JOY OF SETS BLOG HOP - APRIL 2020 - BIRTHDAY FOLD

Thanks for joining us on another Joy of Sets Blog Hop organised by the fabulous Angie McKenzie. Our theme is Birthdays with the added interest of a different type of fold.  Once again I was inspired by the Queen of folded cards in my estimation Dawn Griffith and her pop out folded card.  

I've used some of the lovely Magnolia Designer Series Paper coupled with Blushing Bride and Always Artichoke cardstock.  My Meerkats  from The Gang's All Meer are water coloured with SU water colour pencils.  I've added an extra one for the front which has been fussy cut out with some of the cacti.  

The inside has a panel of the same DSP and another cute Meerkat.  I loved making this fold card and it was so easy to do following Dawn's instructions.

TRY STAMPIN ON TUESDAY - #TSOT452

Our challenge this week at Try Stampin on Tuesday has the added optional theme of flower power.

I started off with a stencil from The Crafter's Workshop called Mini Honeycomb and sponged it with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Mustard Seed.  I then stamped the branch of flowers from Kaisercraft Stamps Summer Breeze and coloured them in with Tri Blend Spectrum Noir blending pens.  I used some of the See a Silhouette DSP from SU and cut out four of the hexagons.  I used the same papers for the butterflies using some retired SU butterfly punches and added some gem stones.  The sentiment is from Kaisercraft Curiosity stamp set stamped in Ranger Archival Ink in Monarch Orange.
