In The Meadow Z-fold card

Aw, I do love this deer image, it’s so restful. I made this as a welcome card for the very first man to join my stamping team: please check out Ian’s blog.

It’s a simple twist on a standard card - just score at the halfway point down the front panel and fold it back on itself to create this fun fold. A little flag of frayed burlap ribbon adds a rustic feel, and the lovely leafy patterned paper is one of my favourites from this particular pack.

Timeless Textures on a Tuesday

No Mix It Up Monday this week... I just didn’t get chance to make a project. Instead, we have a Timeless Textures Tuesday: if you don’t have this stamp set already, I highly recommend you add it to your next order as you’ll love it. I predict that it will sweep the Stampin’ Up!® world with all the vigour of Gorgeous Grunge. Here I’ve teamed it with some flowers from In The Meadow and a greeting from the FREE Sale-a-Bration stamp set, Perfect Pairings. Those enamel dots are a must, in my opinion, too – like Candy Dots but rounder and shinier!

Tutorial: In The Meadow half easel card

I really don’t know what’s come over me this year. I keep making projects which are so out of character that I hardly recognise myself. Now it’s time for another fancy fold – this time a half easel card using one of my new favourite stamp sets; In The Meadow. I teamed it with another new set, Perfect Pairings, which is free with a £45 order during Sale-a-Bration. 

I was surprised how easy this one was to make; it’s simply a case of sandwiching a flap between two pieces of card and sticking an image to it. I made lots of these, trying to perfect the design for a Make & Take. When I say “perfect”, sometimes this just means making sure I have enough of the right colour cardstock. 

I created a tutorial for you to download if you wish, although please do bear in mind that the measurements are in metric. But I’m sure you can adapt them. The tutorial is for the design you see below, but obviously you can switch the colours around to suit. I used the Botanical Blooms cardstock pack, as the colours lend themselves perfectly to the stamp set, and you can get all three in one pack, eight sheets of each.
