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!

  • Love of Leaves; make one cut and get two cards!


    Last week I shared a card featuring the Love of Leaves bundle.  *You can see it below.  Now I'm sharing the other card I made with the inside of the die-cut.  Cut once and make two cards using these stitched leaf dies! 

    The Love of Leaves bundle is going to be a big favorite this fall!  See it here. 

    Details

    • The die-cut is Soft Suede and the card base is Cajun Craze. 
    • The Pretty Peacock designer paper is from the new Magic in the Night Halloween Designer Series paper seen here!  As you can see, it's not just for Halloween!  
    • I also used the new Celebration Label dies seen here; I love the stitched shape of these!  
    • The stamped leaves image is created with the Life is Beautiful stamp set.

    Below you'll see the other card I made with the outside or window when I cut the leaf above.

  • Life is Beautiful with a beautiful masked & sponged window technique!


    I like to join many online card swaps in groups with friends from all over the country; especially when new catalogs come out. 

    Here is a swap I made with my Life is Beautiful stamp set; the set I helped create as a Million Dollar Achiever with Stampin' Up!  I achieved this over a year ago but the stamp set just came out this month.  You can order it now here. 

    I chose to use Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla card stock. The inks are Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso and Calypso Coral.  I absolutely LOVE creating masked windows! Sponging is a learned art and I have some great tips for you.  I shared this card on Facebook Live Tuesday, August 11th and uploaded the video to YouTube below.  

    This card is one I am so pleased with.  It shows off the pretty images included in the set so perfectly. 

    Do you make doubles or more of your favorite cards?  I actually really like making multiples of the same card.  But when you're doing a time consuming technique like this one it can little 'old'!  However, using the Stamparatus when making multiple cards is the ONLY way to go!  It sure makes quick work of making many of the same card.  I don't usually like to show my 'messy desk' pictures but you can see what happens to my desk area when I'm working! It gets smaller and so crowded! Ha!


    Watch the video below for step by step tutorial on making this pretty card.  Plus I share tons of card ideas for this pretty and versatile stamp set!

  • Life is Beautiful swap with Love of Leaves dies


    Here's another card I made for an online card swap I joined in July.  I have been having so much fun playing with my Life is Beautiful stamp set!  

    The colors are Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso and Pumpkin Pie; one of my favorite color combo's for Fall.  I added some sponging and a pretty die-cut from the Ornate Frames die seen here.  The Linen thread behind the greeting is simply a big bow. 

    This card is included in my August card kit to go.  The kit includes the Life is Beautiful stamp set AND an 8 cards pre-cut kit. You have through August 20th to get this kit and the pdf tutorial is also included. It's just $28; a steal for a stamp set AND cards kit!   Read all about it here.

    Did you notice the stitching on the bottom of this card?  That's done with the Love of Leaves dies seen here:
