Fancy Fold using Symbols of Fortune DSP

 Happy Monday!  Today I am enjoying crafting while the sun shines in my windows!  It's so nice to be able to work with the curtains open and use the natural light.

My post today is creating a new to me fold and boy did it have me stumped for a bit. I found a couple of different versions on Pinterest and made it my own and am so happy with the end results.

I wanted to showcase some of the soon to be retired Symbols of Fortune DSP-some of which I actually fussy cut for the front and back of the card.

Crumb Cake Cardbase: 4 1/8 x 10 7/8.  Score at 6, 7 1/8, 9 and 10 1/8"; 3 x 6.  Score at 1/2x 1/5/8"

DSP-Symbols of Fortune: 4 x 4 3/8; 4 x 1 5/8"

Basic White: 3 3/4x 5 5/8; 2 3/4 x 4 1/8"

Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen cardstock scraps

Sweet Songbirds Stamp set

Double Oval Punch

Embossing Folder-Bark 3D

Memento and Calypso Coral ink pads

Blending Brush

Dimensionals

Rhinestone Basic Jewels


Burnish the score lines of the Base card.  Add the dsp with Stampin Seal.  Add adhesive to the smaller tab and fold up to adhere to the front.

Fold each of the score lines of the front panel.  Add adhesive to the small scored section at the top.  Before sticking it down, turn the cardstock over and place it on the front of the card to see where to place the adhesive on the lower panel.  Add adhesive then flip it over, holding the card flat and adhere this panel.

Using the Calypso Coral ink pad and the Blending Brush, add some colour to the larger of the pieces of Basic White card stock.  I also fussy cut a flower from the dsp added.  Adhere to back of card.  For the smaller piece of Basic White, run it through your embossing machine using the Bark 3D embossing folder.  With blending brush again, add some Calypso Coral colour using a circular motion.  Add this to the front of the card using adhesive.  Fussy cut some flowers from DSP and pop up on front of card using dimensionals.  Stamp the sentiment on Soft Succulent using Memento ink.  Using the Double Oval punch, punch out the sentiment using small oval, and from Evening Evergreen, punch using the larger, scalloped oval.  Adhere together and pop up on card front using dimensionals.  Finish it off by adding some Rhinestones to the card front.  This card will stand up on it's own but will also lay flat for mailing.





Thanks for dropping by, I hope you liked the card and you try it out!  Want to see more?  Copy this url into your browser and see what I've been up to!  https://bit.ly/MaryLouiseSocial

Stampin' Up! Splendid Autumn Sympathy Card

Image
Today's card was inspired by a sketch seen on facebook from an American Demonstrator.  I was intrigued by the cool way to use some of our beautiful designer series paper and the best part is, you don't need a huge piece! I am attending a Stampin' Up! event this weekend and we were asked to bring a few projects to share and this is one of my projects. Fall isn't officially here yet, but once school starts up and the leaves start to fall off the trees, it's pretty close.  The Splendid Autumn designer series paper is gorgeous, the beautiful rich colours are simply stunning.   The cardbase and matte layer are Wild Wheat and the cardstock that the dsp is mounted on is Crushed Curry.  Simply cut the pieces and adhere together and then adhere to the card front.  I stamped using Memento onto a strip of Basic White cardstock which was then mounted on to another piece of Crushed Curry.  This was then popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals after the length of 2023...

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter Christmas Card

Image
Good day folks!  I am here with another card created for my recent Stampin' Up! gathering this past weekend.  We had a day long activity where we focused on building up our Stampin' Up! business, watched several Atlantic Demos create some beautiful projects and then participated in a show box swap.  This was my shoe box swap offering. I have used this fancy fold layout several times and thought it was the perfect opportunity to showcase some of the beautiful Nests of Winter dsp in the latest mini catalogue! My cardbase is Grey Granite which was cut and scored, the die cut square behind the image and the strip to hold the card together are all Gray Granite too.  The dsp is from Nests of Winter and they are adhered to the front and the inside of the cardbase.  There is a small piece of Basic White for the insert and fits beside the piece of dsp.  The strip of Gray Granite,  is scored is secured next.  Starting at the far left edge of the card front,...
