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"

  • Gathering Moments swap; I love creating my own paper!


    Here’s a pretty card I made for one of the online swaps I joined last month:

    I used the new Gathering Moments stamp set with the new Traditional Labels dies.

    The card stock colors are Lost Lagoon, Timid Tiger and Very Vanilla.  Inks are Timid Tiger, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Pecan Pie.

    After stamping I used a Blending Brush to add Lost Lagoon ink around the edges and on the greeting die-cut too.

    I love creating cards for swaps!  I find it very relaxing to make multiples of my creations.

    You can see this stamp set here.  It has a set of dies as well.  See the Traditional Labels dies here.  

    I’ll be sharing many more cards with this pretty new bundle next week.
