All Aflutter envelope-flap style card with free project sheet & video


This neat fun fold card was created for my June card clubs. I call it an envelope flap closure.

My colors include Darling Duckling, Blueberry Bushel with White. Wonderfully bright for summer! I used quite a few products here so I’ll list them for you.

  • All Aflutter stamp and dies bundle seen here
  • Darling Duckling 12 X 12″ Two-toned card stock
  • Irresistible specialty designer paper seen here
  • Lazy Daisy & Floral Spray 3D embossing folders
  • 1 3/4″ and 2″ circle punches
  • Blending Brushes
  • a sanding block

The Irresistible designer paper is cut into a 3 3/4″ square and scored in the center diagonally. It’s adhered to the back of the Blueberry Bushel card base before that is adhered to the larger Darling Duckling CS.

There are three patterns in this specialty Irresistible designer paper you can see here. When you add ink to this specialty paper it reveals the white shiny pattern.

You can see the two patterns I used on my card here.

And here’s the other version. Note both the blue Irresistible patterns and the embossing folders.

After we textured the 2-toned Darling Duckling card stock we sanded it with a sanding block (from my husband’s shop) to reveal more of the White core.

You can see the All Aflutter bundle here. I love having butterfly images with a coordinating punch! See it here.

I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, photos and supplies list. Click here to see it.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and one other made with the cute All Aflutter bundle.

I’ll share the second card with the free project sheet tomorrow.

  • Get a free bundle from the Holiday Catalog!


    During Sale-a-Bration you can pick out a free bundle with purchase of the Stampin' Up! starter kit.  It's the current promotion happening now through September 30th. Click here to print out the flyer below. 

    Did you know that ….

    • you get $125 in product of your choice for $99 and shipping is FREE!? 
    • you can enjoy a 20% discount (and up to 25%) on all of your Stampin' Up! orders?
    • you can pre-order from new catalogs a month early?  
    • you don't have to place an order until December 2021 to stay active? 
    • you do not have to hold events or sell product?  True! You can simply enjoy the discount yourself.

    Below is a sample of a possible Starter Kit. I gathered $125 in product and a free Holiday Catalog bundle.

    I have never had a demonstrator join my team and regret it.  They all love it as long as they stay active.  Some people stay a while and others do not.  I hope you stay awhile but if you don't, that's fine too.  There is no pressure to continue once you decide to leave.  You simply stop placing orders. 

    I have many people take advantage of this deal just to stock up on essentials or to get items on their long wishlist. Then when they're stocked up, they stop ordering. It's just that simple! No pressure to sell or hold events. Just enjoy the 20% discount while you can. Email me with any questions you have.

  • Ombre Blending with Decorative Masks; an easy technique!


    If you struggle to get a smooth blend I have a few suggestions for you.  We made this striking card at a class this weekend.  Everyone loved it and they all turned out fabulous!

    Details:

    • The colors here are Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler; with a bit of gold glitz thrown in.
    • The leaves are die-cut from the Intricate Leaves dies seen here. 
    • The greeting is from the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set in the Holiday catalog. I love this greeting!  See it here.

    Here are some tips & suggestions for perfect Ombre' blending:

    • Use out Blending Brushes; they really do make a smooth blend easier.
    • Choose colors that are similar in hue. For instance blues and greens, or yellows to reds.  
    • Blend over a Decorative Mask – see them all here.  The patterned stencils/masks seem to break up any inconsistencies in your blending. 
    • Here I added color onto Crumb Cake card stock; that also helps and would be a a good color to practice on. 
    • I start out with the lightest color and work my way downward; in this case at an angle.  
    • I leave a tiny space between colors and make sure to blend/connect them by going into the previous color just a bit before moving.
