Still more incredible Fun Fold Team swap cards!


We had sooo many fabulous fancy fold cards at our February Team swap!  I've been sharing a few each day this past week. Please look back to see them all; I'm sharing measurements for each one!

Jacki made this stunning Pinwheel Tower card featuring the Nature's Sweetness Suite: 

Her colors include White, Pebbled Path and bit of Gold foil & Vellum. She also added gold pearls and Gold Elegant Trim. The texture is made with the Exposed Brick embossing folder.  The greeting is from the Charming Sentiments bundle.

See the Nature's Sweetness suite here; it's huge & filled with beautiful stamps, textures & die-cuts. 

The picture doesn't do it justice; it's simply stunning! If you haven't made one and want to know how check out this video I shared a while back. 

Measurements:

  • Center box is 3 1/4" X 4 1/4"; scored at 1/4", 1", 1 3/4", 2 1/2" 
  • 4 pieces at 2" tall X 4 1/4" 
  • Designer paper layers are 1 1/8" & 1 7/8" – 2 each of 2 patterns

Next is another incredible card made by Jonna who chose the Gone Fishing bundle seen here.  

She paired it with the Let's Go Fishing designer paper & Twisted Rope 3D embossing folder. This is an entire suite in the Annual catalog and could retired in April. See it all here. 

When you open up her card it's a gift card.  What a great men's card idea!  

Measurements:

  • Navy card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4", folded layer is 4 1/2" X 9 3/4" scored at 3 1/4" & 6 1/2"
  • Designer paper – striped on front is cut with the Deckled Rectangles – finished size is 5 1/8" X 3 3/4", inside gift card is 4 1/4" X 2 1/4"
  • White front – Deckled Rectangle die-cut is 3 7/8" X 2 5/8" finished, center white is 4 1/4" X 3"

Oh; this one is so beautiful!  Tracey made this one with the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper. 

This fold is my absolute favorite way to show off our scenic papers!  the card base has one extra score line and you cut your paper into pieces from left to right so when the card opens it's a full scene! 

I LOVE her heat embossed greeting; it's fussy cut into multiple pieces and added with mini dimensionals; what a fabulous effect!  The texture on the front left panel is the Exposed Brick 3D emboss folder seen here. 

Measurements: 

  • Misty Moonlight card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4", second textured layer is 1" X 5 1/4"
  • Designer paper is 6" X 5 1/4" tall. Cut from left to right at 2 3/4" & 4"

This pretty paper was available online but is sadly gone now.  *Our Online Exclusives are available while supplies last.

I shared how to make this card on a video a few months back. See it here. 

*Stop back in for more fancy fold swaps tomorrow!

  • More Specialty Paper swaps for you.


    From easy to complex I think you’ll find inspiration among these three swap card samples.

    First is Candy’s card. She kept is clean and simple and made the die-cut leaf the star of her card.

    She chose to use Secret Sea as her card base and Vanilla as her textured layer. That pretty leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony bundle and is cut from our Earthen Metallic specialty paper seen here.

    The embossing folder is the Birch Wood 3D; the greeting is from the Perennial Postage dies.

    ~~~

    Next is a beautiful, serene card scene made by Deloris. She did a neat framing technique!

    Beautiful Gallery Suite seen here; from the Beautiful Gallery DSP to the Gallery Blooms dies to create the frame.

    What she did was to use the smaller frame die-cut on the DSP scene and then flip over that frame to reveal the opposite side as a contrast to the main scene. She popped this frame up on Dimensionals too. The greeting is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set. The leaf die-cut is also from the Gallery Blooms dies using the Earthen Metallic specialty DSP. Gorgeous and so smart!!

    ~~~

    Lastly is a neat fun fold card made by Lori who used a brand new suite just released in our Online Exclusives.

    Isn’t this fold fabulous?! She has a base layer of DSP under the scored layers. The scored layers are 1 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ tall. She scored from the top or bottom at 3/4″ from the edge up to the middle and folded it outwards. Super cool!

    This pretty DSP is called Delicate Dreams and can be seen here. The pretty flower is die-cut from this pretty DSP too. The stamp & dies bundle is called Delicate Whispers and can be seen here. So beautiful!

    More swaps coming soon!

  • More Specialty Paper Team swaps with measurements!


    Here are a few more team swaps featuring Stampin’ Up!’s specialty papers:

    First up today is Tracey’s card who used the fractured technique.

    This technique starts with a large piece of designer paper. Then add the diagonal square layer. Next you simply start adding the thin strips of DSP around the edges of the square piece; trimming off the excess on the outer edges. So easy!

    She chose the Lovely & Beautiful DSP for the main piece and the strips are the Season of Elegance specialty DSP found in the Annual Catalog.
    The greeting is from Blessed Beginnings stamp set. I love the thin layer of gold on the outer edge!

    Measurements:

    • Olive card base 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
    • Gold layer 5 1/8″ X 3 7/8″
    • DSP is 3 3/4″ X 5″, inside DSP 5 1/4″ X 4″
    • thin DSP strips are 1/4″ thick.
    • White square is1 7/8″, inside is 5″ X 3 3/4″

    The inside greeting is from Prayers & Promises, the flower and leaves are from the Simply Beautiful stamp set.

    Next is a pretty card made by Marla who also used the Season of Elegance DSP.

    The main circle dies are from the brand new Springtime Scenes bundle which is currently out of stock. The greeting circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies.
    Her colors are Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry & Basic Beige.

    Card base is 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″. DSP is 4″ X 5 1/4″

    More swaps are coming tomorrow!
