Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are working it a dice roll challenge. We are creating projects featuring – neutrals, a fancy fold, a punch or die cut, a trinket and the sentiment ‘for you’.
I created the flowers fair overlay card using the following supplies:
Thick Basic White card base – 5⅞”” by 5⅛ scored on the short-side at 4⅛” Thick Basic White – 4⅛ by 3⅛” Basic White – 3¼” by 3” Seasons of Elegance dsp – 5¾” by ¾” Seasons of Elegance dsp – 4” by 1¼” x 2 Scrap Basic White

As the Flowers Fair stamp is large, I used a Stamp Positioner to stamp the image onto the 3¼” by 3” piece of Basic White card using Early Espresso ink.

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing fun fold cards. Love a fun fold and decided to make a garden themed floating inner card using the gorgeous Help Me Grow stamp set and dies.
I created the pretty pink floral card using the following supplies:
Cajun Craze card – 5¾” by 4⅛” x 2 Basic White card – 5½” by 3⅞” x 3 Painted Illusions dsp – 5⅜” by 3¾” x 3 Basic White card – 4½” by 3½”
Thick Basic White card – 11” by 4” scored at 2¾”, 5½” & 8¼” Petal Pink card – 3¾” by 2½” x 4 x 4 Painted Illusions dsp – 3⅝” by 2⅜” x 4 Basic White card – 3½” by 2¼” x 4 Scrap Basic White, Lemon Lolly, Granny Apple Green, Pretty Peacock, Cajun Craze, Pecan Pie & Silver Foil
The larger panels of Painted Illusions dsp were adhered to the three larger pieces of Basic White card. Two of these dsp pieces were then glued to the larger Basic White panels, one on the front and the other on the back – this will be the front of the card. The last panel was then glued to the front of the remaining large piece of Cajun Craze card.

The four smaller panels of Painted Illusions dsp were glued to the four smaller pieces of Cajun Craze card and adhered them to the 4 panels of the 11” by 4” Basic White card. This is the floating inner panel.

The left-hand panel of the floating inner was placed onto the back of the front panel, lined up with the edge of the Basic White layer and glued into position. I repeated this step with right-hand panel and the back part of the card base.

Using the Every Day Arches Dies I cut a large arch from the 4½” by 3½” of Basic White card. I also cut 4 smaller arches from the 3½” by 2¼” pieces of Basic White card.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Help Me Grow stamp set and dies used to make a floating inner panel card – Stamping Inspirations Blog Hop
I used a Blending Brush to add some Lemon Lolly ink to the die cut arches before adhering them to the card.

Let the decorating begin – for the front I stamped, and die cut a pot using Cajun Craze ink. I die cut the saucer from Basic White scrap and added Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow ink with Sponge Daubers. I cut a slit at the top of the pot and added leaves, die cut from scrap Granny Apple and Pretty Peacock card. The flowers were cut from scrap Lemon Lolly and White card and the yellow centres added with a Lemon Lolly Blends Pen. All the pieces were then arranged on the card front.

A selection of pots, saucers, leaves, flowers, soil and tools were stamped and or die cut before being added to the inside of the card on the floating panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Reason to Celebrate stamp set and Sunshine and Tulips dies used to make an Easter Shaker card
Foam Adhesive Strips were added around the edge of the Window Sheet and between the rows of tulips to create separate compartments as I didn’t want all the shaker pieces to fall to the bottom of the card.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Reason to Celebrate stamp set and Sunshine and Tulips dies used to make an Easter Shaker card
I placed generous pinches of Loose Frosted Dots in lines across the card front on the dsp taking care to avoid the area where the adhesive strips would be. The backing was removed from the strips and the panel placed over top and pressed into place.

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. The pop out accordion card I am sharing today was made for a friend’s special birthday using the Petals of Beauty stamp set and dies.
I created the pop out accordion petals of beauty card using the following supplies:
Thick Basic White card base – 20cm by 15cm – scored at 5cm, 10cm & 15cm on the long-side Lost Lagoon card – 14.5cm by 4.5cm x 4 Kintsugi Inspirations dsp – 14cm by 4cm x 4
Thick Basic White card – 10cm by 7.5cm – scored at 7.5cm on the long-side Kintsugi Inspirations dsp – 9.5cm by 7cm x 2 Basic White card – 3¾” by 2¾” x 2 Scrap Basic White & Lost Lagoon card

I adhered the long panels of Kintsugi Inspirations dsp to the slightly larger pieces of Lost Lagoon card. These 4 panels were then glued to the slightly larger Thick Basic White card base which was then folded and burnished in a mountain, valley and mountain shape.

With the larger card base folded up, accordion style I adhered the left-hand side of the decorated panel to the front of the accordion panel, taking care that it would fit in a standard C6 Envelope. I repeated this step to glue the back panel of the pop out portion.

On one of the arches, I stamped the sentiment from the Coneflower Celebrations stamp set with Lost Lagoon ink. Using the same ink, I stamped the second sentiment from the Branching Out stamp set on the 2nd arch. The arches were then glued to the pop out portion of the card.
