More fun fold cards with One Horse Open Sleigh!

September 13, 2023

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!

A Good Man double point fold card; it’s super easy!

May 28, 2020

It was so nice to be able to meet and stamp with many of my Club members this month. Our state has eased the guidelines for meetings so most of my gals chose to join me for Club this month. Many of us really needed to get together and play/stamp again.

One of our cards was this Double Point fold card; it's super cool and so very easy!

Save

And it really makes the best use of your designer paper. Not a bit of waste! Each card needs two pieces of 3" X 4" designer paper. Score it at 1" along the long edge and then fold each corner to the center of the fold like this:

Save

I used the Come Sail Away designer series paper here; it's still available while supplies last here.

Here's a quick video for you on putting this card together. I used the A Good Man stamp set and as you can see; you don't have to color in some of these sketch style images. They're beautiful just as they are!

Easy Seriously the Best Diagonal Strips cards

May 27, 2020
I made these fun diagonal stripes cards on a recent Facebook Live. It's so simple to do!

I used one of my favorite stamp sets; Seriously the Best here. I love the pretty bold font! You can see it here. It also coordinates with the Seriously the Best cards kit; which is 60% off!

Save

I chose to use the retiring 6 X 6" 2019-21 In Color paper pack. It's still available while supplies last and is sale right now here!

Save

The strips are 1" long; you need about two of each at 1" X 6". Here's how to make it:
- You'll need one piece of White CS measuring 4" X 5 1/4" to adhere the strips to.
- Adhere two DSP strips across from end to end leaving a little space between the two. Tip: 6" is a little short so I cut the Peacock strip in half and separated it a bit under the greeting.
- Now you'll add short lengths of DSP perpendicular to the first two strips, alternating colors and leaving a bit of space between them all.
- Now you can trim off the excess even with the original White CS piece.
- Adhere to your main card (5 1/2" X 8 1/2")

You might notice the cute little flowers on the greeting tags and that pretty, stitched die-cut. Well these are new products coming out in the upcoming new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog! The flowers are a new border punch and the dies are part of the Tasteful Label dies.

You can order these items on June 3rd! (or purchase the Stampin' Up! Starter kit and you can add them to your $125 in product!) Read about that here.

Morning Star

May 26, 2020
Have you seen this pretty stamp set yet? It's called Morning Star (seen here) and is one of Stampin' Up!'s distinktive type of stamps. This means you can get multiple hues of color with just one inking. It's amazing!

It is retiring next week so if you'd like it, get it now! Here's a few cards I created when playing with it. I think this set has been a bit of a sleeper; lost among the many favorite in the 2020 January-June catalog.

Here I used Old Olive and Gorgeous Grape; one of my favorite green and purple combos. Because this stamp set is photopolymer you can easily stamp the images just where you want them, placing them perfectly.

Save

Here are the measurements and supplies:
- Old Olive 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
- Regals designer paper 5 1/4" X 1 7/8"
- Gorgeous Grape 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"
- White 4 1/2" X 3 3/8"
- Label Me Fancy Punch, Grape striped ribbon, dimensionals, mini glue dots
Here's another simple card made with this pretty stamp set this time in green & blue:

I chose to use Pear Pizzazz with Night of Navy here. This is our Neutrals designer paper pack and it is already out of stock. It was on the Last Chance list seen here. I'll miss these pretty patterns although we are getting new packs of 6" designer paper in the upcoming catalog.

Measurements:
- Pear Pizzazz 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Navy designer paper 5 1/4" X 2"
- White – 5 1/4" strip for the Ornate Style die-cut
- White 3 1/4" X 2 1/2"
- Navy 3 1/2" X 3"
- Ornate Style dies, Olive/Terracotta Tile 1/4" ribbon, Noble Peacock rhinestones
