Triangle Fun Fold Card using Colorful Seasons

I have never  made a Triangle Fun Fold card before.  It was so much fun!  I loved it so much, that I did a Facebook Live on it.  The video is further down this post.  I used the beautiful Floral Romance Specialty designer series paper from the occasions catalog and the Colorful Seasons stamp set from the annual catalog.  I love how you can use products from both catalogs and the coordinate.  

In my video you will see how I changed up the whole card.  I used the new Painted Seasons designer series paper and stamp set from the 2nd release of Sale-A-Bration.

To make this card you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Mossy Meadow

• you will need an 8 1/2" x 11" piece

Whisper White

• cut 2 at 4" x 5 1/4"

Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

I used the coordinating Frosted Flowers Embellishments for the little flower by the sentiment.  

Here is a picture of what the card looks like when it is opened.

How awesome is that?!  The best part is you can get two cards from one sheet of cardstock!

Coffee Cafe Tunnel Card

Have you made a tunnel card before?  I haven't until I made this one!  I love this type of card.  You could decorate it so many different ways.  When I started designing this card I wanted to use products from the annual catalog.  Lately, I have been doing a lot of projects with products from the occasions and Sale-A-Bration brochure.  Now, don't get me wrong, I love the the occasions catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochure, but I miss the products in the annual catalog.  So, today I am sharing a card I made using the Coffee Cafe stamp set along with the coordinating Coffee Cups framelits.  The beautiful designer series paper is from the Garden Impressions paper pack.  

Doesn't the designer series paper just pop out against the Night of Navy cardstock?  Here is a top view of the card, so you can see why it is called a tunnel card. 

To make this card you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Merry Christmas Monday Week #7

I saved my best project for last the Merry Christmas Monday project of 2018!   I made my first shadow box card!  I saw a regular folded card made with the Winter Woods stamp set from the holiday catalog and they embossed the trees in white.  That got my creative juices flowing and I knew what I wanted to do, but I needed to figure out how. 

I got on to YouTube and saw a tutorial from Dawn Griffith on how to do a shadow box card.  I watched her make one and went from there on how to design my card.  Thank you for Dawn for sharing your directions!

Isn't the side view so awesome!!!  I was so excited when I finished this card, that I had to run upstairs and show it to Mr. Wonderful and Erica.  I have to say, I think I impressed them with this card! Yay!!!  This card will lay flat so you can put it in a normal size envelope.  

Here is a close up of the front of the card.  On this piece I stamped the trees with Versa Mark and then used Clear Embossing Powder to give them that shine.  On the inside of the card, I used Night of Navy ink to create the background and then used White Embossing Powder on the trees.  

For my snow I did use the retired white velvet paper that was in the holiday catalog.  You could use the Sparkle Glimmer paper that is in the annual catalog.  I made this card about 2 months ago and the paper was available at that time.  It has been hard waiting share this card with all of you.  The trees in the Winter Woods are so beautiful.  It doesn't matter if you stamp them with ink, or emboss them with different embossing powders, they are still beautiful each and every time.   I am so excited that this stamp set is carrying over into 2019!  

To make this card you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Night of Navy

• cut at 5 1/2" x 10 1/2" score at 1/2", 4". 4 1/2" and 8"
• cut at 4" x 5 1/2"

Whisper White

• cut 2 at 3 1/4" x 5 1/4"

To cut the opening I used the Layering Square Framelits to create a rectangle.  In the new Occasions catalog there is Rectangle Stitched Framelits that I can't wait to try.  I used the Metallic Edge Ribbon in Whisper White to wrap around the front of the card.  I then took another piece of the ribbon and used it to tie a knot.

I really, really, enjoyed making this card and have already come up with ideas to make another one with this shadow box type of fold.  

I hope you like the card I created and would love to hear your feedback on it.  Please let a comment below.  I ended up making this card for both our moms for their Christmas cards this year.   I know they are going to love it, because moms are suppose to love whatever we make.  Right?  

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you are all finished with your Christmas shopping.  If not, I might see you out shopping later this week!

