Diamond Easel Fold

I had a card to make for my Mother-in-law's birthday

this week and as one of her presents is a fox ornament for the garden,

I thought I would tie the card in with it.

I always like to make a special shaped card for her so

went with the diamond fold easel card.

I did make her one of these before for Christmas so hope

she doesn't remember 😍

The papers are plaid tidings, sadly retired along with a

stamp set from Sale-a-bration.

The fox has been coloured using my water colour pencils

and blender pen.

Had a day off yesterday as my IBS raised it's ugly head.

Still struggling with that sicky feeling but hopefully it will

clear away today!

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by.

Spanner Card Tutorial

Front of card

inside first layer

inside second layer, place to add sentiment

I usually do a CAS card tutorial on a Friday

but I have had this card on my MUST TRY list

for nearly a year so had to give it a go.

It is called a Spanner Card,

seriously don't know why but there you go!

I have used the lovely Butterfly Bijou papers

along with Magenta Madness card and ink.

The butterflies are from the

Butterfly Brilliance bundle

which you are going to see a lot of for a while

as I absolutely love it.

The butterflies come in so many sizes,

the papers are gorgeous and can be cut with the dies,

and it will keep me busy with birthday ideas

for a good part of the year to come!

I do have a tutorial available in my VIP Customer Group

showing how I made it.

Funfold Friday - Tent Fold Easel

My fun fold  VIP Video today is called a

Tent Fold Easel Card.

I made these for our kids for the New Year.

The shape is really fun and folds flat if posted.

I had seen loads of these designs on Pinterest etc

and decided to have a go.

The only thing I didn't like was the fact that it really

didn't hold together perfectly at the base.

So I came up with a matching corner that can be slid

off to fold flat and slipped on easily to hold together.

I actually like the added effect it gives.

I used papers from the in-colour selection called

Misty Moonlight with the matching ink.

I also used the circle layering dies, 2" circle punch

and the stamps were from Family Party,

Make a Difference and Itty Bitty Christmas.

Lockdown was lifted this morning so we dashed out

for some last minute items.

Thankfully the two shops we were in were

not too bad at all and people seemed quite happy.

I had such a bad sleep last night, ended up with about 4 hours,

that I feel I am in zombie land today!

It will be a long day!

Take care out there.

Flag Fold Card Tutorial

When I saw ValeryAnne's challenge over at

Butterfly Challenge

I really wanted to have a go.

I had not made a Flag Fold card before so

now I can say I have.

I also made a video showing how I made it

over in my VIP Group.

I have gone with a dark pink, black and white.

The front panel has been embossed

and inside, instead of doing it in one piece of paper

I did it in light weight card and cut panels of the magenta madness

to fit each panel.

As this is for my sister-in-law's birthday

I will be adding a verse and space to sign on either of the larger panels.
