The Rabbit Hole Designs – October Release Day 1

Hi everyone!!! So excited to be sharing a new set from the fabulous October release for The Rabbit Hole Designs!!! Are you so excited? Today’s set is called Steeped in Happiness and I love it! I’ve made two completely different cards to share with you today. I hope you enjoy them.

For this first one I knew I wanted to try a different fold technique to make the card original. So I’ve made a gate fold card but the images on the front are attached on opposite sides. It’s really cool for the recipient. Here’s a closer look.

Isn’t that cool??? Here’s a few more details on how I made this card.

• I started with the card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scored it at 2.25 from each side to create the gate fold. Then cut patterned paper to fit the front panels and glued it down.
• I stamped, colored and cut the image out.
• I die cut 2 nested ovals – one with white cardstock that I inked lightly in the center and the other with patterned paper and glued them together. Then popped the teapot image up with foam squares.
• I glued the oval to the left flap of the gate fold.
• Next I stamped my sentiment from the set and cut a banner. This was only glued to the right flap of the card.
• For finishing touches I glued gems and sequins all around the card.

It’s a really fun card but I especially like the gate fold technique for added interest and it helps it stand up nicely too. Do you ever make cards with different folds? I think I need to try it more often. This was fun and outside of the norm for me.

For the next card, I knew that I wanted to do something completely different than my first so I spent time thinking…then it hit me. I’m a Disney freak and Alice has always been one of my favorites. So, here we go!

Do you see it??? Let me know in the comments. 😉

Here are the details:

• Printed striped paper on a toner copier and sent it through my laminator with Silver Shattered Deco Foil, then cut it down to a strip.
• Stamped and colored my image and matted in on black cardstock. Same with the sentiment.
• Now for assembly, I glued blue cardstock to a card base, then added my silver stripes and a black stripe along the edge. Then I popped up my sentiment and image panels with foam squares.
• For finishing touches on this card I scattered clear gems throughout.

I love how this card turned out! Don’t you? What will you create with this super fun tea set? I can’t wait to see!
