Neat Accordion Window Flip card fold with Crane of Fortune with video!

I shared a few fun fold cards on last week's Tuesday Facebook Live.  I featured the Crane of Fortune bundle from the 2022 Spring Catalog by Stampin' Up!  This bundle is not returning in the new Annual Catalog next month. See it here

It's beautiful in Gray Granite, Calypso Coral and Evening Evergreen.  The colors were chosen because of the Symbols of Fortune specialty DSP.  It's gorgeous!  The photo below does NOT do it justice!

The Good Fortune dies coordinate with this designer paper.  I was able to cut the pretty flower on the front directly from this paper.  I did fussy cut the smaller flower to add above it.  

Isn't this a neat fun fold?  And it's so easy too.  Watch the video below or click here.  It includes another unique fun fold as well as an easy card with your designer paper.

I die-cut the window and the rectangle layers with the Stitched Rectangle dies seen here.  Love these dies!

• Bamboo Beauty & the Ink Swipe Technique

  June 21, 2021

  ---

  I created this striking card for a swap I participated in with some of my Demonstrator leader friends.  I wanted to highlight the beautiful Bamboo Beauty stamp set. 

  Save

  I decided to create a bold background effect by swiping ink pads directly across my Basic White CS.  Each one turned out totally different! 

  Save

  I chose to use these colors from top to bottom – Pale Papaya, Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo & Calypso Coral. Depending on how well inked your pads are you can get a variety of hues.  After I swiped the darker colors I used the Pale Papaya over it all to blend and soften the colors together.  

  Save

  My measurements for this card are as follows:

  • So Saffron card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
  • White (before swiping) 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" 
  • Black 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"

  I hope you try this technique; it's so fun!  I shared this technique using glossy paper in a video a few years ago.  Here's a link to it.

  Here's a closer view one card. I love how the solid images stamp with multiple hues of color without any effort!  It may look like my ink pad wasn't inked enough but this is on purpose. These Distinctive stamps are wonderful and provide a lot of dimension effortlessly!

  Which do you prefer?  Pale Papaya or Fresh Freesia?
