It is October and we are back with another fancy fold blog hop😊 I skipped the September hop as we were travelling to Denmark that weekend, and it all got a bit stressful that last week. We are still in Denmark where we are staying until January. My family is all in Denmark and we haven't been here for 4 years due to COVID, so now we are taking almost 4 months to catch up with everyone.
This month we are doing a Cascading Display Card and I followed this tutorial by Dawns Stamping Thoughts.
This is a pretty easy card and with some relatively easy cuts and folds. Dawn explains it all thoroughly in her video.
The first card I made using this tutorial used products from the Lights Aglow suite, stamp set and DSP as well as the Tree Lot Dies from Sale-a-Bration.
The card base is Evening Evergreen with a layer of Basic White on the base, where I stamped the tree from the Christmas Lights stamp set in stamped off Soft Sea Foam and then stamped the Merry Christmas from the Brightest Glow stamp set on top. The second layer has a layer of Lights Aglow DSP. The final layer has Basic White stamped with the snowflake in Soft Sea Foam. I cut 2 of the big trees from the Tree Lot Dies in Evening Evergreen and then cut 2 of the detailed trees in the Vanilla Glimmer paper. It is a beautiful display card which stand on its own.
The second card I made use the Splendid Day suite.
The base card is Night of Navy with a Basic White layer at the base. I stamped this with the big open leaf image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Night of Navy Ink and layered with the non-matching in-fill stamp in Soft Sea Foam. The next layer has layers of the Splendid Day DSP which is foiled and beautiful. it also has a die cut on the left side panel cut with the Splendid Stems dies in Night of Navy. The front layers have been stamped with the fill in stamp in Soft Sea Foam overlayed with a Night of Navy die cut.
