Changing up this fancy fold from a men’s card to glitzy!


I created this neat double-flap fancy fold card for last month's Card Clubs.  It features the He's the Man suite seen here or on pages 78-79 of the 2022-23 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!   

The colors include Soft Succulent, Early Espresso & White. 

Details:

  • The White & banner die-cuts are from the All That dies; but get the stamp set & dies in a bundle at an extra 10% off here.  
  • The DSP is from the He's the Man paper
  • All greetings are from the He's All That stamp set. 
  • The background is stamped using Versamark ink on the Soft Succulent panel. 
  • The inside white is a die-cut using the Deckled Rectangle dies seen here. 

I created a video showing you how to make it; click here to watch.  Or scroll down to the bottom of this post.  It looks hard but is sooo easy!  

Measurements

• Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"; cut off 1 1/2" of the card front.
• side flap is 3" X 3 3/4" scored at 1/2" on the long side
• He's the Man DSP 2 1/2" X 5 1/4"
• White inside 4" X 5 1/4"

I had left-over packets of this card we made for club last month and decided to change it up for a totally new look!  

I switched out the He's the Man designer paper to the Texture Chic Specialty paper.  I also added a few vellum leaves from the Bough punch and a Gold die-cut accent from the Painted Label dies. 

The greeting is from the Good Feelings stamp set; the label is the new Handmade Tag punch in the Holiday catalog. 

This card features a die-cut butterfly from the Brilliant Wings dies.  The butterfly wing actually holds the left flap closed.  

I love the double flap of this fancy fold!   Here are all three versions of my 'make-over' cards.  I love switching it up to create something totally different and the Texture Chic specialty paper doesn't disappoint!  

And here's the video to see how it's made.  Click on the photo below to watch it.

  • A gorgeous sunset with Mountain Air bundle!


    How about another beautiful scene with the Mountain Air bundle?  This time it's a striking sunset.  

    You cannot go wrong with this amazing stamp and dies bundle!  

    Here I stamped the mountains and trees in Black ink and sponged the pretty background. I punched out a 1 1/2" circle from post-it paper and adhered it to my White card stock before I sponged.  

    Details:

    • I used these inks: Black Memento, Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Melon Mambo, Cherry Cobbler
    • The greeting dies are from the Well Written set here
    • The black die-cut trees on the left are from the Majestic Mountain dies.

  • Ombre sponging technique with Flowering Foils


    Before I talk about today's project I have to let you know that they Golden Honey Designer Paper is no longer available.  It was one of the free choices during Sale-a-Bration.  Unfortunately these products are only available while supplies last. So don't delay on your orders!  

    This next card is a version of a card I'm sending to my new Team members who purchased the Starter kit this month.  I chose to use Bermuda Bay with Black and White; you know the 'Black & White with a pop of color' theme.  It's a classic and always works! 

    I started out with a 2" X 5" strip of the Flowering Foils specialty designer paper.  It's gorgeous with silver and rose gold foil designs. You can see it here.  It's a free choice with any $50 order while supplies last.  

    I inked a wedge of sponge in Bermuda Bay ink and lightly sponged from bottom up.  I always start off of the card stock when I want a smooth look.  Also sponge in a soft circular motion; almost like you are washing it.  You can see me demo this in my FB Live video here. 

    Other Details:

    • Rare Blessings stamp set for the greeting
    • Stitched So Sweetly dies
    • pearls are colored with the dark Bermuda Bay Blends marker
    • The flower is fussy cut from the same designer paper and colored with light Bermuda Bay Blends marker

  • Gorgeous Flowering Foils projects video


    Yesterday I shared 5 projects featuring the stunning Flowering Foils specialty designer paper on my weekly Facebook Live video. Every Tuesday at 11 am CT; tune in here:

    This specialty paper is my top pick from the new 2nd Release Sale-a-Bration items.  It's FREE with any $50 order!  See it here.

    Here are three of the cards I shared in the FB video. These photos do not do them justice!  The colors are Silver, White, Petal Pink and Rose Gold. The greetings are all from the Rare Blessings stamp set seen here. 

    I made a pretty stitched frame with the Stitched Rectangles dies and Silver Foil paper.  Added a greeting and a fussy cut flower from the Flowering Foils paper.  I sponged it with Petal Pink ink for a bit of soft color. 

    Check out this 'One Sheet Box' made from one 12 X 12" sheet of Designer paper!  It's a really nice size; big enough to hold quite a few cookies inside it.  

    • Score the 12 x 12 paper at 3″ and 9 inches
    • Rotate paper and score at 1″, 3 1/2″, 6 1/2″ and 9 inches. You can watch the video below to see it made. 

    I made one with the Golden Honey specialty paper and the other with the Flowering Foils.  Both are free right now with any $50 order! Click below to watch the video.
