Fun Fold

ICS Blog Hop...Online Exclusives

ICS header

Welcome to the Inspire Create Share blog hop.  We are a group of Stampin' Up!® demonstrators who come together every month to participate in this blog hop.  This month the theme is Online Exclusives.  What are Online Exclusives?  Well, they are products that are not featured in any catalog and can be viewed only online.  There are new Online Exclusives released every other month.  We just had a new release on March 4th and what a fantastic release it was.  I feel pretty strongly that it is important to get into the habit of looking at the Online Exclusives on the website.  The product offerings have been so good! 

Sometimes items that were once in a catalog can also be found in the Online Exclusives.  For example the Natural Tones Linen Thread is in the Online Exclusive category and still available for purchase.  The Natural Tones Linen Thread was in the last Mini Catalog (i think that is right) but is not in the Annual Catalog or current Mini Catalog.  

One of my favorites from the March 2025 Online Exclusive release is the Lovely Garden Suite Collection.  The suite includes the Thankful Garden bundle (stamps, dies, & masks), Lovely Garden DSP, Starburst Sequins and 1/4" White ribbon.  I have used parts of the suite for my project.

Enduring Beauty and the Other Half

A couple of weeks ago I posted a card and said I would share what I made with the other half at another time.  The fold I made used a full sheet of cardstock (scored in half horizontally and vertically and then cut on the diagonal)and it created two card bases.   

EnduringBeauty_Hello

This card uses the Enduring Beauty bundle (stamps, dies, and masks), the Softly Sophisticated bundle (Sale-A-Bration), and the Softly Stippled DSP (Sale-A-Bration).  

The roses were stamped in Pebbled Path ink.  This color is part of the 2023-25 In Colors and I have just started to use and appreciate it.  I used the Enduring Beauty Masks and Blending Brushes to color in the leaves and flowers.  I used Daffodil Delight and Old Olive ink.  The color variation depends on how much I inked up the brushes and the pressure applied.  All over the flowers I brushed Wink of Stella.  

The DSP is the Softly Stippled from Sale-A-Bration.  I used the flip sides (aka more neutral sides).  As much as I like the floral designs in this paper pack I also really like the more neutral side.  They coordinate so well together.  In the background of the picture is another flip side of the DSP.

EnduringBeauty_Hello3

Here is the card open.  Inside I added another strip of DSP and the flower from the Softly Sophisticated bundle in Daffodil Delight and Old Olive.  

Here is the link to the card I first made with the card base.   I also used the same patterns of DSP.  This fold is fun and an easy way to make two fun fold cards that can look similar or not.

Around the World on Wednesday...Sketch Challenge

AWOW-banner

Welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday blog hop!  We are a group of international Stampin' Up!® demonstrators who have gathered together for a monthly blog hop.  The blog hop goes live on the 2nd Wednesday of the month.   Join us and enjoy a hop around the world!

AWOW-groupphoto

This month our mighty leader, Angie has a fun sketch challenge.  I will admit I was a bit stumped with what to do with the sketch.  Angie talked me through it (thanks Angie!) and I hope you can see the original sketch in my card.  

AWOW sketch

What would you make with this sketch as inspiration?  I will admit I got hung up on the triangle shape and could only think about a Christmas tree.  Angie reassured me that it could be any shape and the card did not have to be square.  I think these are pretty universal rules about sketch challenges but sometimes it is good to be reminded.

DetailedDogwood_SoftlyStippledDSP_Thanks

I used 2 Sale-A-Bration (this means they are free with qualifying purchases) choices for my card.  The stamp set is the Detailed Dogwood and the paper is the Softly Stippled DSP.   The sentiment is from the Stippled Roses stamp set in the 2024 January-April Mini catalog.

The dogwood blossoms were colored using Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, and Pool Party Stampin' Blends and yes, were fussy cut.  The twine on the tag is from the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim in Pebbled Path.  I un-twisted the jute and tied a bow with just one strand of the jute.  The tag was cut using a die from the Nested Essentials.  Around the images I used the Iridescent Rhinestones to add a little sparkle.

DetailedDogwood_SoftlyStippledDSP_Thanks2

How to create this card base.  Start by scoring your cardstock in half both lengthwise and width wise.  Cut the cardstock on the diagonal.  You will have 2 card bases with this fold.  I will share what I did with the other card base in another post.

DetailedDogwood_SoftlyStippledDSP_Thanks3

Both flaps open or you could also secure one down for a pocket.  I decorated the inside with a strip of Softly Stippled DSP and another flower from the Detailed Dogwood set.  If this flower looks familiar it can be punched out using the Petal Park Builder Punch.

