Blue Christmas

Today I'm off to Chichester for a Stampin' Up! class, we are making 2 cards and at Linda's request we are making this style of card, I call it a diamond fold but she described it as a cracker fold which I think sums this up much better!  

This card has the same background, and side decorations as the previous card the only change is the front diamond.

Using versamark ink stamp the Christmas tree from Season on Joy and heat emboss using clear powder.  The edges of the Bashful Blue diamond are stamped using the swirls from the Season of Joy set and Bashful Blue ink and then the edges softened using ink and the sponge Daubers.

It's a blue week........

For lots of reasons this is a blue week, it's a busy week too, two Stampin' Up! home workshops, an all day Christmas Card Class on Saturday and the Southampton Papercraft show on Sunday so I've set blogger to post automatically so you have some different cards and projects to look at.

This an 18th Card for Annabel, daughter of Julia one of my very first Stampin' Up! customers, now a dear friend and I'm sending them both and their family a very big hug x

This is a diamond fold card see the post here for instructions.

I have used the Swirling Stars wheel in Bashful Blue to get the background.

Bashful Blue card stock stamped with Birthday Wishes from Sincere Salutations and edged with the wonderful scallop edge punch, the edges softened with a sponge dauber and ink.

The poinsettia flower from Season of Joy stamped twice onto Whisper White card with Bashful Blue ink, cut out and the petals bent in towards the centre to give dimension. Attached to the card with a pale blue Ice Brad.

The 18 is chipboard, inked and then double heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

The butterfly (from Touch of Nature) is stamped onto Vellum with versamark, then heat and stick powder then dazzling diamonds glitter, the layer below is the same butterfly stamped in Bashful Blue ink onto Whisper white card and then cut out.

Happy Stampin'
