(New Post) Fun Fold!

 Fun Fold Card

The Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper is so colourful that it can stand alone all by itself! I only added a few embellishments to finish off the card.

This card is also a simple fun fold and it has lots of room to write a message for the recipient. 

Directions For Fold:

Cut the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper to 10 1/2" x 5 1/2". Be mindful of the pattern direction when cutting your DSP.

Score at 4 1/4", 5 1/4" and 6 1/4". 

Fold and burnish with the center fold (spine) inside. 

Turn over and add Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to the inside of the spine and glue closed. 

Inside of the card with the spine glued closed. (I used a different piece of DSP for these photos)

  

Card Inside:                                                                                    

 Cut 2 pieces of Basic White Card Stock to 3 7/8" x 4 7/8". 

On both pieces of the Basic White C/S, stamp a flower. The flower outline is stamped in Melon Mambo Ink full strength and the inside of the flower is stamped in second generation Melon Mambo Ink. (Stamped off 1x on scrap paper for a lighter look). I stamped one flower on the top and one flower on the bottom of the second Basic White C/S inside pieces. 

Attach these layers to Pretty Peacock C/S cut to 4" x 5" and attach to the card insides. One is glued to the "spine" and the second one is lined up with the first one and glued to the inside back. *Tip: for the layer attached to the spine, only add glue to the left side of the layer. 

Card Front:

Using the Bough Punch and the Soft Shimmer 12 x 12 Specialty Paper, punch out some leaves. I used the Berry Burst and Pretty Peacock Shimmer Paper. Set aside. I punched out 1 big and 1 little bough from each color. 

On a scrap piece of Basic White C/S stamp the sentiment using Pretty Peacock Ink. Angle cut one end. I used the  sentiment "Sending You Sunny Thoughts" from the Trucking Along Stamp Set. What a great sentiment! Anyone could benefit from sunny thoughts!!

Die cut a decorative border strip from the Darling Details Dies using Berry Burst Shimmer paper. Attach it to the sentiment strip on the bottom then attach the sentiment to the card front using Dimensionals. 

Using Glue Dots or Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue, attach the punched out leaves, tucking them slightly under the sentiment. 

Add a double Lemon Lime Twist bow to the left side of the sentiment.

Finish the card off with a sprinkling of Adhesive Backed Sequins. 

 

The card back is just as beautiful as the front! Look at the dimension! It really is paper! The Stampin' Up! artist hit this one out of the park!

Don't forget to decorate the envelope too! 

I hope you have enjoyed todays card and get some time to be creative today. 

If you live in Canada I would love to be your Demonstrator.

(New Blog Post) Fun Floral Card And A New Catalogue!!

 Fun Floral Card And A New Catalogue!!

It's an exciting day!! The New September-December 2023 Mini Catalogue goes live today!!

 

Starting September 6th, 2023 you can go to my On-Line Store to see this catalogue. ↘💜

                                Shop With Me Here.

I am still out of town for another day or two so as soon as I am back I will add the link for the new catalogue! 

After you have checked out todays card and my photos, at the end of my Blog is some great videos from Stampin' Up! showing some of the new products!       

Now, onto todays card.

I have used the Darling Details Bundle to design todays card. Check out all those amazing dies that come with this bundle! I also love the font and the sentiments with this set!

Directions:

I started with a card base of Calypso Coral Card Stock cut to 4 1/4" x 11" and scored at 5 1/2".

Cut a 2 5/8" x 4" piece of Basic White C/S. Using Calypso Coral Ink full strength, randomly stamp the large flower outlines. Stamp the insides of the flowers using 2nd generation Calypso Coral Ink. *Tip: ink up the stamp, stamp off once onto scrap paper, then stamp onto your art panel for a softer look.

Attach this layer to the card base using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 4" x 5 1/4" and die cut the larger of the decorative frames. Using Dimensionals, attach the frame overtop of the art panel and to the card base.

Stamp and die cut more of the flowers, all the different sizes using Calypso Coral Ink. Use the same stamping technique as described above. 

Stamp and die cut some leaves using Garden Green Ink full strength and second generation.

I crumbled up some of the flowers in my hand for a bit more dimension. Attach the flowers using Dimensionals and then tuck the leaves underneath and use a bit of Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to attach them.

Stamp the sentiment from Go To Greetings in Memento Black Ink onto a scrap of Basic White C/S. Attach it to the card base using Dimensionals.

Add a double Linen Thread Bow attaching with a Glue Dot.

For the inside I cut a 3 1/2" x 5" piece of Basic White C/S and I stamped a few Calypso Coral flowers. I also did the same to my envelope. 

                     More from beautiful Sointula B.C.

                                So peaceful.....

                    I love all my beach treasures!

 My parents over the last 22 years of living in Sointula have rescued and spayed or neuter over 20 cats. Some of them become friendly others not so much. They feed them all, provide shelter and safety. Some of them even decide that they like to live in the house. Some just can't bring themselves to go inside. It's always their choice. This is a photo of Ginger and Hissy. Ginger is very friendly and loving and Hissy.....well, he's not so friendly. When you give him his bowl of food, he hisses at you! Not very polite! LOL

                             Ginger lounging around!

This is one of the local gift shops!

                      You can't see me!!!! Yes we can!!

Nice geese, until they leave treats all over my car windows! 💩

                            This way to the beach!!

Look at this beauty! Someone made this piece of art from driftwood and everyone that comes by leaves a little memento behind. 

This is Coho Joes Cafe. They have amazing food and beverages!

Another great place for yummies is Malcolm Island Food Company. Try their Hello Dolly Bars!! 😋

The wood shed is covered in Virginia Creeper. It has beautiful green leaves all Spring and Summer then in the Fall it transforms into this amazing display of reds, oranges and burgundies. 

 A Stellar Jay hoping for some cat food!

Can you spot the cute Douglas squirrel? 

                            Wow! What a beauty!! 

                        She is a Columbia Black Tail Deer.                                                

                  My awesomely wonderful Mom and Dad. 💕
