Your Creative Connection

July 22, 2020 By Michelle Last

Diorama card with pretty gift

I hope you are having a great week and are ready for some creative inspiration. Our theme this fortnight is ‘Return to the Fold’ so I am sharing a simple fold which can open up so many possibilities for a fun creative card!

Your Creative Connection Inspiration Tour

I created a diorama card and used the beautiful gold hoop as a removable home decor item. This is was one of the projects I created for my virtual team retreat and I received so much lovely feedback on it.

It was pretty simple to construct the diorama base which I stamped with the Forever Fern Stamp Set and added my most favourite embossed panel in white to make the gold hoop stand out.

The hoop is attached at the back of the card and easily removable to hang around your home.

I cut some of the leaves from the Forever Fern Dies and added a pop of gold from the Forever Gold Laser-cut speciality paper.

Diorama style handmade card

You may not recognise the daisies, they are created using the Small Bloom Punch. It is a great way to get multiple flowers from one punch.

Pretty cool huh? I finished off the hoop with the Forever Greenery Trim Combo pack and used the Fancy Phrases Stamp Set to add a sentiment to the front and die cut around it using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I love these dies as I love anything scalloped!

Pretty paper daisies

I am so excited to make another one of these and get my creative juices flowing and make another with a Christmas theme so watch this space.

Are you ready for more inspiration, then pop on over to Vicki who is taking over from Claire for a short while and see what she has created for us all.

I love its gentle prettiness and all those lovely little floral details.

Interactive Mini Album I've been busy behind the Interactive Mini Album

I've been busy behind the scenes creating a special mini album for my team retreat this weekend. I can't wait to spend time with my wonderful team—being creative together, sharing lots of laughs and making this beautiful keepsake. If you've followed me for a while, you'll know I have a real love for mini albums. They're one of my favourite ways to preserve memories because they tell a story that's far bigger than a single scrapbook page....
