Night Sky Folded Corner Card

 Night Sky Folded Corner Card

In some parts of the World there have been solar storms creating the most magical Northern Lights displays! How amazing!!

So I thought it was fitting to design a card with a night sky scene. 

This fun fold is called a "Folded Corner Card". 

Directions:

Cut a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Basic Beige Card Stock and score in half at 4 1/4".

Open the card and on the right edge on the right side measure down 3" and make a small pencil mark right on the edge. Place the open card into your trimmer and SCORE from the 3" mark to the 4 1/4" score line. This creates the corner fold.

Fold this flap down to the card front and burnish.

Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic Grey C/S and a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper. Attach these together, then attach to the card front. *Tip: I made a mark on these layers where the card base folds down and I trimmed off the corner. 

Glue down the corner fold.

Die cut a Basic White C/S and a Basic Black C/S Deckled circle using the Deckled Circles Dies. The Basic Black C/S circle is one size larger then the Basic White circle. 

Deckled Circles Dies #162286 $51.00 CAD

Using Blending Brushes, add some Misty Moonlight Ink to the Basic White C/S circle. Then add some Night Of Navy Ink on the outer part of the circle. 

Using Memento Black Ink and the Encircled In Nature Stamps, stamp some trees onto the circle.

Encircled In Nature Bundle #163629 $73.75 CAD

Die cut some Basic Black C/S trees from the Encircled In Nature Dies. Attach to the circle.

Using a White Gel pen, add lots of tiny dots all over the circle, careful to avoid adding dots to the trees.

Attach the 2 circles together using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. Add a few Dimensionals to the glued down flap and attach the circles.

Stamp a sentiment onto Basic White C/S using Night Of Navy Ink. Flag cut the ends and attach to some Basic Black C/S. Attach to the card front using Dimensionals. 

Add a 3 loop Linen Thread Bow using a Glue Dot.

I also stamped some trees and added some ink with the Blending Brushes and white dots to the inside of the card and the envelope.

This years catalogue is very different from years past. Here is a great video explaining some of the changes.

Here is another great video about colours!

"Color is at the heart of crafting! From color wheels to color families, you can be a color explorer and try something new. Plus, discover our new 2024–2026 In Colors and add them to your collection." Check out page 132 & 133 in the Catalogue and see how Stampin' Up! explains the colour families, monochromatic, complementary, analogous and triadic. Very informative!

Now, onto todays card!

I decided to make a Diamond Flap Fold Card.

This is an easy fun fold with so many possibilities.

For the first card I used the new "Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper". The clouds were perfect and I used another sheet to fussy cut the airplanes. 

The sentiment is from the stamp set, Hot Air Balloon. The sentiment is stamped in Night Of Navy Ink.

Measurements:

Base Card Stock 4 1/4" x 10 3/4" scored at 5 1/2" and 8 3/4".

At the end of the shortest section, mark at 2 1/8" and then cut from that mark to the nearest score line. See photo of template.

Cut a coordinating piece of C/S to 3" x 3" and attach overtop of the triangle on the card base. Only add glue to the 1/2 triangle portion on the card base.

Cut another piece of coordinating C/S to 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" and attach overtop of the 3x3 square.

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 2 1/2" x 2 1/2". This is for your front sentiment. Be sure to stamp on an angle.

Cut a piece of Designer Series Paper to 3" x 4" and attach to the front left side of the card base.

I cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White C/S for the inside.

Die cut out front images or stamp images. I attached them using Dimensionals.

Embellish with ribbons, bling, Bakers Twine, whatever you happen to have. I used my Stampin' Blends to colour onto the Rhinestones to match my card colours.

For my second card I used the same cloud image from the Designer Series Paper and then I used the Hot Air Balloon Stamps and Dies. The balloon is stamped in Night Of Navy Ink, the basket and smaller border are die cut from Balmy Blue C/S and the larger border is die cut from Night Of Navy C/S. I added a few dots from a White Gel Pen to the balloon detail.

I kept the inside simple, just a sentiment.

Here is the template to create this fun fold.

Happy Stamping and Creating! Enjoy the new catalogue!!
