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!

• Life is Beautiful with So Much Happy? Yes!

  October 27, 2020

  ---

  Here are two more cards I created on a Facebook Live for Demonstrators last week.  It was such an honor to be asked to present cards highlighting my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful.  

  Unfortunately I cannot share the video but I can share the projects!

  Which one do you prefer?  Blues & purples or rainbow colors? Here they are separately:

  I used Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party and stamped the Bokeh dots image. 

  Then I added the Happy die-cut across it at an angle.  I also cut a separate White CS strip to place under the Happy die-cut.  The 'to celebrate you' is from the So Much Happy stamp set stamped on a die-cut from the Ornate Frames dies.

  Have you decided on your favorite yet?  

  I'll be sharing another card with my Life is Beautiful stamp set tomorrow.  Do you have yours yet?  If not go here to order!

• Have a Hoot Bundle; for Christmas!

  October 23, 2020

  ---

  At first I thought this bundle was just for Halloween.  But when looking at the images provided it works wonderfully for Christmas too!  

  I made these cards on Facebook Live last week. I've been working with the beautiful Snowflake Splendor designer paper all week; it's simply gorgeous and in so many of my favorite colors!

  Save

  Here's the first one.  Did you know the Peek-a-Hoot dies cut out all 3 window at once?!  There's no measuring or figuring out placement at all.  You can see the video below.  

  Save

  I stamped directly onto the Snowflake Splendor designer paper here.  I love the pretty purple/blue background!  The two owls are die-cut using the same die set.  I added a bit of color to them with Blends markers and finished with a bit of Balmy Blue glimmer accents and Adhesive Backed Snowflake Sequins. 

  This next card uses two of the tags left when die-cutting the windows on the card above.  I did cut out one extra.  I stamped and colored directly on them. 

  Save

  Other details:

  • A glimmer die-cut star covers up the 'spider' on the center panel.  
  • The Highland Heather panel (4" X 5 1/4") is embossed with the Winter Snow embossing folder.
  • the 3/4" X 5 1/4" strip of Snowflake Splendor DSP is under the three stamped tags. 
  • The greeting tag is punched with the Everyday Label punch; start with a 1/2" white strip. Stamp and punch.
