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.

  • 3 Stamping Tips you need to know!


    I thought I'd share some of my favorite tips with you today.  

    • how to use a ruler – some people find this extremely challenging
    • standard card sizes and layers
    • which ink to use when coloring with markers

    First up is the ruler and card measurements.  Understanding measurements can make card making so much easier!

    I hope the above graphic helps you when you're creating a card. Save it or print it out. 

    ~~~

    Next I have a helpful photo for coloring your stamped images.  It's very important to use the correct ink to prevent smearing as you color. 

    I do also want to share a few more tips for coloring:

    • Use Stazon ink when coloring with colored pencils, blender pens, water painters or when picking up our Classic ink from your ink pad.

    ~~~

    Lastly is a list of the three types of stamps Stampin' Up! offers.  It might be hard to read so I'll share the details in this list:

    1. Photopolymer stamps are entirely transparent and adhere to your clear block. They're flexible and easy to use; especially with 2-step use.  
    2. Clink stamps are made of high-quality rubber. They cling like crazy to our clear blocks. 
    3. Distinktive stamps are a photo-realistic image with a special texture that give added depth and dimension with a single stamp. 

    *I hope one or more of these tips help you.  Let me know which one or two you learned from today.

    This is my second card kit to go I've created for July.  It features the new Floral Charm designer paper released in our newest Online Exclusives.  It's absolutely gorgeous designer paper!  

    My favorite thing about this pack of paper is that the reverse side of the pretty floral patterns have a coordinating solid print. So I created a batch of fancy fold cards to show them off!  

    The directions for these fun fold cards are included in the PDF tutorial plus there's a private video you'll get access to when you purchase either the kit or the PDF tutorial.  

    This kit to go includes the following products:

    • 1/2 pkg Floral Charm DSP (6" X 12")
    • a share of Peacock/Gold ribbon

    • the PDF tutorial & video link 

    The kit to go is $31 and can be reserved here.  It is shipped out at the end of July. The PDF tutorial is $16 and can be seen here.  The tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase. 

    *You will need stamp greetings, inks, a paper trimmer (to cut your new designer paper) and adhesives to finish the cards.
