To The Beach Folio for Tutti Designs Dies

Hello! Jenn here today, sharing with you this fun folio I created using the newly released dies from Tutti Designs along with the Seafarer paper collection from Authentique!

For my fun beach folio, I have used three of the 11 newly released beach themed dies from Tutti

Tutti 442 - Ship In A Bottle

Tutti 449 - Mermaid

Tutti 448 - Seashell Corner

I used dies from the Tutti 414 - Dotted Nesting Rectangles set as well

I also used

Distress Ink Fired Brick and Stormy Sky

Distress Pain Picket Fence

Adhesive tape runner

Glue stick

Foam adhesive

Jute

Ribbon

Flowers

Navy cardstock

Medium weight chipboard

All of the designer papers, cutouts, and sticker elements are from Authentique's Seafarer Collection

This folio card started as a base in which I used a tutorial by Kathy Wright Clement. Kathy has some great tutorials for fun folds and folios on her YouTube channel HERE.

Once my base was built, I added lots of fun embellishments, cut-outs, sentiments, and journaling cards. I added many elements on the pages to allow for pictures to easily be added as well. Please head over to the Tutti Designs blog for a picture walkthrough of this fun folio HERE.!

Once you build a base for a fun fold card or folio such as this, there are endless possibilities to what you can create!

Love Is All You Need Card for Tutti Designs Dies

Hello there, Jenn here today sharing another adorable card made with the amazing Tutti Designs Dies! This card was so much fun! I used Bo Bunny's Garden Party Paper Collection.

The Tutti Design Dies Used here:

Dotted Nesting Rectangles

This set comes with 8 different sizes! I have used three for this card.

For this card I also used the following supplies and tools:

Die Cut Machine

Scissors

Adhesive foam Squares

Glue stick

Tape runner

Distress Ink in Vintage Photo (for inking paper edges)

Green and black cardstock

5X6 1/2" card base

Flower

You can also create your own card base using a 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of heavy black cardstock.

Cut it to 10" X 6 1/2" Place on a scoring pad lengthwise (10") and score at 5 fold and burnish.

Cuts needed for this card:

Die-Cuts

3.875" X 2.625" rectangle 1 from black cardstock 1 from patterned

3.5" X 2.25" rectangle - Sentiment cut-out (front)

4.25" X 3" rectangle 1 from black cardstock, 1 from patterned

Other Cuts

2 - 6" X 4 1/2" - green cardstock for inside and 1 for front

2 strips of black cardstock 4 1/2" X 1 1/4"

2 strips of patterned 4 1/4" X 1"

(these are for the top and bottom panels on the front)

Fussy Cuts

Mason Jar, Flowers, 2 potted succulents all from designer paper collection

Ink the edges of the pieces shown below:

Assemble the card as follows:

Start with the inside: Place green panel down using tape runner gun. Add the black die-cut rectangle and layer the die-cut lines on top. Add one of the fussy cut potted plants as an accent.

On to the front!

Place the green cardstock panel down with a tape runner. Using a glue stick adhere the patterned cut outstrips to the black strips and then onto the top and bottom of the card front. Layer the large die cut patterned rectangle with the remaining black die cut rectangle using glue stick. Place foam adhesive squares to the back of the die cut sentiment and layer on top.

Add a flower embellishment, fussy cuts, and any other elements you wish and now you have an adorable card to give to a friend!

Here is a closer view of the amazing dotted detail these dies give to your cards.

Timeless for Blank Page Muse

Timeless

It is time for another fun challenge over at the Blank Page Muse Stamps blog! This month the theme is black and white plus one. This was an easy choice for me because purple is my favorite color.

For all the details on the challenge and to see the rest of the teams amazing creations click on the picture link below!!

For my "Timeless" project I used the following Blank Page Muse stamps

Dragonfly Top View

Fairies and Blossoms 2

Correspondence

Also available at Blank Page Muse are the amazing Baked Textures from Seth Apter! I used the Rocky Road.

Other Supplies:

Small plaque

paper clay molded flowers

paper flowers

Art Alchemy Opal Magic paint in violet-green

Black gesso

White Acrylic Paint

Black Archival Inkpad

wooden oval label

paperclay molded clock

white cardstock

chipboard

cardboard scraps

hot glue

stencil

Texture paste 

Tape runner

Hot glue and a glue gun

purple spray ink

White inkpad

clear embossing ink

clear embossing powder

Here is how I created mine:

Start with the plaque prep. Add some texture by stenciling with texture paste and let that dry.Coat with black gesso and allow to dry completely. Use white ink to do some random stamping (Correspondence script stamp). Add some splatters of watered down white acrylic paint. Add some baked texture in random areas including the edges using embossing ink. Heat set with a heat tool and set aside.

Next prep the dragonflies and other stamps. Use black archival ink to stamp two dragonflies. Coat both with clear embossing powder and heat set. Spray one with a purple ink spray. Set them aside to dry. Stamp the others from the Fairies and Blossoms stamps and clear emboss these as well.

Adhere the purple dragonfly stamped image to a piece of medium chipboard and fussy cut. Fussy cut all of the other stamped images as well.

Start adhering molded paperclay flowers and clock to the plaque. Coat them with black gesso and once they are dry add the purple using Art Alchemy Opal Magic paint.

Paint the small wooden label white and ink the edges in black archival ink using a sponge applicator. Add a sentiment sticker and adhere to the top of the plaque.

To add dimension, add cardboard scraps stacked on the back of the dragonfly as shown below before placing on the plaque. Layer the black and white stamped dragonfly on top of the purple one by adding a strip of adhesive or glue to just the middle and then slightly bend the wings to show the purple below.

Finish it off by adding white paper flowers and some more splatters of watered down white acrylic paint.

Here are a few close-ups showing all of the great detail and texture.

Thanks so much for viewing my blog today! I hope that you enjoyed my project and that you will join in the fun challenge at The Blank Page Muse Stamps!!

I love to use Graphic 45 papers for my cards. The colors, quality, and versatility are unmatched. They have so many coordinating parts in their collections that lend themselves so well for those who love to fussy cut like myself. I find that by combining die-cuts and fussy cutting, I am able to bring to life the story within these beautiful papers.

To Create the Easter Card the following supplies were used:

5X7 Card Base

Graphic 45 Designer papers from Children's Hour and Time To Flourish

Yellow cardstock

Xyron tape runner

Deco Art Paints (flowers)

Cut strips of patterned for various places to embellish the card

Fussy cut Fairies

Build the card

Inside - Place yellow cardstock as the background layer

place one of the die cut rectangles on top and one on bottom

Add a strip of the patterned border in between as shown.

Add one of the die cut oval eggs, fussy cut stamp, and a cut-out sentiment from designer papers.

Front of card

Adhere the layers to the front of the card including the negative from picture die cut into the oval.

Use foam adhesive squares to lift up the oval die-cut portion and place on top

Add flowers, die-cut oval eggs, sentiment, and fussy cut fairies.

I added some sparkle with Nuvo Crystal Drops, DecoArt Pearlizing Medium, and a green flower jewel.

Here is the finished card at an angle showing the dimensions and layers.

Here is another fun card using the Children's Hour collection! I plan to make one from every theme included in this beautiful collection!

For my second project, I have created a beautiful Fairy Garden shadow box using the Gorgeous Fairy Dust collection! I was so excited when this collection was released and knew I wanted to do something special with it. This was a creation inspired by my newly born granddaughter, Olyvia and is meant to hold her picture inside.

I have many photos below to show the amazing detail and dimension of my shadowbox. I really loved creating this!

Thanks so much for viewing my audition projects!
