You've earned it!

I've been inspired by the thinlits hearth and home for this card. With the combination of different stamp sets and petite flower punch I have been able to recreate a window with planter completed with blooming flowers. The wall is finished with the wood grain embossing folder. 
It's been like constructing a diorama process involved here and I will be making a similar theme again as there is certainly full of creative ideas you can develop from this thinlits. 
So here is this magnificent card that I love.
Hope I am able to inspire you with this design.

Tri-fold card- On your new home

I had this idea of a scenic card for a new home using the sheltering tree stamp set, wild about flowers and the holiday home stamp and thinlit. 
Use a card stock of 6" by 12". A long the long side if the card stock, score at 2", 4", 8" and 10". Fold the score marks ar 4" and 10" towards the centre of the card. Then fold at the score marks 2" and 10" outward. 
Stamp the landscape scene using sheltering tree. With the card at a closed position, stamp the tree and the grass piece around the centre fold. Open the card and re-stamp the tree to complete the tree shape on both end of the card. Because the stamp is a polyurethane stamp you can align the on the first tree print. Add more feature to the landscape by stamping the flowering plant from the sheltering tree set. Stamp two house prints from the holiday home stamp set then cut it out using the thinlits. Colour the house using the watercolour brush. Position one house in the middle part of the card and give it a depth by using the dimensional. Position the other house cut out on the front part of the card. Put an addition sentiment as to how you want the card for.
Hope this tutorial is clear enough to enable you to make your very own version of this tri-fold card.



Enjoy the idea of a freehand trifold card.

Specially made for you cascading card

I have been making cascading card with my own twist. I have seen a finished Tri-fold cascading card in Pinterest and so I decided to give it a try.
Taking into account that I will have to make a box for its packaging I had to make sure I had the same colour card stock to use for the card and the box. So why not go for the purple theme through and through. 



And so here we go the purple theme with a splash of yellow in crushed curry. 
His is finished off with the stunning card box.
Here is hoping the lucky recipient of this cascading card will love it just as the time in creating it gave me much pleasure.
