IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR SOME FEATURES AND A FUN FOLD CARD

This week has been all about MORE THAN AUTUMN.

The More than Autumn Bundle includes the More than Autumn Stamp Set and the More than Autumn Dies.

The More than Autumn Bundle has fun stamps and dies for creating autumn-themed and winter-themed accents for cards, scrapbooks, and more.

The stamp set comprises 36 photopolymer stamps, including 13 images and 23 words/phrases. It also has 23 dies, including 15 shapes (12 of which coordinate with the image stamps) and 7 words/phrases. The largest diemeasures 1 5/8″ x 1 3/8″.

REMEMBER: When you buy a current bundle, you save 10%!

My fun fold card today is a Circle Cut Out Card.

It has been quite a while since I used any of the Moody Mauve products, so I decided to use it for this project. I thought Moody Mauve coloured icing on the doughnuts would be perfect.

I started with the Moody Mauve card base and used one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies to cut the centre section out of the card front. Then I took a slightly smaller panel of Lost Lagoon DSP from the Subtles 6″x 6″ DSP, and placed it under the card front and traced the circle cut out. Then I was able to position the same die accurately. When the circle was cut, I was able to adhere the DSP panel on the card front.

For the white interior of the card I cut a piece of Basic White card, measuring 5 5/8″ x 4″. I scored and folded it at 4 3/8″ and then at 2 3/16″. I used my Bone Folder to create crisp folds in the card.

I adhered the white insert insode the card.

Then, after closing the card, I was able to position the Moody Mauve die cut circle inside the corresponding space on the card front. From there, I was able to adhere half the circle to the folded white insert.

I cut a second Moody Mauve circle and two, smaller white circles.

After looping some Moody Mauve Jute behind one of the white circles, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals and popped on the front Moody Mauve circle.

I alyered and adhered the other two circles and added them to the inside of the card.

Then I stamped, coloured and die cut four doughnuts and added them to the card. I also stamped and coloured another doughnut on the back of the envelope.

For the front of the card, I stamped the greeting and cut the banner using one of t he Stylish Shapes Dies. It was popped up on the card with dimensionals.

The final step was to add some Moody Mauve bling from the 2023-2025 In Colour Dots pack.

See you Monday with some new Stampin’ Up! products and projects to share.

Until then, happy stamping.

IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR SOME FEATURES AND A FUN FOLD CARD

This week I have featured the FRAMES & FLOWERS 12″ X 12″ SPECIALTY DESIGNER SEREIS PAPER.

The Frames & Flowers Specialty 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Paper is unlike other patterned paper packs.

It has three sheets of double-sided designs with floral and greenery designs on one side and all-purpose patterns on the other. And it also has three sheets of die-cut greenery elements that you can use on card fronts or to frame photos on scrapbook pages.

As a fun plus, some of the die-cuts are sized to fit card fronts, making it easy to create quick, beautiful cards. This paper is a must for card makers and scrapbookers!

 The pack has 6 sheets of patterned paper: 1 each of 3 double-sided designs and 1 each of 3 single-sided die-cut designs, measuring 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm).

The paper is both acid and lignin free.

The product colours are Early Espresso, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie, Shaded Spruce, andSoft Sea Foam.

This paper crafting staple is great scrapbook paper, card making paper, and more!

The card I have for you today is a fun fold card using one full 12″ x 12″ sheet of DSP.

The card measures 3″ x 3″ and is 3/8″ deep.

To make the card, inspired by a Facebook or Instagram feed I recently saw (but did not keep any details of), I took a 12″ x 12″ sheet of DSP and scored it at 3″, 6″ and 9″. Then I rotated the paper 90 degrees and repeated the scoring.

The next step was to cut 9″ along the 3″, 6″ and 9″ score lines on one side. The yellow lines, in the image below, are the cut lines.

The next step was to start in the bottom left corner and begin to fold each square onto the next and burnish as you go. The aim is to fold the paper so that only one side of the DSP can be seen and the other side is folded in on itself.

After you have made some really crisp, burnished edges you can unfold the paper and then glue it together.

Then I started to decorate each of the 16 3″ x 3″ ‘pages’.

The front card panel was decorated with a square, floral die cut panel from the DSP pack. I also added a Pumpkin Pie heart, cut using one of the heart dies from the Adoring Hearts Dies set.

I added lots of 2 3/4″ squares and elements from the DSP pack.

The white squares provide lots of places for birthday greetings and messages.

To hold the card in place when folded, I made a belly band and decorated it with a length of Iridescent Striped Trim that I coloured with the Light Pumpkin Pie Blends pen. The ribbon was tied into a bow around the belly band.

The birthday greeting, from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set, was stamped in Pumpkin Pie on Basic White card.

Then it was cut using the second largest of the square dies, from the Stylish Shapes Dies, and then recut to create a rectangle. The greeting panel was then positioned over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I also added one of the flowers from the DSP pack to the band.

This was a fun card to make and I look forward to using this technique again.

This weekend I have two more projects to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR SOME FEATURES AND A FUN FOLD CARD

The coordinating Regal FLora Dies have 7 dies – 5 coordinating floral/leaf dies, 1 multiple floral die and 1 panel die that cuts two pieces.

To coordinate with the Regal Flora Bundle there is the Regal Winter 12″ x 12″ DSP pack. It comprises 2 eacg of 6 double sided designs.

There is also an additional 12″ x 12″ paper collection – Regal Distressed PatternsSpecialty DSP. It has 2 each of three single sided, gold foil designs.

To finish projects, using this suite, there is the Blackberry Bliss & Gold 1/2″ Textured Ribbon and Regal Foiled Adhesive-backed Dots.

There is plenty to chhose from with this suite collection and no end to the creative possibilities they bring.

My Friday Fun Fold card was inspired by Susan Campfield. It is a Charming Channel Pop Up card.

My Pretty Peacock cardbase measures 8 1/4″ x 5 3/4″, scored at 4 1/8″.

For the card front, I attached a Basic White panel and then a smaller DSP panel.

The greeting was stamped, in Pretty Peacock on Basic White card, before being cut using the shaped panel die from the REgal Winter Dies pack.

The stamped panel was attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finally, I added some Pretty Peacocok gems from the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems pack.

The scored insert panel measures 10″ x 5 5/8″ and was scored at 2″, 2 3/4″, 3 1/2″, 4 1/4″, 5 3/4″, 6 1/2″, 7 1/4″ and 8″.

Each of the scored panels then had DSP panels added to them.

The Basic White card insert was stamped and the back of the envelope was stamped as well.

I’m not yet sure what I will have to share with you over the weekend.

Untl then, happy stamping.
