Stampin’ UP! Sale A Bration– Patterned Occasions meets Lattice Die or Honeycomb Embossing to make Baby Quilts!

So here is Part 7 of my Sale A Bration project share!! These cards were ones that prompted  huge amounts reaction and comment at Team Training… a bit of a  “different” colour combo for me… particularly for  a Baby card….. but everyone else loved it!!!

You may spot the new Amanda die-fetish here too….. I am really loving the Lattice die… wouldn’t be without it!! More uses of this die definitely coming this way….. Can’t wait to use it on some real material…. can you imagine the “real” patchwork quilt you can make…. And spot the Essentials Paper Piercing pack used on this card to add the pierced circle around the white base circle – you can also get this for free with a £45 order during SAB….

And of course the new Honeycomb Embossing Folder – a definite must have!! Loving the look… very now & happening…. The honeycomb paper pieces are just made by embossing Designer Series papers and then cutting the shapes out by hand…. great value for people on a budget… ( but I still await the punch Stampin’ Up! – Fingers crossed!!)

And here is a close up the textured face of both of these cards – still loving the Square Lattice Embossing Folder to add this effect.  A little extra that makes the biggest of difference!!

Stampin’ Up! Sale A Bration– Blooming Marvellous meets the Scallop Square die! With a Mini Tutorial as well!

So here is Part 4 of my Sale A Bration Projects share… a Fancy Fold card this time…  using the gorgeous Blooming Marvellous stamp set – yes this is another set that you can get for free with an order of over £45 until 22 March…..

This card showcases my new favourite die for this month!! The Lattice Die…. lot of detail but a simple look… just like its owner!!! And loads of ways to use it…. more coming at some point!!

And yet another Scallop Square Die project has slipped in… this must be about no 30 shared on this blog…. time to move on me thinks… though I do have some tutorials yet to post with the how tos…. I took a lot of step by step photos… and then misplaced them!! But I found them all this week…..

As the How-To-Do-That (Aka Mini Tutorial) for this one – you need to take a 12” x 4 3/4” piece of card.

Score Landscape at 4 1/4” and 7 5/8” and bone fold ( one as a mountain and the other as a valley)

Place the folded panel on your Scallop Square die with the folds placed one scallop in from either side (piccys below.. may help.. may not!!) The elevated fold to the LHS is placed one scallop in from the LHS.. trust me!!

 

Die cut. You end up with a concertina fold card base

So here is an image of what else you get in the Blooming Marvellous stamp set.
