Gnome For The Holidays Pop & Twist Fun Fold

This cute little Christmas gnome is hiding a surprise

Aren't these gnomes adorable?!

I've coloured them with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers in Real Red and Shaded Spruce. "Them?" you say. Well, this is a Pop & Twist fun fold card - so there are more gnomes inside!

It's a Pop & Twist fun fold card featuring the gorgeous Gnome For The Holidays stamp set

I used the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper to decorate the card and thought that the wood grain paper would go well with the image of the gnomes' tree house.

I used Stampin' Blends alcohol markers to colour the gnome images

The last image, below, of the card beginning to open gives a better idea of the Pop & Twist mechanism. There are many great tutorials for this cute fun fold, so I'm not going to add to the plethora - google Pop & Twist and you'll be able tochoose your favourite tutorial.

This image gives an idea of the mechanism for the pop & twist fun fold

Carousel Birthday Twist & Pop

I love the Cupcakes & Carousels Designer Series Paper and have been guilty of storing it rather than using it: #loveitchopit !! I also had a spare Twist & Pop card left over from demonstrating at our last card-making gathering.

The ferris wheel image is echoed in the background paper

The image and greeting are stamped with Basic Black ink onto Very Vanilla card. I added some sponging with Soft Sky ink as well as some edging with Basic Black ink. I partially cut the ferris wheel with a Layering Circle die (using the Out of the Box technique to preserve the cupcakes) and adhered it to a larger Soft Sky circle that I'd edged with black ink.

I stamped, coloured and cut more cupcakes and popped them into position with little pieces of Foam Adhesive.

The dimension on the cupcakes and the greeting can be seen from the side

There are many great tutorials available for this clever fun fold

I decorated the inside of the card with more of the Cupcakes & Carousels paper as well as some Bermuda Bay layers on the four central panels.

I stamped the horse four times with Basic Black ink on Very Vanilla card, coloured them with Watercolour Pencils and an Aqua Painter and then cut them out. I did give the poles, the manes and tails a base coat with a Soft Sky Stampin' Write Marker before adding a little shading with the Bermuda Bay Watercolor Pencil.

I stuck them to the panels at different heights to (hopefully) give the impression of the horses going up and down on a carousel.

The horses are grey with pale blue manes & tails. The colours for their livery are taken from the paper

I stamped the tents with Basic Black ink onto the patterned paper and then again onto Soft Sky card. I cut around the Soft Sky tents and glued them into position.

The area of writing a greeting is a piece of Very Vanilla card, cut with one of the Lots of Labels dies and edged with Basic Black ink.

The horses are at different levels to give the appearance of a carousel

International Blog Highlight - December 2016 - Up & Away Retirement Card

Thanks for coming to my blog today! We are being highlighted internationally by Kylie Bertucci and you are able to VOTE for my project. The top ten winners will get to be part of an international blog hop so please vote for my project. You can do that here.

Our theme for this highlight is encouragement as we all need a kind word said to us to build us up.

The simple front of this card hides a secret!

This is a card that I made for a very valued staff member (they're ALL very valued!) who is retiring this week. It's a Twist and Pop fun fold .

The Wild About Flowers stamp set is great for retirement sentiments

I thought the balloons and mountain scenery were appropriate for someone who will probably travel a bit in her retirement.

Mix and match the Lift Me Up stamp Set, Up & Away Thinlits and Carried Away paper for great results

I added just a touch of shading with the new Watercolour Pencils and an Aquapainter

Creating an oblong with a square Stitched Shapes framelit is very easy

The really special bit is inside the card. Once it has twisted and popped, she'll have photographic mementos of her colleagues and fun times.

I haven't added to the plethora of tutorials for Twist and Pop cards. If you've never made one but would like to - just google "Twist & Pop Card" and you'll have plenty to choose from.

If you'd like more information about any of the techniques or products I've used - please feel free to contact me.

The Carried Away Designer Series Paper will be available for FREE from 4th January to 31st March with a purchase of $90. It matches perfectly with the Lift Me Up Bundle in the new Occasions Catalogue (available 4th January) - so I'm sure you'll want to take advantage of that special offer.

If you live in Australia, don't currently have a Stampin' Up! Distributor, don't yet have a copy of the catalogues but would like to .... do let me know by contacting me.

Thanks for visiting my blog today make sure you head over to Kylie's blog - to vote for my project. I would love to be chosen to do an international blog hop.

'Til next time!
