Curtain fun fold card with video & free project sheet

I shared this neat curtain fold card on a video last week.  If you missed it click here to see it.  Or slide down a bit.  

Save

I chose a few new products from the Spring catalog including the wonderful With You in Mind stamp set & Timeless Plaid designer series paper.  The colors include Lost Lagoon with Pebbled Path & White.  

If you haven't made a curtain fold yet they're quite easy if you get the scoring correct.  I got these measurements from my friend Susie Wood.  It's a 6" X 3" piece of DSP scored at 2 3/4", 3 1/4", 4 1/4" & 4 3/4". I then made a mark on the far right down 1" and cut off the bottom right corner from the first score-line on the bottom to the upper right.

I made a few of these and decided to try stamping the Lost Lagoon layer instead of texturing it with the Plaid 3D embossing folder (right card).  Which do you prefer?

The greetings are stamped on a die-cut from the Greetings of the Season dies seen here.  It's a good time to order those large items like dies because you can earn free products during Sale-a-Bration.

I created a free project sheet for this card.  I recommend saving my project sheets in a folder or binder for easy card layout ideas.  *Click on the following link to download or print it.  Download With you in Mind Curtain fold

The inside greeting is from the Mixed Labels stamp set. 

Below is the video for this card and another double diagonal fold.  I hope you watch it to see the tips on assembly.  And subscribe to my YouTube Channel too!

• Lots to Celebrate stamp set & fun card ideas

  September 11, 2020

  I made time to play with the Lots to Celebrate stamp a few weeks ago and featured these cards on Tuesday's FB Live.  Remember that I host a weekly FB Live every Tuesday at 11 am CT here. Follow me so you don't miss any!

  This fun, versatile stamp set is my good friend Susie Wood's Million Dollar Achiever stamp set. She created it to coordinate with the Jar Punch.  Click here to see it online.  We've been stamping buddies for years since we met at my first Founder's Circle event and always hang out together at every SU event we can.  Click here to see her blog.

  Aren't they fun?  I cased three cards she made and sent me and changed them up a bit; some more than others.

  The colors above are Pumpkin Pie with Crushed Curry & Early Espresso.  That gorgeous designer paper is from the Plaid Tidings seen here. I used three punches here; the Fancy Tag Topper, the Jar punch and the Autumn Punch Pack.

  Watch the video below to see her original cards and how I changed them.  Plus I show more of her creative cards too.

• Look at this Amazing Gift!

  September 10, 2020

  I received quite a wonderful surprise in the mail last week from Jakelle; a demonstrator in eastern North Dakota.  Look at what she made me!  

  Save

  It's a 5 X 7" board on an easel and her craftmanship is incredible! She used sooo many different dies & products to complete it. 

  • Tasteful Labels, Playful Alphabet & So Much Happy dies
  • Lovely Labels Pick a Punch
  • In Good Taste Designer Series Paper
  • Nothing's Better Than stamp set

  Save

  She sent this gorgeous card too, congratulating me on my Million Dollar in Sales achievement.

  Isn't it beautiful?  She used the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and dies bundle and the In Good Taste DSP.  If you want to know how to make this Double-point fun fold card here's a link to a video I made.  

  I am so grateful for the fabulous friends I've made; both online and in person.  I would say I have the best job ever; but it doesn't feel like a job!  I'm loving it.  And like my stamp set says, Life is Beautiful!

• Life is Beautiful Apple Tree; get the secret to easy apples!

  September 9, 2020

  ---

  Here's one more card with my Life is Beautiful stamp set. We made this one at my August Card Clubs.  

  Save

  The colors are the new In Color Just Jade with Early Espresso & Real Red.  See the tiny 'apples' on the tree?  Well I wanted just a few apples from the large bokeh dots image. I have a surprising way of stamping just a few of the stamp image.  I dare you to try it!  Watch the video below to see what I did! 

  That pretty stitched shape is from the Celebration Label dies seen here.  There are 5 sizes of this shape in the set! 

  Save

  
  

  I'm so happy with all of the projects people are making with this stamp set!  It's been fun to see how much everyone seems to like it!  

  Measurements: 

  • Just Jade card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    Very Vanilla 4 3/8" X 3 1/8" die-cut
    Early Espresso 2" X 4 1/4"
    Real Red 1" X 5 1/2"
