Accordian Double Gatefold card – Independent Stampin Up!® Demonstrator, Victoria, Australia

Week 42 – Pretty in Pink

This Accordion Double Gatefold card features the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty DSP, the Simply Beautiful Bundle and the Banner Sayings Bundle.

This piece of Specialty DSP has gorgeous gold foiling and big bold flowers, so it was the perfect background choice. The main feature are die cut flowers and leaves in white card and gently coloured using Blending Brushes and inks. The flower centres are cut in Gold Foil.

Here is the card open. On the narrow centre pieces I have added DSP to the left and right sides. In the centre is white card stamped with Happy birthday and the panels either side are stamped with one of the flower images in Pretty in Pink ink. The sentiment [Banner Sayings] is stamped in Versamark ink, White WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with the Heat Tool. It was then cut out with the Three Banner Punch.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next week for Pretty Peacock inspiration.

Week 25 – Fresh Freesia

Today we mark the halfway point through our colours at Week 25!!! Which has been your favourite so far?!!

I am featuring the Country Flowers Bundle with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (DSP) in this fun fold design. I have used Fresh Freesia, Misty Moonlight and Summer Splash as my main colour palette.

Each of these pots are die cut in white card, but before removing the card, turn them over and run your stylus tip on the Take Your Pick Tool around the inside edge of the die for more definition. Then turn it over and use a Blending Brush to lightly add some ink to create that crisp white border. The flowers and leaves are stamped in Versamark ink, White WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with a Heat Tool. Colour the images using ink and a Water Painter. Around the edges, I added a light wash of Misty Moonlight to soften the harshness of the white edges.

Don’t you think that wood panelling of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper looks great in the background?!! The Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder was used on the Fresh Freesia panels.