Merry Christmas Monday Week #5

What do you think of the purple and gold colors?  I never really think of purple as a color for the holidays, but our theme was Winter Wonderland for the SCS Creative Crew this month.  We were given 4 pictures to get inspiration from and one of them had a purplish tint to it.  It caught my eye right away.  See it below

Isn't this picture so peaceful, bright, calming and elegant all at the same time.  I could picture myself sitting on a bench sipping coffee or hot chocolate and letting the worries of the day fall away.   This picture got me thinking about how could I make a card, that was a creative fold and with a winter wonderland theme.  

The first thing I did was go to my designer series paper and see if anything jumped out at me.  It didn't take me long to find the Year of Cheer DSP with the snowflakes in gold and silver all over it.  I knew then I could really put any color with the paper, but I wanted to tie in the color from the picture.  I found the Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant to be a perfect combination.  

I then remembered I had made a double front fold card before and loved it.  If you missed it, click HERE to see it.   

To make this card you will need the following products:

Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper #144640

• cut at 5 1/2" x 6 1/4 score at 2"

Elegant Eggplant Cardstock #105126

• cut 2 at 2 3/4" x 3 3/4"

Whisper White Cardstock #100730

• cut at 4 3/4" x 7 1/2" score at 3 3/4"
• cut 2 at 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"

I stamped a sentiment from the Colorful Seasons stamp set on the smallest piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Wisteria Wonder ink.   Then I stamped a snowflake from the Snowflake Sentiments for the inside of the card and my envelope with Elegant Eggplant ink.

I attached the Wisteria Wonder cardstock to the Year of Cheer DSP , making sure I was close to the fold line, but not too close.  If you put the Wisteria Wonder paper right on the line, the flap of them DSP will not lay nice.  I would try it first before you put your adhesive on it so you know exactly where you want to put it. 

You will then attach one of the Elegant Eggplant  pieces on top of the large Wisteria Wonder piece of paper, making sure it is centered.  Attach the white piece of paper with the sentiment on it to this piece.  See the pictures below for a visual of what I am talking about. 

You will then put the other piece of Elegant Eggplant paper on the top attaching it to the DSP paper.  REMINDER, only put adhesive on the left hand side of this paper.  Line up your two pieces and then press down.  You want to make sure they are even, they are suppose to look like they are connected.  

I embellished the front with the Foil Snowflake and a snowflake cut from the Trim Your Stocking thinlits using the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper.  

I hope everyone had a great weekend.   Thank you for stopping by today.

Cool Treats Creative Fold Card

 

When I made this card for my Creative Fold Class I knew I wanted to also use it for my birthday swap at OnStage.  This is a unique fold that I hadn't seen before.  I can't remember where I saw it, but I love it.  

The requirements for this swap was we had to use current product, had to have 2 layers and 2 embellishments.  You can definitely see my washi tape, but maybe not my other embellishment.  If you look real close you will see Wink of Stella on the ice cream cone.  

You will need the following products to make this card:

Peekaboo Peach Cardstock #141417

• cut at 7 1/8" x 8"
• scraps for the ice cream cone
• score on the 8" side at  2" and 6"
• score on the 7 1/8" side at 2 3/8" and at 4 3/4" but ONLY from the edge to the first score line *

Watermelon Wonder Cardstock #138334

• cut 4 at 1 3/4" x 2"
• cut 2 at 2 1/8" x 3 3/4"
• cut at 3 1/4" x 3 3/4"
• cut at 3 3/4" x 4 1/2"

Whisper White Cardstock #100730

• cut 2 at 1 7/8" x 1 1/2"
• cut at 3" x 3 1/2"
• cut at 3 1/2" x 4 1/4"

Tasty Treats Speciality Designer Series Paper #142770

• cut 2 at 1 7/8" x 1 1/2"
• cut 2 at 1 7/8" x 3 1/2"

You will also need scraps of the following colors for the ice cream cones:

• Crumb Cake #120953
• Early Espresso #119686
• Pool Party #122924

*** in the picture below you can see why you only score up to the score line and not all the way.  You will then cut out the sections that you see in the picture below with your scissors.  

 

Fold on all your score lines, burnish them with your bone folder and adhere the pieces of Watermelon Wonder cardstock to the Peekaboo Peach.  Add your stamped pieces and designer series paper to the Watermelon Wonder sections.  

