Springtime Scenes diagonal fold – 2 ways!

I’m excited to share this neat card with you today. We made it at my April Card Clubs.

Isn’t it beautiful? It features the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here and the Delicate Dreams DSP seen here. This DSP is so pretty they cannot keep it in stock! Be sure to add your email to the product so you get notified when it comes back in stock.

This card might look like it’s difficult but it’s as simple as trimming off one half of the card front at a diagonal and flipping it over. Yup; that’s it! Watch my video below to see how it’s done.

My colors include Secret Sea, Hydrangea Hue (new in color), White and Crumb Cake. The largest circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. The small White circle is from Stylish Shapes dies.

We tried this layout in both landscape & vertical position. Which do you prefer?

I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, directions, photos and supplies listed. Click here to download or print it.

Below is the video tutorial with tips on assembly.

• My Sale-a-Bration & New Catalog open house displays

  February 9, 2022

  ---

  I don't think I shared my displays & boards from my January New Catalog Open House yet!  

  Some are my own cards but many of these projects are swaps I received.  

  First is my 2022 Sale-a-Bration display table. 

  

  This first board features half of the Sale-a-Bration offerings including the Sunshine & Rainbows 6 X 6" DSP, the Driving By stamp set, Catching Butterflies stamp set, Simply Marbelous 6 X 6" DSP and the Island Vibes stamp set.  

  See all of our 2022 Sale-a-Bration products here.  Remember you can get these items FREE with each $50-100 you order from Stampin' Up! in February. 

  This next board and display features the Friendly Hello bundle, Daffodil Afternoon 12 X 12" DSP, the Calming Camellia host stamp set and more Sunshine & Rainbows & Driving by samples.  

  

  Next is a wall of displays of the 2022 January-June catalog; especially the designer papers & the Heart & Home bundle. So many beautiful cards & samples! 

  

   

  And here is a close-up of the Sweet Talk 12 X 12" DSP along with a few cards too. 

  

  And lastly is a group of projects featuring the In The Moment, Wildlife Wonder & Flowing Flowers stamp sets, the Daffodil Daydream and Cactus Cuties bundles and many of our newest punches too. 

  

  I hope you enjoyed seeing my displays.  I change up which are up in my studio every few months. My customers enjoy looking at these project ideas when they're here.

• The easy way to do the Whitewashing Technique; with video

  February 8, 2022

  ---

  I've been playing with the Whitewashing Technique lately. Today I'm sharing a card I made on Facebook Live with the Honeybee Home bundle. 

  You can see another group of cards I used this technique on here. 

  

  Please watch the video to see how to do this.  Here are some tips:

  • I stamped the main image using Gorgeous Grape ink onto the same color card stock.
  • Let it dry a bit and color the image in with White Craft ink and a water painter brush.
  • If you want to see the stamped image you'll want to use a light amount of White Craft ink. 
  • I add water to some White Craft ink in a puddle and use that to 'paint'.  
  • You can paint with strokes to indicate lines on your image. 

  

  I used the Heart & Home doilies under the Tasteful Label die-cut.  

  The background paper is the Simply Marbelous Sale-a-Bration DSP that I added a bit of Highland Heather ink to. 
  

  Here's the video!  Click on the picture below to watch it. The Whitewashing Technique is the 2nd project I share.

• How I made this neat Pop-up Gift Bag Fun Fold card

  February 7, 2022

  ---

  We made this fantastic Pop-up Gift Bag fun fold card at my January card clubs. It's such a unique and special way to add a gift card or a little something extra inside a card! 

  

  I used the Friendly Hello bundle from our 2022 Sale-a-Bration brochure. See it here. It's free with any $100 purchase from my online Stampin' Up! store.  

  Isn't it extraordinary!?  Everyone loved their finished card and most were surprised at how easy it was. Here's a close-up of the inside.

  

  Below is the template with measurements.  Your best bet is to watch the video below to see how to assemble it and adhere it inside a card.  

  

  I did turn this card into a fun fold as well with a belly band but you sure wouldn't have to.  It could be placed in the fold of any card you make! 

  

  The Friendly Hello bundle includes both a full photopolymer stamp set and a package of beautiful 12 X 12" pack of designer paper!  

  

  The colors include Fresh Freesia, Granny Apply Green Pool Party, Shaded Spruce, Black & Petal Pink.  I chose to focus on the Fresh Freesia & Granny Apple Green for this card. 

  

  Here are the measurements for the card: 

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2" & 7 1/2"
    White 4" X 4 3/4" & 2 3/4" X 4" plus scrap for Hippo & Friends die-cut
    Pale Papaya scrap for Hippo & Friends die-cut
    Granny Apple Green 3/4" X 10" scored at 3 1/2" & 7 7/8"
    Friendly Hello DSP for bag – 4 X 9 1/2" scored on the 4" side at 1/2" & 3", and on the long side at 1/2", 4 1/2", 5", 5 1/2" & 9" & DSP for front 3 1/4" X 4" & 1 3/4" X 4"
  • the leaves & buds are punched with the Bough punch seen here

  

  You can see what the card looks like closed in the picture above; on the left.
