NEAT Center Pop-up Fun Fold card with video & free project sheet


I hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend.  We are having a quiet one at home, getting yard work done and also enjoying time off together. We've had lovely rain lately. The grass is green and I hope my garden takes off once the weather warms up a bit. 

On last week's Live I made a super neat fun fold card.  This photo shows the card front which starts out as a gatefold card. 

I chose the Wildflower Designs bundle because it seems to have everything I like in a bundle – florals & botanicals, lovely greetings and wonderful dies too.  

The designer paper is the Country Woods seen here.  It's currently unavailable as they ran out of stock. But it should be back within a week or so.  That pretty die-cut circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.  Love these dies so much! 

Here's what it look like open: 

I was inspired by two of my team members to try this fun fold card layout.  I thought it looked quite complicated but they assured me it wasn't.  They were right!  It was just a few extra score and cut lines. I hope you'll watch the video below to see how it's done.  

The center dies are included in the Wildflower Designs bundle seen here.  All of these patterns are included in the Country Woods designer series paper pack. No wonder it's already sold out!  

 

Compare these cards; I changed both the front and the inside.

  • A WOW fun fold card that has to be the easiest ever!


    If you are looking for a great idea for designer papers that create a scene this layout is it!  

    Start with a card base of 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".  Then cut a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of designer paper and trim off the right side at 3/4". Add that strip to the left side of your card base and the larger half to the left folded side. 

    Isn't that the best & most simple layout?!  Think of the many cards you could make with this design. 

    The card features the stunning Meandering Meadows designer paper pack.  This paper can be found here in our Online Exclusives – but is currently unavailable until later May.

    I wouldn't wait too long to order this DSP; when they run out they don't always re-order and then it's gone for good.  That's how the Online Exclusive products work.  

    Here's an inside view:

    There are so many beautiful scenes in this pack of paper and most sheets coordinate with our Starry Sky, Balmy Blue or Shaded Spruce cardstock. *Starry Sky has retired now; I will miss this pretty blue color.

    I featured the Perennial Postage bundle for both the greetings and the label die-cut.

     The dies did carry over into the new catalog but the stamp set did not and is retired now.  The dies are currently out of stock but should be available in about 2 weeks; around May 13th. 

     

    I hope you like this simple but beautiful card.  It's perfect when you need a quick but fabulous card design.

  • Understanding Color Theory (the Color Wheel) with video


    If choosing color combinations is challenging for you the Color Theory video below may help you out. 

    You can find a printed color wheel in the new Annual Catalog on page 132.  Some of us lucky Demo's received a real color wheel at OnStage in Houston.  It was a surprise perk for attendees. 

    Stampin' Up! has heard from many people begging for one since they saw it. Stay tuned; they are producing another that will be available for purchase later this year.  In the meantime please watch the video seen further below to see how you can use this color wheel.

    Here's a photo of the printed color wheel in the catalog: 

    My top favorite and easiest way to combine colors is Monochromatic. This means hues of one color – blues, greens etc.  Monochromatic projects are soothing to the eye and can be seamless.  

    My second favorite is to use complimentary colors such as pink & green or yellow with purple. 

    If you're using designer paper Stampin' Up! has done the work for you – just choose from the colors listed on the back of each package. 

    Honestly, how I usually choose colors is to hold the card stock pieces next to each other. For me that's easy, but I know others struggle so I hope the video below will help you out.

    Look at these pretty cards I made for a new Catalog card swap: 

    They feature a new bundle called Spotlight on Nature. It includes a pretty set of detailed circle dies along with the stamp set. These dies are going to be a big favorite! 

    I used two new In Colors here – Pretty in Pink and Shy Shamrock. I colored the flowers in with Peach Pie & Pretty in Pink Blends markers. There are two designer papers used here; one is the new 2024-26 In Color designer paper pack and the other is Unbounded Beauty. 

    The front flap is folded back towards the left side; this gives you the opportunity to add another layer of designer paper.  

    These in colors are included in my 2024-26 In Color bundle offer.  This deal is available through May 7th only.  See the details here: 

    Measurements:
