Argyle Technique Practice Card

 Every month I like to do a practice card for our Technique Class, and this month I used some mostly retired papers and stamps. You know what? It was fun to be able to use the materials, just like it was new to me!

Here is my "practice" Argyle Technique Card:

STAMP SET: Elephant Parade

INK: Misty Moonlight

PAPER: Misty Moonlight Base, White Layer, Night of Navy Layer, Bloom Boutique DSP 

ACCESSORIES: Eyelet Embossing Folder, Hydrangea Hue Dots, 1 1/8" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch

The squares are 1" squares and you need 9 of them. I love how this turned out, a cute little baby quilt.

I hope that you enjoyed today's card, I will be posting the Technique Cards later this month, so stay tuned.

Thanks for stopping by,

Take care

Cindy

Facebook Live Replay - Hello Friend

 This week I not only used the Opulent Oasis stamp set but also the Autumn Opulence Designer Series Paper to make a fabulous Fancy Fold card. I am calling it the Front Flap Tuck Card and here it is.

And here is the inside:

Project Recipe:

STAMP SET: Opulent Oasis

INK: Blackberry Bliss

PAPER: Blackberry Bliss Base, Autumn Opulence DSP, Pecan Pie, Very Vanilla

ACCESSORIES: Stitched so Sweetly (Tag), Seasonal Cheer Embossing Folder-Leaves, Dimensionals, Very Vanilla Dots

CUTTING & SCORING: 

• Blackberry Bliss Base 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" Score at 3"
• Blackberry Bliss Front Layer 2 3/4" x 4"
• Autumn Opulence DSP 2 3/4" x 4", 2 1/2" x 3 3/4", 2" x 2"
• Pecan Pie 2 1/4" x 2 1/4", 4" x 5 1/4" Inside
• Very Vanilla 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" Inside, 1 1/2" x 3" Tag

Helpful Hint: I found when putting a fancy fold card together is to use paper clips to put it all together before I even glue it. That way I if I make a mistake it is easy to fix.

Now it is time for the video so that you can see how I made this really cute card.

I hope that you liked today's card and will want to come back often. Thanks so much!!

Take care,

Cindy