Festive & Fun Bay Window

Ready for another Festive Friday challenge?   What is the Festive Friday challenge?  The Festive Friday challenge is a bi-weekly challenge that is inspired by a holiday/festivity.  An Inspo list of 10 items is created using the festivity as its inspiration.  To play in the challenge you need to use 3 items from the Inspo list on your project and enter it in the Festive Friday gallery.  We love seeing what you choose from the Inspo list and look forward to seeing what you create.

 FF

I used from the Inspo List texture, fun fold, alcohol markers, animals/critters/birds, and stripes.  

Festive&Fun_BayWindow_closed

The texture comes from the Christmas Tidings Embossing folder.  The Basic White panels were all embossed using the folder.  The folder is on the Last Chance List and is 10% off, while supplies last.   The animals/critters/birds are from the super cute Festive & Fun stamp set.  This stamp set is also on the Last Chance Products list so grab it while yo can.  The animals were all colored using Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers).  Here's the list of the colors I used-Smoky Slate, Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Shaded Spruce, Lemon Lime Twist, Blueberry Bushel, and Granny Apple Green.  The colors I used are from the fun and bright striped pattern in the Merry Bold and Bright DSP.   This pack of paper is also on the Last Chance list.  I will definitely miss this pack of paper.  I have enjoyed the bright polka dots and stripes.

Festive&Fun_BayWindow_top

Here is another look at the fun fold and why it is called the Bay Window fold.  This is an easy fold since the scoring does all the work.  The card base is 4-1/4" x 11" Blueberry Bushel.  The scoring is 3/4",  2", 3-1/2", 4-3/4", 5-1/2".  The DSP pieces 1/2" x 4"  and   1" x 4" (cut 2).  The textured Basic White pieces 1/2" x 4" (cut 2) and 1-1/4" x 4".   You will also need a 4" x 5-1/4" of Basic White CS for the inside of the card.

Festive&Fun_Bay_Inside

The 3/4" score line nearest the fold is secured down.  Inside the sentiment is from the  Beary Cute stamp set (also on the Last Chance list).  

Festive&Fun_BayWindow

The greenery behind the animal panel was cut using the Christmas Classics dies in Lemon Lime Twist CS.  These beautiful dies are also on the Last Chance List.  The sparkly berries are from the Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins and yes, they too are on the Last Chance List.  So many fabulous things are on the list!  You can check out the whole list HERE.   There are things on the list that are already sold out.  Shop early to avoid  disappointment.

Thank you for stopping by and be sure to check out what the rest of the design team created for the challenge.

 

I look forward to seeing your creations in the Festive Friday Challenge gallery!

Creativity Abounds Blog Hop...Holidays

125873640_10157240611041642_4807947291545357817_o

Welcome to the Creativity Abounds Blog Hop!  We are an international group of Stampin' Up!® demonstrators.  We hop together on the third Wednesday of every month.  Our hops focus around a particular bundle, holiday, occasion or product suite.  This month we are focusing on the Holidays.

Every month we create a tutorial bundle. The tutorial bundle is available as a gift with a qualifying purchase or can also be purchased.   We also have a stamp camp 3 times a year.  The next camp will be the Winter Meadow Stamp Camp on October 20 & 21.

FestiveFun_MerriestTrees (1)

This card just makes me smile!  I knew I wanted to make a card with this fold and use the Merriest Trees bundle and the Beary Cute bundle.    I ended up using the Festive & Fun stamp set instead of the Beary Cute.  The trees in the Merriest Trees bundle  are so versatile.  You can customize the size of the trees.  There are dies that will cut out just the top portion, 2 sections, 3 sections,  4 sections or the entire tree.  On this card I used the whole tree (middle tree in the back row) and 3 & 4 section trees.  The trees were inked in Shaded Spruce, Garden Green, and Granny Apple Green. 

The snowy DSP is from the Beary Christmas DSP pack.   They were layered on each section.  On the front panel I added the Festive & Fun rhino and sled image and layered the DSP over it.  Aren't they cute going through the snowy woods?  

The rhino &  friends were stamped on Basic White CS with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with Stampin' Blends.  I used the following Stampin'Blends-Smoky Slate, Night of Navy, Balmy Blue, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Shaded Spruce, Granny Apple Green, and Petal Pink.  The image was fussy cut out.

The sentiment is from the Beary Cute stamp set and stamped on Basic White CS that was cut using the Sending Dies.  At the end of the sentiment is an Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequin.  The color on the package says it is Old Olive but i think it works here too.

