To a friend - Aud Sentiments #302

Monday June 5, 2023

Hello

Welcome back.. Hope your summer is off on a good start. 

I love summer, warmer weather.

Today we have a new challenge over at

Aud Sentiments #302

Our theme this month is

FUN FOLD and / or SUMMER

For my card I have three photos. All products are from Stampin up. I took a standard size of card stock and scored at 5- 1/2 and then scored 2-1/8 from top to score line and turned over and scored on other side same measurements. Then cut those corner sections off. Now you can fold the card flap down. which is in the second photo. I used designer papers from SU and covered all sections. I stamped the sentiment and used stamps and dies to create the front. The butterfly on the right is on couple foam dots so it stands up more and is the lock to keep the card folded. 

With the side pieces cut off you can now fold that center section down. I decided to keep the same designer paper on the inside area. 

This is the full inside of the card. I added more die cuts and sentiment.  I really like how this came out.

layered card - Cardz 4 Guyz #323

Hello

We have a new challenge over at 

Cardz 4 Guyz #323

Our theme is

LOTS OF LAYERS / AT LEAST 3

for my card I created. The fold is a little different.. well probably not the fold but front. The Kraft part is not glued down. You can see the area of the top bottom floral is where the kraft is cut the whole small kraft piece opens.. I guess you can see the next photo more on how this card is. You can add an image to the front diamond part but I liked the way it looked so left it alone. I may change it later when I decide who I want to send it to. I could add the sentiment - thank you, happy birthday, get well..... 

See when the front is opened you can see the front and inside.

I have always loved this dragonfly stamp from Stampers Anonymous.. I used some DCWV paper and stamped the image on it. I added this to a piece of purple card stock then to the black card stock.

BACKGROUND

This is my card and I created the background.. I watched on You Tube Kelly Taylor Cards.. and she took a piece of watercolor paper and using watercolors she just added streaks of colors without getting them muddy. which I did using Prima watercolors. You let it dry. I let it dry for about a week .. only cause I was busy diamond painting and just got lost in that.. lol.. Then I took my thicker almost 3 D effect embossing folder and the part that is more flat I added black ink and just tapping and tapping it on the flat part of the folder till I thought it had a good cover. I gently laid the paint side of the paper onto the ink side and carefully closed the other half and taped it shut just to keep the paper from moving. I ran it through my Big shot about 4 times just to make sure I got good coverage. Then when I opened it .. this is what I saw.. wow.. (I did two so another time I will show that one too) I love the effect. I didn't want to cover any of it so added a layered simple Simon Says hello...
