Beautiful Balloons ‘latch’ fun fold card; new products in the Annual Catalog

I've sure been enjoying playing with new products from the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  The Bright & Beautiful suite is one we could pre-order early as a Demonstrator. 

Here's one of my recent projects: 

Save

I made it with my Flowerbug's Team on our monthly Zoom gathering. It was a mystery card designed by Candace. 

My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blueberry Bushel and white.   

Save

I placed the top panel on the left edge of the front card fold, adding Dimensionals to just the very left edge.  It allows the right fold to 'latch' and hold the card closed.  Below is a photo showing how the right side 'catches' under the front panel. 

Save

Measurements are: 

• Card base 5 ½” X 7 ¼” scored at 4 ¼”
• left panel 4 ¼” square score on one side at 1”
• front panel 2 ½” X 3 ½”
• Basic White 4” X 5 ¼”(inside)  & front is 2 ¼” X 3 ¼”
• Portrait DSP 2 ¾” X 5 ¼”
• Portrait DSP; same or different 3” X 4”

All of these products are now available in the new Annual Catalog.  If you don't have a local demonstrator let me know; I'll send you one for just $5.  If you order from me online first I'll send it free!

  Save

  Her colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon & Pumpkin Pie.

  And lastly today is a perfectly Autumn card made by Gwen. It’s her first time swapping! She did a wonderful job!

  Save

  Each of these cards features the More Than Autumn bundle and they’re all so unique. It’s a pretty big bundle with a wide variety of images and dies. She used the new Gathering Together specialty paper seen here. She added a center strip under her images that’s 1 3/4″ wide. Cajun Craze with Very Vanilla are her card stock colors. The greeting die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies.
