Pretty Pleats Fun Fold Using the Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper

Hello to you today!  The Pretty Pleats Fun Fold was designed by Sue Campfield.  She has a video and I will add the link to it here.  Sue is a gifted card designer.  I'm not going to make another video when you can see the original.

I have designed my cards for today using Sue's cards as a guide.

The pleats are on the inside of the card.  My base is Thick Basic White cut 4 1/4 x 11.  Score and fold at 5 1/2.  The paper is from the Softly Stippled  Designer Series Paper.  This paper is free with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration.   It's goin on now!  Cut a piece that is 4  x 5 1/4 for the front of the cards.

The cut outs on both of these cards are from the Stippled Roses dies.  Cut them from Pool Party.  I don't know which I like best.  What ab0ut you?

The white layer is cut using the Perennial Postage dies.  Add to the center of the card front with dimensionals.  Cut the flowers from the Softly Stippled papers and glue to the panel.  The saying for these cards is from the Heartfelt Hexagons stamp set inked in Pebbled Path.  Just stamp on a white scrap and fussy cut around them.

Here is the inside of the card.  The designer paper is cut 4 x 12.  You will score at 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.  Fold back from one of the end pieces and then simply zig zag.  Make sure that your papers are staying straight.  Score with your Bone Folder really well.

Here is an open card and one that is almost closed.

For the inside back panel, cut a piece of Basic White using the Perennial Postage dies.  Stamp using the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in Pebbled Path.   Glue to the back and then add more flowers from the designer paper at the bottom.

To complete the inside, cut 3 of the small squares from white using the Perennial Postage dies.  Cut flowers from the designer paper again.  You might have to alter the flowers a bit by cutting off a leaf here and there or whatever you need.  Each of the flowers are a little different.  Glue to the pleats  at varying heights.  Put glue only on the left side of the panels.

I think that's all I need to say.  Look at Sue's video and you'll get all of the little details.

Thanks for paying me a visit!  I appreciate it.  I do have the new catalogs.  If you don't already have a demonstrator, I'm happy to send them to you.  Thanks also to Sue Campfield who is so generous to share her fun folds with us.

Luv 2 Stamp Blog Hop August 2023

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2023 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you again for the third year. This year we are shaking things up and bringing you all new monthly themes to inspire your next project!

Once you are done with each post, scroll down to the bottom and you will see a list of Blog Hop participants, you can click on their name to go to their post, or you can click the next button to go to the next post in line. Happy crafting!

This month’s theme is Fun Fold.

 

From the outside of this card, you'll notice that it's quite ordinary.  The inside is the focus of this card.  I'm using the Pop-Up Vase Fun Fold.  Here is my card.

 

My base is Lost Lagoon 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored and folded at 4 1/4.  In the center I have  a rectangle using the Scalloped Contours dies in Basic White.  It's the third die in.  My flowers and leaves are from the Darling Details stamp set and dies (bundle).  Stamp everything on Basic White.  The flowers are stamped in Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, and Pretty Peacock.  The leaves are in Lost Lagoon.  This is a 2 step stamp.  The detail outside of the flowers are stamped.  For the inside, stamp off your stamp.  This set is actually easy to match up since it is made in photopolymer.

 

Here is the inside of the card.  As you open the card the vase becomes 3 dimensional.  Fill it with more flowers to make a really striking card.

 

I have two pieces of Lost Lagoon cut to 4 x 5 1/4.  These are both embossed using the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder.  In the video I use the brand new Distressed Tile Embossing Folder.  Add one to each side of the inside of the card.  On the right add another Basic White rectangle to the center and use the saying from the So Sincere stamp set stamped in Pretty Peacock.  That stamp set is also brand new.  The Distressed Tile EF and the So Sincere stamp set will be available to everyone on September 6th!

 

For the vase, you'll need the following.  I'm just going to include what is needed for the front of the card as well.  All flowers and leaves are stamped on Basic White cardstock. 

3 large flowers in Crushed Curry

3 large flowers in Cherry Cobbler

5 small flowers in Pretty Peacock   

4 of the leaves cut into two parts, one leaf and 2 leaves in Lost Lagoon. 

Basic Pearls are used as embellishments.  I apologize that the pearls are retired.  Please consider the Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels.  (Pictures already made and edited.)  In the video I color some of the Classic Matte Dots with a Dark Pretty Peacock Blend.  They did end up looking closer to Lost Lagoon in color, but that's fine.

 

 

It's really hard to describe how to make this card in words.  Pictures are so much better.  So from here I'll play the video for you.  If you want more help search for Pop-Up Vase Card on Pinterest for lots of additional ideas.  

 

 

For the vase you will need a piece of Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper cut to 2 1/4 x 5.  Score at 1 inch from each side.   The ends of the paper (scored off) are then scored at 3/4 down to the score line at each end.  Turn the paper and score again.  Each end will then have the end pieces scored in 3 even sections.  Trim on each score line down to the one inch line.  On the right cut off the center piece.  Two pieces will extend.  On the left trim off the two outside pieces leaving only the one in the center.

 

Additional paper needed is a piece of Lost Lagoon 5/8 x 3 7/8 and scored at 3/8.

You'll also need another paper  of any color 1/2 x 2.

 

I'm not even going to try to put this into words.  It's a pretty neat mechanism though.  Have some tear & tape handy.

 

As you are adding flowers and leaves close the card to make sure they stay inside the card.

 

 

Again, watch the video!!!  I really had a sense of accomplishment when I finished this card.  Thanks so much for joining the Luv 2 Stamp Blog Hop today.  I hope that you'll visit everyone.  We all LOVE fun folds!  Don't forget to come back and see me as well!

