Jun 6, 2023 | Blog Hop, Christmas, Techniques

Welcome to the Crafty Collaborations blog hop. I am part of an amazing group of demonstrators from all around the world. We love showcasing the wonderful products which can found in our suite of catalogues. This month the theme is create a Fun Fold. I’m delighted to share my Rhino Ready Silhouette Z Fold Card.

Rhino Ready

Did you know that we have a selection of product which are only available online and whilst not tied to the catalogues are only available on a whilst stocks last basis. New products are added to the collection three times a year. & next month will see a number of new products being added to the collection.

The Rhino Ready Bundle was a must have addition to my stash. We love our trips to Africa and the three little Rhino characters remind me of a wonderful trip to a Black Rhino sanctuary where we were able to get involved in some of the conservation.

Rhino Ready Silhouette Z Fold Card

Sometimes a simple fun fold can take a lovely layout to something wow , which is why I love a Z fold card. I made this card on a recent Facebook Live alongside a cute box for small gifting.

Add Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Sweet Sorbet Ink onto a piece of basic white card card using a blending brush to create a sunset scene

Adding a punched circle of masking paper creates the illusion of a setting sun on the African savannah

The die cut trees & branches are in basic black to create a fun silhouette. to infill the foreground add torn stripes of scrap Basic Black card

Heat Emboss the sentiment in white on a scrap of Basic Black card

Take the front & mount onto a mat of Sweet Sorbet card & then Basic Black, before adding to a square Z fold card

Finish with a heat embossed die cut Rhino. Doesn’t he look to be having a truly great day!
