Neat fun fold card 3 ways! With free tutorial & video

We made this special card at my January card clubs. They could choose between 3 colors and themes too!

Save

I featured the Addressed to You stamp set for all three cards. See the cute ovals & rectangle with the ‘filled in’ images on the right? Those are all part of this unique stamp set! See it here.

Save

I used the retiring Textured Notes dies seen here. They’re the stitched edge rectangle dies used twice on this card. They are on the last chance list right now and reduced in price too!

This card opens with a type of flip/flap feel. Here’s how we cut off the tabs on the card base. Once you score your card you’ll make a pencil mark from the top and bottom at 1″. Then trim off the corners.

Save

My colors include Pool Party, White and either Pretty in Pink, Fresh Freesia or Peach Pie.

I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, supplies and step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

More details:

• I used the images that finished the lined oval & rectangle to decorate the inside ‘left’ edge on the cards.
• We used Blends markers to color in the small images.
• The DSP is the Beach Boardwalk designer paper for the left edge.
• The greetings are from the stamp set called ‘The Right Words’ seen here. It’s one of my favorite greeting sets.

I was in the middle of the video tutorial for this card but the video failed right before I started the project. And I made my last packet. So I do not have a video for it. But hopefully the project sheet above helps you out.

  Click here to see all of the products in the Sweetest Christmas suite.  There are two stamp & die bundles, ribbon, Glimmer paper and the fun Designer Paper.  

  The peek of Red glimmer paper adds a perfect sparkle to her card.  Here's the inside view:

  Adding a strip of designer paper to the inside of your card is a simple way to embellish it to match. 

  Next is a gorgeous card by Karen featuring the Decorating with Happiness bundle seen here:

  Her card is mostly White with Cherry Cobbler, Evergreen & Gold accents. 

  Details:

  • She cut the large pine die from both Evergreen & Gold glimmer paper and added them off set from each other.  
  • The greeting die is from the Stylish Shapes dies and the embossing folder is Timber 3D.
  • The pretty DSP is the Lights Aglow specialty DSP seen here.  
  • Elegant Metallic cord and Festive Pearls are the additional embellishments.

• Check out these fabulous Christmas scene cards by the Flowerbug’s!

  October 25, 2022

  I love seeing what my Flowerbug's make for our Team swaps.  Everyone has their own style and I'm proud to share them with you this week. 

  First is a sweet card by Candace who featured the North Pole Mischief stamp set. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I love the Red frame she added to the card; it's from the Fabulous Frames dies seen here.  She used Blends markers to color the images and added Red Rhinestones to set off the scene.  

  Here's the inside view; so cute!

  Next is a fun card made by Annette who featured the Penguin Place stamp set & Penguin Builder punch. These products are returning favorites from last year and many were super happy about it since the punch ran out of stock last year before some could grab it. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I absolutely love the scene she achieved using the Layering Diorama dies seen here!  She used Starry Sky CS on the back, stamping the stars using White Craft ink.  Then she added a layer of Orchid Oasis behind the penguin that looks like water.  So smart!  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Lastly is a pretty card made by Marla.  She used the Peaceful Deer stamp set and Deer Builder punch.  

  She stamped the trio of trees across the background and then one large tree in the foreground. It gives such depth to the scene.   

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I also like the way she used the Pearlized Enamel effects basics for her tree ornaments.  The stamped blue snowflakes in the sky finish the scene off perfectly!

  Stay tuned for more amazing swap cards by my Team.

• Use your scraps with the Double Twisted Ribbon technique; live class tonight!

  October 24, 2022

  ---

  If you like using up those paper scraps I have a fun technique to share.  It's called the Double Twisted Ribbon technique. 

  I'll be demonstrating it on tonight's Stamp with Me Live on Facebook.  It's at 7:30 pm Central time on the last Monday of the month and it's a free class!  See the replay here

  I chose to use the Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here for my card samples.  It's so pretty with the gold foil accents and fine patterns.  

  Tips:

  • You'll need 6 strips of two different patterns; you can also use card stock for them.  I cut them into 1/2" X 4" strips.  
  • The strips are adhered to a White piece measuring 2 1/2" X 5 1/4".  This is scored every 1" from the top down.  These score lines help you when adhering your strips. 
  • Once your strips are adhered you will add it to a layer measuring 2 3/4" X 5 1/2".  I recommend you use a color that coordinates with a color in your DSP.  

  For this card I chose to use the Holly Berry dies for the leaves & berries.  The greeting die-cut is from the All That dies.

  My card base is Evening Evergreen.  The greeting is from the upcoming Framed & Festive stamp set.  It's new and available to Demonstrators in October, but will be out for customers in November.  

  For this next card I stamped the greeting (also from the Framed & Festive stamp set) onto a die-cut circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  That pretty gold leaf die-cut is from the upcoming Framed Floret dies – also coming out in November for customers.  I added a few Festive Pearls for berries.
