FOR FRIDAY IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER FUN FOLD CARD

It seems as if the year is trying to race toward the finish already. We are only a few short days away from the end of January, as this week draws to a close.

So it’s time for me to share a Fun Fold card with you. I think this one is called a Triangle Fun Fold card.

This is the last project featuring the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle and the Sunshine & Rainbows 6″x 6″ DPS.

Let me show you the structure of the card before I describe how I used the products.

After I trimmed the cardstock down to 11-1/2″ in length, I cut it diagonally in half. Then I scored the folds at 4-1/4″ and 5-3/4″. Then I used my bone folder to burnish the folds crisply.

I took some of the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP and cut the triangle pieces to add to the card front.

Then I used the second largest Stitched Rectangle Die to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock before embossing it. I used the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

I cut the half rainbow from some Granny Apple Green, Misty Mooklight, So Saffron and Soft Sea Foam cardstock.

The sentiment and hearts were stamped onto a small piece of Basic White card and was then cut down to this small size. It was popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I drew a live on the back of the embossed white piece and used Multipurpose Glue to attach it to the upper left hand side panel.

To finish off the card I stamped the card insert and envelope. Then I coloured some Iridescent Rhinestones using the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend.

Let me know what you think of my latest card.

Now it’s time to decide what to use for this week’s project posts, starting with Simply Saturday tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping.

3D THURSDAY – IT’S TIME FOR A NEW GIFT BOX DESIGN

Thanks for joining me for today’s 3D Thursday project. I will be making this on my Facebook Live today and will add a video tutorial to my Youtube channel soon.

Let me know what you think of this project.

The gift box is 6″ long and each side is 3″ wide. Here are some instructions that may help.

I used a 12″x 12″ piece of Mango Melody cardstock and cut and scored the box using the instructions above.

Then I cut some of the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP for the panels and triangular ends.

I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round off the corners of the front flap.

To assemble the triangle I used Stampin’ Seal + on the flaps that are on the triangles. Then I wrapped the sides up and pressed the edges together. A bone folder made it easier to secure the adhesive in place.

I used super strong magnets to help hold the box flap in place. Mini Glue dots were used to secure them in place.

To finish the gift box I used one of the Brilliant Rainbow Dies to cut the gift tag. I stamped the greeting on this tag and then added some ribbons through the rainbow cut aways. They were gathered up and tied with a piece of white Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Pack. The tag was then attached to the front of the box using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I’ll come back and add a link to the Youtube video tutorial once I have uploaded it.

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

Until then, happy stamping.

WELCOME TO WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY

Each Wednesday I will share a card that I make for the Global Design Project challenge. This week’s challenge is #GDP327 and it is a theme challenge.

Now one of the interesting things about taking part in the weekly challenges is that I will still be using the same products that I am featuring each week.

I had to think about how I would create a Love – Valentine’s Card using the products from the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle and Sunshine & Rainbows 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

So, what do you think?

For this card I used a Misty Moonlight cardbase and added an embossed layer. I used the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

Using coloured cardstock, that coordinates with the DSP, I cut the rainbow arches tag from the Brilliant Rainbow Dies set.

After choosing the DSP for the hearts, I used the heart die from the Sweet Hearts Dies. I adhered the hearts to the tags and then attached them to the card front.

After attaching some Adhesive Sheets to the back of a strip of Magenta Madness cardstock I used the Playful Alphabet Dies. The love theme was successfully achieved by my declaration of love on the card front.

To finish the card front I die cut three small hearts from the Sweet Hearts Dies and secured them in place with Multipurpose Glue.

On the card insert and envelope I stamped the Valentine’s Day greeting from the Sweet Conversations Stamp Set. I also added some more die cut hearts.

After cutting an extra tag, from the Brilliant Rainbow Dies, I stamped another of the sentiments from the Sweet Conversation Stamp Set.

By using a couple of extra products I was able to ensure that a card, featuring this week’s sunshine and rainbows products, could be made a love and Valentine’s card.

Tomorrow is Thursday and 3D project day. I have a great triangle gift box to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
