IT IS FRIDAY & TIME FOR A FUN FOLD CARD

Today I have a fun fold card that is new to me. It is a triple panel tiered display fold card.

I first ‘discovered’ it when I received a card swap, from Karen Williams, at the 2024 OnStage Live event in Melbourne … thank you Karen!

Using her wonderful swap, I was able to take measurements and create my version of this great display card.

As you can see, I used Old Olive card for each of the three layers and then Basic White card.

The Floral Delight DSP had so many great options to decorate each layer.

The greeting was stamped and die cut in the same way as my projects that I have shared this week. Adhesive Sheets are such a great resource to add to your crafting collection.

I punched three small holes and looped and secured some lengths of Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon through each of them.

This card gave loads of opportunities to layer different card and DSP layers.

The two-step stamped floral images created a wonderful feature on the inner most panel of the card.

The same two-step flower image was stamped on the back of the envelope.

As the name of this fun fold card suggests, this is a great display card.

To finish the card I adhered some of the Tiny Bee Trinkets to the smallest front panel.

Next week, I have no idea yet what I plan to share with you … but, I’m sure that I will make a decision soon.

Until then, happy stamping.

3D THURSDAY & I HAVE A GIFT BOX TO SHARE WITH YOU

I was very fortunate to receive a 3D swap when I attended the Stampin’ Up! OnStage Live event in Melbourne last year – thank you Laura Stranks for your inspiration.

Using the box that I had kept in my swaps box, I was able to use Laura’s measurements and instructions to recreate it. This is my version using the Floral Delights Suite.

The finished box measures 3″x 1 1/2″ and has a 1″ top closure.

After cutting, scoring and trimming the box base I assembled it.

I used a non-Stampin’ Up! punch to create the holes for the Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon to be threaded through and tied in a bow.

The Designer Series Paper panels measures 2 3/4″x 1 1/4″. They were glued in place using Multipurpose Adhesive Glue.

The birthday greeting was stamped and cut, minus the’you a’ prefix. After trimming the greeting, I added a thin length from the Stampin’ Dimensionals sheet.

To finish the gift box I adhered some of the Tiny Bee Trinkets to the top, front panel.

Tomorrow is Fun Fold Friday and I have a three panel card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

Today’s project started with a Peach Pie card base and a panel of DSP (Designer Series Paper) that has a lovely, small floral and leaf design.

I also used the same Pecan Pie DSP that were on both my Monday and Tuesday projects.

After preparing the card base and DSP layers, I began die cutting the floral and leaf elements.

The colours I used for the flowers and leaves were Peach Pie and Old Olive. The card had Adhesive Sheets attached to back to ensure an easier, and less sticky, way to join them.

To create the darker inserts, I coloured these two card colours using the same dark Stampin’ Blends Pens.

I attached the two branches on the card front before beginning to position and secure the flowers.

The birthday greeting was stamped, die cut and trimmed. Then I added a strip cut from a sheet of Stampin’ Dimensionals to add it to the front of the card.

I took a long length of Linen thread and tied a layered bow. After trimming the ends, I secured it to the card front using a mini Glue Dot.

A strip of DSP was added to the card insert and a larger piece was adhered to the back of the envelope.

Finally, I coloured some white Adhesive-backed Sequins, from the Trio Pack, using the dark Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends pen.

Tomorrow is Thursday and I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
