Special wishes twist-fold card

When I first discovered the twist-fold technique I wasn't too keen on it, then I gave it a go.  I have to say I love this fold technique now, and it's such fun to do.  There are plenty of video tutorials on all the www's.  Unfortunately I haven't got into making my own videos yet, it's still on my list of things to do.

Anyway back to the card.  I used the awesome Special Reason stamp set and coordinating dies, Stylish Stems Framelits, which you will find in the 2017 Spring/Summer catalogue.  Also available as a bundle saving you 10%.

It's a relatively easy card to make even though it looks complicated. I will be making more of these for sure.

Thank you so much for stopping by x

I also made a little notelet to go with the card...

Many Thanks Bumble Bee

Isn't this bee cute?  It's from the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set.  And did you notice the embossed background?  I used the new Hexagons Dynamic folder.  Our dynamic folders create deep, dimensional embossed impressions.  Both sides are awesome.  Unfortunately the photo doesn't do this card justice.

I used the Stitched Framelits dies for the layering squares.  The DSP is from the Cupcakes and Carousels stack, in the spring/summer catalogue. I finished off with a bow tied on to a mini paper clip.

Dragonfly Thank You

This is the first time I have used vellum/parchment as a base card.  It is of course Stampin' Up's Vellum Cardstock.  I'm not sure if it would work on it's own, I will have to try, but with the insert it's definitely awesome. The card is a regular UK A6 size and the insert is 3" wide Thick Whisper White card stock.

I heat embossed, in white, the dotty stamp from Dragonfly Dreams on the card and tag front and on the insert I stamped the dots in Perfect Plum, Marina Mist and So Saffron.  For the dragonfly I used the smaller of the two intricate dies from the set and the greeting is from Rose Wonder. 

We made this card and tag at one of my recent classes but with different greetings.  I chose Thank you because I make A LOT of thank you cards.  I added clear Wink of Stella on the dragonfly and finished off with a few sequins and rhinestones - both really lovely in real life but not captured in the photos.

And here's a hexagon box made with the new Window Box Thinlits dies.  This is the first box I have made with this set and I didn't do a very good job of it but thought I'd share anyway...
