• Neat Double Decker pop-up card with measurements

  July 28, 2023

  ---

  Today I'm sharing a new pop-up fold – at least it's new to me!  It's called a Double Decker pop up. 

  Save

  Measurements: 

  • White card base 8 ½” X 5 ½” scored at 2 1/8” & 4 ¼”
  • White inside pop-up box – 3 ½” square scored at ¾”, 1 ½”, 2 ¼” and 3”
  • Front textured piece 1 7/8” X 5 ¼”
  • Scalloped White inside die-cut is 3 1/8” X 4 ½”
  • Fresh Freesia is 2 ¾” X 3 ¾”
  • Designer Paper – 2 pieces per card; 2 ½” X 3 ½” & 4” X 5 ¼”

  This card was included in my Masterfully Made card kit this month.  I still have 4 to go kits left. Or choose the PDF tutorial.  See them both here

  The pre-cut card kit includes $20 in products including a half pack of this pretty paper, 2 colors of twine and a share of sparkly sequins. 

  This unique designer paper is filled with beautiful florals and prints; some with a torn edge look. See it here.  

  Save

  The inside 'box' that pops up the scalloped rectangle layer is adhered to both the side and back of the card.  It folds flat when mailing but sure adds nice dimension when the card is opened.  

  Save

  I plan to share this card fold on a future live video soon.  Follow me here on Facebook or here on my YouTube channel.  

  Here are all 10 cards included in the kit.  You do need ink and greeting stamps to finish them.

• One Horse Open Sleigh Spanner fun fold card

  July 27, 2023

  ---

  I was surprised to see the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper back in stock.  It was unavailable last week but it's back now.  I featured it in one of my July card kits to go.  See it here online.

  Save

  This designer paper is so pretty; it's filled with beautiful scenes and soft prints. 

  It's called a spanner card because of it's unique fold – the horizontal layer spans the card from side to side.  

  Save

  I added a few die-cut trees on the right side.  I colored them with Blends markers – adding brown and Gray Granite to the white. The greeting is from the Lasting Joy stamp set. 

  The Gray Granite card base is a simple 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  Then you cut up to the score line at the 1 1/4" mark on front; on both sides. 

  I added designer paper to the center panel and also to both side panels.  The horizontal piece 'spans' under the to side panels like this: 

  Save

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4".  Cut up to the score line at 1 1/4". 
  • Horizontal layer 5 1/2" X 1"
  • Designer paper 2 3/4" X 4" and two pieces 1" X 4" for the sides. 

  Save

  This card was included in both my PDF tutorial and the pre-cut card kit to go; each card is a fancy fold.  I have just two kits left.  You can see them both here along with other kits and tutorials.

  Next is the Leaves of Holly stamp set.  It was $22 and is now just $15.25 on clearance. 

  I created these beautiful Christmas cards on a video last year.

  I call it the 5 at a time technique.  You stamp one sheet of neutral paper and then cut it into 5 pieces using my template below.  And the neat thing is the layers under the stamped White card stock are also cut using a template. Just 2 sheets of card stock to make 5 card fronts!  *Watch the video below or click here. 

  Save

  
  

  See how I stamped down the center of the White card stock on the photo above?  Next I cut it using the template below: 

  The first template is what you stamp on.  The one below is for the layers under the stamped pieces. It's just 1/8" larger for a nice thin layered accent.  

  Save

  Next is the template for the colored layers on each stamped layer.  

  
  

  Save

  Watch the video below to see how it's done.  Think about your favorite stamp sets and how fast you can create beautiful cards using these templates!
