Latte Love Book Binding Z-fold with free project sheet

I am in love with this fun fold!  I call it a 'Book-binding' Z fold card.  

This one is made with the A Little Latte designer paper seen here.  It's part of our huge bunch of Online Exclusive products.

The card starts out at 11" X 4 1/4" with two score lines (see the measurements in the free project sheet below). Then you add a second layer to the front flap to create this unique but easy fold.  

I'm surprised this trendy designer paper hasn't sold out yet!

Below you can see both versions of this card we made at my March card clubs.

The coffee cups were fussy cut from the designer paper.  The stamps on the left are from the Latte Love bundle seen here.  The tag on front is from the Tailored Tags dies seen here.  I use these all of the time!

• NEW! Flowers of Friendship card

  April 30, 2021

  ---

  I created this card for a mail out swap I participated in.  I combined the new Pale Papaya with Pool Party & Black.  What do you think?  

  Save

  The stamp set is called Flowers of Friendship seen here.  It has a coordinating flower punch but I didn't use it here.  I did color the image in with Blends markers.  

  There are three new products I want to point out here: 

  1. Did you notice that pretty stitched border edge?  That is done with a new set of dies called Basic Borders seen on page 162. They're amazing and stitch on both sides of the cut. #AddtoYourList  
  2. See that black & white patterned paper? It's new and in the back of our catalog.  It's a hostess choice called Pattern Party.  You can only get it with Hostess Benefits when you place an order over $150.  It's a huge pack of 48 12 X 12" sheets and half are bright, colorful patterns and the other half are black & white.  I think they made this pack just for me!  It's my new favorite!!!
  3. Lastly that stitched label die-cut.  It's from the new Tailor Made Tags dies; seen on page166.  It has 8 sizes of stitched tags and reinforcements for the holes as well. Love them!!

• More Sponging techniques from the Flowerbug’s

  April 29, 2021

  ---

  Here are the second set of cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for our April card swap.  The theme was to use a sponging technique: 

  Candace made this one using a very soft sponging on just part of the card around the Whale.  She used the Whale Done bundle here.  It's a bundle now in the current Stampin' Up! catalog and will carry over into our new 2021 Annual Catalog. But it will no longer be a bundle at 10%.  You can see it here. 

  Save

  She stamped and die-cut the leaves from the Forever Fern bundle seen here.  

  Next is a neat card made by Karen.  She used a masking technique to get that unique stamped & sponged strip across the card.  

  She tore a length of sticky notes and pressed onto the White card stock; on top and on bottom. She stamped and sponged on the exposed area.  Very cool! The stamp set is called Enjoy the Moment seen here. 

  Save

  The designer paper is from the Boho Indigo Product Medley seen here.  Her card base is Misty Moonlight. 

  Next card is made by Paula.  She used the Positive Thoughts stamp set seen here.  She made the sponged center of her card a beautiful centerpiece.  To get the center she die-cut a circle from another piece of paper and sponged and stamped in the center. I believe she used Pacific Point and Mint Macaron ink.

  I'll share more amazing cards made by my talented Flowerbugs soon!

  I used the Color & Contour stamp set and all 5 In Colors as well.  I used sticky post-it notes to mask off areas as I sponged and stamped each area.  Watch the video below to catch the tips on this technique.
