Quietfire Guest Designer

Hi Everyone!!!! I am here to showcase a card that I made as a guest designer for Quietfire Design. Thanks Suzanne for giving me the chance to "play" with some of your wonderful stamps and for letting me participate in the new release blog hop.  I had a blast.

Double Dutch Fold Card* ©Dawn Bennett *links go to www.quietfiredesign.ca each link will open a new window. When you are finished looking at the new page, just close it and you will return here!

Supplies Quietfire Design Rubber stamps: The Hum of the Bees, Garden Delights oval from the Garden Delights set Spellbinders: Grand Labels 4 Floral Ovals Embossing folder of choice - something with an overall pattern cardstock (cream and pink) for the cardbase: 5 ½ x 11" for the dutch fold bottom: 3 x 11" Scor-it Board Adhesives tapes and Pop Dots Embellishments as desired; Pearls, Ribbon

Instructions
The basic directions for a Double Dutch Fold card can be found HERE on the Splitcoast Stampers website.  Their directions make a 4 ¼ x 6 inch card.  I prefer a little bit larger cards, so I modified the directions to make a bigger card; my size is   5 1/2 x 7 inches.

Making the Double Dutch Card 1. Cut a 5 ½ x 11 inch piece (#1) of cardstock for the base and score at 4 inches.  Fold on the score line. 2. Emboss the large flap using an embossing folder. 3. Cut a 3 x 11 inch piece (#2) of cardstock for the dutch fold bottom and score at 2 ¾ and 8 ¼".  Fold on the score lines to create 2 flaps like a gate fold card. Take the 3 x 11 inch piece and attach the center panel to the back of the 5 ½ x 11 inch piece. See illustration. (If you look at the splitcoast link, you will see a picture of where to attach) You should have double folds on the left and right side and another fold at the top.  The top flap should line up with the double fold flaps at approximately 4 inches from the top.

Details and Embellishing! For the main embellishment, cut the #3 die from Spellbinders Grand Labels 4 (the 3rd smallest die) from cream colored cardstock.  From pink cardstock I cut the largest die in the Spellbinders Floral Ovals.  The sentiment “Garden Delights” from the Garden Delights stamp set  was stamped onto cream cardstock and then die cut using the Spellbinders Floral Ovals larger die. Then cut around the pierced line in the center of the inside of the cut out to create an oval. Then using my Spellbinder Ovals, I cut out a larger pink oval and a smaller oval from cream cardstock.  “The Hum of Bees”, was stamped onto cream cardstock and die cut with an oval.  All the pieces were layered using pop dots to give it a little bit of dimension. This layered panel was attached to the top panel which was embossed. For the bottom 2 flaps, I attached a piece of cream card stock and added some sparkly lace that I had in my stash and also made a bow using a pearl brad in the center from the same lace.  Then I added a few pearls to the corners.   For the inside, I just layered a piece of cream card stock to be able to write whatever you want.

Bonsoir

Hello everyone!! I am here on this wonderful Friday with a card that uses a couple of stamps from the new Sheena's A Little Bit Scenic Provence stamp set. I hope you enjoy it.

I used the grape vines and the door with table on my card today.

I colored my stamped images using the Spectrum Noir markers. The door is colored using TN2, TN7 and TN8. The trim and the table and chairs is colored using TB3 and TB2.  The flowers using PL1 and PL2 with DG2 and DG3 for the leaves. I used IG2 for the ground.  The grapes are colored using LV1 and LV2 and DG2 and DG3 for the leaves. I fussy cut out my grape vines and popped them up on my main card image.  I used a border punch for my side borders and a tag die to cut out my Bonsoir sentiment.  Hope you like this very simple card today.

See you all next Friday!!!

Enough chit chat and now my card using these awesome new Beautiful Days Stamps:

 I used "9203-P, Daisies & Butterfly" on this card along with the "9206-H, Beautiful Days" sentiment.
My daisies are colored using copics.  I then fussy cut around the image and popped it up on my card.  The sentiment is cut out using one of my tag dies and also popped up on my card.

Here is another card using the "9203-P Daisies & Butterfly":

This time I stamped the image onto vellum and added some sparkling embossing powder and heat embossed it.  I then did some parchment crafting and colored using Memento markers on the back side of the parchment.  I added some ribbon and a bow.

My next project uses the "9205-O, Hydrangea":

My image is stamped onto white card stock and colored using copics.  I used a border punch to create my edging.  I added a few pearls to finish off my card.
