Fun Fold Angle Cut Card with Detailed Dogwood & watercolor pencils

I have a new fun fold for you today, at least new to me.  I saw Ange McKay make a fun fold very similar to this yesterday, and had to try it.  Her card was a tri-fold card and I didn't want to use a whole sheet of cardstock, so I altered it for a bi-fold card that you can make two card bases from one sheet of cardstock. When I made my original sample, I colored my focal image with Stampin' Blends markers.  I was then inspired by Linda Dalke to try my hand at some water coloring with the watercolor pencils.  I've forgotten how much I love using them.   So for this card, I've colored my image with the watercolor pencils.  To see how I've put this card together, be sure to watch the video replay on YouTube.

Autumn Leaves 1/2 sheet fold over flap treat box

 Geez, I’m so ready for fall, anyone else.  It’s been a good summer, but with almost no rain here in Oregon where I’m at this season.  This week, it’s a bit cooler and feels a little more like fall and we have a small bit of rain.  We are still in a drought, but rain is in the forecast for today.  I’ve been playing with the All About Autumn suite of products from the September-December 2023 Stampin’ Up! mini catalog releasing to the public next week on September 6.  Fall is my favorite season and I love anything leaves so this suite spoke to my heart and I had to get it to share with all of you.  

My first project this week uses a new-to-me watercolor technique that is quick and super easy.  Be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel HERE to see how I watercolored my leaves.  The treat box is a resized version of a box from Angie at ChicnScratch.  I liked how the box looked, but wanted to be able to get two out of a sheet of cardstock, so I resized it to fit.  I generally make 10 or so boxes when I make them so it’s preferable for me to have a smaller size economically.  The finished box size is 2 1/2 x 2 3/4 x 1” so it is a good size and will hold plenty of treats or a small gift.

Abundant Beauty & Rustic Crate For You SD 2023 Sneak Peeks

 Hello everyone!  Sorry for my absence last week.  I had a lot going on and was replacing our kitchen sink when I should have been live.  That, along with the heat in my studio and a trip to the airport at 2 am, was just too much for one day.  

Anyhoo, let’s get started with the projects for this week.  My featured product is the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks which will be available to the public on September 6.  For today’s card, I paired it with the Rustic Crate bundle which is also available on September 6.  I’ve tried to show how versatile these masks and how you can use them for all all occasions, simply by adding some different sentiments and a focal image.  To see how I put this card together, and to see other card samples, please watch the YouTube replay HERE:
