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.

Coneflower Celebration card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing projects showcasing the paper piecing technique. I have made my card using the Coneflower Celebration stamp set and the Thoughtful Journey designer series paper (dsp).

Colours in my card are:

 

To recreate the coneflower celebration card, you will need:

Lost Lagoon card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Secret Sea card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner – for the inside
Scrap Thoughtful Journey dsp

 

Using Secret Sea ink, I stamped the head of the coneflower onto the 5⅜” by 3⅝” piece of Basic White card. This helps with placement when putting the card pieces together.

The sentiment was stamped in Lost Lagoon ink at the bottom of the panel and added the whole layer to the Secret Sea panel and added this to the Lost Lagoon card front.
