This gorgeous pop up card was designed by Amanda Fowler and we made it at one of her recent classes. The dress form is perfect for this pop up design which is all cut out easily using the Big Shot. A touch of designer paper makes a beautiful dress and some silver glimmer paper a perfect mirror.
Here is a better look at the inside of the card and aso ofthe lovely two-tone ribbon used as a closure.
This new embossing folder is great, such a deep, crisp impression and so effective. I used it on this card which would be a great card for the men in our lives. The squares were punched from designer series paper and opposite corners rounded using another punch. The bottom right square has a greeting stamped on it and is then raised on 3d foam.
Another card form the Open sea set, this one took a little more time to create because of the shaped layers. The top two layers have been cut using the top note die in the Big Shot, we first cut in one direction and then turned it through 90 degrees which created the squarer shape. The bottom layers of First Edition designer paper and the chocolate chip layer, which has been stamped, have been cut using the framelit dies. However, only one end of the paper has been shaped which gives a great window shape.
Isn't this great? A handbag made from Speciality Designer Paper that holds 4 regular A6 cards inside it! Amanda Fowler showed us how to make these at our quarterly training event in May.
The bag is made from just one sheet of 12x12 paper which is scored and folded. The closure is made by adding another small piece of card. I stamped mine with the confetti stamp set and the handbag strap is a piece of Lucky limeade ruffled ribbon.
I'll show you the cards in more detail over the next few days.
This bow is made using a fork! I won't try to explain how but I am sure there are lot's of tutorials to be found on the internet, I guess you could use a bow maker too.
The ribbon nicely covers the edge of the designer paper and the bow sits on top. The flower is made from two Mixed bunch blooms, the top layer has had the individual petals cut to the centre which adds some 3D interest and a touch of bling in the centre from a rhinestone. The greeting is from the curly cute stamp set.
I think this is becoming one of my favourite colours to work with, I'm so glad we will have Island Indigo as one of the Stampin Up In-colours for another year yet.
This card showcases one of the new stamp sets from the summer mini catalogue and to make best use of it's components it's a good idea to use the stamp-a-ma-jig to make sure they line up perfectly. The Bright Blossoms stamps were coloured using marker pens and stamped onto whisper white card. The designer paper is from the new Twitterpated suite, another new favourite, the coordinating ruffled ribbon sets it off just right, not a bow this time but a neat knot.
