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.

Save

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

Save

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.

• Holiday Catalog Launch Party with lots of new product displays

  September 7, 2024

  My new Holiday Catalog open house event went wonderfully on Wednesday; it was a big smash with lots of people attending.  I was ready with fabulous displays and yummy food.  Of course I forgot to take photos of the food but I did remember to grab some of the displays. 

  First is the Splendid Autumn display:

  I also included swaps from the Caring Leaves stamp set in the upper left. 

  I made samples of some of the die-cuts I have to help showcase how they can be used.

  Next is my Regal Winter display:

  I shared a few of these cards on last week's Live video which you can here and another one here.

  Next is the Nest of Winter suite which is filled with wood grains, birds and nature.

  I shared some of these cards in this video seen here. 

  I created a sample for the dies in this suite too.  I should have colored them in but I didn't take the time.
