Forever Greenery fancy fold, facebook live project

Yesterday I started a new series on my Facebook Business page Scrimpy's Stampin closet. Every other Sunday I will be sharing a project with you LIVE. I am calling this slot 'easy like Sunday morning live'. This Sunday I created a lovely fancy fold using Forever Greenery suite which I absolutely love !!

I am super please how pretty this turned out. I knew in my head what I wanted to achieve and this is pretty close. I love how the dies co-ordinate with the stamped images. This means you are able to cut them out real easy and build great clusters as the focal point for your card.

The colours are outstanding too the green tones are deep and rich, yet bright and uplifting.

I did save my Facebook live and have it on my YouTube for you to watch this fun live shares the creation of the card from beginning to end.

I will leave measurements and products used below for your reference.

Please do watch the tutorial and maybe you would like to join my next live on Sunday the 12th July.

Fun slide and lock fancy fold card tutorial

How cool is this card !! .. it has a fun' locking mechanism' you can slide up and off the card to open it. I saw a crafter named Nicola Mason use this technique in a journal she made and shared on a journal page I follow. The second I saw it I had to try it. A great idea to add to your repertoire as it were and useful for lots of crafty projects. Watch my YouTube video below to see how it works AND how its made.

I used the beautiful Stampin' Up! Flowers for every season papers, bright bold and fun. I also used the brand new stamp and punch bundle which goes with the paper... Jar of flowers. THER most fun suite we even have mason jar shaped clear shaker domes. Imagine the fun you can have with this cute Stamp and punch bundles are budget friendly and my go to crafty collectable.

Enough drooling over the products.. I have a step by step video tutorial below. And to make your life easier I have listed all the measurements too. No excuse to not try this for yourself !!

Have fun creating.

Squash mini album 1 of #100things

I love this squash mini album ! perfect as a travel brag book, journal or even as a fancy fold card for someone. So easy to create and the bold bright colours of the Best Route suite make it a joy to work with.

You can create two of these from one sheet of 12 x 12 card stock and a small amount of DSP. The fun is in the folding to create the little album.

Rather than reel off a heap of instructions here, I do have a full process video on my YouTube for you to craft along to. I will leave the measurements below and the products used are listed too . So grab a brew, get comfy and enjoy the video.
