Amazing, Fun & Easy Center-Fold card video!

We made several neat Center Flap cards on this week's Live (right here) at 7:30 pm CT. Here's my monthly FB Live schedule:
 
 
Tonight is the 4th Monday so we're stamping at 7:30 pm CT here on my FB page.  The cards are a unique Center Flap fold and SO EASY! This fold also shows off your pretty designer paper beautifully. 
 
Prep your pieces to make some.
You'll need:
  • Card stock: one piece 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", one at 3" X 5 1/2" and one 1" X 4 3/4" for flap & a neutral piece for the inside greeting at 2 3/4" X 4"
  • Designer paper: 1 piece 4" X 5 1/4" and 1 at 2 3/4" X 5 1/4"
  • A large label (punched or die-cut) for the greeting
  • Ink, a greeting image, gems & ribbon to match
The black & white card is made with the Beautifully Penned designer paper in the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  This pretty black & white paper is 12 X 12 and only available through Thursday, Sept 30th.  It's free with a $50 order here. 
 
I used the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set for the front and the Heartfelt Wishes for inside.  The die-cut is from the Stitched So Sweetly seen here.  
 
It's such a great time to order those items you've been wanting since you get something free with each $50-100 you spend!  FREE is everyone's favorite thing!  Shop here. 
Plus if you spend $50 in September you get a stack of 10 hand made cards from me as a thank you.  *see below.

    We held our monthly team swap last week and I am proud to show off their talent with you. 

    First is a pretty card made by Jane who featured the Softly Stippled designer paper seen here. 

    Jan Jane Softly Stippled Save

    She also used the Deckled Circle dies, Something Fancy & Gorgeously Made dies, along with the Something Fancy stamp set for her greeting.  Love the colors of Wild Wheat with Lost Lagoon together! 

    There are many possible color combos in this pretty designer paper. Most people pass by it in the catalog or online but in person the pretty colors and soft prints sell it!

    This Softly Stippled DSP is one of the free choices during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. Earn it free with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase. See it online here.

    Next is a fun fold card made by Paula who also chose the Softly Stippled designer paper. 

    Jan Paula Softly Stippled. Save

    Her fun fold is a 'Joy fold' turned on it's side.  Very cool.  It's filled with textures and two coordinating colors of Wild Wheat & Calypso Coral which are the colors in the pretty designer paper. Her greeting is from the Softly Sophisticated bundle and the Double Oval punch is used too. 

    Measurements:

    • Wild Wheat – card base is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", middle layer is 3" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • Calypso Coral is 4" X 8 1/2" scored at 5 1/4"
    • White textured layer is 3"X 3 3/4" (done with Basics 3D embossing folder) & inside is 2 3/4" X 4"

    Next is a beautiful monochromatic card made by Candy who chose to use the Softly Sophisticated bundle seen here.  It includes both a stamp set & the pretty embossing folder used here. 

    Jan Candy Quiet Reflection Save

    Her colors are Very Vanilla with Pecan Pie.  That main scenic image is from the Quiet Reflection stamp set seen here.  It's a distinktive set which means it provides multiple hues of color when stamped with one ink. 

    Measurements:

    • Pecan Pie card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • Vanilla 5 1/4" X 4", center is 3" square, scrap for greeting die-cut (Perennial Postage dies) 
    • Glorious Gingham 6" DSP is 4 3/4" X 1"

  • Shabby Chic Lovely & Sweet card with video tutorial & free project sheet!

    Here's the last card made in last week's video featuring the Nature's Sweetness suite. I absolutely love this color palette! 

    Lovely & Sweet Pecan Pie Save

    It's Pecan Pie with Pebbled Path & Gold accents with a rich monotone look. Look closely at the layout. It's basically a few random layers with only one that's layered.  Adding a few smaller elements creates the balance here. 

    Details & tips:

    • Note the distressed edges on a few of the layers. That is done by rubbing your open scissor blade over the edge of the paper.  Fast and fabulous results! *watch how I do it in the video below.
    • The large stamped Pecan Pie layer and the DSP square are both sponged with Pecan Pie ink to age them a bit. 
    • That butterfly is one of our Paper Butterfly Accents colored with a Light Natural Tones blends marker. I added some Gold Enamel Effects in streaks all over it. *see how in the video
    • I added Gold Enamel Effects as berries on the tall leaf die-cut on the left. 

    Here's how I stamped the inside.  The greeting is from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set from Sale-a-Bration. 

    Lovely & Sweet Pecan inside Save

    Here's a picture of the Lovely & Sweet bundle I used here. See it online here.

    This is one of the cards I featured on last week's Live video. I chose to showcase the Nature's Sweetness suite.  

    Lovely & Sweet woven Save

    The colors include Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Pretty Peacock, White & Pecan Pie. See the neat woven trim on the edge?  that is done with the new Faux Leather trim that has a subtle gold shimmer to it.  The holes and the leaves are made with the Notes of Nature dies seen here.

    Lovely & Sweet Lost Lagoon Save

    Other dies include the Cheerful Daisies for the label and the Deckled Circles behind the flowers/leaves.  I also used the Wink of Stella with Lost Lagoon ink to color the flowers and added a Blooming Pearl to each one.
