Ink Stamp Share Showcase Blog Hop!

Saturday 10 December 2022 United Kingdom


Welcome to the Ink Stamp Share Showcase blog hop!


There is no theme today - although you'll find we have all used products from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue or Mini Catalogue.


I'm so behind with my Christmas card making this year so I am really happy to have created these two fun cards this morning in my craft room. 

I have a dreadful cold but I need to keep mysekf focussed today on getting my Christmas cards done as our post office is striking and it would be a miracle if my cards reach the recipients in time for Christmas!


After a busy week at work, it was lovely to do some fussy cutting this morning, it is great for mindfullness - I find it really calming. 

I've used the sold out Storybook Gnomes DSP for both the background and the animals - aren't they cute?

 

I love this style of card - I think it's called a book binding card?

I've got several cards on my blog and a few YouTube videos sharing a simialr design. This design is more simple, using my trusty Layering Circle dies to create the feature on this Balmy Blue card. 


Here are the measurements for this card:

Balmy Blue Card base
  • 29.8cm x 10.5cm, score at 14.9cm
  • Score 10.5cm from each end
  • I find it more accurate to fold the card in half and then score 10.5cm from the open end so that it scores through both pieces
Basic White Cardstock 
  • 10.1cm x 10.1cm - quantity 2 (1 piece for the inside)
  • 10.1cm x 3.9cm - quantity 1
DSP 
  • 9.7cm x 9.7cm - quantity 1
  • 9.7cm x 3.5cm - quantity 1
