DAINTY DELIGHT W/HAPPY HEDGEHOG FENCE EASEL FUN FOLD FOR THE SU DEMOS FUN FOLDS BLOG HOP

June 27, 2023 admin

Welcome to our Blog Hop!

We have a great lineup of talented crafters for you today, who enjoy creating fun folds. If you love fun folds, I am hoping you find inspiration and enjoyment so much that you will be inspired to join us next time. You are in for a treat with all the talented demonstrators participating. You can find that list located at the end of the post about my card creation.

The card I am sharing today for our Blog Hop is created using Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight stamp set and Dies and greeting and sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set. An embossing folder from Basic 3D Embossing Folders.

I cut a piece of Basic White card stock 5-1/2″ x 11″. I scored at 2-3/4″ and 7″. The other marking in the above diagram are pencil markings instead of hard scoring. You should watch Terri Gaines video. Click on her name and it will take you to her PDF and video. She gives great instruction about creating the fence. She also gives a great tip about keeping the fence post even. The 2-3/4″ is a mountain fold and the 7″ is a valley fold.

To create the fence and fence post, I cut (6) strips of card stock 1/2″ x 2-1/2″ for the post, each post gets 2 pieces and (3) fence rails 1/2″ x 5-1/2″. I die cut daisies from Daffodil Delight card stock using the daisy dies from Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies Dies. The vine is another die from the same set and is die cut in Garden Green and Granny Apple Green card stock. The bird and butterfly are from Stampin’ Up! Happy Hedgehog stamp set. They are stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored using Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue, and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends Markers. Die cut (3) pieces of grass from Garden Green card stock using a die from Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons stamp set.

One piece of the grass goes on the panel that has the easel stopper. Another piece goes on the bottom of the card so when the card is closed grass will show through the fence. The last piece is adhered to upper section of the easel panel so grass shows through the fence. A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a Basic White card stock scrap, matted on a small piece of Garden Green card stock, and adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Daisies are popped around the sentiment.

A Basic White envelope gets a greeting and greenery from Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend stamp set stamped on the envelope flap in Garden Green ink.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you took the time to linger and look at my other blog post and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

Now, head to the Lineup below to see even more fun fold inspiration!

Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles– Big Hugs

May 12, 2023 admin

The card I am sharing today, I call a Twisted Ribbon Fun Fold card. I use Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set and Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I also used Vellum for my art piece and for the inside sentiment panel.

I started with a piece of Bubble Bath card stock, cut 5-1/2″ x 10-1/2″ and scored it at 2-3/8″ and 6-3/4″. I know these are weird measurements, but they are my own doing. On a piece of Vellum I stamped a flower from Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set in Versa Mark and sprinkled White Embossing Powder over the stamped image and heat set using a heat tool. Be sure to embossed on the correct side or your embossing will rub off. The Vellum piece is added to the card base on the right side panel. A greeting from the stamp set is stamped in Versa Mark on a scrap of Night of Navy card stock. It is also embossed using White Embossing Powder and a heat tool. Three Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels are popped around the right panel.

I embossed the other panel of Versa Mark using another flower from Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set and sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments stamp set. I adhered the panel to the middle panel of the card base inside.

A Basic White Medium Envelope gets twisted ribbons applied to the envelope flap using the Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper as the strips to create the ribbon design.

Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Hello

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set and Sending Dies along with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder and Perfectly Penciled DSP.

My card design for today is from the Fusion Card Challenge. I chose the sketch portion of the challenge.

I colored the panel with flowers using Balmy Blue, Fresh Freesia, and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. After coloring, I adhered the two panels to Basic Black card stock as a mat. The two panels were then adhered to the card front of the card using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A greeting is cropped using stamps and dies from Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set and Sending Dies. Basic Black card stock is used as the mat. Three Pearl Basic Jewels are colored using a Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends Marker and then popped around the card.

A panel of Basic White card stock set flowers that match the card front adhered to the bottom of the card, then the panel is adhered to the card base.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Sending Smiles

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set, along with dies from the Sending Dies and Harvest Dies, and the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

My design for today’s challenge is the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

The card base is Sweet Sorbet card stock.

I should have taken a picture of the tape on the Basic White panel when I taped it to color the panels, I thought of it after I pulled the tape off. I used a Blending Brush and Sweet Sorbet and Parakeet Party inks to create the blocks. The blocks are the design of the challenge. After coloring, I embossed the panel using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

Basic White card stock is used to crop a flower from Harvest Dies. Also, the Basic White Sending from the Sending Dies. The large silhouette of Sending is cropped from a piece of Basic Black card stock. The white and black are adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Both are popped on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Three dots from the Glossy Dots Assortment are popped around the card front. The card front is then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A Blending Brush and Sweet Sorbet and Parakeet Party ink are used to brush the silhouette of the flower on a panel of Basic White card stock. It was then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A Basic White medium envelope gets the same image as the card front brushed on the front of the envelope and on the flap using a Blending Brush and Sweet Sorbet and Parakeet Party inks.

A length of Faux Linen ribbon is wrapped around the art piece and tied in a know.

The inside panel is Basic White card stock with a flower matching the ones on the card front stamped in the corner.
