Flight & Airy surprise accordion fold with video & free project sheet

I shared this beautiful card in last week's Live video. We also made it at my local Card Clubs as well.

There are so many fabulous projects and features on this pretty card front I'll list them here:

• The colors are Fresh Freesia with Boho Blue & White.
• The Fresh Freesia layer is first cut with the Perennial Postage dies before texturing. 
• The beautiful texture is from the Layering Floral 3D embossing folder seen here.  I cannot recommend this folder enough!  I rubbed my Craft White ink pad directly over the deep texture to highlight the flowers. *watch the video
• The pretty butterfly is from our Paper Butterfly Accents. We added Boho Blue & Fresh Freesia ink to it with Blending Brushes. 
• The greeting stamps are from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set.  It's one of our free choices with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration.  See it here. 
• The White greeting label is made by punching the ends of a 1" wide strip of card stock with our Handmade Tag punch.  It's layered onto the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.
• See the Flight & Airy designer paper here.  It's another free Sale-a-Bration choice with a $50 order through February, or while supplies last.
• The inside layers were also made with the Perennial Postage dies (like the front layer) 

But the coolest thing about this card is that you get a fun surprise once you open it!

There's a full strip of Flight or Fancy designer paper inside, folded accordion style in the center. This leaves the outer areas flat for adding greetings etc.  Remember there's a video tutorial to watch here or below.

You can add more labels, greetings or punches on each of the accordion folds as well if you wish.

• Clever & Amazing interactive triple-tier cake card with video tutorial!

  This card might look like an ordinary card with a layered cake on front but it's not!

  Each layer opens up to reveal more inside! Click on the very short video below to see it in action!

  The Bright & Beautiful designer paper is new in Stampin' Up!'s annual catalog.  It's filled with fun and colorful patterns in many of our new core colors.  Love this paper!

  If you've followed me for awhile you know I like to create interesting fun fold cards. I saw something like this card online and knew my stampers would like to see it.  

  I cut strips or pieces of the Bright & Beautiful designer paper into sizes that would make a nicely layered cake.  Each piece is folded in half. Once you open them there's an inside message on each layer.  So cool! 

  And the best thing is that the middle star die-cut hold the lower flap closed which then holds each layer closed.

• Have you made a ‘Book-binding Easel’ card yet? It’s so neat!

  May 12, 2023

  ---

  This cool card is made like a traditional book binding fold but turned into an easel card too! 

  Save

  I used Berry Burst & Misty Moonlight or Blueberry Bushel for my layers. That cute tag on the front is from the Beautiful Balloons dies.  The stars that hold up the easel are die-cuts from the same dies.  You need to add a Dimensional on one of them. Watch the video here or scroll down.

  I stamped the inside with the banner in multiple colors, some stamped off.

• Beautiful Balloons with Bright & Beautiful designer series paper

  May 11, 2023

  ---

  I've been playing with the Beautiful Balloons bundle and thought making my own background with the balloon images would be cool.  

  Save

  I chose a few of our newest colors to compliment the Bright & Beautiful designer series paper seen here.  My colors are Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Boho Blue.  I love that the images appear somewhat translucent like real balloons.  

  Save

  *I'll be featuring this fun designer paper in next month's card kit to go. 

  It's an easy fun fold card too. I stamped the greeting on a stamped large balloon and die-cut it with one of the dies in the bundle.   

  Measurements:

  • Bubble Bath card stock is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" & scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
  • designer paper is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
  • White 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" 
  • Black 3 3/8" X 4 5/8" 

  I had fun stamping the inside (3 1/2" X 4 3/4") with the balloon string and confetti images.
