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.

  • A special fun-fold card with Caring Leaves with video & free project sheet


    I shared this unique fun fold card on last week's FB Live video.  It's also uploaded to my YouTube channel too.  

    It was one of the projects we made at my October card clubs this month.  The Caring Leaves stamp set is in our current Holiday catalog. See it here.  It's a sweet & simple set that is both Distinktive and a 2-step set. 

    You can see the fun fold below. The card base is scored 3 times. The measurements can be found in the free project sheet here. Click on the following link to print it or to download it.  Download Caring Leaves Oct 2024

    My colors include Very Vanilla, Copper Clay and Pretty Peacock.  After stamping the front panel we added texture with an embossing folder. I offered the Birch 3D or the Leaf Fall 3D folders. 

    That stunning Pretty Peacock & Copper foil specialty DSP is called Oxidized Copper and can be found here.  It's currently in low inventory though.  

    We blended a bit of Copper Clay ink to the front panel and greeting strip after embossing. A blending brush provides a beautiful & smooth color. 

    Below you'll find the video; please be sure to follow me on my YouTube Channel here too.  I share one every week on Tuesdays at 11 am CT on my Facebook page.

  • More Christmas card ideas from the Holiday Catalog by my Team


    This is the third batch of Christmas card swaps I've shared – all made by my talented Flowerug's Team. 

    First up today is an adorable card made by Candy.  She used the Snowy Wonder bundle seen here in the Holiday catalog. 

    I adore her color combination of Pool Party with Real Red & White.  It's one of my favorites for the holidays. She stamped her snowflake background.  The snow globe is stamped with the Falling Snow background stamp. 

    She added tons of layers and textures here!  From the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder to her die-cuts, greetings and snowflake embellishments.  So much detail!! 

    Here's the inside view. This greeting is from the Peaceful Season stamp set. 

    ~~~

    Next is a sweet & simple card made by Karen. 

    Her greeting is from the Peaceful Season bundle. She chose to feature the nostalgic Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper.

    This pretty paper is one of the frequent 'give back's' that Stampin' Up! does each year.  They are donating $3 to children's literacy programs around the world for each pack they sell. 

    ~~~

    Mary also chose to use this same DSP on her card.  Another simple but neat way to make your designer paper the star of the card. Her colors are Pecan Pie, Cherry Cobbler & Vanilla. 

    There are still more swaps left to share; stay tuned!
