Hello and welcome to Crafting with JaneA. I have been a crafter for many years now and enjoy all type of paper crafting, cardmaking, mixed media, as well as crochet, sewing and upcycling, I hope to bring a bit of what I love to my channel and inspire and encourage you in wherever your crafting journey takes you.
I have lots of poppies growing in my garden covered in butterflies and bumble bees and this was my inspiration for this card.
All of these poppies were self seeded by the birds and each year I collect the seed and then sprinkle in the garden in the Spring and have a lovely bloom of poppies.
Card inspiration can come from so many things and nature and our gardens in one wonderful way.
Here is a step by step video tutorial to show you how to make this card for yourself.
How to make a Triple Time Technique card using an E block and some smooshing with the Stitched Rectangles and Humming Along Stamp Set from Stampin Up.
I love the triple time technique with all the layers you can achieve. This card also uses a large acrylic block with some sponges and inks to create a fun pattern which can then be stamped on t achieve this lovely look.
The colours used were So Saffron, Highland Heather and Pacific Point. Buy ink pads in every colour you can imagine HERE
The stamp set I used was the leaves from Humming Along
#simple stamping is a current promotion from Stampin Up to encourage everyone to get involved in stamping and creating beautiful cards. If you've always wanted to try making hand made cards but have been put off by their complexity then #simple stamping is a great way to get started.
Start with a pack of NOTE CARDS in Whisper White or Very Vanilla. You get 20 cards and envelopes for just £6. Use some inks and a stamp set of your choice and get creating. If you follow the #simplestamping there are lots of ideas from around the world to give you inspiration.
So once you have made a selection of these note cards, it would be great to have a lovely reinforced lidded box for you to put them in and then send or give as a gift.
Boxes can appear to be quite complicated, but trust me they can also be very easy to make. I have tried to come up with a simple lidded box with instructions on how to make that anyone can achieve.
Measurements
For the base cut to 9 1/4" x 7 3/4"
On the 9 1/4 side score at 1" 2" 7 1/4" and 8 1/4"
On the 7 3/4" side score at 1" 2" 5 3/4" and 6 3/4"
For the lid cut to 9 1/2" x 8"
On the 9 1/2" side score at 1" 2" 7 1/2" and 8 1/2"
On the 8" side score at 1" 2" 6" and 7"
I have given a 1/4" difference for the lid to allow for decoration and to give a roomy fit which I prefer, but if you want a tighter fit you can always use 1/8" difference in measurements.
Decorate your box as you wish to coordinate with your Note Cards. I use the RECTANGLE STITCHED FRAMELITS DIES as the largest die fits perfectly with a small border on top of the box.
To make things even easier I have made a step by step video tutorial to show you how to make this box. The video is shot close up so you can see exactly where to score and cut, however inadvertently there is a small section which is just out of shot, which I apologise for and hope will not detract from your enjoyment.
So if you have always been apprehensive about trying to make a box, then I do hope you will give this a try and you don't have to put note cards in it, as it is also perfect for a small gift.
RECTANGLE STITCHED FRAMELITS DIES are new from Stampin Up in the Spring/Summer catalogue. There are 13 dies with stitching inside and out to create some beautiful stitching around your cards and projects.
Use them to create pretty frames.
These pretty cards were made using the TEA TOGETHER STAMP SET
