Toucan talk...

Good Morning everyone

This is the 2nd card i made for my niece Kitty-Bea 6th birthday for my parents to give to her.  Ive made my 2nd attempt at a balcony fold card and used these fab toucan stamps from Funky fossil designs.

5x7" card base made up from white cardstock following this tutorial beccysplace.blogspot.com/tutorial-balcony-cards

I used an old 6x6 paper pad with all these green foliage papers and matted onto the panels.  I stamped the images onto white card, watercoloured with derwent inktense pencils, cut them out and then got arranging them onto the card.

I added touches of glitter glue to finish.  On taking the photos i realised id not put the sentiments on which i rectified but no time to new photos as had to deliver the card

Showing it from above with the different panels, it folds flat to go into an envelope

Just a close up on the vibrant toucans - this patterned paper is ideal to make them look like its the jungle


Items Used:
Funky Fossil designs 'toucan talk'
Kaisercraft paper pad 'botanica'
Derwent inktense pencils
Ranger stickles 'diamond'

Thank you for all your amazing comments on my wiper card.  Kitty-Bea loved this card just as much.  Emmax

Mums birthday tulips

Good Morning everyone

I bought these PET/acetate printed Tulips on ebay to use for my mums birthday card, I finally decided to make a balcony front fold card to display them all.  This fold has been on my 'to try' list after the lovely Stephanie made this one for me for my birthday a couple of years ago.  I used a step by step beccysplace.tutorial-balcony-cards and just altered the sizes to make a 5x7" card



I made my base card up from white 300gsm cardstock.  I cut white panels smaller and embossed with a tulip embossing folder, matted these onto green patterned paper and then the base card.  I then got arranging the tulips, sticking some to the back panel, some to the back and front of the middle panel and some to the back of the front panel until it was nice and full with tulips.  I love how by just adhering the stems into place the flower heads have nice movement and the light can shine through them.


I die cut my birthday sentiment from more of the green paper and added to the bottom front panels

Showing it from above, you can see the middle section better here.  It all folds flat to go in an envelope.  Very simple really but effective.

Mum loved it and I also gave her a bunch of fresh tulips for her birthday along with her pressies

The tulips were an ebay find, the embossing folder is an old magazine freebie.  .
