Pop Out Gate Fold with Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper

Today I'm sharing a Pop Out Gate Fold card using the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper from the annual catalog.  I followed the directions of Lisa Curcio.  So for this post I'm going to give her the credit and give you a link to her post and to her video.  I mean why should I make a video when hers is so easy to follow!

I love that this card can stand for display.  It looks really hard, but it's not bad at all.  It's all in cutting the base.

The base of this card is Berry Burst measuring 5 1/2 x 8.  Yes the numbers are correct.  Score on the long side at 2, 4, and 6.  Turn the paper and cut with your Paper Trimmer ONLY between the score lines made at 2 and 6.  Do this at 1 1/4 and again at 4 1/4.  If this makes no sense to you, Lisa makes it clear on her video.  Link coming!  She'll even show you how to fold the card.  I'm not even going to put that into words for you.

Here are the measurements you need.

Berry Burst cardstock 5 1/2 x 8

Masterfully Made DSP 1 7/8 x 5 3/8, cut 2

Masterfully Made DSP 1 1/8 x 1 7/8, cut 4

Masterfully Made DSP center 1 7/8 x 2 7/8

Use the Paper Florist dies to make the center focal point.  I used more paper from Masterfully Made.  One piece was used to make a stem (1/4 inch strip), 2 leaves, and the saying.  The saying is cut using the smallest Deckled Circles dies.  

The petals (2) are cut from another piece and the center from an area of the same piece.  Curl the petals a little with a Bone Folder.

The saying is from Darling Details and is stamped in Pretty Peacock.

So you are wondering where you have the inside of this card.  For this one I'm decorating the back as well.  It also adds more substance to the card.

You can write on the two side or in the center.  Your choice.  The measurements are the same, but I'll add it again.

Masterfully Made DSP 1 7/8 x 5 3/8, cut 2

Masterfully Made DSP 1 1/8 x 1 7/8, cut 4

Masterfully Made DSP center 1 7/8 x 2 7/8

Find Lisa's post here.  She even has project sheets that you can download.  Find her video here.  Don't let the looks of this card stop you.  You can do it!  I want to thank Lisa for being so willing to share with others.

Here is a card folded up and ready to put into a regular size A2 envelope.  I decorated the flap as well.

Thanks to you for your company today.  I hope you will try this card.  I really enjoyed making it and making my card my own.  We are so fortunate to have so many SU demonstrators that love to share their creations!

Night Divine and the Fractured Technique

I'm sharing my last Christmas card of the season.  The Night Divine stamp set is so wonderful.  As of this writing the stamp set, dies, and bundle are available in the US market.  The Shining Brightly Designer Series Paper that I used is no longer available for you.

The base of this card is Thick Very Vanilla 5 1/2 x 8 1/2.  Score at 4 1/4.  Burnish the fold with a Bone Folder.  

Cut a piece of Very Vanilla 4 x 5 1/4.  Run this through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine with the Snowflake Sky EF.  This folder was not available at the writing of this post but is projected to be in December 11th.  Glue this layer to the card front.

Cut a piece of designer paper.  The Shining Brightly paper is no longer there, but you have so many other choices from our beautiful papers.  This is a square 2 x 2.  Glue this paper in the top center of the card at an angle.

Cut strips of our Gold Foil at 1/4 inch.  Place a strip at one corner of the square butted up next to the side of the designer paper.  This strip should go off the end of the card.  Work around the square clock wise and add another strip.  The end of this one butts next to the strip added before and still lays along the next side of the square.  It should extend over the edge of the card.  Repeat until the paper is surrounded with the strips.  Trim the strips along the edge of the card.  I'm sure you can search YouTube for videos on this fractured technique.  I don't have one.

Add a shepherd and lamb.  The shepherd is part of the total nativity of the Night Divine dies.  Just trim him off.  Use Night of Navy scraps.

The saying is from the Night Divine stamp set.  Use an embossing buddy on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.  Stamp the saying with Versamark.  Add the gold powder from the Metallics Embossing Powders and use a Heat Tool to melt the powder.  This goes so pretty with the gold in the DSP.  Fussy cut around the saying.

