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"

  • Striking and fun Black Magic technique with video!

    I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It’s the Black Magic technique!

    Save

    My colors include Peaceful Pine, Old Olive (ink only), Golden Glow and White. It features the Fern & Flora bundle seen here.

    Save

    What is the Black Magic technique? It’s where you start with a light neutral piece of card stock and add color with sponges or markers. Then stamp images in Versamark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. The magic happens when you cover it completely with a water based ink (here I used Secret Sea). Then wipe off the ink that does not ‘stick’ to the heat embossed areas. True magic!

    Watch my video tutorial further below to see this technique in action.

    Save

    On this card I used mostly the stamp images; only the greeting die-cut is from the dies. I added a few In Color butterfly gems and the pretty Golden Glow ribbon too.

    I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download it or to print it.

    I made one with Golden Glow as the card base and the other as Peaceful Pine as the card base.

    Save

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another.
