Welcome to the Sparkle N Sprinkle Christmas in July blog hop! If you've arrived here by way of Angie's fabulous creations, you're in the right spot! If not, you may want to start at the beginning (the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog) so that you can become eligible to win one of five - yes, FIVE - great prizes from Sparkle N Sprinkle.
My first card is a Double Z fold card using Stampette set #443 Snow Family. It is stamped on Vanilla cardstock and colored with Copics, then cut out with Spellbinders Beaded Ovals. The glitter oval behind it is cut out with my Silhouette and Sticker paper, then glittered with Green Nugget. The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The Snow at the bottom of the oval is from Mudd Puddles and can also be purchased at Sparkle N Sprinkle.
The sentiment inside the card is embossed in Red Apple. Complete directions for this card can be found here.
My second card is a Spring Card (like in jumpy, not the season!) using another Stampette set, #442 Christmas Basket. It is also colored with Copics and the basket is touched up with Fall Leaves glitter. The card folds flat for mailing and then "springs" up when taken out of the envelope. I also like that it stands up like an easel card. Very unique!
Here is a view of the back:

oooooh! Gerlinde! Such BEAUTIFUL cards. I'm surprised how similar colors are completely transformed on your unusually-folded cards. Darling! Who wouldn't love receiving them? The attention to detail in your embellishments, textures and glitter really make your cards look remarkably eye-catching. The satin bow is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing such pretty and creative designs!
ReplyDeleteI love your really pretty & glittery cards.The stampette sets you used are two of my favorites. I like how the second card lays flat for mailing & "springs" up when removed from the envelope.
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful cards. I love special folds. I have made Z Fold cards but need to try that spring (as in jump) card.
ReplyDeleteBTW, off topic, but I enjoyed your duck layout & card too.