Design a Daydream Designer Series Paper Host Fun Fold Card

The Design a Daydream Designer Series Paper is way in the back of the annual catalog.  It's one of the items available if you have Host dollars to spend.  You earn Host benefits by spending at least $150.  This paper is a great value.  There are 48 sheets of 12 x 12 double sided paper.  That's 4 each of 12 designs.  WOW!  With all that paper you need a card that uses it well.  Here is my card for today.

Start with a base of Blackberry Bliss cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

Cut your designer paper to 5 1/4 x 5 3/4, score at 1 3/4.  Fold the short fold toward the inside of the card front.  That's all there is to the fold!  So easy.

You will need another piece of Blackberry Bliss measuring 4 by 5 1/2.  Score this at 2 3/4 and fold.  This piece will be added to the center of the card base with the fold to the right.  That's the opposite of our usual fold.  Make sure the designer paper fold is open for this.

For the outside of the Blackberry insert cut a rectangle using the Scalloped Rectangles dies.  Use the third smallest.  Use Old Olive.  Add another piece of patterned paper that measures 1 7/8 x 3 1/4.  

The saying is from the Cottage Rose stamp set.  Stamp it in Versamark on a Blackberry Bliss scrap and then emboss using the white embossing powder from the Basics Embossing Powder collection.  Cut this out using the Stylish Shapes dies.  Add a little Stampin' Seal under where your label will be.  Add some of the Linen Thread there using the Seal to stick it down.  Add dimensionals to the ends so that they will not be on top of the thread and add the label.  Mine sticks out over the front, but you can place it anywhere you like.

Embellish with the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

For the inside add another rectangle cut in Basic White.

I appreciate your time today.  I hope you'll try this easy fold.

I do send a group of tutorials out each month to customers who purchase $50 from me.  Usually there are around 25 made up from different demonstrators.

Punches and Dies in Red, White, Blue, and Green

Good morning.  My first thought was that I wanted to make a card to celebrate July the 4th, but I would just use red, white, and blue.  Of course my mind went to flowers.  You must have green with flowers, right.  So I love my card, but it doesn't cry out July the 4th.  It's the thought that counts, I hope. Here is my card.

Start with a base of Starry Sky that is 4 1/4 x 11.  Score and fold at 5 1/2.  Run another piece of Starry Sky through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Hive 3D Embossing Buddy.  This paper measures 4 x 5 1/4.  Glue down to the base.

Most of my images are punched or cut from the 2022-2024 In Color 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper Stack.

The bottle is punched from Orchid Oasis  using the Vintage Bottle Punch.  Add with dimensionals.

The leaves are punched from Parakeet Party using the Bough Punch.  Parts of them are added with mini dimensionals and parts are glued down.

The flower blossoms are cut using the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Hippo dies.  These dies are part of the free Sale-a-Bration items that can be earned with purchase.  The flowers were added with glue.  You could use glue dots.

Embellish with the Heart Pearls.

The sentiment is stamped using the Cottage Rose stamp set.  Stamp on a white scrap in Starry Sky ink.  Cut using the Stylish Shapes dies.  Run some of the White Seam Binding around the card and adhere to the bottle so that the tag will cover the ends.  Add the tag with a mini dimensional on those end corners.  Tie a bow with the seam binding and put in place with a rolled up glue dot.

For the inside, the words are again from Cottage Rose.  I used some left overs to add just a little stem and flower.  I think that looks cute.

I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July week.  Maybe you'll have some time to stamp!  Our granddaughters are coming to spend 4 days with us this week!  Can't wait!

Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper and a 6 x 6 One Sheet Wonder

For my Facebook Live this week I used the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper cut to 6 x 6.  I showed how to cut this down to make 4 different cards.  I love these cards!  It's a perfect time because selected packs of Designer Series Paper are 15% off through August 2nd.  The Hand-Penned paper is one of them.  I'll have more on this at the end of the post.  Here are the cards we made.

So I did start with a piece of 6 x 6.  Here are all of the pieces.

I'm going to put the video here and below are all of the measurements and more pictures.

 

Cut the 6 x 6 into 4 pieces that are 3 x 3.

One of the 3 x 3 is used as is.

Cut the second 3 x 3 in half to make 2 pieces of 1 1/2 x 3.  Pay attention to direction if that matters.

Cut the third 3 x 3 into three pieces that are 1 x 3.  Pat attention to direction if that matters.

Cut the fourth 3 x 3 piece into 4 pieces that are 1 1/2 x 1 1/2.

Since my pieces did have a direction, I tried to place them so that the pattern of the paper continued.

 

To frame these in black I cut these measurements.

First square is a piece of 3 1/8 x 3 1/8.

The second has 2 pieces of 1 5/8 x 3 1/8.

The third has 3 pieces of 1 1/8 x 3 1/8.

The fourth piece has 4 pieces of 1 5/8 x 1 5/8.

Additional supplies used are the Tailor Made Tags dies, Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder, Highland Heather card stock at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and folded for the base and another piece at 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, embossed, Basic Black card stock, Basic White card stock, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Hand-Penned Petals stamp set, Highland Heather and Mint Macaron ink pads, dimensionals, glue.

Thanks for reading my post today.  I hope you found something that you can use in your own stamping.

As a reward for a $50 purchase I will email you a compilation of around 20 tutorials by different demonstrators around the US.  You'll see lots of stamp sets and bundles featured with lots of styles from these demos.  These will be emailed after the 20th of the month.  These are quality tutorials!  Please use the Host Code FK6QGM3W if your order is under $150.
