A neat overlapping fun fold card with free project sheet, video & punch trick!

Yesterday I shared one of the three fun fold cards I made in the video tutorial last week. Today I’m sharing the second one.

My colors include Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake, White and the retired Boho Blue. The colors in the new Delicate Dreams DSP includes a brand new In Color coming out in May. It’s called Hydrangea Hue. I don’t have it yet so I had to substitute.

The Delicate Dreams designer paper AND the Delicate Whispers bundle are out of stock right now but you can add your email to the list to be notified when it’s available. Click on the links to do this. They should be back in stock in a few weeks.

The front top flap overlaps the lower one. I added a strip of the Boho Blue and besides texturing it with the Beautiful Pattern embossing folder I used my To the Point punch to mimic the Mossy Meadow punched piece. I love this punch!

Here’s how you do it.

You must insert the layer in the back of the punch and wiggle it between the slot. You don’t insert it through the usual space. See the card stock sticking out of the upper part of the punch? *If you don’t want the usual size of your punch this is how it’s done.

Here’s the inside view of this card with the upper flap lifted:

And here’s the view with both flaps lifted:

Notice the colored die-cut on the White layer here? I cut that die from the White layer and sponged it with Mossy Meadow ink. Then re-inserted it into the White CS. I love this effect!

If you’d like the free project sheet for this card layout click here. You can download or print it off. It includes measurements, supplies, photos and step by step directions. If you’re loving my free project sheets I suggest you create a file on your computer and save them all there. Easy inspiration!

I’ll share the last card tomorrow. Don’t miss it!

Below is the video tutorial for this card and two more.

• Thoughtful Blooms; punch art vase & flowers!

  March 19, 2020

  ---

  I made this cute, springy card on Facebook Live yesterday.  It features the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set and Small Bloom punch.  Both are free right now with an order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  

  

  That cute vase is made with the Tailored Tag punch.  Punch from patterned paper and cut it in half!

  You can see all of our free products here on the Sale-a-Bration page.  The Thoughtful Blooms stamp set is full of cute floral images and sweet greetings. 

  

  It coordinates with the Small Bloom punch seen here.  *This punch may return in the annual catalog this summer but you can get it free now! 

  I used a bit of the Brights 6 X 6" designer series paper.  That's where the cute gingham designs come from.  Did you know we have gingham paper in every single color right now?  Each of our 6 color families have an assorted package with every color in the pack!  So cool!  The photo only shows one color but includes them all. See them all here. 

  

  Details:

  • White stitched rectangle is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies
  • Daffodil layer is 4 1/4" X 3 1/4"
  • main card is White thick card stock 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" 
  • Vase is made with the Tailored Tag punch
  • The greeting is punched with the Classic Label punch
  • the gingham paper is 1" X 2" – 2 pieces; one for the top and one for the bottom.  No waste underneath the layers! 

   

  

  Here's the video where I made this card:

• Golden Honey Birthday Candles! So cute!

  March 18, 2020

  ---

  I saw a card like this online and HAD to make one! I believe the original designer is Libby Fens. Look at this colorful, clever card!

  

  I wish I'd come up with the idea myself but I cased it.  Sometimes I feel a bit guilty casing from others. But when people case me I take it as a huge compliment. So I get over my guilt pretty quickly! 😉

  The candles are made from the Golden Honey specialty designer paper that was available as part of our Sale-a-Bration offering.  It is now sold out but I know many of you own it already so I thought I'd share the card for you.  Or maybe you own some similar patterned paper you could use instead.

  The candles are about 3/8" wide and 3" tall.  The paper is originally white with gold diagonal dashes.  I colored them in with Blends markers in light and dark of each color.  The colors are Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.  

  For the flames I punched out a daisy from the Medium Daisy punch in Gold Glimmer paper.  I cut off the petals and adhered them under the top of each candle.  Then I popped up each candle with mini dimensionals.  

  Other Details

  • The Let's Celebrate You greeting is from Bonanza Buddies set on page 34 of the 2020 January-June mini catalog. 
  • The stitched rectangle is from the Stitched so Sweetly dies
  • Granny Apple Green

  Here's a view of the Stitched So Sweetly bundle; it includes a fabulous stamp set and amazing dies.  If you buy it this month you'll earn a free Sale-a-Bration choice!  See it here.

• Card kit to go; craft safely in your own home!

  March 17, 2020

  There have been many closures and cancellations announced this week due to the Corona Virus.  I am continuing to hold my small events so far as most are under 10 people.  But if you're playing it safe and staying home, I have a great option for you to continue to craft in your home.  

  This month's card kit to go includes 10 pre-cut cards, $20 in product (so you can make more!) and a free written pdf tutorial. 

  
  

  Here's one of the cards in the kit.  

  

  It's a fun fold card that really shows off the gorgeous Peaceful Poppies designer paper. 

  Here's a link to get the details on this kit.  It includes $20 in products (Designer paper, sequins and twine) and 10 pre-cut cards along with the pdf tutorial.  All of the many die-cuts are even done for you. 

  Email me at lagreff60@gmail.com by Thursday, March 19th. That's the cut off date. 

  The stamps are from the Peaceful Poppies set seen here.  Add it on plus another $9 in product and you'll get a free Sale-a-Bration choice when I combine it with the product included in your kit.  Don't miss out!  My gals love their kits each month!
