Crazy Crafters Blog Hop Aprl 2016 CASEing Dawn Griffith


I'm really excited with taking a part in Crazy Crafters Blot Hop April.  Firstly, this is my first time to join the Monthly Blog Hop. Secondly we are CASEing Dawn Griffith !

Her You Tube was one of my first card making You Tube videos I found. I got really intrigued by the sound of her opening and closing Stampin'Up! ink pad and how smoothly she did. Since then I started following her blog and videos.  I thought one day I might make the cool ink pad sound like her in front of my customers. A few years later, I truly did.

So you know how nervous and excited I am now. 

CASEing Dawn's card was no problem. I love all her cards so choosing what to CASE was the hardest decision. I couldn't make up my mind so I just decided to CASE her latest card that  I saw.

This is Dawn's card  I CASEd.

I used the same colour combination but used Blackberry Bliss as a base.   Sentiment is from Number of Years set. I was going to use the same sentiment but it didn't fit properly next to the flower image. 
I stamped the sentiment and punched out with Extra Large Oval Punch. I don't have the background stamp she used nor the flower stamp so used Work of Art as background and my favourite Birthday Blooms stamp set. 

Wink of Stella all over the flower.



My CASEing Dawn card ! Love it !

Thank you for visiting my blog and taking a part of our blog hop. You are at- Satomi Wellard.

Crazy Crafters Team Project Highlight 1st April-Tri-fold card



I've learnt a lot about card making through You Tube, well I could say almost everything. I've made tri-fold cards before but when I watched The Frugal Crafter Lindsay Weirich's tutorial, I got an idea for new measurements for the card.  And that has made this type of cards so easy and fun to create!

The card size is a regular A5. It's 21cm so if you score at 7 cm and 14 cm, you can make a tri-fold card base. 

Then align the card as horizontal is shorter on the paper trimmer at 3.5 cm and cut between 3.5 cm and 17.5 cm vertically. 

Turn the card so horizontal is longer now. Align at 3.5 cm and score to 3.5 cm. It means scoring down from the top to where horizontal cut stars. Do the same at the bottom and the other side. Don't core in the middle panel. You only score where the horizontal cut starts and ends. 

Now all you need to do is fold and decorate and have fun.

To decorate the card with DSP, you need to cut the paper to the following sizes. 
                               2 pieces of  3 cm x 14.3 cm
                               4 pieces of  3 cm x  3 cm
                               2 pieces of  3 cm x 6.5 cm
                               3 pieces of  6.5cm x 7 cm (7 cm is vertical side.)  

I put a flower made with Festive Flower Builder Punch at the front panel. That's big enough so I don't need to embellish this card any more. 

Sentiments are from Garden in Bloom. 

This set coordinates beautifully with English Garden Designer Series Paper, which used to decorate this card.

If you haven't tried a tri-fold card yet, please give it a go. It's much easier than you think and takes no time if you use DSP and Festive Flower Builder Punch to embellish it. 

Here's another tri-fold card I made. For this card I used Soft Suede as a base. I didn't put anything on the middle panel. When I need a birthday card, I can put "Happy Birthday" there or even make it Mother's Day card.
