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"

  • Sending Love Artist of the Month – party 2


    Here are the second set of Sending Love cards by our Artist of the Month – Donna.  See the first batch here.   

    First up today is a fabulous fun fold card.  

    I often forget to cut apart my sentiment like this.  It sure adds a playful note!

    The cute grass and mailbox die-cuts are all from the Sending Love bundle seen here.  The stamp set & dies are returning in the new Annual catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off. 

    It starts out as a vertical card with this cute mailbox scene.  But when you open it…… you get a horizontal card!

    I only opened the upper flap in the photo above.  You can see how it turns from a vertical card to a landscape card.  Here's what it looks like fully opened.  I love that you can read the greetings either way! 

    Measurements:

    • Balmy Blue card stock – 2 pieces at 10 1/4" X 4 1/4". Score each in at 4 3/4".  Then mark at 4" and score from that mark to the outside corner.  The two pieces are adhered together in the center (under the large white layer) 
    • White – inside is 5 1/4" X 4", side triangles started out at 3 3/4" square; cut in half on the diagonal. 

    ~~~

    Next is a sweet pocket card.  Don't you love her beautiful sponging?! 

    This card has a hidden pocket between the layers.  See that little envelope sticking out?  

    Measurements:

    • Moody Mauve – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • Sponged Postage die-cut 3 5/8" X 5"
    • Inside White 2 7/8" X 4 1/8"
    • Bubble Bath 3" X 4 1/4"

    ~~~

    Lastly is this adorable hello card with the cutest envelopes on front!  These are also included in the Sending Love dies. 

    She also used the Deckled Circle dies and the Lighter Than Air designer paper (retiring).  The envelopes match the DSP – Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly & Calypso Coral. 

    Thanks so much for creating and sharing these amazing cards with us Donna!!

  • Artist of the Month showcase: Donna with the Sending Love bundle


    Donna chose the Sending Love bundle for here 'Artist of the Month' showcase.  

    Today I'll share half of the cards she made and the other half tomorrow.  

    This one is a favorite of mine. There's something about the color combination. Vanilla with Lost Lagoon & Calypso Coral. And her coloring!

    Next is a card that looks just like a postcard!  

    She stamped a background on the Starry Sky 'Postcard' layer then added the best 'faux' postcard over it.  Below is the inside view: 

    Next is her amazing slimline card; it's a huge WOW!

    Isn't this an amazing scene?  She used Azure Afternoon, Granny Apple Green, Gray Granite and the In Color DSP. She created the hills with the Basic Borders dies seen here.  They're half off right now at just $17.40 instead of $29.  I've used these so often and am very sad they're retiring.  

    The cloudy sky was created by using the cloud/scalloped Basic Border dies as a mask (top die seen above). She also used the Give it a Whirl dies seen here for the stitched cloud die-cuts; they're just $19.50 and were $39.  The 'Sending' die-cut greeting is from the Sending dies seen here.  They're also on sale for $19.80.
