Smoky Slate: Z Fold card with Everyday Arches and Beautiful Butterflies

16 April, 20257 April, 2025 craftwithkate

Week 49 – Smoky Slate

This handmade card features a Smoky Slate card base measuring 29.7cm x 10.5cm, scored at 9.9cm & 19.8cm and folded in three and dry embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing folder. The Everyday Arches dies are used to die cut 3 x Bubble Bath arches, 3 x Smoky Slate arches and 3 x Basic White arches.

The large butterfly die is cut in the three colours and glued together in the centre. The body is die cut in Basic Black card. Two of the Basic White arches are stamped with Versamark ink, White WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. A Blending Brush with Bubble Bath ink is blended over the butterflies to reveal the magic! This is known as the Emboss Resist Technique.

I also took the Smoky Slate and Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers and gently placed the larger tip inside the lid and carefully flicked ink onto the White arches to get the splatters.

When assembling the card, the Bubble Bath arches are glued on first to the card base, then a piece of gold Open Weave Trim across the card length. The White and Slate arches are glued together and then onto the card.

The sentiment is also heat embossed with White Wow Emboss Powder and added on Mini Dimensionals. Some sequins were added to the centre of the butterfly and around the card.

The centre panel is splattered with Blends Markers and embellishments around the edges. This is the panel for writing a message. Thes smaller butterflies were die cut from Bsic White card that I splattered with the Blends Markers before die cutting. Then added the body in Basic Black card.

The last panel is the same as the front panel with emboss resist and blending, and some more die cut butterflies and sequins added.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Soft Sea Foam.

Shaded Spruce: Everyday Arches with Perennial Lavender & Beautiful Butterflies

9 April, 20257 April, 2025 craftwithkate

Week 48 – Shaded Spruce

Today’s card base is created using the largest of the Everyday Arches dies. Starting with a Shaded Spruce folded A6 card, I placed the die so the left side of the die is on the outside of the card fold. The next arch is die cut with a piece of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP). The next arch is Shaded Spruce and it is stamped with the Elements of Text stamp in the same colour ink.

The butterfly is die cut from another piece of the DSP and the body in Basic Black. The flowers and leaves are die cut using the Country Birdhouse dies in Basic White card. The leaves are water coloured with a Win of Stella and Shaded Spruce ink. Some Low Profile Dots are dded to the centres of the flowers and the sentiment is from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.

On the inside another smaller arch with some extra die cut details.

Real Red: Sending lots of love

2 April, 20251 April, 2025 craftwithkate

Week 47 – Real Red

Today’s card features the Marbled Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper (SDSP) with the Hearts of Elegance bundle.

On a Read Red card base, A Gold Foil layer is added. The SDSP is also run through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Patterns of Friendship die, giving a subtle striped effect. I cut two lengths of Gold Open Weave Trim and added them on Seal+ across the centre of the card to add some texture.

The next layer is the Everyday Arches dies in Basic White. I used the next die two sizes down to cut out the centre to create the arched window.

The hearts are cut in Real Red and Gold Foil and the flowers are stamped in Versamark ink, Gold WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. There are coordinating dies to cut these out. The sentiment is stamped and fussy cut and added on Mini Dimensionals. I added Wink of Stella to the large red heart later for extra sparkle!
