Cutting Guide

 Cut Garden Green Card Stock 4 1/4" x 11" score at 5 1/2", this is the card base. I also cut one of the bases at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4". Either works great! Set aside.

 Cut Basic White C/S: 4" x 5 1/4" and another piece @ 2 1/4" x 2 1/4".

 Cut 4 strips of Gold Glimmer or Gold Foil Paper 1/4" x 6".

Cut the Season Of Green And Gold Designer Series Paper to  3 3/4" x 5".

Directions

Stamp your sentiment using Memento Black Ink onto the       2 1/4" x 2 1/4" Basic White C/S piece, turn it so it becomes a diamond shape. Stamp the sentiment more towards the top of the diamond. 

Also stamp the bough from the Sophisticated Sled Stamp Set using Memento Black Ink onto a scrap of Basic White C/S and die cut with the co-ordinating die set. Stamp another bough just were the ribbon is and fussy cut it out.

Attach the sentiment to the center of the DSP in a diamond shape. 

Take the first strip, add a little bit of Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to it and lay it tight up to the Basic White C/S sentiment on the bottom right side and even with the edge of the square. It will go off the DSP and hang over. *See photos.

*TIP-I try to gauge how much of the strip needs glue on it so I don't have a gluey mess!

Next, add another strip tight up against the sentiment piece and butting up to the first strip, again it will go off the edge of the paper. 

Continue with strip 3 and 4. 

 

Turn the DSP over and trim off all the excess strips.

Attach this DSP layer to the Basic White C/S layer then attach it to the card base using Dimensionals. 

Colour the bough and the ribbons using Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends. One of the bows I did in Real Red Blends the other was done in Pecan Pie Blends.

 Using tiny cut up pieces of Dimensionals attach the fussy cut bow over top of the other bow for a 3D look. *See photo.

Attach the bough to the card front using Dimensionals.

Add tiny dots of the Gold Metallic Enamel Effects to all the berries on the bough. Set aside to dry.

Card Inside

 I stamped a Memento Black Ink wreath onto a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White C/S. 

I coloured it with Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends and also used the Gold Enamel Effects on the berries. Leave the card open until it dries. 

Don't forget to decorate your envelopes!

I hope you have enjoyed todays fun fold card and have some time to create one for yourself!

Fun Fold Swinging Airplane Card

 

Fun Fold Swinging Airplane Card

I love making easy "fun fold" cards! This one is simple, fun and interactive! The Adventurous Sky Bundle from Stampin' Up! was the perfect set for this interactive fun fold!

The airplane is hanging from a small piece of Window Sheet so that when you move the card the plane swings back and forth on the Window Sheet like a pendulum. How cool is that!!

I have a short video at the end showing how this card swings!

I've heard it also called a "swing and sway" fun fold.

Directions:

Cut a Boho Blue Card Stock base to 5 1/2" x 10 1/4" and score at 4 1/4", 7 1/4" and 9".

Fold like photo below.

 Layers:

Small front flap: 1 1/8" x 5 3/8" piece of Basic White Card Stock, embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder.

Large card front: 2 7/8" x 5 3/8" piece of the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper.

Inside flap: 1 5/8" x 5 3/8" piece of Take To The Sky DSP.

Inside card: 1" x 5 3/8" Take to the Sky DSP.

Attach all of these pieces using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Die cut a Basic White Deckled Circle for the inside of the card. Make sure when the card is closed that this circle doesn't show. I stamped a small plane on it using Memento Black Ink. Also stamp a plane on the envelope to match the card.

Stamp the plane onto Basic White C/S using Memento Black Ink and die cut. Colour using Stampin' Blends. I used Black on the tires and Smoky Slate on the plane. I also added Wink Of Stella to the propeller. 

Punch out 1 Basic White C/S label and 2 Night Of Navy C/S labels using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. 

Stamp the sentiment onto the Basic White label using Memento Black Ink.

Layer the 2 Night Of Navy C/S labels behind the sentiment label so that just a small border of Night Of Navy shows behind. This helps the sentiment label stand out more.  

Attach the plane to the end of a 1/2" x 2 1/2" piece of Window Sheet using Tear & Tape. If you want your plane to hang lower just extend the length of the Window Sheet. 

Punch a small hole (3/8") in the other end of the Window Sheet. Attach a Mini Dimensional to the Basic White Embossed panel on the card front about 1/4 of the way down. Hook the Window Sheet hole over the Dimensional. Attach 2 more Dimensionals just above the single one, remove all the Dimensionals backings and attach the sentiment label over them. Now your plane will swing back and forth!! 

Add some Tinsel gems to finish off the card!

Here is a short video showing the airplane swinging motion.
