CASE challenge 11 – magic slider

Week 11 is yet another fancy fold card, and it's a golden oldie!  I remember making magic slider cards for my second ever Convention back in 2010.  It's been great to dust off this fancy fold and put a fresh look on it.  I was delighted when Becki chose Becky aka Scrappy Stamper (read more here) as our CASE inspiration this week. I used Call Me Clover for the card base and coordinating ribbon, and Whisper White and Window Sheets for the mechanism.  The stamp set was Nothing Sweeter, stamped in Call Me Clover and Pineapple Punch for the star, [...]

Case challenge 10 – pop up twist

Week 10 is another fancy fold card, and this might be my favourite so far.  I've always admired the pop up twist cards that I've seen others do, but had never tried them myself, so this week's inspiration from the clever Carol Borgeson (read more here) was the perfect opportunity.  I loved making this card so much, I made three!  Once I got going, they were SO easy, but sure to get a WOW from the recipient!  I'll do a video to show you just how simple they are once you know how. I started with Whisper White card for [...]

CASE challenge 9 – teeny gift bags

Aren't these teeny gift bags the cutest?!  This week we're casing the lovely Andrea Gutzmer, check out the info here.   I just love her teeny bags using DSP and cardstock for little sweetie pouches.  I decided to make my version a little smaller, as I had some Fererro Rochers just crying out for cute packaging.  I also decided to use coordinating cardstock for by bottom half rather than white, as I wanted a nice contrast with the Designer Series Paper top. I started with the Frosted Floral Speciality DSP and selected Blackberry Bliss and Powder Pink as my coordinating colours [...]

CASE challenge 8 – reflection technique

For week 8 of our CASE challenge we're trying another technique, known as the reflection technique.  This is where you use a mirror image of your featured stamp.  Our inspiration came this time from the totally fabulous Michelle Zindorf, find more information here.  I had lots of fun trying this one out, and I've realised it works best (for me at least!) with line stamps.  I had several failed attempts with bold/textured stamps, and in the end decided to try the line stamp and was really pleased with the result.  I hope you like it too! I'll do a [...]
