Springtime in Kyoto

Hi Crafty Friends

 I have a fun fold card to share today that I created recently. I used the Honeycomb Card die set from Creative Craft Products to make this fun fold card. 

To decorate my card I used products from the Spellbinders Spring in Kyoto Collection designed by Alex Siberia. For this card I used the Kokeshi Doll die set and Parasols Betterpress Plate & stencils.

I betterpressed the Parasol plate four times so I could decorate all the panels on my card.

Here is a look at the back of my card, I added a vertical happy birthday Sentiment which is an older stamp from my stash.

Here is a view of the back of my card when it is closed.

 

Birthday Surprise

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Last Year I purchased Craft Stash's Advent Calendar, so I have pulled out one of the stamp sets included in the kit to create my card today. All the main Craft Stash Branded Companies were included in the kit and this stamp set was created by My Creative Life.

For my card I created a Fancy Fold Card using dies from Creative Craft Products, this card uses the Honeycomb Card die set.

The card can fold flat and measures approximately 6 inches wide by 5 1/2 inches tall. 

Here is a look at the back of the card, I added a birthday sentiment to the centre panel using an older stamp set from MFT Stamps.

And finally a photo of the back of the card, when the card is folded. This could be the front of the card with say a panel in the centre which is then opened to reveal a sentiment or whatever. I may do that next time I play with this die set.

Honeycomb Snowman

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a Christmas themed Z Fold Card that I created recently.

A year or two ago, Craft Stash released some Christmas themed Honeycomb die sets which I missed out on at the time. So I was very happy when I discovered a few months ago that they had re-released them. Of course I ordered them as I love creating Honeycomb Cards. This card using the Snowman die from the Honeycomb Christmas Collection from Creative Craft Products.

So that this card can be mailed if needed. I added hook and loop tape to the back of the honeycomb piece. When the recipient receives the card, they can open up the honeycomb section and it will attach itself to the hook portion of the tape to secure it in position.

Here is a look at my card, when the card is opened. I added an oval panel on the back panel which is hidden under the snowman. I added a Christmas sentiment to the oval using one of the stamps included in the Honeycomb Christmas Sentiment stamp set.

I also added some snowflakes randomly around the card using a die from Karen Burniston.

I added a panel to the back of the card, for a place to add a sentiment and a personal greeting. 

Party Like a Pineapple

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

According to the Days of the Year website, today (27th June) is International Pineapple Day and National Sunglasses Day ... so of course seeing I had dies that fitted both those themes, I had to make a card.

As you can see by the photo above, I have created a honeycomb card using Creative Craft Products' Pineapple die set from their Tropical Honeycomb Collection. This set includes dies to create both the pineapple and the sunglasses.

I created a Mini Slimline card using Karen Burniston's Short Rectangles - Crosshatch die set for the patterned paper background.

Normally I can fit a honeycomb card in an envelope, as I can fold the honeycomb paper back for mailing. However since I wanted to decorate the front of the pineapple as a face, this card will need to be delivered by hand or placed in a box. 

The sentiment at the top right of the card is from Creative Craft Products' Tropical Sentiments stamp set. 

Here is a look at the inside of my card. I computer generated the "If life gives you pineapples" sentiment. The "Cheers" and the images are all from the Creative Craft Products' Tropical Sentiments stamp set.

Blooming Marvellous Birthday

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another Fancy Fold Card using dies from Creative Craft Products, this card uses the Honeycomb Card die set.

Depending how you fold this card, it can have various looks. I decided to have the centre panel so it was in front of the card rather than set back.

To decorate my card I used My Creative Life's The Gift of Giving die set.

The card can fold flat and measures approximately 6 inches wide by 5 1/2 inches tall. 

The sentiment is from the Made To Surprise Funky Flowers stamp set.

Here is a look at the back of the card, I added a birthday sentiment to the centre panel using the My Creative Life's Fabulous Sentiments stamp set.

I added two of the flowers used on the front of the card on the sentiment panel for some added interest.

And finally a photo of the back of the card, when the card is folded. This could be the front of the card with say a panel in the centre which is then opened to reveal a sentiment or whatever. I may do that next time I play with this die set.