To the front piece I added Washi Tape and an ice cream cone cut out using the Frozen Treats Framelits Dies.  I added Wink of Stella to the bottom edges of all the ice cream scoops and to all of the chocolate.  I however, did not add it to the ice cream cone inside of the card.  

Today is the day of Stampin' Up! OnStage event!!!!  I can't wait to see the new catalog! I wonder what the new colors are?  Did they add more punches?  What new stamp sets are there?  Oh My Goodness!  I can't wait to share it with all of you!

Thank you for stopping by today and have a wonderful Saturday and weekend.

Blooms & Bliss Collar Fold Card

Isn't this a fun creative fold card?  This fold is called Collar Fold or Peekaboo Pull Back Fold (I have found it called both names on Pinterest).  We made this card in my Creative Fold card class last month.   This card is actually quite easy to make.

You will need the following products:

Island Indigo Cardstock #122923

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
• cut at 1 1/4" x 1 1/4"

Mint Macaron Cardstock #138337

• cut at 2 1/4" x 2 1/4"

Sahara Sand Cardstock #121043

• cut at 1 1/2" x 2 1/2"

Whisper White Cardstock #100730

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4" for the inside of the card
• cut at 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" for the front of the card

Blooms and Bliss Designer Series Paper #141654

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4" 

To make the folds in the designer series paper you will line up the 5 1/4" side at the 2 5/8" mark on your trimmer.  Cut down to the 1 1/2" mark, then take the corner of where you just cut and fold it back.  

Make sure you have a point at the corners of your paper, this will make a crisp fold when you crease it.  Use your bone folder to make a crisp fold.  I taped down the flaps so they would lie down flat, but that is up to you.  I added Wink of Stella to the center of the Island Indigo flower.

Have a  wonderful Tuesday!

Window Shopping Creative Fold Card

Here is another fun creative fold card we made in my class.  This design is called the Double Z Fold.  When you look at the card from the top you can see the double Z.  See the picture below.

To make this card you will need the following products:

Whisper White Cardstock #100730

• cut at 4 1/4" x 11" score at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" on long side
• cut at 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4" on long side
• cut at 3" x 3 1/4"

Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper #142778

Flowers:

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"
• cut 2 at 2 1/2" x 4"

Checkered Paper:

• cut at 3 1/4" x 4"
• cut 2 at 1 7/8" x 3 1/4"

The first thing is to adhere your designer series paper on to the two white pieces of paper.  Put adhesive on the back of the right hand section of the smaller white piece and adhere it to the biggest section of the flower paper towards the right side.  See picture above for placement.

Fold both sections so you can see where you will need to put the adhesive on the left hand side.  Remember only put adhesive on the section that is going to be attached to the big white piece.  You know how I know that, because I have put adhesive on the whole section, even after I tell myself not to do it.  

Stamp the 3" x 3 3/4" piece of white paper with Mint Macaron ink towards the top.  You want to make sure you have room for your flowers.  I have also added flowers on the two the panels.  You can see them in the picture above.  I then added a medium sized rhinestone in the center of all the flowers. 

I have had a few crazy days with designing my scrapbook pages for my Scrap Along class and working on my swaps for OnStage. I can say they are finished!!!  I am now busy working on my social media, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and this blog.  I am trying to get everything before I leave on Friday for OnStage.  

Can I tell you I am so excited!   I can't wait to see Cathy, Carla, Kim, Beth and Lynn.  We are going to have so much fun.  I will be posting pictures on my Facebook page, Stampin Scrapper  and my Instagram during the weekend.  Click on the links in the previous sentence to see all of the pictures.

Thank you for stopping by and have a Marvelous Monday and week!

Double Front Fold Card with Avant Garden

By now I am sure you have realized just how much I love the Avant Garden stamp set from Sale-A-Bration.  I promise this is the last one. This card is called a double front card and is so easy to make.  

