3 fun fold cards celebrating Strawberry Slush!


I have THREE neat fun fold cards from our June Team card swap.  My Flowerbug's did an incredible job on their fun fold cards!  

First up is Sharon's card featuring the Cheers & Sips bundle seen here. 

The top card base layer is scored to creates a box that pops up & supports the front panel. Super neat! 

She added Fine Tip Glue to her fussy cut drinks for some shine.  To do this you need to let it set awhile to dry. I'd recommend two layers.  If you don't want it to get a bit curvy from the liquid in the glue, add a layer of card stock under it.  

Her inside greeting is from the Unbounded Love set.  The gems are from the Holographic Resin dots.

Measurements:

  • Strawberry Slush card base 8 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", 5 3/4", 6 1/4", 7 3/4"
  • front CS panel 2 3/4" X 4"
  • DSP 2 pieces at 1 3/8" X 5 3/8", pieces under the greeting are 2 3/4" X 1 1/4", 2 3/4" X 1/4" and inside is 2 3/4" X 1 1/4" 
  • inside White panel 2 3/4" X 4"

Next is a neat Latch card made by Kathy who used the Sweet Jar bundle seen here. 

Her colors include Cloud Cover and Strawberry Slush. The Designer Paper is from the Florals in Bloom DSP seen here. 

The front flap opens up to reveal another panel that she stamped with coffee beans and the die-cut from the Paper Pumpkin add on dies (now retired).

And the front panel open up too!  

Measurements:

  • card base 7 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • DSP 2 3/4" X 5 1/4"
  • White panels X 3 – 2 3/4" square; inside 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Strawberry Slush square 3"
  • 2 1/2" X 1" scored at 1 1/4" connecting piece

~~~

And now for the final card today. This one was made by Paula and was cased from Heidi Colins.  It's called a Buckle card:

She used the Floral Impressions DSP on the front and cut a window in the front panels so the buckle could slip in.  

Products used include the Stylish Shapes dies, Swirly EF, In Color flat pearls, and Brass Butterflies.

Measurements:

  • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • DSP 4" X 5 1/4", inside 3 3/4" X 1/2" 
  • buckle 4 1/2" X 1 1/4" scored at 1/2"
  • largest circle is 2 1/8" but Paula recommends slightly larger

Here's the final opening:

  • Hippest Hippos; lots of creative ideas for you!


    Today I'm sharing some wonderful swap cards I received from other talented Demonstrators – all featuring the Hippest Hippos stamp set & Hippo dies.  They're both free with any $50 Stampin' Up! order during July & August. 

    But remember these Sale-a-Bration items are only available while supplies last.  Already they are out of TWO choices in the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  The Rings of Love 12" DSP and the Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam cards & envelopes.  So if you have something from the SAB catalog on your wish list; get it soon!  

     

    What an amazing scene Amanda created here!  So many details!  I especially appreciate that she colored her hippo in Pool Party; who says they have to be gray?

    Her background is made with the Rays of Light stamp seen here.  The rest is all Sale-a-Bration items.  Her colors include Pool Party, White, Crumb Cake & Crushed Curry

    She stamped the greeting from Amazing Phrases and fussy cut it, placing it between 'waves'. She added Wink of Stella to her water.  The little splashes of water & the life preserver truly make this scene complete!

    One of my favorites was made by Gwen.  The way she added ribbon for a 'towel' on the silver/metal tub is genius!! 

    ~~~ 

    Kelly created a cute scene mostly with the Hippo dies.  Her colors are Smoky Slate, Real Red & Balmy Blue.  The little water splash die-cuts add motion to the scene!

    ~~~

    Mary, one of my Flowerbug team members, made this cute card for her Card Club this month. She used a blending Brush with Flirty Flamingo ink for a soft background.  The lights and bow at the top are from the Tree Lot dies in the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  See them here.  

    ~~~

    This cute card was made by Amy Storrie.  I love the sunglasses!  The other neat thing she did was to use the Hippo dies along with the Stitched Circle in the Beautiful Shapes dies so they match up perfectly!  Her Designer Paper is the Cottage Gingham in the Holiday catalog.  

    You can see the Hippest Hippos stamp set here and the Hippo dies here.  Get them both free with a $100 online order and you'll also receive my free July cards kit!  Offer good through Saturday, July 30th. 


    Get a free card class in the mail with a $55 order from July 1-30th.

  • Cows or Hippos? Your choice!


    Here's another adorable card I shared in my video yesterday.  I featured projects with the Hippest Hippos stamp set & Hippo dies.  This time I turned them into cows!  It's so easy to change them up!  

    I simply left the main body white and added splotches of Black spots here and there.  I colored their faces and bellies in with a Light Petal Pink blends marker. 

    I used our new Masking Paper to add 'grass' on the lower part of the card.  I used Blending Brushes for this and the sky.  

    I had left over packets from Club and made a bunch.  I sent them out as thank you cards for online orders.  Did you get one?   

    Here's a choice for you; which do you prefer?  I shared the lower right card yesterday and changed it up from hippos to cows.  Either works in my opinion!  Get the details in yesterday's post here. 

    The measurements are listed in the photo below.  

    And here's the video below; I hope you enjoy it!
