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"

  • 3 neat cards with the All Squared Away bundle; FB Live replay


    Here are the cards I made on last Tuesday's FB Live featuring the All Squared Away bundle.  Fresh Freesia is the color of the day!

    I stamped the solid images in the set in three colors; Fresh Freesia, Pool Party & Pear Pizzazz.  Then I trimmed them so they'd fit behind the die-cut floral squares. I added rolled up mini glue dots for just a bit of a lift and added them to the White layer. Sometimes you want a lift that's not very thick; rolled up glue dots do the trick! That next texture is the Bark 3D folder I used seen here.  

    The greeting is from Biggest Wish stamp set – stamped on Fresh Freesia CS and fussy cut.  Those pretty gems are the fabulous, iridescent In Color jewels.

    This next card is a unique color combination gatefold card made with the same bundle: 

    Products used:

    • Delightful Tag Topper punch on the 2" X 3 1/2" White CS.
    • It's textured with the new Star Crossed embossing folder and added to a Basic Gray scalloped rectangle die-cut from the Scalloped Contours dies seen here 
    • In Color 6 X 6" DSP, Fresh Freesia Open Weave ribbon seen here 
    • White embossing powder on the greeting
    • In Color jewels seen here 

    Measurements:

    • 5 ½” X 8 ½” Basic Gray; score at 2 1/8” from each side
    • 2 pieces Fresh Freesia In Color DSP at 2” X 5 ¼”
    • White tag is 2” X 3 ½”
    • Basic Gray greeting strip is 5/8” X 3 ¾”

  • Pretty Pumpkin bundle in Gold!


    Marilyn made this card for my display last week using the Pretty Pumpkins bundle seen here. She used the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic specialty paper here on her layer and die-cuts.  She got the idea from a card made by Christi Redding. It's gorgeous!  

    I had a hard time getting a great photo of this card.  The gold metallic paper is so much prettier than this photo shows! 

    She fussy cut her greeting and added some gold cording underneath. The texture on the Vanilla layer is from the Tasteful Textile folder.

  • The Pretty Pumpkins bundle slipped right by me!


    I regret not ordering the Pretty Pumpkins set after seeing what my friend Marilyn made with it.  Look at these gorgeous images!

    She made them for my New Catalog launch last week. I think they're simply beautiful and that greetings font is beautiful!! 

    She made 3 cards for our display and this is the second one.  I'll share the last one soon.  

    The pretty paper is from the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper.  I believe she used the baby wipe technique for the left pumpkin.  For the right one she added Wink of Stella to the die-cut pumpkin.  

    Again; look at the stunning font on this fabulous greeting.  I have so many friends I'd give this card to!  

    My Online BOGO is today!  Click here on my FB page and go to media/photos/BOGO album to see everything available through August 14th.  If you have a list of current Stampin' Up! items you want to buy why not double dip and get lots more free?!
