Dahlia Fold Birthday Wishes

Posted in Birthday Cards, Cards by lisababitz

(Inside: A birthday wish is sent your way hoping you’ll have a wonderful day.)

I saw this video on You Tube on how to make flowers using the “Dahlia Fold” technique and thought I’d give it a try.

I used 2 sheets of double sided paper from the “Stella & Rose” 6 inch paper pad from My Mind’s Eye, a 1-3/8″ circle punch from Stampin’ Up, and a 5/8″ heart punch from Recollections to make my flower pieces (and mat panel). I also used Rustic Cream card stock from Papertrey Ink.

The “stem” was from the “Dot Flourishes” stamp set from Inkadinkado, and the greeting was from the “Wild Blossoms” set from Gina K Designs. The sentiment on the inside was from the “Birthday Sentiments” set from Honey Doo Crafts. All were stamped with Gina K Moonlit Fog ink. To add the speckles on the front panel, I used a Tim Holtz Bundled Sage distress marker and the Tim Holtz marker spritzer tool (which is quickly becoming one of my favorite toys!).

Currently, the Mod Squad Challenge is “ready for spring” where we are encouraged to “make a Spring themed card with flowers, bunnies, pastels…anything Spring.” (Sadly, this site is no longer active.)

The stamps used on this CAS card are “Easter Lily and Crosses Oval” (#234KU), “1 Line Easter Blessings” (#W1029DU), and “Blessed With Gifts” (#970GU) from DRS Designs. The images were stamped with versamark ink and heat embossed with Gina K Fine Detail Gold embossing powder. I swiped the edges of my mat panel with versamark and embossed that as well. Gina K base weight Ivory card stock and Edible Eggplant were also used.

Hoppy Easter Z-Fold Card

Posted in Cards, Creative Folds, Easter, Holiday Cards by lisababitz

Hoppy Easter Z-Fold Card

This z-fold card features stamps from the “Bunny Hop” stamp set by Newton’s Nook Designs. The images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on water color paper (I love the texture!) and colored with Copic Markers (Y15, YG03, R85, C0, Bv20/R81, and 0).

A Tim Holtz Dusty Concord distress marker and the Tim Holtz marker spritzer tool were used to add the speckles to the two stamped panels.

Recollections Yellow Grey Plaid paper and a piece of the grey from the Recollections Coffee and Cream heavy weight card stock pack were added to the water color paper card base.

The card base was created by scoring an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch panel at the 4 1/4 and 2 1/8 inch marks (in half and one side in half again). Fold the card base in half, and fold the top half back on the scored line creating a Z.

I created my inside panel the same size as my front panel and lined it up directly under the front panel so it is completely hidden when the card is closed.

Black and White Daisy Note Card

Posted in Cards, Other by lisababitz

Black and White Daisy Note Card

This simple note card features the “Watercolor Daisy” stamp from Hampton Art. When I originally purchased it, I intended to add color to the image, but I really liked how it looked in black and white so I “threw together” a quick black and white note card. (I’ll try it with color next time!)

The image was stamped with Gina K Black Onyx ink on white card stock. A Teresa Collings Enamal Dot was added to the center. The background panel was embossed with a Cuttlebug “Swiss Dots” embossing folder. Black mats and a piece of black and white ribbon (by Offray) finished it off.
