Stampin' Up!'s 2024-2025 Annual Catalogue

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!!

Friendly Hello Fun Fold Card

 Friendly Hello Fun Fold Card

I had so much fun making this card! It looks difficult but it's so easy!! I saw this fun fold on Pinterest and I just had to make it!

This fun fold is called a "Double Dutch Door Card".

Directions:

Cut a piece of Pool Party Card Stock to 4 7/16" x 10". Score this piece at 6".

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 4 1/4" x 3 3/4" and attach to the top flap.

Cut a piece of the Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper to      4 1/8" x 3 5/8" and attach to the Basic White C/S layer on the top flap. 

Cut another piece of Pool Party C/S to 2" x 9". Score at 2 1/4" on each end. This creates the bottom door flaps. This piece will be glued to the back of the card at the very bottom, with the flaps at the front.

Cut 2 pieces of Basic White C/S to 1 3/4" x 2" and attach to the bottom flaps.

Cut 2 pieces of the DSP to 1 5/8" x 1 7/8" and attach to the Basic White C/S on the 2 flaps.

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" and a piece of the DSP to 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and attach together. 

Attach this layer to the card on an angle using Dimensionals. I centered the point of the square to line up with the opening of the bottom flaps. **Don't attach any Dimensionals where this square hangs over. You don't want to glue your card closed! 

Die cut a label using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and Basic White C/S. 

Stamp the bird with flowers onto this label using Memento Black Ink.

Colour the bird, flowers and leaves using Stampin' Blends. I used Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam. Add some Wink Of Stella to the bird and flowers. 

Attach some Petal Pink Ribbon behind the label and attach this label to the card front using Dimensionals.

Add a few Genial Gems to finish off the card. 

The Friendly Hello Bundle can be earned for FREE until Feb. 28th, 2022 with our Sale-A-Bration promotion!
