FUN FOLD FRIDAY

The heading says it all – each Friday, I will share a ‘new’ Fun Fold card. I have been compiling a list of as many card folds as I can and there are lots of them. Some of themI haven’t made before.

Today’s card is a Double Dutch Card and it is the first time I have made one. I looked at several templates and then created my own set of measurements to make sure that my card would fit well in a C6 envelope.

When the card goes into the envelope it measures 5-3/4″x 4-1/4″ or 14.7cm x 10.7cm.

I started with a piece of 12″x 12″ Real Red cardstock. Here is a diagram to illustrate how to cut and score the cardstock.

After cutting and burnishing the card base, I cut the Basic White layers and Designer Series Paper layers.

Before attaching the main panel, I tied a bow and wrapped a length of Real Red Faux Linen Ribbon around it. I used Tear & Tape to secure the ribbon in place.

The sentiment was stamped using Real Red ink and was cut into a thin strip. I used a number of Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the greeting up.

I added a strip of DSP to the card insert and added a second sentiment to the inside of the card.

The finishing touch for this card was to add some Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

The card looks great opened out fully.

It has been a fun week making projects using the Sweet Talk Product Suite.

I wonder which new products I will use for next week’s projects?

Until then, happy stamping.

DOUBLE TROUBLE

Hello to my stamping friends – welcome and thanks for popping by.

Today I’m sharing another first time project. As I wander through Facebook groups and Pinterest, I am amazed at the number of card styles and fancy folds that I am yet to try.

THis project is a DOUBLE DISPLAY CARD.

It was time to use some of the paper from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. I chose the WHALE OF A TIME 6″x 6″ DSP for this card. The card base uses Pretty Peacock card stock. I also used Blackberry Bliss panels.

For the front and insert pieces I cut the DSP and then fussy cut lots of the turtles to have them ‘swim’ in the scenes.

The birthday greeting and coordinating die are from the FINE ART FLORAL BUNDLE. The greeting was stamped in Pretty Peacock onto Pool Party card stock.

The ribbon is from the PLAYING WITH PATTERNS RIBBON COMBO PACK and is secured on the back of the card under a panel of Pretty Peacock and Basic White card – a perfect place to write a birthday message.

I adhered some of the SEQUINS FOR EVERYTHING on the front of the card.

When the bow is untied and the card opened out you can see all the decorated panels.

The best way to view the card is when it is open and standing – that’s when you can see all the interesting pop out panels.

A closer look and you can see that my fussy cutting is getting so much better!

This card certianly involved a few more steps and some careful measuring to get all the elements just right, but it was well worth the effort.

Happy stamping!
