A unique fun-fold card with Thoughtful Moments Hybrid embossing folder tips with video & free project sheet

January 15, 2024
For last week's video I highlighted the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid embossing folder. Once I used it I was hooked! It's fast & easy! I hope you watch the video here or below; you'll be amazed!

The cards today are both unique fun folds that can easily include a gift card option.

This card features Misty Moonlight, White & Fresh Freesia. The pretty paper is the Flight & Airy designer paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's free with a $50 order. See it here.

Here's how the card opens. See the gift card inserted into the left side pocket? It's so easy to make – a simple cut on the front layer up to the score line. Then adhere the outer and lower sides to form a pocket.

Save

I cased this card from my friend Susie Wood; she is a master designer of fun fold cards. See here blog here; she usually posts measurements and great directions.

Here's her original card she sent me:

I lover her style so much! She used the Poetic Expressions designer paper and the gorgeous Thoughtful Expressions bundle; both from the 2024 Spring catalog.

Notice I changed the side I cut the gift card on; see the difference in the two cards below? I wanted to see how it worked and it is just fine either way.

Save

I used the new brayer to add ink to the folder, added the large die, then white card stock before I ran it through my Cut & Emboss machine. I got a nice handful of inked and embossed greetings! It's so very cool; I hope you watch the video!!

This Thoughtful Moments Hybrid embossing folder comes with a set of dies too. See it here.

I made the pretty card below during the video.

My colors include Pebbled Path, White & Petal Pink. The pretty papers are from the Softly Stippled designer paper seen here, also in the 2024 Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's free with any $50 purchase from Stampin' Up! through February; or while supplies last.

The floral paper I used is originally white with Pebbled Path; I added Petal Pink ink to the flowers with a sponge dauber.

Note the layered scalloped labels under the double-layered greeting. These are from the Thoughtful Expressions dies seen here. They're a gorgeous set of dies you will want to consider. Originally I did not get the coordinating stamp set, but I did order it now because I've seen so many beautiful samples using it. We're all enablers!

Below is a sample of the many ways you can ink the greetings. I cannot say how much I love this folder & dies bundle!

Save

Details on these die-cuts seen above:
- The top two in bold Pebbled Path were embossed and cut from White paper. After I cut and embossed them I rolled the inked brayer over them very, very lightly. *see video!
- Celebrate & Thank you with a thin inking were done by inking the folder with the brayer, adding the die and White card stock, then running it through the Cut & Emboss machine. *it cuts and inks at the same time; with one pass!
- The Love You was done with both of the above techniques. Pebbled Path inside the folder and afterwards I brayered Petal Pink over the raised area.
Below is the video you can watch to see these techniques using this amazing Hybrid embossing folder in action. Don't forget to follow me on YouTube!
