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.

  • Why would you ?

    May Join offer Save

    If you love Stampin' Up! products and creating I sincerely believe getting the Starter Kit is the smart way to go.  Here is a short list of what other Demonstrators say about sharing this opportunity:

    1. Because if you're going to buy anyway, why not at a discount?
    2. To share in your love of crafting and sharing that love with others.
    3. To get the best deal.
    4. To join a community of like minded, creative & loving people!!
    5. To enjoy the opportunity to save $ while making beautiful paper crafts, with top notch products and building friendships all over the world.
    6. Because everyone should get to have this much fun at work!
    7. Because even as a hobby demo it's a great way to build friendships, have fun and get a discount.

    I've never had a Team Member regret joining Stampin' Up!  Most often they say 'Why did I wait?!'  

    We have so much fun in my Flowerbug's group! Even though many of us are spread across the country we connect, share and support each other online.  Most are hobby stampers or what I call 'Happy Shoppers'; just enjoying the perks of the discount, being a part of some fabulous online groups and seeing and ordering from catalogs early.  It's a fantastic thing to be a part of! 

    Details on being a Demonstrator:

    • Enjoy the 20% discount on all orders while you're active.  Stop ordering when you want.
    • There's no pressure to sell or hold events. 
    • Your first $300 quarterly minimum isn't due until the end of September!
    • And all orders from May – Sept count towards that minimum!
    • Many people buy from themselves; ever order counts towards that minimum! 
    • SU counts product as retail towards that minimum; but you're paying just 80% of it.  For instance, an order of $100 counts towards your $300 minimum but you pay just $80. Most times the tax & shipping is added on to the $80; not the $100.  This means you're receiving an even better deal!  
    • Joining now means you can pre-order from the Holiday AND Sale-a-Bration catalog in July!!  And that counts towards your minimum!

  • Artistic Dies & sponging; super simple but WOW!

    I couldn't decide which to use behind the sponged die-cut so I made both White & Black.   You can see that video here from Tuesday's FB live earlier this week.  

    Which one do you prefer? 

    Artistic dies; black or white Save

    The reviews were mixed.  Most prefer the Black because the colors pop more.  But others liked the White for a softer look. 

    The card bases are Pale Papaya and Polished Pink. The strips are Pear Pizzazz. I used sponge daubers in Pear, Papaya, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink to add color to the pretty die-cut.  See these dies here and the bundle here.  

    Artistic dies sponged White Save

    The pretty scalloped die-cut is from the Scalloped Contour dies seen here.  The oval is from the Double Oval punch.
