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!

• Fresh, new color combination with Inked &Tiled – fun fold with video tutorial too

  May 18, 2023

  I've been working double time getting ready to leave for our Norway cruise – this year's incentive trip with Stampin' Up!  I'm thrilled to go on this year's trip with my husband.  He's a fabulous traveling partner! 

  Save

  Depending on WIFI, I hope to share photos on Facebook and Instagram while we're gone.

  "Fewer than 1% of Stampin’ Up!’s demonstrators worldwide achieve this trip."

  I'm not usually a Subtles or Neutrals kind of gal but I sure love this beautiful color combination!  It's Gray Granite, Petal Pink with a bit of our new Pebbled Path.  

  Save

  What do you think?  I haven't Gray Granite often because I never found a color to pair it with.  But Pebbled Path is gorgeous and among the same color tones. And add Petal Pink and it's beautiful!  

  I stamped the large leaf image repeatedly on the Gray Granite layer. The greeting is on a white die-cut from the Timeless Arrangements dies. I added a few of the pretty die-cuts under the greeting before layering a folded piece of ribbon (Ribbon Duo Combo Pack) and then to the punched & textured Petal Pink circle.  

  My card is an easy Z-fold – 4 1/4" X 11" card base scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".  

  Save

  I added lots of texture with the Timeless Arrangements dies.  The pretty 'Hello' greeting is from the new Layering Leaves stamp set. It's a new favorite and I LOVE that it matches the Bough punch!  See it here.

  Isn't it a beautiful set? 

  Measurements:

  • Card base 4 ¼” X 11” score at 2 ¾” & 5 ½”
  • Earthen Elegance DSP front 2 ¾” X 4”
  • Gray Granite 4” X 3”

• Cheerful Daisies card; perfect for Springtime!

  May 17, 2023

  ---

  I'm excited to share this pretty card with you. We made it at my May card clubs. It features the Cheerful Daisy bundle.  

  Save

  I absolutely love the colors!  I chose Lemon Lolly, Garden Green, white and the new Azure Afternoon.  I think the blue washed layer from the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper shows off the white & yellow daisies perfectly.  

  Here's how we finished the inside: 

  Save

  I sponged extra yellow on the Lemon Lolly daisy centers before adding the White die-cut over them. Here's  a photo of the dies  display I made: I did not add the separate individual daisies that fir over the large yellow die-cut below.  On my card they're white.

  Save

  The ribbon wraps all around the card front and ties on the far left.  The greeting covers the knot so you see mostly the ends. 

  Save

  Check out that amazing, detailed greenery die-cut!  It even comes out of the die easily.  Love it!  

  Save

  
  

  See the Cheerful Daisies bundle here; I think it's wonderful!  Best daisy set we've had for awhile.

• Quick cards with just ONE sheet of the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper!

  May 16, 2023

  ---

  The Fresh as a Daisy designer paper seen here is filled with pretty daisy prints and soft washes of colors – many are our newest In Colors and Core colors! 

  Here are the 4 cards I made from just one sheet!

  Save

  This one sheet has a bunch of printed, blocked patterns ready to make fast cards with.  

  Save

  One of my favorites is this one; featuring a pretty bouquet of white daisies on our new Bubble Bath pink color. 

  I added a strip of White card stock below, ribbon, a greeting and a pretty foliage die-cut which are both from the Cheerful Daisies bundle. 

  Save

  I LOVE this one!  Again, white daisies on a washed background. I paired this piece over a strip of Early Espresso cardstock on a Lemon Lolly card base.  I heat embossed the greeting in White on the die-cut in the Cheerful Daisies bundle. White twine finished it off! 

  Save

  What a gorgeous scenic background this is!  I dd nothing to it but stamp the stems & leaves and added the die-cut daisies, greeting and gems.  The colors are Copper Clay with Crushed Curry. 

  Save

  Lastly is this pretty triple-panel card in Azure Afternoon with Copper Clay.  I cut the daisy panel into three pieces measuring  1 5/8" X 4" tall. 

  Again I heat embossed the greeting in White embossing powder onto a piece of Copper Clay card stock. I added a die-cut daisy to the side. 

  Save

  I'm featuring this pretty paper in one of my May card kits to go. I have a limited supply of them so grab yours while you can.  See it here.
