Perfectly Pencilled Sweet Sorbet Centre Panel Card - Stampin' Birds Fun Fold Friday

Hi Everyone,

It's a while since I've done a Fun Fold Friday but Stampin' Birds are bringing it back for the month of May. This week I have made a Centre Panel card with the Perfectly Pencilled and In-Colour dsp stack and lots of colouring. Let me show you how I made it.

Scalloped Contour Dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Take Your Pick Tool

Paper Snips

Instructions

On the long side score the card stock at 1 3/8" and 2 5/8" from either end, fold and burnish to make the card base (valley, mountain, mountain, valley).

Adhere the In-Colour strips to the side panels.

Colour all the images on the Perfectly Pencilled dsp that you have chosen. I don't have the Stampin' Blends yet so I have used the ink pads and the Blender Pen. Adhere this layer to the centre panel.

Colour in two larger sets of flowers and leaves and then fussy cut them.

Die cut the two smallest scalloped rectangles, one in sweet sorbet, the other in white. Stamp the sentiment on the white layer and then add to the sweet sorbet with dimensionals. Add this to the middle of the centre panel using dimensionals. Then add the fussy cut flowers to the corners using dimensionals.

Stamp a sentiment on the remaining white layer and add to the back of the centre panel to write your message.

Add rhinestones to the centre of the larger flowers and also to some of the smaller ones too.

Another quick and easy fun fold card, I hope that you like it. Please pop over and see what Donna and Victoria have made too.

Diagonal Hinged Lid Treat Box - Stampin' Birds 3D Thursday

Hi Everyone,

The second Stampin' Birds Challenge for this week is a 3D project, I've made a diagonal hinged lid treat box using the lovely new Sweet Sorbet, I wanted to show off one of the new 2022-2024 In-Colours. There are lots of these sorts of boxes on Pinterest and YouTube and I'm not sure where I saw it first. Let me show you how I made it.

Materials

1 piece of sweet sorbet card stock 6" x 4 1/2", scrap for the sentiment

1 piece of sweet sorbet designer series paper 6" x 4 1/2"

Scraps of basic white and gold foil

In-Colour Bakers Twine to wrap around the box

Bough Punch

Flowers & Leaves Punch

Sweet Sorbet ink

Gilded Gems

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Paper Snips

Shaded Summer stamp set

Flowers of Friendship stamp set

Multipurpose adhesive

Tear and Tape

Mini Glue Dots

Instructions

Score the card stock and dsp at 1 1/2" on all 4 sides

On the dsp, draw a diagonal line as shown on the two outer, centre rectangles. Then cut as shown. Trim the tabs as shown in the photos, this is just to reduce the bulk so doesn't have to be a specific measurement, the card stock version needs two short and two longer (see picture).

Add tear and tape to the tabs on the dsp one as shown and then fold them in the make a box end, making sure that the cut edges line up with the folded edges. The other end is the hinge which will attach to the card stock box.

Add tear and tape to the tabs on the card stock now and make up the end with the shorter tabs. Then before sealing the other end, line up the dsp hinge piece and then fold over the last square piece and seal that end.

The box is now ready to fill with sweets and decorate.

I have tied In Colour twine around the box and tied a bow. Then Punch out a large scalloped oval in sweet sorbet and a smaller white one to stamp on. Stamp a sentiment from Shaded Summer and layer the two together.

Punch out a gold foil bough and stamp and punch out two of the smaller flowers from Flowers of friendship. Tuck the leaves under the twine and the adhere the sentiment label, tucked under the ribbon and just glued at one end. Add the two flowers and then add gilded gems for decoration.
