We’re back! And this month we’re making a Cascading Display fold card. This is a fun and simple card to make and it looks great! It’s funny… the more I make fancy fold cards the more I find them easier than they look. For measurements and tips to make your own check out my YouTube video here. Then post a pic in the comments. I’d love to see your designs!

Both of my designs for this fancy fold card are Christmas themed. I guess I’m really getting into my holiday crafting. Anyway… for one design I paired the Christmas Scottie stamp set and Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper. For the colour combination I used Smoky Slate and Mint Macaron. I just love the way the gold foil sparkles with this DSP! Don’t you?!

The other design uses the Spruced Up stamp set and the Painted Christmas DSP. This time with Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent for my colours. I thought about popping up some elements or adding some bling, but decided the card didn’t need it. The simple mechanism that helps layer the different pieces really does the trick. It closes so nicely and when it’s open you can easily see all the different layers.

Handmade Card for Dog Lovers

Handmade Card for Dog Lovers

Posted on by inkspirationwithteresa

In our house we’re more about cats. But we have many family and friends with dogs… and every once in a while my munchkins do ask me if we can get a dog. So when I saw the Christmas Scottie bundle I had to craft a handmade card for dog lovers. This is a nice, simple card. It’s my first one with this bundle and I wanted the Scottie to be the focus.

To start I chose my colours for my dog and their bow. I love the colours and patterns in the Lights Aglow 6 x 6 Specialty Designer Series Paper and thought it would work great. It also worked really well as the card mat. A nice bit of colour, but the pattern is simple enough not to take away from my furry friend. Plus with Basic Black as the card base and other pieces, the Cherry Cobbler from the DSP really pops.

The phrase comes from the Christmas Scottie stamp set. I stamped it with Cherry Cobbler ink and then used the Layering Circles dies to frame it before I popped it up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I did the same thing with the Scottie dog I punched out, just using a couple of the larger Layering Circles dies.

To finish it off I added an extra Basic Black bow. Then a few Pearl Basic Jewels to the Lights Aglow card mat. Here it is…

Dogs totally hold a special place in our hearts! And I hope this handmade card for dog lovers shows that.
