So wait there's more! Be sure to return tomorrow for more on a "paper focus series"...
A straightforward A6 tent fold card... perfect for using those scraps...
 |
| Closed.... |
Another card in the series focusing on using the 6 x 6 papers... featuring Tidings of Christmas and Merriest Moments for Christmas makes... and using the Stitched So Sweetly dies for my all-time-favourite greeting label...
 |
| Opening Up.... |
Definitely a favourite card fold at the moment... though it probably won't be when I finish the 60+ thank you cards I have on the go at the moment... but more on those another day....
 |
| Open... and on display... |
Bit of a back story with this card... as it is a re-worked or CASEd version of a card I made 8 years ago for a Male Card series using Dapper Dad and Parkers Patterns... and that has been sitting on my "re-make me as I'm great" pile ever since... So now I have... though I changed the sizes of the top mat and papers to suit my leftovers from a card I will share soon!
And I couldn't resist decorating the inside with another of my paper scraps...
And a few tips for you....
(1) Reduce the amount of ribbon/thread you use when you are just going to cover it up... hopefully the picture says 1000 words....
So this is a Side Fold card as I called it... as when I first created one I didn't see all the Book Binding Fold Card and Book Fold Card tutorials for such a fold around the web over the years...
And the Side Fold name has now stuck in my head... oops! As I am not a believer of changing card fold names... but I don't actually "get" the Book meaning/term... maybe it was derived from a Mini Book way back when... ?
Other products used are the Merriest Moments stamps and the Label Me Lovely Punch... which I have to admit are both getting a major workout at the moment!
Click here for more detail on the first 2...
A few more of these great-for-bulk-making Angled Corner Layer cards... but using the True Love papers this time...
And here is the other side of the paper sheet... Rococo Rose stripes...
Really quick and easy method with papers... but making a stunning feature... and 4 cards made in a flash! Definitely a method for "pinning" and to use when bulk making...
Sharing just the 2 today... as I tried out a few things as I went along... come back Tuesday for the other Paper Blooms pair... and (hopefully) a few extra tips...
Floral and leaf elements fussy cut from the Paper Blooms papers... which I just love...
Along with a sentiment from the Heal Your Heart stamps... of which the sentiments are just amazing for today's times...
I particularly like the "can't... fix your problems... but you won't face them alone"... (2nd one down)... I can send a lot with that sentiment out nowadays.. and hopefully brighten someone else's day slightly in the doing so...
Remember that you can get both of these for free during the Sale A Bration promotion - one for every £45 ordered - but beware this promotion finishes in just over a weeks time - 28 Feb...
Need more flowers... just check out the co-ordinating All Blooms bundle featured earlier this week... along with those fantastic pierced blooms....
Apart from using different cut out flowers and sentiments... there's only two slight difference between these 2 cards...
Just the Night of Navy mat... and a white embossed sentiment down the right hand slope on this one... and note that the large daisy-type flower is just a partial one (cut from the edge of the paper) which was popped under the bottom slope and covered by more flowers...
And a Night of Navy stamped sentiment on an extra Seaside Spray mat on this one...
