Stampin' Up! Bright & Beautiful Fancy Fold Card

 Have you ever had one of those moments when you just feel like making a card for no reason at all?  Well, that's what happened to me last night after the boys went to bed.  I didn't have a reason other than I wanted to continue showcasing some of the awesome current Stampin' Up! products and also to try to bash my dsp stash.

My name is Mary Louise and welcome to my blog!  I had seen this fancy fold several times, I might have even tackled it before but if I did, it was awhile ago.  It is such a simple way to make a statement card that can be for any occasion.




My cardbase is Blueberry Bushell which was cut and scored, the die cut circle behind the image and the strip to hold the card together are all Blueberry Bushell too.  The dsp is from Bright & Beautiful 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 Blueberry Bushell, which is scored is secured next.  Starting at the far left edge of the card front, adhere the strip up to the first score line of the card only.  Then add adhesive to the last section on the strip which is also scored to the right side of insert.  Now you can add your image, which was die cut from the Zoo Crew using the Stylish Shapes Dies.  I adhered my image to the circle of Blueberry Bushell, centered on the scored line.  The sentiment, from Something Fancy, was stamped using Memento onto Basic White and cut down using my scissors.  This was then popped up using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals followed with a few of the Classic Matte Dots.

Materials and Measurements:

Blueberry Bushell cardstock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4; scrap for die cut, 1 x 8 1/2 scored at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4

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,...
