Good morning, Claire here with a card featuring the new Patchwork Landscapes stamps, I adore creating scenic cards to these stamps are going to be a big favourite with me, they are such fun and quirky designs. For my first sample this month I decided to try and create a 'Bendy Card' as I'd seen some on my travels and loved the effect. I'm not great at creating fancy folds but this is a really nice easy one.
I used two 6" card blanks to create this and began by stamping the hills in the background on the inside right panel of one of the cards. I closed the card and stamped the little house. Next I took the other card blank, opened it and trimmed the front section off leaving a strip about 2cm to the left of the fold. On the reverse of the right hand panel I stamped the trees and fencing and then used pva glue to stick the scenes together.
I coloured the images with Graph'It markers and then trimmed around the two front images. I worked out roughly where I wanted the 'bends' to go and used my craft knife to cut slits to pop the ends through and create the card shape.
As a finishing touch I added a punched fence and some little paper flowers.
I hope you're enjoying all the beautiful cards from my talented team mates, our new members have certainly created some gorgeous debut projects!

This is very effective Claire - I've not seen this type of fold before but I can understand how it really fits in with your style. Your fence & those little bright flowers (lovely echo of those in the stamped image) add such a lovely touch & & I particularly like the way you have made the hills so dimensional.

ReplyDeleteThis is sooo pretty. All the elements work so well together. Thanks for the instructions as well - I will have a go when I feel brave enough. Cheers, Dianne
ReplyDeleteI love this idea and I must try it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely unusual dimensional card and these stamps lend themselves perfectly to this sort of treatment. The picket fence and the pretty flowers go beautifully along the front. I love the height you have given the hills in the background and the colouring is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteStunning, ingenious!!
