Did you catch last weeks blog post with video of how to make the above fold?

You can find that here; https://www.obyd.co.uk/blog/22849a28-af65-40a1-802c-07a95cbe9a67

The above picture is the perfect addition for my hallway - the frame and mount were an absolute steal from Home bargains.. the simple wood frame works beautifully with the print

In the card above: Laura used the beautiful frosted paper (page 9) as a backing paper for her card she then cut out the toppers and the just for you sentiment from page 6. Combined withe some layers of matte gold card and olive green card this card is so pretty. Finished off with some gems and some little liquid pearl drops for the centres of the flowers just to make them pop

The below picture is of inside the above card - Laura as used the insert sheet included to decorate the inside of her card

Laura's z-fold card using a pretty Spellbinders fancy edge circle die, a Vaessen loopy edge circle die for the topper and a spellbinders foliage embossing folder for the beautiful green panel to complete the look

Thank you so much for reading and for sharing in our excitement over this new collection. I truly hope you enjoy all the samples we’ve created with today’s launch – and this is just the beginning! I’m sure there will be plenty more ideas, projects, and inspiration to come as we continue to explore the beauty of the Glorious Geraniums together.
