Fancy Fold Accordion Heart Doilies!


I dreamed of doing this fun accordion fold with the Heart Doilies in my sleep.  I rarely do that!  Do you?  


I shared how in this week's Facebook Live yesterday.  My FB Live's are usually on Tuesdays at 11 am but I was out of town so switched to Wednesday this week.  It's so simple!  And you could do this with many of our dies too!  Click below to see it.

I also traced the flap of my envelope onto the From My Heart specialty designer paper to make this card extra, extra special!  

Details:

  • The pretty soft scallops on the edge of the DSP are from the new Braided Border punch.  I did one length of it and cut it in half for both cards. 
  • The greeting is stamped on a Timeless Label punch and added to another Heart Doily.  The stamps are from the Heart to Heart stamp set seen here. 
  • I used the new sparkly Faceted Gems from the From My Heart Suite.  See them here
  • You get 40 Heart doilies in one package for $5.50; a great deal at .14 cents each.

Cutting:

  • I cut a strip of the From My Heart designer paper at 3" X 12" and cut that into two pieces 3" X 5 1/2" long.  The hearts are the reverse side of the pretty foil double sided designer paper on the envelope.  When you use these measurements you can get 8 cards from one sheet!  It's a great way to use up the designer paper you may be 'hoarding'. 
  • The white layer inside is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"; my favorite size for inside cards as you can get 5 from one sheet of 8 1/2" X 11".  

I folded each doily in half and glued each one to the next just on the outer curve.   I adhered the folded doilies to the card with either Tombo liquid adhesive or Tear & Tape; it's super strong!

  • Cool technique for a background made with our new shimmer brushes


    Take your new Shimmer Brushes for a test drive with this darling DIY background idea. Stampin’ Up! posted this card idea; what a super neat plaid background!

    Here’s how you do it:

    Step 1: Draw diagonal lines on Basic White Cardstock using the Barely Blush Shimmer Brush. (Use the Clear Block F as a guide.) Apply light pressure to create fine lines; increase pressure for thicker lines.

     Step 2: Rotate your cardstock and (using the Clear Block F) draw additional lines to create a plaid pattern.

     Step 3: Decorate your sparkling background with images, sentiments, and embellishments, then adhere the finished piece to the card base.

    We now have 5 colors of these Shimmer Brushes in each of our new In Colors. See them all here.

    I hope this technique inspires you to try it. I think you could also do it with our Wink of Stella on any color CS.

    I have one Mystery Box left!
    Place an order over $100 to grab it before it’s gone.

  • More Team swaps!


    Here are a few more of the Team swaps featuring brand new catalog products.

    Jacki created this striking card with the Scalloped Blooms bundle seen here.

    Her colors include Melon Mambo, Black & White. Those scalloped circle dies are so fun aren’t they? The leaf die-cuts are from the Delicate Whispers dies seen here.

    Next is a striking card made by Joan: She chose to highlight the Scenic Coast DSP.

    She also used the Relaxing Waterside bundle seen here. Love that chair! As you might guess, it’s a fun fold ‘bridge card’.

    Super cool! To make this card you’ll start with a 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ card base, scored at 4 1/4″. Now use the paper trimmer to cut up to the score line on each side at 1 1/4″.
    The DSP is 2 3/4″ X 4″ and on the sides it’s 1″ X 4″. There’s also a lower and an upper strip that is 5 1/4″ X 1″.

    Great cards ladies! I’ll share more later this week.
