Origami card fold with Flowers for Every Season with video

Here's another card I made on FB live last week using the pretty Flowers for Every Season designer paper.  It's an origami fold that creates a perfect place for your stamped image in the center. 

Save

It starts out with a 4 1/4" piece of designer series paper and you place it on a score board on the diagonal so the points are at 3" on the top and the left.  You can do this with a paper cutter too.  See here or watch the video below:

Then you score at 1" and 1 1/2".  Rotate it and do this on all sides.  Fold as shown.

The stamped White layer inside is 2 7/8" square.

Below is the video for this card and another pretty one made with the Fancy Phrases stamp set.

• Butterfly Bouquet & the Origami Window Fold

  March 2, 2021

  ---

  Here's another favorite project I've made with the new Butterfly Bouquet products.  Are you a fan of butterflies?

  Save

  I call this unique fold the Origami Window.  It's done by folding a 4 X 4" piece of designer paper a few times.  See details here or watch my video here. 

  The colors are Highland Heather and Pool Party. See the neat texture on the purple CS strip?  That's one of the dies in the Butterfly Wings dies!  You can see them here: 

  Save

  That pretty texture on the inside White square is from the Meadow Moments pair of embossing folders seen here.  They fit in your die-cutting machine but they were made narrow enough to fit in the new Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine too!
