Double Collar Fun Fold showing off the Bloom Boutique patterned paper

I came across the Double Collar Card fold a few months ago and really love who this shows off both sides of coordinating patterned paper. Use it with any in your stash. I use a 2.5 inch wide strip down the middle (the centre floral pattern) then on either side, the reverse pattern measuring 1.75 inches wide each. They overlap a wee bit then fold back the top and bottom inside edges to make the collar look. Anything that doesn't line up perfectly will be hidden by the focal point in the centre. This was my team swap card for May as I really wanted to incorporate the new All Aflutter Bundle and Bloom Boutique patterned paper. Enjoy!

Here's a super quick how-to: Stamp your large image in black ink onto a layer. Grab two layering shapes and punch or die cut a segment out. Colour it in then layer onto a slightly larger one. Done!

Pop of Spring with Fern and Flora

It seems like the trees and grasses have just popped over the last week or so. A little sun, a bunch of rain and warmer temps have that amazing effect of turning dried out left-over winter blahs into spring colour. This card filled with lush greenery reminds me of the beauty of this time of year. Thanks to Dawn for sharing today's card featuring the Fern and Flora bundle with us in our May swap.

Stamp Set or Patterned Paper?

Let's play, "which stamp is this?". Any guesses? I'll let you in on a secret - the flowers in the planter are from the Artisan Sketched Garden pattern paper and hand cut out. This is divine! I love all the black and white with a splash of colour from Poppy Parade on the flowers and the oh so cute ladybug embellishment. Adding this paper pack to my cart now. What about you?
