Fun Latch Fold card with Music From the Heart


I had to use my friend Dawn Olchefske's new stamp set for January club. It's the set she designed for her million dollars in sales achievement!  It's a fabulous music themed set called Music From the Heart.  Look!

Look at this fun latch fold card!

 

The Classic Label punch is perfect to create the 'latch' for this card closure.  We did have to widen the opening a bit by punching off to the side an extra 1/4" on each side as I wanted a larger front layer than the punch allows for.  If you watch the video below you'll see what I am referring to.  

I decided to offer a choice of card themes for my gals; Valentines, Anniversary and Birthday.  I used the Heart to Heart set for the Valentine's greeting. This pretty foiled paper is called From the Heart specialty designer paper.  You can see it here. 

Did you know that you can 'play or stamp' Happy Birthday with the individual notes in this set?  Isn't that the best idea ever?! Although creating a 'guitar' from two stamps in this set is even more clever! If you have a musical person in your life you need this set! 

Be sure to watch my video to see how to make this fun fold card.  It's amazingly easy! 

Measurements:

  • Real Red 4 1/4" X 8 3/4" scored at 5 1/2"
    White inside 4" X 5 1/4", front and inside flaps 2" X 3 3/4"
    Black 2 1/4" X 8" scored at 4"
    From My Heart Specialty DSP 3" X 4"

  • Bee My Valentine sneak peak projects! With a free project sheet


    There's a new bundle coming in January with the 2024 Spring catalog!  It's called 'Bee My Valentine' and it's super fun!

    I LOVE the builder punch and how versatile it is.  The large heart shape is for the wings, but could be used as a heart too. The small heart works on it's own or for the antenna. The bee body could be a word bubble!

    We made this adorable card at a recent Team gathering called OnStage @ Home. 

    The colors include Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Black & White. The bee wings are made from our Vellum cardstock, colored with Pool Party ink by pressing the ink pad directly to the paper. I heat set the color with a heat tool before I stamped the wings in Black. Vellum does not absorb ink quickly so heat setting with a heat tool can be necessary.

    You can spy a few new products here – the Bee Mine designer paper (side strips) and the new Poppy Parade ribbon. 

    I made a bunch of them to use as thank you cards:

  • More Magical Meadow fun fold cards by Judith


    Yesterday I shared the cards Judith made as our Team Artist of the Month and today I'm sharing more. She did a wonderful job highlighting the Magical Meadow bundle and the Winter Meadow designer paper. 

    All of her cards have been fun folds; she does like to make fancy fold cards. 

    This card features a center greeting layer that enfolds both front layers of her gatefold card.  She left it removeable so the recipient can add it or leave it off.  You can adhere it if you'd like; I usually add it to the left side.  

    The gorgeous leaves & berries image was done with markers; it coordinates with the Magical Meadow dies perfectly! She used the Deckled Circle dies seen here. 

    Below is the inside view with the center layer separate. 

    Next is another fun fold card I call a double-flap card. She used the same sheet of Winter Meadow as the card above. 

    She scored the right side of her double layered circles and adhered the scored flap under the inside layers. Clever!  

    The greeting layers are from the Autumn Leaves dies and of course she used the beautiful White & Silver mesh ribbon – all from the 2023 Holiday catalog.  

    Thank you for sharing these beautiful projects with us Judith!

  • Magical Meadow & Winter Meadow fun fold cards


    Today I'm sharing two gorgeous cards made with the Magical Meadow bundle and the Winter Meadow designer paper.  Judith created multiple projects using this suite as the Artist of the Month on my Flowerbug's Team for November.

    First is a window card using the Deckled Circle dies: 

    Her colors include Gray Granite & Whisper White. The die-cut greeting is from the Autumn Leaves dies. I've always liked the ribbon tied around the window like this; a unique touch! 

    Measurements:

    • Card back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • Designer paper 8" X 5 1/4" score at 4", window die-cut is 2 1/2"

    The designer paper is carrying over but sadly the Magical Meadow bundle is retiring soon; it's still available while supplies last. 

    This next card is a fabulous way to feature your double sided designer paper.  

    Start with a 11" X 4 1/4" layer. Score the left side at 1" and the center at 5 1/2". Fold back the 1" score line and secure closed. She used the Deckled Circle dies and the Silver & White ribbon on her greeting layer; both from the 2023 Holiday catalog. 

    Add a layer inside or just a simple greeting like she did. 

    The Winter Meadow designer paper is gorgeous as you can see. Beautiful water-colored scenes make your design work easy! I'm so glad it's carrying over for a few more months.  See it here. 

    I'll share more projects tomorrow!
