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.

  • Check out this fun & unique way to use up those card stock scraps!

    Look at this gorgeous card!  It's so bright, colorful and just plain fun! I made it on this week's Live video. My theme was to feature Bermuda Bay (a favorite of mine) and some sets of retiring dies I'll miss a lot! 

    I used the 'Picture This' dies seen here for the multiple circle windows.  The White delicate leaves die-cuts are from the Splendid Stems dies; which I thought were still current!  Oops!

    Isn't it striking?  It's almost like a rainbow effect with these bright colors.  I adhered 1/4" strips of card stock to another layer of White (under the White window die).  It's slightly smaller than the top one. Watch the video here to catch my tips on this technique

    I used Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody, Polished Pink and Berry Burst.  The only two colors that will be in the next catalog are Coastal Cabana and Berry Burst!  But I know we'll learn to love the new color line too.  It's always sad to say goodbye to some of our favorites.  

    Next I shared a fun card featuring blues/greens and the Layering Diorama dies. They're discounted to $20.30 now.

    The other dies used are the Amazing Thanks dies seen here (these were $27 and are now just $10.80). 

    BRILLIANT WINGS DIES Save

    And the Brilliant Wings dies shown above which include tons of butterflies in both solid and detailed dies that layer perfectly.  They were $44 and are now just $17.60.  See them here. 

    Here's how I adhered the strips to the back of the White die-cut piece. I die-cut the Layering Diorama shape first and then added these strips on the back side. It's a super fun way to show off your die-cut shape and use up those scraps you just cannot throw out!

    Here are both projects shown together.  I hope this inspired you to use up some of those paper scraps you're saving for 'someday'!

  • Eden’s Garden & Forever Fern; a fun way to use the Picture This dies

    Monday evening I created projects with the Forever Fern bundle for my weekly Tuesday Facebook Live. But by the next morning the Forever Fern stamp set was sold out; gone.  So I had to switch gears a bit and decided to substitute Forever Fern with Eden's Garden. I think it turned out lovely!  

    Eden's Garden Picture This Save

    See the Eden's Garden set here.  It was $22 and is now just $9.20, while supplies last.

    There are dies to match called the Eden dies seen here. They were $35 and are now just $14.

    I used all retiring inks and card stock – Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry & Pear Pizzazz.  I had to focus on my Bermuda Bay; I'll sure miss this color!  The card stock, ink and refill are already sold out.  

    I wanted to feature the Picture This dies too; I honestly love these dies and use both the full windows die-cut and the stitched label pieces left over. Each side is stitched! They're perfect for greeting labels. This 2 piece set of dies is now $27.20; it was $34.  See them here.

    Measurements:

    • Bermuda Bay card base 8 ½” X 5"
    • White die-cut piece is 3 ¾” X 5”, White stamped piece is 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"
    • Rich Razzleberry 3 7/8” X 5 1/8”

    Below you can see the Forever Fern card on the left and the Eden's Garden card on the right.

    I think the color combination is beautiful.  I'll sure miss these colors!  

    Below are the three cards I shared on the video.  I think the Forever Fern stamp set is one of the most gorgeous set of stamps Stampin' Up! has ever made. The distinktive quality of the images gives a true multi-hued effect; it's my very favorite type of stamp.  I'm sorry it retired and that it's already sold out.  You can get it in French still…..

  • String Art Technique; fun, easy & the results are a big WOW!

    I shared the String Art technique on last week's Live video.  It's been years since I tried it and it brought back how much fun it is!

    String Art Save

    That cool swirly, colorful image is made with a length of twine, ink refills and a phone book.  Yes; a phone book!  Any book will do but I a phone book is okay to get inky.  

    And another neat thing about this technique is you get two finished panels from one technique!

    You might notice the card on the right has thicker lines.  I believe that piece was on the bottom and had more moisture on it.  

    I used Bermuda Bay and Parakeet Party ink refills for this technique, along with about 14" of baker's twine. After the piece was created I let it dry and textured it with an embossing folder.  

    *Bermuda Bay card stock, ink pad and refill are already sold out.  Products can go so fast on the Last Chance list!

    Other products used: 2022-24 In Color dots seen here (Just $4; reduced by 50%!), the Quatrefoil embossing folder, Butterfly Kisses 6 X 6" DSP, 2022-24 In Color Baker's Twine pack. 

    You really need to watch this technique in action.  It's so much easier than to try to explain it.  

    Watch the video here or click on the image below to see this special technique. It's the third project in the video.
