Festive Friday Challenge #0102 - Valentine's Day

Friday, 4 February 2022

It's time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  Every second Friday we post a challenge for you with a specific theme and an Inspo List of 10 items to choose from to create your project.  We encourage you to create a project based on the theme and Inspo List and then post it using at least 3 items from the inspiration list.

This week’s challenge FF #102 - Valentine's Day



Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  At Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion. I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D project and join us. You don’t need a blog to enter Festive Friday. Check out this link on how you can play along with this challenge. If you want help entering, please email me at stampinwithmelva@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help you! 

I created a Spanner Fold Card using the Lover & Happiness Bundle from the January to June Mini Catalogue.  This is one of my favourite fancy folds and is such a WOW card even though it's pretty easy to make.

Instructions

  1. Cut Night of Navy card stock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2".  Score at 4 1/4" and fold on score line.
  2. Cut at 1 1/4" from bottom to score line on both sides.
  3. Cut Fresh Freesia card stock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
  4. Emboss and cut using the Love & Happiness Hybrid Embossing Folder and Heart Die.
  5. Cut Window Sheet 1 1/4" x 5"
  6. Adhere across the middle of the card base between the flaps
  7. From the edges, cut 2 pieces of the embossed card stock 1" x 4"
  8. Adhere to the left and right flaps
  9. Adhere embossed heart on to the Window Sheet piece in the middle of the card
  10. Cut Basic White card stock 2 3/4" x 4"
  11. Stamp sentiment on top using Night of Navy ink
  12. Adhere to the middle flap
  13. Wrap ribbon around bottom of the middle flap and tie a bow
  14. Cut out 3 small flowers and 1 small heart using dies from Night of Navy ink.
  15. Adhere flowers to left hand side and heart to the right hand side using Dimensionals.
  16. Adhere rhinestones to the flower centres and 2 on the large heart.
  17. Cut Basic White card stock 4" x 5 1/4"
  18. Adhere to the inside of the card
  19. Cut remaining embossed piece with the cut out heart to 3 1/4" x 3 3/4"
  20. Adhere to the inside of the card
  21. Stamp sentiment in the middle of the heart using Night of Navy ink.

                          Technique Tuesday - Envelope Mini Album

                          Tuesday, 1 February 2022

                           

                          I'm excited to be participating in the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop.  Today we're sharing cards featuring Envelopes.  I created this pretty Mini Album using the Hand Penned Cards and Envelopes and Hand Penned Memories & More Card Pack.  These albums are so quick and easy to put together and so much fun!  They make great gifts for friends and families to store photos or keepsakes from important events!

                          My album took 10 envelopes from the pack so you have enough to make 2 albums - one for you and one to give away!

                          Here's some pictures of the inside of my album.  There are 2 types of pages - one with pockets created with the envelopes and then other pages are solid pages that you can decorate.  You can also watch my YouTube Video where I'll give you some tips and tricks on how I made this album.




                          I used a Medium Clear envelope to create a pocket on this page

                          Another page with a pocket created using a Medium Clear Envelope


                          This one of the pocket pages - you can insert cards for journaling or add pictures or you can store keep sakes like tickets or hand written notes.