To make this card you will need the following products:

Melon Mambo Cardstock #115320

• cut at 5 1/2" x 6 1/4 score at 2"

Daffodil Delight Cardstock #119683

• cut 2 at 2 3/4" x 3 3/4"

Whisper White Cardstock #100730

• cut at 4 3/4" x 7 1/2" score at 3 3/4"
• cut 2 at 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"

The first thing I did was my stamping.  I did the flower for the front and then on the inside I used the birthday sentiment from the stamp set.  One the inside of the card in the lower left hand corner I stamped one flower image in the melon mambo.

I attached the white cardstock to the melon mambo, making sure I was close to the fold line, but not too close.  If you put the whisper white right on the line, the flap of them melon mambo will not lay nice.  I would try it first before you put your adhesive on it so you know exactly where you want to put it.  

You will then attach one of the daffodil delight pieces on top of the large white piece of paper, making sure it is centered.  Attach the white piece with the birthday sentiment.

For this step you will want to make sure you attach the white piece with the flower on the daffodil delight and add the ribbon.  Here is a little tip for you.  When you put on your ribbon, you will want to make sure that the edges of your ribbon are on the left hand side of the yellow paper.  You want your ribbon to look nice on the back, because you can see a little of the back of the yellow paper. You can see what I mean in the picture below.  I then added my bow with a glue dot.  It gives it a nice finished look.

You want to make sure that your yellow pieces match up perfectly and then adhere.  PUT TAPE ONLY ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE.  You know how I know that, because I put tape on the whole thing out of habit many times.  You can see what I am trying to explain in the picture below.  

 

Isn't this card so fun?  I love it!  The best part is that it is so easy to make.  

Since last week was the beginning of Spring, I thought I would do a craft project with my girls.  Here is a picture of the flower garden they made.  They loved the punched flowers, using some retired products and the spring colors.  

I have the cutest little girls in my daycare!  I love them so much!

Thank you for stopping by today!  Have a terrific Tuesday!

Four Fold Card with Avant Garden and Butterfly Basics

Hello on this wonderful Monday!  I have been working on my projects for my Scrap Along class on Saturday all weekend, that I totally forgot to do a blog post for today.  This card though is worth the wait!  

On Friday night I had my Creative Fold Card Class,  it was such a fun class.  One of my customers from South Carolina was here for her daughter's baby shower and was able to join us.  It was so nice to have her here and catch up.  

We made this card, called the Four Fold Card with the Avant Garden, Butterfly Basics and Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets.  I am in love with this card.  I think I am going to be making one for my mom for her birthday next month.  She loves butterflies and flowers, so it will be perfect.

Here is a picture of what it looks like all opened up.   

This is a few from the top of the card. 

I have included each step with the products needed for this card.  I thought this might be an easier way to explain how to make the card. You will need the following products:

Elegant Eggplant Cardstock #105126

• cut at 11 1/2" x 5 1/2" score at 1/4", 3 1/4" and 7 1/4" on the 11 1/2" side PLEASE NOTE THIS USES A PIECE OF 12 x 12 PAPER
• turn your paper so the the 1/4" line you just scored is at the top of your Simply Scored Scoring Tool and score at 5/8" but ONLY to the last score line.  You don't want to score on the biggest section as this is where you will be adding additional layers and stamping.
• trim off the little section that was created by this score line
• accordion fold your paper so the biggest section is on the right hand side as in the picture above. 
• put a strong adhesive on the 1/4" piece (this piece should be your last fold and it should be laying on top on the left hand side)
• cut a piece at 2 3/4" x 4 1/4"
• attach the above piece to the adhesive you put on the 1/4" section (this is going to create your first fold)
• you will need to cut off the little 1/4" section that sticks up above the 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" piece of cardstock
• you will need scraps for the two butterflies

Wisteria Wonder Cardstock #122922

• cut 2 at 2 1/2" x 4" - this is for the front panel
• cut 2 at 3 1/4 x 4 3/4" - this is for panel 2 and 3
• cut 1 at 4" x 5 1/4" - this is for the biggest panel

Whisper White Cardstock #100730

• cut 2 at 2 1/4" x 3 3/4"
• cut 2 at 3" x 4 1/2"
• cut 1 at 3 3/4" x 5"

You can stamp and decorate each panel as you wish.  

I am almost positive you will see this type of card from me again.  It is so easy to make, but looks very impressive.  My kind of card!

I hope everyone has a fabulous week!
