More fun fold cards with One Horse Open Sleigh!


Here are the other two cards I shared in last week's Live video.  If you're not following me on Facebook to catch the live videos click here to join my FB page!  

Not on Facebook, follow me on YouTube here. 

This first card is a Spanner fun fold card; featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper seen here. It's only seen in our Online Exclusives.  

My colors are Gray Granite with Early Espresso ink. The die-cut trees are from the Horse & Sleigh dies seen here. I added some color to the base of the trees with brown & Gray Granite Blends. My greetings are from the Lasting Joy and Layering Leaves sets.

Here's the view once the upper panel is lifted.  I stamped a tree from the Horse & Sleigh bundle on the inside.  

Measurements: 

  • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”.  Cut up to the 4 ¼” score line at 1 ¼” from each outer edge.
  • Greeting strip 5 ½” X 1”

Next is a double flap card in blues – Misty Moonlight & Boho Blue.  These colors pair beautifully together.  

This card is a wonderful fun fold layout for 6" papers.  You can make two cards with one piece. Or make 8 cards with a 12" designer paper! The stamps are from One Horse Open Sleigh and Lasting Joy.  

The side flap is scored and the score line is placed right at the left card edge.  I cover that up with the inside white panel.  

Measurements:

  • DSP – 1 piece per card 3” X 5 ¼”
  • Card base 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
  • Center flap 3 ¼” X 11” score at 5 ½”, Side flap 5” X 1” score at ¾”
  • White inside 3” X 5 ¼”

Both of these cards are included in my One Horse Open Sleigh fun fold cards PDF tutorial seen here.  My tutorials can be used for more than this designer paper!  


Below is the video where I made three of these cards:

  • The easy way to do the Whitewashing Technique; with video


    I've been playing with the Whitewashing Technique lately. Today I'm sharing a card I made on Facebook Live with the Honeybee Home bundle. 

    You can see another group of cards I used this technique on here. 

    Please watch the video to see how to do this.  Here are some tips:

    • I stamped the main image using Gorgeous Grape ink onto the same color card stock.
    • Let it dry a bit and color the image in with White Craft ink and a water painter brush.
    • If you want to see the stamped image you'll want to use a light amount of White Craft ink. 
    • I add water to some White Craft ink in a puddle and use that to 'paint'.  
    • You can paint with strokes to indicate lines on your image. 

    I used the Heart & Home doilies under the Tasteful Label die-cut.  

    The background paper is the Simply Marbelous Sale-a-Bration DSP that I added a bit of Highland Heather ink to. 

    Here's the video!  Click on the picture below to watch it. The Whitewashing Technique is the 2nd project I share.

  • How I made this neat Pop-up Gift Bag Fun Fold card


    We made this fantastic Pop-up Gift Bag fun fold card at my January card clubs. It's such a unique and special way to add a gift card or a little something extra inside a card! 

    I used the Friendly Hello bundle from our 2022 Sale-a-Bration brochure. See it here. It's free with any $100 purchase from my online Stampin' Up! store.  

    Isn't it extraordinary!?  Everyone loved their finished card and most were surprised at how easy it was. Here's a close-up of the inside.

    Below is the template with measurements.  Your best bet is to watch the video below to see how to assemble it and adhere it inside a card.  

    I did turn this card into a fun fold as well with a belly band but you sure wouldn't have to.  It could be placed in the fold of any card you make! 

    The Friendly Hello bundle includes both a full photopolymer stamp set and a package of beautiful 12 X 12" pack of designer paper!  

    The colors include Fresh Freesia, Granny Apply Green Pool Party, Shaded Spruce, Black & Petal Pink.  I chose to focus on the Fresh Freesia & Granny Apple Green for this card. 

    Here are the measurements for the card: 

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2" & 7 1/2"
      White 4" X 4 3/4" & 2 3/4" X 4" plus scrap for Hippo & Friends die-cut
      Pale Papaya scrap for Hippo & Friends die-cut
      Granny Apple Green 3/4" X 10" scored at 3 1/2" & 7 7/8"
      Friendly Hello DSP for bag – 4 X 9 1/2" scored on the 4" side at 1/2" & 3", and on the long side at 1/2", 4 1/2", 5", 5 1/2" & 9" & DSP for front 3 1/4" X 4" & 1 3/4" X 4"
    • the leaves & buds are punched with the Bough punch seen here

    You can see what the card looks like closed in the picture above; on the left.

  • Who knew?!


    If someone had told me I'd be doing 8 videos a month 10 years ago I would have scoffed! 

    One of my best friends encouraged me to do videos years ago and I told here I would never, ever do videos.  She loved to remind me about that! *Sadly she passed away a few months ago.

    I've been watching my YouTube subscribers grow and grow and cannot believe that I now have over 15,000 people following me!  Incredible! 

    I get so many lovely comments from my followers; it truly means a lot that you are all enjoying and getting inspired by them.  

    Thank you, THANK YOU!!  You are why I LOVE what I do!
