Favored Flowers SAB fun fold card with video


I hope you've had a wonderful Christmas weekend.  We sure did.  It was crazy busy trying to fit all of our annual activities into three days.  But we did it!  I sure love having my kids home for the holidays; we all look forward to it!

We have a few traditions; one is an appetizer show down. Each one of us makes an appetizer for Christmas eve and we vote on them.  We vote on taste AND presentation.  This year my granddaughter won with her Pizza Monkey Bread with marinara dipping sauce.  I came in second with Spanakopita.

    

The other fun thing we do is play Minute to Win It games.  We had a golf putting game, build the tallest snowman with marshmallows, Corn Hole, name the items in the stocking, moving mini marshmallows from one bow to another with a straw, filling a bowl with bows using a spatula blindfolded.  It's always a blast.  Funny story…. I always buy random presents for winners but totally forgot this year.  And I won!  Sheesh!

I shared this pretty card on last week's Facebook Live.  I'm not sure what this fold is called though!

The center panel lifts up.  It's 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  The center DSP is 3" X 4" and so is the inside white panel.  

The flowers on the front White oval are fussy cut from the designer paper. This beautiful paper is free with a $50 order starting January 5th during Sale-a-Bration.  

I used Blackberry Bliss card stock since it matches the designer paper so well.  

  • Card base 5 ½” X 4 1/4", 3 ¼” X 8 ½” scored at 4 1/4"
  • White inside & DSP 3" X 4", DSP side pieces are 1" X 4" and 1 1/4" X 4"

The greeting is from another Beautifully Happy stamp set; also a free choice during Sale-a-Bration.  It's a big 17 piece Photopolymer set that's free with a $100 order from January 5th – February 28th. 

Here's the video showing how to make this card and another snowflake version too:

  • Gorgeous Night Divine Fun fold card


    We held our monthly Team swap this weekend and I'm thrilled to share the cards with you! Our themed was Christmas cards. 

    First is this stunning card made by Roxann:

    She chose the Night Divine bundle seen here. Unfortunately I noticed the stamp set is out of stock now; it should be back in a few weeks.  She also used the O Holy Night designer paper seen here.  

    Here's the bundle: such beautiful greetings and the dies…!! 

    You can see her fun fold a little better in this image below:

    Measurements:

    • Night of Navy card base 5 1/2" X 8" score at 1", 2" and 5", panel under greeting is 1 7/8" square 
    • left vertical piece 3 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4"
    • Vanilla inside front and back are 5 1/4" X 2 3/4", greeting 1 3/4" square
    • Designer paper 5 1/5" X 7/8" strip on lower front, 3 1/8" X 1 3/4" panel under nativity, sky is 3 1/8" X 2 1/2" 

    Here's the back side; she textured it with the Stars at Night embossing folder and added a donkey die-cut.  

    The O Holy Night designer paper has been in and out of stock the past month of so.  It's currently back in stock!

  • Artist of the Month projects with the Bag of Bones suite!


    Our Artist of the Month for September was Candy who chose the Bag of Bones bundle. She did an incredible job on her projects! 

    The suite is no longer available because the Glow in the Dark bats & ghosts have been discontinued. This means you can still get everything else individually. 

    First is a card showing off both the Bag of Bones bundle and the Them Bones designer paper.

    She tore her paper and pieces it on her card base.  Then she stamped the skeleton using Versmark onto Black card stock heat embossing it with White embossing powder. Love the boots and hat on him!  The circles are die-cuts from the new Deckled Circle dies in the 2023 Holiday catalog.  

    Here's the Them Bones designer paper: 

    Next is a neat monochromatic card in Basic Gray and Gray Granite.  She stamped the background with the skeleton bones!

    The tombstone, fence, bats, cat and dog are all die-cuts from the Bag of Bones bundle. The dog and cat are stamped on our Glow in the Dark specialty paper.  You must use Stazon in for this or it may run. She sponged on gray ink onto the tombstone and fence for a 'spooky' look.  

    Next is a cute treat holder made with that same tombstone die-cut.  She simply added a few strips of card stock inside the two die-cuts to create a pouch.  

     

     

     

     

    This card is so fun; she featured a panel from the Them Bones designer paper to show off the dancing skeleton.  Love his suspenders, hat and bow tie!!  

    These skeletons are all heat embossed with White embossing powder onto Black card stock. You can see a few of the glow in the dark bats and ghosts here.  Unfortunately they are sold out now and will not return.  

    Here's a slimline card showing off more of the Them Bones designer paper.  Her colors are Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze. 

    Isn't it cute how the skeleton on the bottom has his dog on a leash?!  

    This next card shows off a neat background effect.  She used the Deckled Circle dies 

    The background is made by sponging on the houndstooth mask (Abundant Beauty decorative masks) then debossed it with the Distressed Tile embossing folder. She then dragged the Blackberry Bliss ink pad across it.  Cool!  

    Didn't she create a fabulous group of projects. She truly showcased this Halloween suite wonderfully!  Fantastic job Candy!!!

  • Pick of the Patch Diamond Flap fun fold card.


    I created this super fun card on a video a few weeks ago. It features the Pick of the Patch stamp & punch bundle and Them Bones designer series paper.  

    I was inspired by a card my friend Susie Wood made and sent to me. She is fabulous at designing fun fold cards and an amazing designer. Check out her blog here. 

    She used the same designer paper and the Leaf Fall embossing folder but her stamp set is Cheers to the Season seen here. 

    Here's the inside view. You can see the Leaf Fall embossing folder here.

    This card starts out at 10 1/2" X 4 1/4" and with a few score lines and a trim of the end points, you'll achieve this neat fun fold. 

    *Here's the free printable project sheet: Download Diamond Flap fun fold card

    Below is the video; click on it to see how this card is made.
