TLC Designs Daisy Frame Fancy Fold Card

Hi Friends,

I have an adorable fancy fold tutorial along with card to share with you today showing off the "Daisy Frame Die" set by TLC Designs. This die set is a beautiful layering / nesting style die set with bonus embellishment dies. 

 
You can see the beautiful layers that this die creates and I thought it would be fun to make a fancy fold card using this elegant shape. 

Above is a angled view of the card as it open. I used the smaller layering dies from the Daisy Frame set for an area to write on.

Here is a straight on view when you go to open the card. I have also attached the Dreamer stamp with a single brad so you can swing it back in forth if you would like. Here is a video showing how I made this card. 

 


 




Here is a final close up photo of the card. Isn't he adorable? Jump over to the TLC Designs Creative Sharing group and share your TLC Designs project. Hope to see you there. Thank you for stopping by today. See you next week! Melanie

LDRS Creative ~ Christmas Friends

 

Hello Creative Friends,

Today I am sharing an adorable new stamp from the LDRS Creative Polkadoodles line, it is named  "Christmas Friends". These stamps are such sweet little girls to color, and this one has some of her winter friends with her.

I have created a fun shaped card using the Polkadoodles Die Set named "Woodland Foliage Frames" I love how delicate this layering set is.

I love the new "Folded Winter Banner" die set. This new die set comes in two sizes. I have used the smaller size here in my project. I used the die to cut out a portion of the "Mackenzie Christmas 6x6" Paper" to create my coordinating sentiment.

Sweet Treats!!! ~ Happy Birthday Elijah!

Hello Fellow Crafters,

I am excited to share this card with all of you today. I actually made two different cards using this stamp set. One for LDRS Creative showcasing their amazing stamps & dies. The second card is a fun birthday card my grandson, Elijah, who just turned 1 year old this past Wednesday so these cards were inspired by him!!!!

With this card design I used the adorable treat stamps from the Sweet Treats stamp set and created my own designer paper. Once I stamped them with our amazing Raven Hybrid Black ink I colored them using alcohol markers. Super fun background!
For the sentiment I used a combination of the Sweet Treat Stamp Set and the Scalloped Circle Frame Set creating a little dimension by adding the hand cut ice cream cone to the center with some foam tape. It really turned out cute. 


HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY ELIJAH!!!!! 
And to my amazing daughter, Nicholette, who has become an amazing mother. I love you both beyond words!!!
