Rinea Tutorial - Let It Snow!

Happy New Year, my friends!

Today I have a fun tutorial for Rinea.
I'm scheduling this post ahead of time,
and at this point it's my first blog post of 2020!

I'm going to show you how to make this fun tri-fold card,
using these fabulous foiled papers!

I'm using the "Frosted" collection for this project.
I think it's one of my favorite Variety Packs in the shop.
The colors are so beautifully frosty! lol

Here's my card:

It's hard to really see it, so I've taken lots of photos.

This is the front side:

This is the back side:

Here's how I made it:

Materials Used:

Frosted Foiled Paper Variety Pack;

Sizzix Thinlits Die - Tri-fold Card, Snowflake;

Small Piece of White Cardstock;

Glittery Ribbon - Enough to tie a small bow.

1. Using the die, cut the card base out of the Turquoise/Turquoise Starstruck foiled paper from the Variety Pack.

2. Cut a variety of the snowflakes dies, using all the papers in the collection.

3. Cut the word dies from your chosen colors of foiled paper.

  

4. Gently score along the score lines of the card base. Then fold your card base flat, ensuring it is all square and even. 

5. Open the card up again, and embellish. The words are layered, and adhered in place to the front bottom of the front frame.

6. The snowflakes are all layered onto the snowflake in the center panel. Add them in order of biggest to smallest, from back to front.

7. Turn the card over and layer more on the other side.
8. Cut a piece of white cardstock and adhere it to the back of the card base. This provides you with a place to stamp/write your sentiment. Add a couple of extra snowflakes in the corner. 

9. Finally, tie the piece of ribbon into a bow, and adhere it to the front of the card.

Here's a final look at the card all folded up:

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
May you each enJOY a Healthy and Happy New Year!

Deedee's June Digi of the Month Challenge

***If you're looking for Dunja's Blog Hop, it's HERE***

Hello, my friends!

This is my card for Deedee's June Digi of the Month Challenge.

This digi is called "Diver Daniel" and you can find it in  Deedee's Shop.

As always, Deedee's digi sets come with precoloured images, or ones you can colour yourself.

 I chose to use the coloured images for my project.

I must say that I'm really enjoying the option!

My card is an easel card.

I used blue vellum for the water, and layered it both behind and in front of the image.

The fun sentiment is part of the set. 

More vellum on the inside, with the images both behind and on top.

Here's what the card looks like closed.

Isn't he cute?

I added glossy accents to the mask and snorkel bubbles.

Materials Used:

Papers: Recollections - Cardstock,

Vellum from my Stash;

Dies: Sizzix Framelits - Card, Regal Stand-Ups

by Stephanie Barnard;

Punch: Fiskars - Boundary Waters Border Punch;

Bling: The Robin's Nest - Water, Mowed Grass;

Glossy Accents.

Happy Easter With Some Sushi Dolls!!

Hello, my friends!

I spent some time today playing with a couple of new release Sushi Dolls!

They are called Bunny Boy and Bunny Girl,

and you can find them in the shop right HERE.

I had just finished coloring them up when I watched a great video by Dina for Split Coast Stampers.

(You can see the video HERE)

I knew these cuties would be perfect on this double twisted easel card!

First, I fussy cut the images.

Then I prepared the base and added my first layer of decorative paper.

These sweet kids are out on their Easter egg hunt, so there had to be some layers of grass.

I cut a variety of circles out of several papers, trimmed them and nestled them in the grass.

Don't they look like pretty Easter eggs?

I popped the sentiment up on dimensionals to act as a stopper.

I took several pictures so you can get a good look!

Here's the front view:

The view from the top:

This is Bunny Girl:

Bunny Boy comes with his little basket filled with one egg:

Here is the card with the panels flat:

Here it is all folded up and ready for an envelope:

Materials Used:

Papers: Recollections - Cardstock, My Mind's Eye - Alphabet Soup;

Image: Sushi Dolls - Boy Bunny, Girl Bunny,

Spectrum Noir Markers;

Sentiment: Deedee's Digis - Right On Track,

Punch: Fiskars - Grass;

Ink: Distress Ink - Iced Spruce.
