Unique Double Triangle fun fold with free project sheet & video

Today I’m sharing a super neat fun fold card from last week’s video. I featured brand new products from our Online store. The suite is called Delicate Dreams and it’s beautiful! See it here.

I shared two of the cards here in the last few days. Today I’m sharing the most unique one.

Both upper and lower triangles pull out to reveal this:

It’s made from two scored pieces that overlap in the center. I scored each on at 5 1/2″ and then at an angle as well. Please watch the video below to see how it’s done. It’s fairly confusing to use the tutorial only.

This is how it looks when you open the right side only.

I stamped the ‘wheat’ looking image using Stazon ink because the Earthen Toned Metallic foil would resist a water-based ink. This specialty foil paper coordinates beautifully with the bronze print in this DSP.

That pretty ribbon is the Secret Sea open weave ribbon. The greeting is from January’s product of the Month – the Fabulous Sayings stamp set. It’s sold out now; they’re available only while supplies last.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to download or print it.

Below is the video tutorial for these cards; be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel. Or follow me on Facebook here; I share a video almost every Tuesday at 11 am CT.

• Sweet Songbirds bundle with our newest Stampin’ Up! In Colors

  May 16, 2022

  ---

  For my In Color display board I made these 5 cards with the new Sweet Songbirds stamp set & punch bundle.  

  

  These colors are so vibrant and striking; they are a wonderful addition to our Stampin' Up! color line.  

  I used this sketch for inspiration.  I find card sketches can be one of the easiest ways to create and design a card.  

  

  The squares of In Color Designer Paper are  2 1/4" and the White layers are 2 1/2".  The greeting strips are 5/8" X 4 1/4".  

  

  The sweet birds are stamped in each In Color and punched out with the Bird punch.  I punched the wings from our In Color Glimmer Ombre paper.

• Nature’s Prints 5 sheet wonder; these 5 templates make creating so easy!

  May 13, 2022

  ---

  It's been awhile since I made a group of cards with my 5 sheet wonder templates.  The Nature's Prints stamp set was a perfect choice for it.  

  And playing with three of our newest In Colors paired with Navy & White helped create these beautiful cards. 

  

  I'm holding a class on Wednesday, May 25th at 6 pm here in Minot, ND for my local customers. RSVP to attend by May 22nd. You can see my PDF tutorial on my shop here.  I am not offering it as a kit to go at this time. 

  I chose the new colors of Starry Sky, Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis to start with.  I needed a 4th color and wanted to stick with the blues and greens so I added Navy to the mix.  

  My greetings and images are all from the Nature's Prints stamp set seen here.  

  How do my 5 sheet wonder templates work?  Here are the steps:

  1. Choose at least 4 colors of ink and card stock for your cards.  
  2. Choose a stamp set that has a variety of images, from large to small. It helps if they are non directional (okay stamped in different directions). 
  3. Print out Template A on White CS and stamp the non printed side with the images and inks you chose creating your own paper. *You could use DSP but you'll want to print on the reverse side. Here is mine below: 

  

  3. Turn the stamped piece over and cut on the printed lines.  (I print my card stock with a printer but if your printer will not work with card stock you can have a copy place print them for you.  Or just use the template measurements as a guide. 

  4. You'll also print templates B-E on four other colors of card stock.  Cut on the printed lines (you'll use the reverse side for your cards).  

  5. You'll need 10 card bases in the colors you chose.  Place them on the table and add all of the cut pieces over each card base.  Tip; Use contrasting colors.  If there are many dark pieces I use a light card base and if there are mostly light pieces like the examples below, I'll use a dark card base.  

  

  6.  Now you'll assemble the cards using my finished samples as a guide. 

  7.  You'll stamp your greetings using a variety of punched or die-cut pieces and finish your cards, adding ribbon or gems as desired.  

  Easy, no measuring cards that are BEAUTIFUL and multi-layered.  You can see my 5 sheet wonder PDF tutorial here on my Shop site.  The PDF tutorial includes multiple card and color examples.

• An easy double flap fun fold layout with Pretty Prints DSP. A video, measurements and a gift card option!

  May 12, 2022

  ---

  I love fun fold cards that stay closed AND are easy for the recipient to figure out.  This double flap fancy fold card is just that!

  

  We made them on Monday night's Stamp with Me Live.  You can watch the video here. 

  

  These cards feature the Pretty Prints designer paper seen here.  It's NEW in the 2022-23 Stampin' Up! Annual catalog.  There are multiple prints all in these 4 colors – Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay and Evening Evergreen.  

  

  I used two stamp sets here; both new in the new Annual catalog.  Good Feelings seen here and Botanical Layers seen here.  

  

  One of my favorite things about this fun fold layout is that you can choose to fold or trim it off at the 1 1/2" mark.  Folding it inside creates a pocket for a gift card.  Trimming it off shortens it.  Your choice!  Or make a few of each like I did.  

  

  The die-cut butterflies from Brilliant Wings dies add a pretty touch to these botanical cards. The lower butterfly is added just beyond the outside corner flap to anchor it closed.  So easy and keeps the card laying flat.  

  

  Here's the video; just click on the photo below to watch it.
