Gilded Autumn Twisted Easel card

I love using Designer Series Papers which have a touch of foil in them.  I couldn't resist the Stampin' Up! Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper with its beautiful foiled elements and made this twisted easel birthday card using two of the designs in this paper pack.

One of the things I don't usually like about Twisted Easel cards is the prominent diagonal scoreline on the front of the card.  So I decided to cover it up by using one of the floral border dies from the Ornate Borders die set.

Here's how it looks closed with the floral border largely covering the scoreline.

The sentiments stamped in Mint Macaron ink are from the Stampin' Up! Best Years stamp set.

If you'd like to learn how to make this style of card, please contact me as various online classes are available to Australian residents to complete at their leisure.  I'll return to in person classes sometime in the future once the COVID-19 pandemic allows us to safely gather and craft with shared supplies again.

Best year father's day card

 I'd like to wish all the Dads a very Happy Father's Day this Sunday.  This card was made for my Scottish Dad in the colours of my family's tartan (seen on the right side of the picture).  

The Stampin' Up! Best Plaid Builder dies made it easy to re-create the family's tartan as a background for this card.  I also used the co-ordinating Best Year stamp set and combined two of its sentiments to create the card's sentiment.  

Here's a larger photo of the card by itself.  The colour scheme is Whisper White, Basic Black ,Night of Navy and Shaded Spruce.

We'll be making this style of card in my September class along with two other cards, one of which is a Twisted Easel special fold card.  My online classes are available to anyone living in Australia.  Please contact me for details.
