 1/2in Night Before Christmas DSP 3 5/8in square Santa's Workshop DSP 3 5/8in x 2 1/4in Cherry Cobbler cardstock circle 2 7/8in d...

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...
