A neat Diamond Pop-up Fun Fold card with video & free project sheet

I shared this pretty fun fold card on last week’s Live video. If you missed it you can watch it here on YouTube or here on Facebook.

Isn’t it a neat card fold? And it’s super easy to make. I also love that it shows off our coordinating designer series paper so well. Here I used the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty DSP seen here. It’s gorgeous prints include gold foil accents.

I made two different versions because I needed multiples of them for our January Team swap with my Flowerbug’s.

The center greeting layer is added with two folded strips of paper positioned next to the center score line. This allows the greeting to pivot and pop-up when you flex the card. These are about 1 1/2″ X 1/2″ and I simply fold them in half and placed with the score lines next to each other.

You can see how the center panel ‘pops’ up when it’s opened. I really love this fold!

I used the Greenery Lane bundle for the greeting and the White leaf die-cut. You can see this bundle here.

The other two dies are from the Perennial Postage dies seen here.

• See how the Josephs Coat Technique is done; with video & free project sheet

  April 24, 2024

  Here's another project made on last week's Live video; it's the Josephs Coat technique using the new, upcoming Leaf Collection stamp.

  That greeting stamp & scalloped oval die-cut are from the new Unbounded Love bundle from the upcoming 2024 Annual Catalog. I showed how to do this technique in the video here.  I also have a free project sheet with directions. 

  Here are the steps:

  1. Sponge ink all over a neutral piece of card stock – Pretty Peacock, new Summer Splash and lastly Granny Apple Green. 
  2. Wipe off any excess ink with a tissue to remove moisture.  Swipe with an embossing buddy.
  3. Ink your stamp in Versamark ink. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder.  
  4. Use a water-based ink pad like Memento Black and rub or tap the ink over it all.  This is called 'Direct to Paper'. 
  5. With a damp tissue or paper towel, wipe off excess ink from the embossed area. It will not stay on the embossed area. 
  6. Finish your card as you'd like.

  I inked the stamp again in a few colors – Granny Apple Green & Summer Splash, and fussy cut some leaves out for accents. Dies used above include Something Fancy & Stylish Shapes. 

  The card below features an emboss resist technique.  Same colors but the steps are different.

  1. First I stamped using Versamark ink onto White card stock and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. 
  2. Then I added ink over the clear embossing; using Blending Brushes. Inks include: Summer Splash, Pretty Peacock and Granny Apple Green.  *This must be water-based ink!
  3. Use a damp tissue or paper towel to wipe off excess ink that will not stick to the embossed areas. Done! 

  The greeting is from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (online exclusive) and the tags are from the Something Fancy dies (carrying over).

• Let’s Chat is cute & nostalgic! See the video & free project sheet

  Today I'm sharing one of the Club cards we made during my April Card Clubs. I chose the 'Let's Chat' stamp set seen here.

  I love this set!  Between the fun old-fashioned telephone, the greetings and the curvy 'cord' images it's a blast to create with.

  I chose to use the retiring Hot Air Balloon designer paper seen here for my color palette of Fresh Freesia & Balmy Blue. We did fussy cut the head set to add at the top with Stampin' Dimensionals.

  For the inside of the card I used the Happy Little Things stamp set seen here.  I really like the many greeting combinations you can make. t's one of our online exclusives.