The Simply Elegant Trim is not available as of now.  The projected time of arrival is January 1.  Add a little strip of Seal behind where the saying will be and add the gold trim.  I just did a few circles and pushed it into the Seal.  Hint:  add some of the Mini Dimensionals directly to the card front under where the saying will go.  That way you can avoil having a dimensional over any of the ribbon.  It will help the saying lie flatter.

Add some of the Neutral Adhesive-Backed Sequins as an embellishment.  

This is the inside of my card.  The cut out is part of the entire piece of the nativity from Night Divine dies.  Just trim away the extra.  Save it because you might just need it.  I did on the front of the card.  The saying is from Night Divine.

I still need to make Christmas cards but the end is in sight.  I hope that you are almost done as well!  I have so enjoyed the Christmas items in the September-December Mini catalog.  It will be completely gone in a few weeks.  Some items are already gone.  I encourage you to go have a look.  You could find some good deals.  As of this writing the Night Divine dies are on sale for for $24.30 in the US.

So Very Merry, An Online Exclusive

Good morning!  I have a cute card today using the So Very Merry stamp set.  If you haven't been to the Stampin' Up! Online Store lately, I urge you to do so.  Our catalogs are fantastic.  Right now we have the 2023-2034 Annual Catalog and the September-December Mini.  That mini will be going away soon.  In fact the retiring and carry over lists have already been published.  Some items are already no longer available.  There are some sale prices.  There are also products in the Online Store that can not be found in a catalog.  Go to https://www.stampinup.com/ and check out the menu.  Look at the Online Exclusives and the Kits Collection.  Check out What's New.  Search Paper Pumpkin for refills or add-ons that are available.  I digress.  Please take a look if you are interested in the So Very Merry stamp set.

This card has a base of Real Red 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4.  There is a layer of Pool Party measuring 3 3/4 x 5.  The Basic White layer is 3 1/2 x 4 3/4.  Run this layer through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder.

The paper is the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper.  This is another Online Exclusive.  The Real Red pattern is 1 x 3 1/2.  The bluish paper is cut 3/4 x 3 1/2.  Use the Basic Borders dies to cut one side of this paper.  Glue the two papers together so that the zig-zag sticks out a little.  Hint:  Pay attention to the zig and zag and try to make each end look the same.

Stamp the Santa with Memento Black ink on Basic White.  Color with blends.  These are the colors that I used:  Pool Party Combo, Read Red Combo, Crumb Cake Combo, and SU800.  Punch with the 2 3/8 Circle Punch.

The ribbon is another Online Exclusive.  It's called Real Red and Gold 3/8 Dotted Ribbon.  Cut two pieces to add under Santa.  Angle the ends.

Add the Santa with dimensionals.

The saying is from the So Very Merry set.  Stamp in Memento on a piece of Basic White.  Cut this out with the Stylish Shapes dies.  Add with dimensionals.  Cut the end over to the Pool Party.

Embellish with the Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

I chose a simple inside using a strip of the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP and a saying from Brightest Glow.

That's it!  I love how this card turned out!  I still have Christmas cards to make, but I probably only have about 30 left to make.  I've made about 100.

Bird's Eye View Gift Holder Card

I finally purchased the Bird's Eye View stamp set from the annual catalog.  All of the preparation for the holidays have gotten in the way.  I finally made my first card with this set.  It definitely won't be my last.  Those birds are just so cute.

I need to use some of my Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper so my inspiration was birds and paper.  Why not have her a song  bird?  So I added the Merry Melody Embossing Folder.

The base is 4 1/4 x 9 3/4 and score at 5 1/2.   I'm using Bubble Bath cardstock.

Cut another piece of Bubble Bath that is 4 1/8 x 4 1/8.  Run it through the Cut & Emboss Machine and glue the panel to the front of the card.

Cut a piece of the Bright & Beautiful designer paper to 1 1/8 x 4 1/8.  Glue this to the far right.  That technically is the inside of the card.

Cut another piece of the same designer paper 1 1/4 x 3 3/4.  Glue to the center of the front at an angle.

