Turtle & Friends Fun Fold swaps

Today I have a few special fun fold cards made with the Turtle & Friends bundle seen here.  They were for a Flowerbug's Team swap we held last month with an 'Animal Fun Fold' theme. 

The first card was made by Paula. Her cute card is called a Double Dutch Door fold.

I love the rounded corners on her front layer and the sweet background made with images from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set.  She sponged the sky & grass too.  

Measurements:

  • Evening Evergreen card base 4 1/4" X 8 1/2" tall scored at 5 1/2", and the lower doors piece is 8 1/2" X 3" wide scored at 2 1/8" & 6 3/8" 
  • White upper stamped layer is 4" X 2 3/4"
  • Lower DSP (Pattern Party host) layer is 1 3/4" X 2 3/4
  • Granny Apple Green inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 

To put this card together you add the scored horizontal piece to the vertical card base and add the inside layer over it.

Next is a fun fancy fold card made by Marla.  I'd forgotten about this unique card fold!  It looks like a normal card at first glance.

But when you lift the front it reveals this!

She used the Expressions in Ink specialty DSP in the annual catalog for her card front.  She also used the Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder for the Garden Green strip. 

Measurements:

  • Garden Green 2 pieces at 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" plus a 1 1/2" X 4" piece for the embossed strip
  • Whisper White inside is 3 3/4" X 11" scored at 1" & 6" 
  • Expressions in Ink DSP 4" X 5 1/4"

  • The easy way to do the Whitewashing Technique; with video

    I've been playing with the Whitewashing Technique lately. Today I'm sharing a card I made on Facebook Live with the Honeybee Home bundle.

    You can see another group of cards I used this technique on here. 

    Honeybee Home white washing technique Save

    Please watch the video to see how to do this.  Here are some tips:

    • I stamped the main image using Gorgeous Grape ink onto the same color card stock.
    • Let it dry a bit and color the image in with White Craft ink and a water painter brush.
    • If you want to see the stamped image you'll want to use a light amount of White Craft ink. 
    • I add water to some White Craft ink in a puddle and use that to 'paint'.  
    • You can paint with strokes to indicate lines on your image.

    I used the Heart & Home doilies under the Tasteful Label die-cut.  

    The background paper is the Simply Marbelous Sale-a-Bration DSP that I added a bit of Highland Heather ink to.
