Angela's PaperArts: Splendid Day birthday card

I made this birthday card for my niece.  It features the gorgeous Splendid Day foiled designer series paper.  This paper is very shiny and I show all the papers included in this pack in the first part of my gatefold shutter card video.

I also used one of the Split Card Textures dies to diecut part of this paper for added interest.  The sentiment is from the Framed Occasions stamp set and I diecut it using the Beautiful Shapes dies.

You can find the products used on this card in my online store.

Angela's PaperArts: Hello Brightest Beauty cards

When you have a large number of cards to make, the Stampin' Up! Stamparatus is such a helpful tool. I used it to make a large number of these cards.

I set up the two Stamparatus plates with the new Stampin' Up! Brightest Beauty stamps that I wanted to use (which also have co-ordinating dies) - one plate for the Old Olive ink and the other for the Crushed Curry ink.

Using the Stamparatus sped up the stamping process immensely.  Don't you just love this new wattle stamp from the Brightest Beauty stamp set?  It has me looking forward to Spring.

You can find the products used on these cards in my online store.

Angela's PaperArts: Splendid Day gatefold shutter birthday card & tutorial

I made this gatefold shutter card for my Mum's recent birthday.  As soon as I saw the new Stampin' Up! Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper, I knew this would be perfect for my project.

Here's the front of the card.

The shutter card is based on the concept of a camera's shutter mechanism. Here's the card partially opened and you can see that the centre focal section is currently white as the shutters are closed. 

Here's the fully opened inside of the card. As the card is opened further, the shutters open and the 'best wishes' sentiment from the Artistically Ink stamp set is revealed. 

The other sentiments and most embellishments used on this card are from the Artistically Inked stamp set and Artistic dies.

Video tutorial
I made a unplanned, last minute decision to video creating this card. It's unedited but has all the dimensions and products I used, along with some tips for creating this style of card which you may find useful.  You can see the video here:
