June Monday Makes with the Acorns were a lot of fun. Some projects we whizzed through and others even caused hilarity and confusion. I’m proud to say that we always manage to finish things, albeit sometimes after the fact.
Carol shared how to make this Cascade Gate Fold card. This one features the True Love double-sided paper (now retired) and the Daisy Lane stamp set. I’m a huge fan of black and white paper, and it’s a great way to make the colours in your focal point stand out.
Although this Peek-A-Boo Slider Card was shared back in June, I decided to include it here too. For more details, click on the picture above.
This Pin-Wheel Tower card was a lot of fun to make and surprisingly simple too. The photo below shows the pinwheel effect. I’ve seen them with four panels like this and six panels too. I’ve not tried making a six panel card. Maybe one for Card & Stamping Techniques later this month or next?
The card features the You’re A Peach 12″ x 12″ double-sided paper, and a sentiment from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set. The two dies come from the Scalloped Contours Die set.
The last card has also been shared before and was a labour of love with all the fussy cutting. I know I shouldn’t complain because it was a card that I talked the Acorns through and no-one made me use this paper to decorate it!
The last three cards above use paper that is in the current Designer Series Paper sale. Details are below.
This month’s collection of cards is coming along nicely. I get to share a fun fold this coming Monday made from a single sheet of double-sided paper. And, on Wednesday I’ll be sharing the instructions for the card that we made this past Monday. I’ll be live on the Oakfield Crafts Facebook page at 3:00 pm (UK time). A supply list will be posted on the page on Tuesday afternoon for those who want to craft along.
