Another way to use the Gorgeous Garden dies in a fun fold card with video tutorial


I shared this beautiful card on a recent video.  I sure had fun with the colors on this card!

It's a double-decker fun fold card.  It might look hard but it sure isn't!  All you need to add is a simple box between the middle layer and the inside back of the card.  Watch the video here to see how it's done.  

Using our Blending Brushes I added the three colors (Tahitian Tide, Brilliant Blue & Gorgeous Grape) to a piece of White cardstock.  I then used the Garden dies to die-cut it out.  I adhered this to the back of the card base before adding the 'box' to create the double-decker fun fold card. 

I created a second colorful die-cut so I could add extra details to the cards.   

Supplies:

  • Basic White & Brilliant Blue card stock
  • Vellum Basics specialty paper seen here
  • Inks – Brilliant Blue, Gorgeous Grape & Tahitian Tide
  • Lasting Joy stamp set seen here
  • Gorgeous Garden dies
  • Basic 3D embossing folders seen here
  • Stylish Shapes dies for the circles
  • Scalloped Contours dies for the scalloped rectangle
  • Blending Brushes

Double-decker card measurements:

  • White card 8 ½” X 5 ½” score at 2 1/8” & 4 ¼”, front textured layer is 1 7/8” X 5 ¼”,
  • White for die-cut 4” X 5 ¼”, Scalloped die-cut 3 1/8” X 4 ½”
  • Box is 3 ½” X 4” – score every ¾”
  • Circle die-cuts – 2 3/4" white & 3" blue 

Here are both cards shown in the video below.

  • Terrific Toadstools fancy fold card


    Today I'm sharing a fabulous fancy fold card Lori made for our Team Sale-a-Bration card swap.  She used the Terrific Toadstools bundle. 

    It's a little deceptive but it is a fun fold card; one I haven't seen before too!  Her colors include Melon Mambo, Fresh Freesia, Early Espresso and Granny Apple Green.

    The Terrific Toadstools bundle from the Spring catalog coordinates with the Toadstool Gardens DSP from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. This DSP is free with any $60 purchase from Stampin' Up. 

    She used a bunch of NEW products; here's the list:

    • Terrific Toadstool bundle seen here
    • Toadstool Gardens 6 X 6" DSP from the  Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here
    • Spotlight on Nature dies seen here
    • Fresh Freesia seam binding ribbon (SAB catalog) seen here
    • Starstruck embossing folder on the upper flap (SAB catalog) seen here

     

    Below you can see the gatefold and the cute flap that folds down over the front.  She created an amazing card showcasing a ton of new products here! See measurements below. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" from each side
    • DSP – 1 7/8" X 5 3/8" for front and inside
    • White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    • upper strip for flap 1" X 3" scored at 2"

    I'll share more team Sale-a-Bration swaps next week.

  • Corners in Bloom fun fold card


    I made this card for our monthly team swap using the Corners in Bloom stamp set. 

    I colored the flowers in with Blends markers in Melon Mambo, Peach Pie & Granny Apple Green. The pretty greeting and die-cut are from the Mixed Labels bundle seen here. 

    I added the new Bloom Impressions designer paper on the left side; a free choice with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration.

    This pretty Corners in Bloom stamp set is also free during SAB (Sale-a-Bration) – with any $120 order.  There are lots of choices you can earn free through February 28th. 

    We haven't had many corner shaped stamps for a long time and now we have two!  I love the many options you have with these line art stamps. 

    My colors include Peach Pie with Melon Mambo & Black. This fun fold is called a 'Joy' fold where the two flaps overlap each other. It was perfect for this stamped frame.

  • Beautiful Butterflies with Mixed Florals swap card; free project sheet


    Here's one more pretty card I made for an online swap in December.  I just love the colors!  

    I used Petal Pink, Mossy Meadow & Poppy Parade; all taken from the Mixed Florals designer paper seen here.  It's from our newest Online Exclusives release. See all of the newest items here. 

    There's just something about this layout that I love.  It might be the balance of the vertical & horizontal layers along with the circle.  It just feels right. 

    The greeting and butterfly die-cut are from the new Beautiful Butterflies bundle seen here.  

    There's so many neat things about this new bundle – the wonderful greetings, the pretty Hybrid embossing folder that matches the butterfly die and the fact that there's a large butterfly die that creates a butterfly folded card front like the one below!
