Recently
Sparkle N Sprinkle had a blog hop featuring “Fantastic Folds”. I had so much fun doing this, trying some new
folds and refreshing some old folds. May
card today is an older fold that I had not used for quite awhile, combined with
a technique to create a background.
This
card uses the cute little frog and sentiment from SNS’s new Just Froggy
set. I created a “lily pad” for the
sentiment by trimming a die cut circle.
I colored the little frog by pressing the stamped image into two
different dye inks I smooshed onto a craft pad and lightly spritzed with
water. I dried it with a heat tool and
cut it out.
The
background is created by pressing the round sponge tip of a white distress
stain onto green cardstock and drying with a heat tool. Then I doodled with a glue pen and added
Meadow Spark glitter to create a fun frame.
Now
for the fun fold. Check out this cute
inside. I added a cute dragonfly with
sparkly Waterscape glitter wings and a cattail my sweet friend, Kim, cut out for
me with her electronic cutter. The
sentiment is cut out with a label die and popped up with dimensionals. As far as this cute froggy fold……please join
me on Sunday, Feb. 3rd on the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog for a full
turtorial.
Well,
I am off to a stamp convention this weekend with my friends, Cheryl and Susan, and
will get to meet two of my fellow SNS designers. I know we will have a great time.
See
you on Sunday!!
