Hello Sunshine

 Hi there and welcome back to my wee creative space in the world.

Today I'm sharing a little creativity - a little black, a little yellow and a little white - gorgeous colour combination and I'm using the latest card collection from the team at 3Quarter Designs and it's called 'hello sunshine' - appropriately named.




as you can see, I've even had a play by adding a round mirror

have to say it made it a little tricky when it came time to take the photo - but I got there



These colours definitely brightened my day and remember too that it is in the middle of winter in my part of the world - so colours that brighten ones day - well it truly does give you those warm fuzzies when you are creating.

Must go - keep warm and dry my friends and if you are living in my part of the world, hope you are finding a little more time to be creative now the the weather isn't playing nicely.

Until next time,

CYA

Blooming Friendship creativity

Hi everyone,

I'm back to share a little creativity using Couture Creations 'Blooming Friendship' paper collection.

A card that is a gift in itself.  A double pouch card.

The front of the card ... it has a pouch that has another card in it.



The back of the card ... that has a pouch with a tag tucked inside.


Let's get started.

Cut a piece of white cardstock 4 1/4" x 12".

Turn on its side and score at 1 3/4", 6", 10 1/4".

Cut patterned paper panels :

2 pieces 1 3/4" x 4 1/4"

2 pieces 4 1/4" x 4 1/4"

Turn cardstock on its side and score and stand just like in the photo.

Adhere patterned paper to the two inside panels as pictured.

Adhere the patterned paper to the two end panels - on the side showing underneath the white cardstock.

Using a 1" circle punch cut out a piece similar to a half moon [but not quite that big].  Does that make sense?




Now you can see the other side of the smaller fold that makes the pouch.


Cut four pieces of patterned paper 1" x 1 3/4" and score in half lengthwise to make a hinge.  It makes the hinge less bulky if you use patterned paper for the hinge instead of cardstock.

Adhere double sided tape - trim if required.


With a pair of scissors angle cut each end and adhere to the inside along the edge to form the pouch so that it closes neatly.





I've made a tag to tuck inside one of the pouches.



I've made a card to tuck inside the pouch on the front of the card.

This card was made loosely around the idea of the hinge card that was in one of the weekly kits that Daisy Chain Scrapbooks have available for sale.

Fabulous weekly card kits and they include written instructions.









Card and tag ...


and here is inside the pouch card itself ...


Instead of making a tag you could purchase a gift card and tuck it inside the pouch.

Happy crafting everyone.
Until next time
