Gliding Garden Swing Birthday Card

Hello and welcome to my blog!  Today I'm sharing a cute card I made with the Gliding Garden Swing Bundle. At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Check it out. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom. Let's look at a few details of this card.

Here is the front of the card. The card base is a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Balmy Blue cardstock. I used a brush to randomly smear White Craft Ink to mimic some clouds in the sky.  

All the leaves in the tree were cut with the dies from Gliding Garden Swing out of paper from the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper. I loved this sheet because it looked so much like leaves.

The tree, which is also a die from Gliding Garden Swing, was cut out of a sheet from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper. The piece I picked I felt was too light of a wood grain, so I brushed Early Espresso ink on the tree to darken it. The grass you see across the bottom was cut out of Garden Green cardstock with dies from Scenic Adventure.

The swing was also cut from a sheet of Country Woods Designer Series Paper. The pillows were cut from Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper. Both dies are from Gliding Garden Swing dies.

The inside Basic White piece was cut with the largest die from Textured Notes Dies. The Simple Birthday stamp was stamped in Garden Green ink.

One last look at the front.

Dutch Door Fold with Fragrant Layers Dies and Beautifully Celebrated Dies Stamping with Friends Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I'm hopping with a talented group of Stamping with Friends demonstrators. I'm going to show you how to make a gorgeous Dutch-door fold card using the Fragrant Layers dies and the Beautifully Celebrated dies. Several beautiful designer series papers are also used. At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Check it out. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom.

Here is the front of the card. From this picture it is hard to see the Dutch-fold.

The next 2 pictures show the bottom section of the card opening up. To achieve this fold, start with 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Pool Party cardstock. Score it down the middle at 4 1/4". Next, measure 2 3/4" down on the front left side and cut to the middle score line. 

The paper on the bottom front of the card is a 4" x 2 1/2" piece from Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Paper.

The top section was embossed with the All in a Row Embossing Folder and adhered down to the card base.

The silver scalloped oval was cut out of a piece of Cloud Cover foil from Flower Garden Foil Specialty Paper with a die from Beautifully Celebrated Dies. The flower was cut with a Fragrant Layers die out of Lemon Lolly Pastels Shimmer Specialty Designer Series Paper. The Pool Party Pastel Shimmer paper is used to cut the smaller flower. The leaves are Coastal Cabana card stock.

Here's how I stamped the inside sentiment with stamps from Charming Day.

The flower centers are from the Frosted Iridescent Dots.

I hope you will give this card a try. To download your free tutorial, just click on the box below.
