Neat Floral Delight fun fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

Can you tell that these cards are an extra special fun fold?  It's a bit sneaky how it works!

Save

I used the Floral Delight designer paper here along with the Floral & Gingham Vellum too.  The center piece is the vellum – the blue gingham and the yellow flowers on the right card. I used our Multipurpose Liquid glue to adhere it and it didn't show a bit! Use a very light hand for success here. 

Here's how the card opens.  There's an extra score line on the front of the card that allows the center to fold back.  It's really simple but you may need to watch the video here to catch on.

Here's a look at how the card base is made without the front panel added. The upper & lower corners are simply cut off at 1". So simple with a surprising effect!

For the greetings I used the Mixed Labels bundle seen here.  I love the stitched dies and the greetings in this bundle. I've used it so often.

Below is the video tutorial for this card. I hope you watch it to learn the simple trick to this neat fun fold.

• The Gang’s All Meer cute window card

  January 22, 2020

  ---

  This stamp set was one of the top free choices at my New Catalog Launch party earlier this month.  People are loving it!

  Save

  I chose to create a window card to highlight these cute critters.  We stamped them in Early Espresso and colored in with Crumb Cake blends markers. 

  **Did you know that when stamping an image you plan to color with our Blends markers you can use any color of our Classic ink pads?  They are water based and the markers are alcohol based.  

  See the stamp set here.  It's a free choice you receive for any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. This lasts through March.

  • 1 3/8" scalloped circle for the greeting and 1 1/2" circle in Daffodil Delight

• Honey Bee & Little Ladybug; choice!

  January 21, 2020

  ---

  I received this gorgeous swap card from my friend Diana Gibbs. I just love it!  

  Save

  Sweet and simple; but a big wow in my opinion.  The bees are colored with Blends markers in Seaside Spray and Mango Melody plus a little Wink of Stella on the wings.

  That pretty Golden Honey Specialty designer paper is one of the FREE choices in our Sale-a-Bration catalog right now.

  Save

  Get it free with any $50 order through March. But beware that some items do not last through the promotion; they've been known to run out of some items before the promotion ends. 

  The circles are 1 3/4" and the bees are die-cut using the Detailed Bee Dies.  These come in a bundle with the stamp set at 10% off.  See them here.   It pairs beautifully with the Golden Honey designer paper above.

  My friend Judith had a workshop this weekend and she loves the Little Ladybug stamp set so I gave them a choice of two cards.  She was so excited to earn this stamp set FREE with her workshop order.

  Remember that I'm giving away one set in January!  Everyone who places an online order from me will be entered in the drawing.

  I used a Light Flirty Flamingo Blends marker and the Wink of Stella and So Saffron ink for the belly. A bit of Petal Pink for the faces and sponging on the circles as well.  We added Gold pearls for an accent which pairs nicely with the Golden Honey specialty DSP. 

  The card stock measures 4" X 5 1/4" white, DSP is 1 7/8" X 5" and the Black is 2" X 5".  The circles here are 3/4", 1 1/2" and 1 3/4" in size. 

  Below you can see how we stamped the inside of the card.
