Today I have a card to share with you. It’s called a double tri-fold cascade card. A couple of weeks ago a few of us tried our hands at making the base to which we would adhere flowers.
Today I assembled the flowers and created the card. I used stamps from Just For Fun and the flowers are various shapes from the McGill Paper Blossoms collection. I began layering various flowers and this is what I came up with.
Here’s a side view which shows the cascading effect.
and view from overhead.
I attached the flowers to Tree and Branch shapes from the Tree Dimensional punch so the flowers would be able to rise above the folds of the card front.
This card was fun to make and I see many more on the horizon.
Supplies used:
McGill: Buttercup, Starflower, Petite Petals, Starburst, Mini Petals, Daisy, Fancy Square, Straight Square, Leaf Spray
Just For Fun Rubber Stamps: B3606-May all your wishes…, UMS7015-Happy Birthday Unmounted Sheet, D3133-Branch Bouquet
Enjoy!

Today I have a card to share with you. It features the Silhouettes and Shadows line of punches along with the McGill Flower of the Month, the Clematis.
I have a quick tutorial on how to make the punched border and sentiment accent over on the McGill blog. Hop on over and take a look at how easy it is to create! You can find the instructions to make the Clematis here.

I was reading Practical Solutions for Paper Crafters and came across a link to an article on how to make your own Light Tent. I headed to my local Lowes Home Improvement store and bought the supplies listed.
I made mine with 18″ pieces instead of 24″ and was able to get six per 10 ft. PVC pipe.
I’ll also use thinner sheet than this one. It was the only one I had and it’s a bit heavier than needed. I got good results but feel that the thinner sheet will let in a bit more light. Below is my first photo using my new light tent.
I could not wait to try it out as I’ve been looking for an economical way to make a light tent. I hope you will take a stab a making one of these and if you do I’d love to hear from you.
Enjoy!

Today I have a card to share with you. It features the Stitched with Love stamp set from StampingScrappingDesigns and the Tim Holtz Sewing Room die.
Below you can see the details that make this dress come to life. I used the Swiss dot embossing folder to add detail to the bodice, then I used the Scor-Pal to add pleats to the bottom of the dress, some ribbon at the waist as well as pearls on the neckline.
This card makes me think of all the little girls who will be getting new dresses for Easter. Whether their mothers make it for them or they get to go to the store and pick it out. One thing for sure, we know Spring is in the air!
Enjoy!

I’m back with my next project for the StampingScrapping Design Team. Today I’d like to share a card I made using the McGill Paper Blossoms line of punches. My card features a new flower, the Allium.
This is a very easy flower to make as it only requires one punch, the Starburst. For complete instructions you can download instructions from the McGill web site or if you are a member of the StampingScrapping Ning group, you can watch a step by step video on how I made this flower.
Enjoy!

I’m back today with another card using the NEW Silhouettes and Shadows Heart and Square punch sets from McGill Inc.
I stamped the Silhouette Heart shape with black ink onto white card stock then, lined up the image with the Shadow Heart and punched it out.
To add more detail, I cut the Silhouette Square shape into quarters then glued it to the back of each Heart shape.
To create the focal embellishment, glue each Heart shape to a Star Shadow punch until there were evenly spaced.
Punch two pink and one black with the Square Shadow punch as well as white with the Square Silhouette to complete the center. Embellish with a rhinestone in the center.
I hope you have enjoyed another way to use the McGill Silhouettes and Shadow punches to create three dimensional embellishments for your cards or scrapbook pages.
Enjoy!

McGill Inc. has just releases five NEW punch collections and they are called Silhouette and Shadows. There are two punches in each set. One is a detailed Silhouette Shape and one Shadow background shape and both are perfect for layering.
Here’s just one of the projects I made using the Heart set.
I made the background paper by punching both shapes from Fun Foam to make stamps.
Punch Shadow Heart punch from Fun Foam. Attach to acrylic block with double sided tape.
Randomly stamp Shadow Heart image with Angel Pink ink on white card stock.
Punch Silhouette Heart from Fun Foam, attach to acrylic block with double sided tape.
With the Silhouette Heart shape, go back with Rose Bud ink and stamp over the Shadow image.
To make the accent I punched the Silhouette Heart from pink card stock and the Shadow Heart from black card stock. Adhering them together with a glue pen then mounting on Stacking Square and Fancy Square punches with foam tape.
I’ll be back tomorrow with another card featuring the Silhouettes and Shadows Heart punches.
Enjoy!
