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!

• Dragonfly Garden Quick Fun-fold Card with video!

  June 15, 2021

  ---

  We made this pretty dragonfly card at last month's Card Clubs.  

  I knew I wanted to use the new In Color shimmer vellum and thought the Dragonflies punch would work perfectly.  It sure did!  I wish you could see the shimmer in person; it's beautiful! 

  

  They had a choice of Polished Pink or Fresh Freesia for their card and could punch a variety of colors for their dragonflies.  

  

  We used the Dragonfly Garden stamp set which is bundled with the Dragonflies punch in the bundle seen here. See how the wings are curled?  The bone folder works beautifully for this.  *Watch the video below to see how it's done. 

  Tip: I recommend using Stazon Black ink when stamping on the vellum so it dries quickly. Vellum paper doesn't 'absorb' ink easily so it can stay wet a long time. 

  

  Below are the measurements for you and Download May Dragonfly Garden fun fold here

  • Black base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    Fresh Freesia or Polished Pink 3 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    In Good Taste Designer paper 3" X 5 1/4"
    White strip 1" X 3"
    Shimmer Vellum scraps for Dragonfly punches

• Plentiful Plants Cards

  June 14, 2021

  ---

  I took some time to play with the new Plentiful Plants bundle last week and came up with these cards: 

  

  Can you believe that both the brick, the pots and leaves are all cut from the designer paper?  I did stamp the plant on the left but the others are all die-cut from the Bloom Where You're Planted DSP. I love when Stampin' Up! gives us paper and dies that coordinate.  

  

  The bottom Soft Succulent CS is made with the Stitched Leaves die; one of my new favorites!  See it here.  

  ~~~

  This next card also features the Bloom Where You're Planted DSP. 

  

  Each of the three plants & pots are from the DSP except for the bowl in the center.  That is a die-cut made from Cinnamon Cider CS.  I placed them on a die-cut from the Hippo & Friends dies.  I sponged the bottom with Cinnamon Cider ink.  

  This card is 4 1/4" X 11" and scored at 1 1/4" and 6 3/4".  The right flap is glued down and has a 1" X 4" Soft Succulent strip adhered to it.  It was textured with the Macrame 3D embossing folder seen here. 

  

  You can see this suite here.

• Bright Color Combo card with the new Watercolor Shapes set

  June 11, 2021

  ---

  I have lots of creative challenges for my Flowerbug's Team and this time it was a color challenge featuring Night of Navy, Magenta Madness & Granny Apple Green.  Fun, vibrant colors I knew would be fun to play with. 

  

  I cut off an inch from the right edge of my Navy card and added a strip of Granny Apple Green DSP on the inside edge.  

  I chose to use a stamp set that I hadn't used yet; Watercolor Shapes seen here.  

  

  I stamped the watercolor shapes all over the 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" White CS but I did stamp off first for a lighter hue.  The greeting stands out more then. 

  I found a 'hello' greeting in each of the following stamp sets; Blossoms in Bloom, Create with Friends, Timeless Tropical, Sweet as a Peach, Artistically Inked & Sweet Strawberry.  I had no idea we had that many 'hello's' in our sets! 

  What do you think of this color combination?  

  

  I stamped a few of these images twice and fussy cut them so I could add some dimension to the card front.  I also added the new In Color Square Gems and a few of the Clear Epoxy Essentials that I colored Granny Apple Green with a Blends marker.