FestiveFun_MerriestTrees (2)

The card base measures 5" x 10-1/2" scored at 1-1/4", 2-1/2", 4-1/4", 6", and 8-1/4".  When attaching the trees just make sure the height from the base of the card to the treetops are 4-1/4" or less.

Fruitful Blessings & the All About Autumn DSP

As you may have figured out by now I really like the Fruitful Blessings stamp set/bundle.  It is hard to explain but as soon as I saw the set I wanted it.   My absolute favorite is the flower bouquet and the sentiments.  I do have a sample coming up later in the week that features something other than that image so stay tuned for that.  

FruitfulBlessings_AllAboutAutumn

Here i paired it with the All About Autumn DSP.  This beautiful pack of paper is currently not available.  It is expected back in stock soon, the week of October 23.  Hopefully you will be able to get it then and you will still have plenty of time to use it.  It is worth the wait.  

Here I used 2 different patterns both with beautiful Copper foiling.  This side of the DSP is not seasonal so it is one you can use year round.  The bouquet was colored using Stampin' Blends.  I used Pretty Peacock, Old Olive, Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve , and Bubble Bath Stampin' Blends to color the image.  The sentiment is also from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set.  The bow is Linen Thread and the embellishment is the In Color Dots in Moody Mauve.

FruitfulBlessings_AllAboutAutumn_In

This is a simple fun fold.  The card base is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2".  The scoring in 1-1/4" and 4-1/4".  The DSP cuts are (2) 2-3/4" x 5-1/4" and 1" x 5-1/4".  Simple and an easy way to showcase the beautiful DSP. 

FruitfulBlessings_AllAboutAutumn_Hand

It is hard to see but the flowers shimmer with lots of Wink of Stella.

Creativity Abounds Blog Hop...2023-25 In Colors

125873640_10157240611041642_4807947291545357817_o

Welcome to the Creativity Abounds Blog Hop!  We are an international group of Stampin' Up!® demonstrators.  We hop together on the third Wednesday of every month.  Our hops focus around a particular bundle, holiday, occasion or product suite.  This month we are focusing on sharing projects using the 2023-25 In Colors.

Every month we also create a tutorial bundle. The tutorial bundle is available as a gift with a qualifying purchase or can also be purchased.   We also have a stamp camp 3 times a year.  The next camp will be on July 7th and 8th and will feature the Fresh as a Daisy Suite.  You will receive 13 make and takes, access to a private Facebook group and 2 days of even more ideas using the Suite.  All you will need to do is purchase the Fresh As A Daisy Suite and the 2023-24 In Color Jute using this Host Code 7W94CTHJ.   If you already own the suite and the In Color Jute, simply order $81.50 in product from my online store and use the Host Code.  If your order is $150 or more do not use the host code, instead email me that you want to be a part of the Fresh As A Daisy stamp camp.  

CA team

The Fresh As a Daisy DSP is full of the 2023-25 In Colors.   One of the papers looks like a patchwork.  There are 10 designs and I am using the one in the middle which uses Boho Blue and Copper Clay together.   

DarlingDetails_FreshAsADaisyDSP

The card base is Boho Blue CS 4-1/4" x 11", scored at 2-3/4", 4-1/4", 7-1/4" and 8-1/2".  Are you a little confused?  Hold on it will become clear soon.  The Copper Clay CS layer measures 4" x  4" and the DSP measures 3-3/4" x 3-3/4".  The ribbon is the Boho Blue 3/8" Textured Ribbon.  The sentiment is from the Darling Details stamp set inked in Copper Clay and punched out using the Double Oval punch.  The cute little gems on the oval are from the Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems.

DarlingDetails_FreshAsADaisyDSP-2

The second Copper Clay CS layer measures 3-1/2" x 4".  The Boho Blue layer is another pattern from the Fresh As A Daisy DSP and it measures 3-1/4" x 3-3/4".  The Basic White CS measures 2" x 3".

DarlingDetails_FreshAsADaisyDSP-3

The last Copper Clay CS layer measures 2-1/4" x 4".  The Basic White layer measures 2" x 3-3/4" and the strip of DSP is 3/8" x 3-3/4".  Instead of Basic White CS you could use a piece of DSP measuring 2" x 3-3/4".  I used the Basic White CS so there was a little more room to write a note.  

I love that this card looks like it is just a regular card and then it unfolds to show the different panels.  Very fun and it shows off how pretty these 2 In Colors look together.  

Thank you for stopping by and be sure to let me know if you have any questions about this card and/ or the upcoming Fresh As A Daisy stamp camp!

