Sweet Ice Cream Fun Fold card with video tutorial

We made this special fun fold card at last month's Card Clubs.  See how it latches on the punched ice cream piece? 

Save

I used the Sweet Ice Cream bundle and the Ice Cream Corner Designer Paper seen here.  This DSP is retiring in June; if you like it get it now while you can. The cones on this card are punched from the designer paper itself.  No need to stamp them when the paper is perfect! The card stock is Cinnamon Cider with Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive.

You can mix & match the designer papers for a nice variety of cards.  I used Blackberry Bliss, Pear Pizzazz and Cinnamon Cider ink, stamping off first for the solid ice cream images. 

The Sweet Ice Cream bundle is available now in the Spring catalog. This set & punch are carrying over into the current Annual catalog but they are no longer a bundle at 10% off.  Save $$ and get them now at a discount. 

Be sure to watch the video below to see how to make this card.

Here are the measurements for you:

• Cinnamon Cider 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" plus 3 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"

• Reflection Technique with Mountain Air

  March 25, 2020

  ---

  I honestly didn't know I'd enjoy creating with the Mountain Air bundle as much as I do.  I didn't think it would be so easy to work with!  

  Even this reflection technique is simple to create.  Do you know why?  Because of the reversible nature of these stamps.  The mountain image is textured on one side, creating the pretty mountain peaks on this card.  The mountain shadow/reflection on the water is made with the same stamp but using the solid side.

  This card is part of my free written projects tutorial for anyone who placed an online order from me in March.  And it's also free to anyone who orders the Mountain Air bundle too!  You can see this bundle here. 

  If you order it in March you can get a free Sale-a-Bration choice! Below I show each stamp in three ways.  First is the detailed side of the stamp, next is the flat side and lastly you see them together.  Reversible stamps are so neat and Stampin' Up! is super clever to create them!

  Details for the card above:

  1.  I stamped the mountains first, then the trees underneath. 
  2.  I turned the trees stamp upside down and without reinking, stamped them again for a reflection. 
  3.  Next the mountain reflection. 
  4.  Lastly I sponged a bit of light blue on the sky and darker blue for water.  
  5. The greetings are from the Well Written dies and Well Said stamp set. 
  6. Colors are Mossy Meadow, Pacific Point and Smoky Slate

• Well Dressed; a great manly stamp set!

  March 24, 2020

  ---

  How are you all doing?  Staying home and safe; if you can?  I know some people have to work and those of us who are not really appreciate you!  I feel for you!  It's a scary world out there right now.  Hopefully a little craft therapy will help you stay in a positive state of mind. It's a unique situation that we've never dealt with before.  We're just not used to being restricted!  

  Here's a cute card perfect for the men in our lives.  It's made with the new Well Dressed stamp set seen here in the 2nd release of Sale-a-Bration products. 

  Save

  I believe it's Smoky Slate with Basic Gray and a pop of Crushed Curry and Pool Party.  The images are all stamped on die-cut Stitched Rectangles.  Behind those is a piece of Neutrals designer paper.  I've been featuring this paper the last few days since I know many people haven't noticed it in our annual catalog. We have patterns in every single color we carry in 6 X 6" packs!  

  You can see them all here.
