Fresh, new color combination with Inked &Tiled – fun fold with video tutorial too

I've been working double time getting ready to leave for our Norway cruise – this year's incentive trip with Stampin' Up!  I'm thrilled to go on this year's trip with my husband.  He's a fabulous traveling partner!

Depending on WIFI, I hope to share photos on Facebook and Instagram while we're gone.

"Fewer than 1% of Stampin’ Up!’s demonstrators worldwide achieve this trip."

I'm not usually a Subtles or Neutrals kind of gal but I sure love this beautiful color combination!  It's Gray Granite, Petal Pink with a bit of our new Pebbled Path.  

Save

What do you think?  I haven't Gray Granite often because I never found a color to pair it with.  But Pebbled Path is gorgeous and among the same color tones. And add Petal Pink and it's beautiful!  

I stamped the large leaf image repeatedly on the Gray Granite layer. The greeting is on a white die-cut from the Timeless Arrangements dies. I added a few of the pretty die-cuts under the greeting before layering a folded piece of ribbon (Ribbon Duo Combo Pack) and then to the punched & textured Petal Pink circle.  

My card is an easy Z-fold – 4 1/4" X 11" card base scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".

I added lots of texture with the Timeless Arrangements dies.  The pretty 'Hello' greeting is from the new Layering Leaves stamp set. It's a new favorite and I LOVE that it matches the Bough punch!  See it here.

Isn't it a beautiful set?

• Card base 4 ¼” X 11” score at 2 ¾” & 5 ½”

• Super Easy Fun Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

  I shared this simple but unique fun fold card on last week's Live video.  It's a great card fold and makes great use of your designer paper too.  

  Save

  It's called a back fold and is so easy to make! The greeting layers are adhered to the right edge of this card. It holds the left flap closed but opens easily since there is a scored line. I hope you watch the video below to see how it's done. 

  It features our Take a Bow designer series paper from the Holiday catalog.  I also used the Christmas Labels bundle for my greeting image and die-cut. 

  Save

  The White die-cut is from the set of dies but it was quite easy to layer a red shape under it.  I fussy cut the upper & lower edges to match. The green glimmer die-cuts are from the Winterly Tree Tops dies and our Festive Glimmer paper.

  Below is the video I made for this card and another diagonal fun fold card. Both of these make great use of your designer paper!  I hope you watch and make some.

  I shared this super cute fun fold card on last week's Live video. It has lots of layers but it's so easy to make!  

  Save

  Besides the bright, happy holiday colors in the Take a Bow DSP I love that this fun fold uses your cardstock efficiently. Each diagonally cut card base is one half of an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of CS. I forgot to take a photo of this aspect but I do share it in the video seen here. 

  Below is a photo that shows how it opens and the pocket available for the optional gift card.

  My colors include Real Red & Garden Green with White. The diagonal layers are also easy to do.  Start with a rectangle and cut it in half on the diagonal making sure you cut it to match the diagonal. 

  My greeting & White die-cut is from the Christmas Labels bundle which is on the Last Chance list right now. See it here. 

  The Red die-cut is from Greetings of the Season dies and the pine bough die-cuts are from the Winterly Tree Tops and made from the Festive Glimmer paper.

  I added a double bow made from Red &  White Baker's Twine and Peppermint dots that are currently unavailable but will return at the end of December.  *They are NOT on the Last Chance list so they should be available for awhile!
