Betsy's Blossoms Twist Fold Card

One more using Betsy's Blossoms stamp set and Betsy's Blooms wheel. Same colours as yesterday and a similar design but showcased on this great new fold.  It's called the Twist Fold and I first saw it on Sandi MacIver's blog. Sandi also shares a video tutorial for the fold - thank you Sandi.

I've since seen it on many other blogs and had to have a go myself.  I will be including a twist fold card as a project in November's class for sure. We'll use a different stamp set though, I must give Betsy's Blossoms a rest for a little while.

Keeping with Betsy's Blossoms

This isn't a new design, it's the same as this one I made for Mojo Monday 259 a few weeks ago but in different colours - Perfect Plum, and new in colours Midnight Muse and Summer Starfruit - which I really like. It's one of the projects we made in class earlier this month using the masking technique.  Love these colours together...

Betsy's Blossoms in new colours

Happy Sunday crafters. I thought it was about time I showcased the five new 2012-2014 in colours (better late than never). They launched in the UK on 1st September in the new seasonal autumn/winter catalogue.  I made these 4 1/8" square thank you cards this morning.  Why 4 1/8"?  Well A4 card is 8 1/4" across.  So you get two from one A4 sheet with a bit left over for layering toppers, etc.

I used the new Betsy's Blossoms stamp set for all the cards, starting with the top row from the left: Summer Starfruit and Gumball Green; and bottom row from the left: Primrose Petals, Midnight Muse and Raspberry Ripple. I best get back to preparing for class this week. Thanks for visiting...

 

 

Perfect Postage at ColourQ

This week's colours at ColourQ appealed to me because I love pink. The colours are Pink Pirouette, Melon Mambo, Basic Gray and Basic Black. This is quite a simple card quickly put together because I was able to use some of the 'scraps' in my stash, which actually needed very little trimming - so it all came together with very little effort. We all have a stash of 'scraps' and isn't it great when you're able to use some of it up?
