Diamond Gatefold fun fold card with Season of Green & Gold specialty paper – video too!

September 16, 2024

On last week's Live video I created this beautiful fun fold card. It shows off both sides of our double sided designer paper beautifully!

I chose to feature the stunning Season of Green & Gold specialty designer series paper seen here online. It's filled with shades of green with gold foil accents and is part of our Online product line.

I cased my friend Susie Wood who made the card on the left below:

She used the Regal Flora designer paper in Cherry Cobbler with Blackberry Bliss. So very pretty! Find more projects by my talented friend from Iowa here on her blog.

I love this neat fold!

Details:

The pretty gold die-cut is from the Peaceful Season bundle seen here.
The greeting is from the Something Fancy stamp set seen here
The leaf die-cuts are from the Delicate Forest dies seen here

Look at the extra details inside too. Wedding cards are fun because you can go over the top a bit! This gorgeous card will be given to my youngest son who's getting married this week. I'm so thrilled for him and his fiance'. We're excited to welcome her into our family!

It used a pieces of designer paper measuring 12" X 5 1/4" that is adhered to a card base of 4 1/4" X 5 1/2". It's scored at 2", 4", 8" and 10". Then the corners are folded down. Here's the simple template I drew:

Blossoms in Bloom; cut for 2 cards at once!

June 9, 2020

The Blossoms in Bloom bundle seen here was a big hit at my New Catalog open house event last week. Everyone was amazed at the many options you have with the dies and stamps.

Look at these pretty cards! They're made from one set of dies cut in half to create two cards at once.

Save

On these cards I die-cut one full set of flowers with both the thin and the thicker die in White. Then I sponged each of them with the following colors: Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green.

Save

When you purchase this bundle you're getting a discount of 10% off. It's always nice to get a break on the price. It's also one of the 34 Bundles you can choose free when you purchase the Stampin' Up! starter kit here.

Besides the pretty distinktive flowers look at all of the greetings you get in the stamp set! And the flower dies are nice and large and fill up a standard card fully. Or use just half like I did!

Save

I added some sequins in the flower centers and added a heat embossed greeting from this stamp set to both cards.

The white layer is 3 3/4" X 5", the black is 4" X 5 1/4" on the standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" Coastal Cabana card base.

Save

I hope you enjoy the idea of getting two cards from one set of die-cuts. I have more cards to share with you featuring this bundle; it's quite amazing!

Jar of Flowers shaker card

June 8, 2020

I'm sure many of you have seen cards made with this pretty Jar of Flowers bundle seen here. It's one of our reversible stamps; you get the outline and the solid jar on one stamp! It's only $36.75 for the bundle. I know it's going to be a go to set for many of us. I have lots of ideas with this set and I love that it comes with Mason Jar Shaker Domes!

Save

I just had to try making a jar filled with water & beads! When I bring flowers into the house from the garden that's usually how I display them.

Save

Mine is filled with clear hand sanitizer (I had it right beside me) and our new Flowers for Every Season gems. And with my method the sanitizer does not leak out onto the card stock!

I stamped the flowers in Soft Suede and colored them in with Blends markers – Daffodil combo, Light Flirty Flamingo and Dark Mint Macaron. I added the ribbon in two different ways. On the left I secured it behind the dome. On the right I adhered the cut ends on the dome. You can see how I did both on the video below.

Save

I hope you take time to watch it; you'll get tips on making a liquid filled shaker card and on coloring with the Blends too.

The Starter Kit is $99 and you get $125 in product of your choice, free shipping and the extra free bundle. So far four people have purchased it and joined my Flowerbug's Team; in less than a week!
