Vertical Slider card – a neat and easy fun fold with video

I'm not sure what will be on the Clearance Rack but I do know what's on the Last chance list.  Download 2022 Holiday Catalog Last Chance here

Go here to see them all Thursday, December 1st.

I am loving this Vertical slider fun fold design!  I've made two so far and I can easily see me making more.  

It basically a gatefold card but the additional layer holds it closed.

I chose quite unique colors for the Scottie dog.  Think of it as a stuffed animal; ha!  The colors include Pool Party, Petal Pink and Pumpkin Pie.  I wanted to use the Metallic & Shimmer 6 X 6" DSP; I think it's perfect for a celebratory card with the shimmer & dots.  

The Scottie Dog punch is 30% off starting December 1st; instead of $19, it will be $13.30!  

For the inside I used the ribbon image from the Christmas Scottie stamp set and the greeting is from Charming Sentiments.

The main element comes off when you open the card; plus it slides up and down too.   It consists of three 2 1/4" circles.  2 are scored in half and adhered to the back of the main element.  Then the last one is adhered over both folded circles.

What do you think?  Do the colors work for you?  

Measurements:

  • Petal Party card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" from each end
  • White 2 5/8" square
  • Pumpkin 2 3/4" square
  • Pool Party 2 7/8" square

  • Nothing’s Better Than fun fold card with video!

    We made this CUTE card at my August Card Clubs with the Nothing's Better Than bundle seen here.  

    Aug Nothing Better than Save

    It's a triple flap gate-fold card!  It's super easy to make and fun to open too.  Check out the measurements AND the video below. Be sure to read the front AND the inside below. This stamp set is just plain FUN! 

    I chose to use Early Espresso with Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry. To get a lighter hue for the chocolate and cookies images I stamped off the Early Espresso ink first.  Is it just me or do some of these images remind you of the Jetsons cartoon show? 

    Aug Nothing Better than Save

    Measurements:

    – Early Espresso 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" from each end

  • I really did play with the ‘Playing with Patterns’! Check out the video!

    I had a lot of fun mixing up the patterns in this super cute designer paper on a Facebook Live video.  *See it below. 

    First is a play on triangles. These pieces are just 3/4" wide X 3" long! What a fun way to use your scraps!!

    Playing with Patterns diagonal both Save

    Cut 6 pieces of Designer Paper at 3/4" X 3" and then cut each one from one corner to the opposite one.  Now you can piece these together on a contrasting piece of card stock measuring 4" X 5 1/4".  Be sure to watch the video below to see how it's done.  

    The greeting circle is from the Painted Label dies and the greeting is from the Pattern Play stamp set.  See the entire suite of Playing with Patterns products here. 

    Next is a fun card where you cut narrow strips of designer paper and piece them onto a background sheet.  Just offset them slightly to create a 'Bargello' look. This is a quilting technique perfect for striped paper!

    Which one is your favorite?  The colors are Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy.

    I like the one below as the Bargello look is more apparent with the dark Navy strips.   The greeting dies are from one of my favorites; the Stitched So Sweetly dies in the annual catalog seen here.

  • A pretty home decor framed sampler with Life is Beautiful!

    I made this shadow box home decor piece with my Life is Beautiful stamp set.  It fits in a 12" shadow box frame.

    Here's the Life is Beautiful stamp set I helped design as part of my Million Dollars in sales achievement with Stampin' Up!. You can order it here.

    Two tips! 

    • The 'ground' image can also be clouds!  Cool, right?
    • And if you stamp the tree twice, you can achieve a 'thicker' trunk and fuller tree.  Just lower the image on the second stamping.

    I did use the Field of Flowers stamp set for the grass, flowers & dragonflies.  I sponged the white card stock with Balmy Blue to remove the 'white' background.  I added Shimmery Crystal Effects on the dragonflies and leaves on the top greeting piece. 

    Colors used: Soft Suede, Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Balmy Blue

    Products: In Good Taste Designer Paper, sponges, Linen Thread, Heat embossing in White, Shimmery Crystal Effects, Artistry Blooms adhesive backed sequins, 2 shades of Brown markers for bird house,
