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:

  • Super neat fun fold card that’s easy with my tips! Free project sheet & video tutorial

    You're going to love this neat fun fold card I'm sharing today.  

    Cheers Celebratory Sips fold Save

    It doesn't look like much of a fun fold card does it? Look a bit closer to the right pink flap on this card; see how it's sticking up a bit at the bottom? That's where it opens.  

    I featured the Sentimental Framing stamp set seen here on the pretty greeting here.

    The layered circles are from the Spotlight on Nature dies and the 2 3/8" circle punch. The leaf die-cut is from the Gallery Blooms dies. My colors include Bubble Bath with Mossy Meadow & Blackberry Bliss.  

    Here's how it opens. The horizontal strip holds the right side of the card base closed with a type of 'latch'.

    I hope you watch the video below to see how easy this fold is.

  • 3 Stamping Tips you need to know!

    I thought I'd share some of my favorite tips with you today.  

    • how to use a ruler – some people find this extremely challenging
    • standard card sizes and layers
    • which ink to use when coloring with markers

    First up is the ruler and card measurements.  Understanding measurements can make card making so much easier!

    I hope the above graphic helps you when you're creating a card. Save it or print it out.

    Next I have a helpful photo for coloring your stamped images.  It's very important to use the correct ink to prevent smearing as you color. 

    Which ink to use for coloring Save

    I do also want to share a few more tips for coloring:

    • Use Stazon ink when coloring with colored pencils, blender pens, water painters or when picking up our Classic ink from your ink pad.

    ~~~

    Lastly is a list of the three types of stamps Stampin' Up! offers.  It might be hard to read so I'll share the details in this list:

    1. Photopolymer stamps are entirely transparent and adhere to your clear block. They're flexible and easy to use; especially with 2-step use.  
    2. Clink stamps are made of high-quality rubber. They cling like crazy to our clear blocks. 
    3. Distinktive stamps are a photo-realistic image with a special texture that give added depth and dimension with a single stamp.

    *I hope one or more of these tips help you.  Let me know which one or two you learned from today.