Stamp the tree branch on a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock in Early Espresso.  Cut out the branch.

Stamp leaves in Lemon Lime Twist onto Lemon Lime Twist cardstock.  I make a set of three.  Cut these out as well.

Stamp the bird in Early Espresso on a Basic White scrap.  Color it in using the Bubble Bath Combo Blends and the Light Crumb Cake blend.  Try not to go over the Early Espresso lines too much.  It really isn't the type of ink that you use with blends.  Go around the bird using a Light Pool Party blend.  Go over the outside edge with the Color Lifter to soften the lines.  I wanted to make the bird pop.  I'm wondering now if I should have used the Light Azure Afternoon blend.  It's the same color that is found in the Bright & Beautiful paper.  I feel it would be too dark.  Cut out the bird using the Deckled Circles dies.  I used the 5th circle from the inside.

Glue all of the parts on the front of the card as you would like them.

The saying is from the Sweet Songbirds stamp set.  Stamp in Azure Afternoon on a 1/2 inch scrap.

Tie a bow of Linen Thread near the branch and leaves.

Finish the front with lots of Azure Afternoon embellishments from the Tinsel Gem Four Pack.

The inside of the card has a Basic White insert that is 4 1/8 x 4 1/8.  Stamp the saying.  Stamp another leaf set and cut it out.  Stamp the bird and color with the same color blends directly on the cardstock.  Glue on the leaves.

On the far left you will use another piece of the Bright & Beautiful designer paper.  This time it is cut 2 x 4 1/8.   Use the smallest circle from the Deckled Circles dies to cut a half circle about half way across.  Add Tear & Tape around the remaining three side.  Add to the card.  You have made a place to put a gift card.

I'm beginning to think that pink just might be growing on me.  I love this card!

Thanks so much for giving me a little of your time.  I do appreciate it so much.  I want to share with you!  I am an independant Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  Let me know if you need me.

NC Demo Blog Hop - I'll Have a Pink Christmas

Welcome to the NC Stampin' Up! Demo Blog Hop for November.  Our theme is I'll Have a Pink Christmas.  I can't wait to take the hop myself.  I think this is such and interesting topic.  I'll admit.  I do not like pink!  But for some odd reason, I got excited.  I predict that great projects are there just for the clicking!  Please take the entire hop!

We were also encouraged not to use a Christmas stamp set.  I did use Brightest Glow, a set carried over from last year's mini.  Other than that, I don't have Christmas supplies.

I had a hard time with my pictures this time.  The pink does not show well.  I'm using Bubble Bath.  The base is cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score and fold at 4 1/4.

Cut a panel of Bubble Bath that is 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and run it through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder.  Glue this panel to the front of the card.

Maybe you could say I cheated a bit by using the Natural Prints dies.  They do have a wreath.  I cut two wreaths, one from the Berry Burst Soft Shimmer Paper Combo Pack and one from Bubble Bath shimmer from the same pack.  Put the Berry Burst on the bottom.  Play around with the wreaths and pull a little of the berry to the front where possible.  I didn't want the Berry Burst to be hidden.  Put the two together with glue dots here and there.   Add the two wreaths with Mini Dimensionals.

Use the Silver & White Sheer Ribbon from the mini catalog.  I colored the ribbon with a Dark Bubble Bath Blend and let it dry just a little.  Tie a bow and add with a glue dot to the bottom right of the wreath.  It looks so pretty in real life!  

Cut a deer from Thick Basic White card stock using the Grove dies.  Add over the knot of the ribbon with Mini Dimensionals.  Do not place directly over the knot.

Stamp the sentiment on Basic White in Berry Burst using Brightest Glow.  Fussy cut and add to the upper left of the wreath.

Finish with lots of the 2023-2025 In Color Dots.

I usually add a layer of Basic White on the inside of the card.  Today I decided to leave the pink.  The saying here is also from Brightest Glow and stamped in Berry Burst.

Add another white deer.

That's it.  I thank you for your visit and I hope you found a little inspiration.  For even more inspiration, is up next.
