Ornate Thanks & Ornate Borders with a clever fun fold idea

I shared these two pretty cards on my Facebook Live last Tuesday. (Click here to see my page.)  I made another version using the Best Dressed designer paper.  I'll share those tomorrow. 

Ornate Garden Fun Fold cards Save

They are made from a standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of card stock but you add a second score to it.  It's scored on the long side at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4".

The best part of this fun fold card is how it makes the most of your designer paper!  Each card uses one piece measuring 5 1/4" X 6".  Cut it into three pieces; the first (left) piece at 2 3/4" wide X 5 1/4" tall, the middle piece at 1 1/8" wide and the right (inside) piece at 2 1/8" X 5 1/4".

Those three pieces add up to 6" across!  What a great way to use your designer paper! You can make 4 cards from a 12" sheet! 

The white layer inside the card (for writing or stamping onto) is 5 1/4" X 1 3/4".  I used the To a Wild Rose stamp set for the greeting. The leaves and greeting die-cut are from the popular Painted Labels dies (now available again!!!) 

Here's a close up view of the greeting.  It looks like I heat embossed it right?

I didn't but it is sparkly!  I used the Wink of Stella pen!  It's fun to trace the stamped greeting; it's large enough that it was easy to do. 

You can find this pretty Ornate Garden specialty paper and the entire Ornate Garden suite of products here.  

Ornate Garden Fun Fold Terracotta Save

This card base is Terracotta Tile; one of our 2019-21 In Colors.  I paired it with Mint Macaron card stock.

I added an extra Ornate Border trim on the inside of the card too.  You might be able to spot more Wink of Stella on the designer paper and I added it to the die-cuts too.  See that pretty Terracotta Tile ribbon?  It's part of the Ornate Garden ribbon combo pack with Old Olive.  Gorgeous soft 1/4" ribbons!

The label and leafy die-cuts here are from the To a Wild Rose bundle seen here.

    The list is long! Sadly some of our very favorites are leaving us.  I frequently have people shocked to learn that they cannot get certain items any longer after a catalog retires. So I hope you'll take the time to check the list so YOU are not disappointed later. 

    Besides the items in the photo above, a few of my favorite items leaving us are:

    Here's a bunch of additional ways to use this Elegant Tag punch. You can lengthen it or insert narrower strips into it. Or use one end or the other to get lots of unique shaped tags with this Elegant Tag punch. 

    Unfortunately this punch is on back order until July!  But you can still order it right now.  I have a feeling they'll turn it off soon and it will be unorderable.

  • Today is the last day for the 36% off promotion! Plus Elegantly Said bundle & punch tips!

    Today is the last day to get in on the Starter Kit promotion seen here.  If your wish list is larger than $99 it only makes sense to choose this option. 

    Don't think of it as a commitment, but as an opportunity to get your SU products at a discount while you can.  When you're done ordering what you want you can stop.  That's it!  Simple and smart.  

    • Your first $300 in orders isn't 'due' until the end of September.  And we have the Holiday catalog AND Sale-a-Bration to order from in August.  It starts for customers in September but one of our favorite Demonstrator perks is pre-ordering from NEW catalogs a month earlier than everyone else.  
    • Another thing you might not know is that our $300 minimum order amount is retail; not discounted price.  So we're really spending just $240 to stay active and enjoy the discount.  All orders, yours or your friends all count.  
    • There's no need to sell or hold classes unless you'd like to.