FF131

I chose from the Inspo List bird, birthday sentiment, and Embossing Folder.  

SweetSongbirds_Birthday

I used the chubby bird from the Sweet Songbirds bundle (the bundle price is retiring but the stamp set and punch will be available  separately in the new catalog).  The cute bird was punched out in Balmy Blue CS.  The Mint Macaron gingham is from the Country Gingham 6" x 6" DSP.  Are you wondering what is embossed?  You need to look closely at the Basic White circle the bird is on, it is embossed using the one of the  Basics 3D Embossing Folders (Online Exclusive).  Yes, I was struggling a bit to incorporate 3 items from the Inspo List.  The pretty ribbon is the Balmy Blue Variegated ribbon, still a favorite of mine.  The DSP that is on the card base and on the middle strip is from the Country Floral Lane 12" x 12" DSP.   The little leaves were stamped in Mint Macaron ink and fussy cut out.  The little Balmy Blue gems are from the Iridescent Pastel Gems.

SweetSongbirds_Birthday_open

Inside a Basic White Scalloped Contour die the same size is hidden behind the Balmy Blue Scalloped Contour die.  This is where you can write a little note.  The little heart was punched out of Mint Macaron Gingham using the Country Bouquet punch.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to get more inspiration by checking out what the rest of the design team created.

 


Another Perfectly Penciled Project

I recently went through my leftover file and found these card bases and decided to use them. 

Diagonalfold

To create this fold, score an 8-1/2" x 11" CS at 4-1/4", rotate and score 5-1/2", and then cut the sheet on the diagonal.  

FramedFlorets_PerfectlyPenciled

Cut a piece of 4" x 5-1/4" piece of DSP (I used the Perfectly Penciled DSP) and cut it on the diagonal.  You will need to do this with another design if you want the DSP to be different on each triangle.  Fortunately you can use the DSP triangles on the other card base.  I heat embossed the sentiment from the Framed Florets stamp set in White Embossing Powder.  The oval was cut using the Framed Florets dies (buy the bundle and save 10%).  Around half of the oval I added flowers fussy cut from the DSP and colored using Real Red, Daffodil Delight, and Old Olive Stampin' Blends.  I added a few Red Rhinestones for a little sparkle.

FramedFlorets_PerfectlyPenciled_open

Inside another strip of DSP and fussy cut flower.  This is a pretty quick and easy fun fold.  Isn't it amazing what can be done with a few score lines and a cut?

The tutorial bundle is available as a gift with a qualifying purchase or can also be purchased. This month our focus is the Fancy Flora Suite.

The Fancy Flora Suite is a big one and consists of  the Two-Tone Flora bundle, Something Fancy bundle, the Shimmer Paper pack, Iridescent Pastel Gems, Pool Party Ribbon, and the Fancy Flora DSP.  For my project I used both bundles, the gems, and the beautiful DSP.  

Two-ToneFlora_FunFold_CAhop

Does this fold look familiar?  I posted a card using this fun fold on February 27th.   I don't know the name of this fold, I am calling it a modified Z-fold.

Another Way to Use Your DSP #2

I have a paper problem.  I have a lot of it and have found that I tend to save and store it instead of using and enjoying it.  Can you relate?  Well, I am on a mission to use my DSP (patterned paper).  This is the second in my series of templates/patterns using my paper.  You can see the first one in the series HERE.

I am using Sale-A-Bration products since this is the last day of Sale-A-Bration until 2024!  There were a lot of pretty patterned paper Sale-A-Bration choices so if you are like me, you might have a few of these paper packs or wanted them.  One last day to get them free with a qualifying order.

FavoredFlowers_ThanksABunch

This is the Favored Flowers DSP, a beautiful pack of paper.  The sentiment is from the Thanks A Bunch stamp set.

This one uses the Adorable Owls stamp set and the Dandy Designs DSP.

This one also uses the Dandy Designs DSP but this time with the Easter Bunny.

Easter_Bunny_Dandy_Designs Easter_Bunny_Dandy_Designs_open

The Dainty Flowers DSP sold out.  I wanted to share this one because I used one of the oval flower frames for the closure.  I used the oval from the Framed Florets dies to mount the oval flower frame. 

DaintyFlowers_FramedFlorets

The oval frame is pretty big so I added an additional DSP piece inside of the card and moved the Basic White piece.

DaintyFlowers_Framed Florets_open

The last one.  You can also place the closure piece near the bottom instead of the top.  I didn't make one this time but you could also do this and use a landscape orientation.
