Heartfelt Hexagon Scrapbook Page

Hello and Welcome Back,

Today I am sharing a Scrapbook page I made using the Bloom Impressions DSP and the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. The back ground if this page was made by punching lots and lots of hexagons and then carefully gluing them onto a piece of 12 x 12 Blackberry Bliss Card. The hardest part was placing the hexagons so that the same colour was not on the same line and was not touching on subsequent lines!

This is page also included some ephemera from the Fully Flowering Ephemera pack - I think it was a great way to finish off the page. 
The title "Beautiful" comes from the Saying something ephemera pack.
Again I have included hand written journaling which explains the photo to future generations who read it.

Darling Dinos fancy fold cards

Hello and Welcome back.

Today's cards are Accordion gatefold cards. 

The first one is made using the Bloom Impressions DSP (Retired 2025 Sale-a-Bration rewards) and the Darling Dino stamp set. I've used a mirroring technique to copy the Long Neck Dinosaur that's inside the card and blending brushes to colour the sky and grass on the pop out part of the card.


 


On the second card, I've used the Serene Love DSP and created the clouds, by die cutting a cloud from a scrap of DSP and then using this as a mask to use with the blending brushes.




To make this card you need:

Card Bases
Accordion: 3x 10 5/8 (Score at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4 from both ends 
Card Base: 5 1/2 x 9 1/2 ( Score 2 5/8 from each end to create the base of the card and then score at 1/2 on each end - cut along this score 1 1/2" each side to create the tabs) 
       
Accordion panels:

Cut 5 from cardstock : 2 x 2 7/8 
Cut 5 from DSP or Cardstock: 1 7/8 x 2 3/4

Card Panels:

Cut 4 from Cardstock: 2 x 5 3/8
Cut 4 from DSP: 1 7/8 x 5 1/2
Cut 1 from cardstock: 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
Cut 1 from DSP: 4 x 5 1/4

Fold and burnish all the folds on the card base.
When folding the accordion base, fold in a zig zag pattern following mountain then valley, then valley and mountain. Burnish.
Adhere the panels to both the card base and the front of the accordion piece. Decorate as wished.
Glue the back of the accordion card to the middle of the card base. Then apply glue to the inside of the tabs on the left side of the card. Fold the card so that the last panel of the accordion remains out of the card and press this into the tab with the glue. 
Then repeat on the right hand side.

This card takes some time to put together. I recommend using liquid glue when putting to together to allow for some wiggle room when placing all the pieces. If you are a visual learner, there are a lot of video tutorials online that can show you how to put the card together.

Basic Darling Dino Card

Hello and Welcome Back.

Today I want to share with you a simple card made using the Darling Dinos stamp set and the Bloom Impressions DSP (a 2025 Sale-a-Bration reward from my DSP stash).

I love that this stamp set allows you to customise the sentiment - Roar means what every you want it to mean! In this card, I've used the "You're the best" from the stamp set, however I have use Happy Easter and other sentiments on other cards.

I created the sunflower garden by masking off the stems before stamping and then added colour using a sponge dauber.
