This month our theme is Fancy Fold February.

 Thank you for visiting my blog today. 

Today's Fancy Fold card is made using the Petal Palette Bundle and Petal Passion Designer Series Paper from the 2018 Spring/Summer Catalogue 

I have used Soft Sky cardstock for the card base. I used the new Stampin' Blends to colour the flowers and birds. Some Wink of Stella gives a nice shimmer. 

I cut through all 3 layers at the same time to make the window to make sure that they were exactly above each other.

This lovely card idea is cased from one made in 2016 by our very own Crafty Cupcake Lea Denton. Thanks Lea. Do hop over and see her blog.

Weekend Blog - Stampin' Up! Sheltering Tree Friendship Card

Welcome to my Weekend Blog

Today I am going to show you a card made with the Stampin' Up!(SU) Sheltering Tree stamp set

As the leaves on "My" tree outside my craft room window start to show the hues of autumn, I am looking forward to the annual display of amazing colours in our trees. This card is a nod to Autumn and also to my Friends who help me through hard times 

I have made this card so that the image on the front overflows the matt that it is stamped on. This effect can either be done by doing all your stamping and then cutting out the square, or by cutting the square first, and then stamping. I have tried it both ways and both work. 

Here I have done all my stamping and then carefully cut out the square. Always stabilize the framelit with Washi tape before running it through Bigshot machine. Once you have the apeture, cut 2 more layers of the same size in the matt colour and make glue the 3 square together to give a nice thickness. Mount with dimesionals

Complete your card as below
