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!

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.

A Trucking Along Bundle Book Fold Christmas Card

I think the Book Fold might be my favorite fun fold.  It's so easy to do.  My Trucking Along Card is making great use of the Glorious Gingham 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.

The base of the card is Blueberry Bushel.  It's cut to 4 1/4 x 11.  Score it at 5 1/2 and 6 3/4.  Fold the card in half and then fold back on the next score line.  Be sure to use your Bone Folder to crease the folds.

The Glorious Gingham paper has both of the patterns shown on the card back to back.  Cut across the 6 x 6 at 4 1/8.  Then cut a strip from that at 1 1/8 and another at 4 1/8.  Add the small strip on the book part and the rest on the main part of the card front.

Tie the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the narrow area and into a bow near the center.  For a quick hint, put a glue dot under the ribbon with your first tie.  This will hold the ribbon in place so you can finish the bow.  Now glue the narrow part down making the spine of the card.

Use the Deckled Circle dies for the focal point in Basic White.  Cut 1 1/2 of them.  I did use a Sponge Dauber to add a little Pool Party color to the top area of the bottom circle.  Use the one that is 9 in from the outside of the dies.  The half circle is at the bottom and added with dimensionals.  It's really probably only about 1/3 of the circle.  For the top part, stamp the outline of the cloud stamp in Pool Party.

Stamp the truck on a separate piece of Basic White card stock.  Stamp the outline in Memento Black.  The solid filler stamp is stamped off in Blueberry Bushel.  I used one of the new Basic Black Stampin' Write Markers to fill in the tires.  Punch out the truck and add with dimensionals.

The saying is from the Beary Cute stamp set.  Stamp on a strip of Basic White with Blueberry Bushel ink.  Glue to the card.

The trees are cut from Garden Green using the Zany Zoo dies.  There are two sizes of trees in the set.  I cut about 7 sets of the trees.  I did put Adhesive Sheets on one side of the paper.  Two trees are added to the bed of the truck.  One is added with dimensionals.  The rest of the trees are added randomly as background.  They just might be a Christmas tree farm!

Finish with some snowflakes from the Adhesive-Backed Snowflake Assortment.

The saying on the inside is from the Festive and Fun stamp set.  Add a few trees as well!

What a cute card!  I hope you like it!  Thanks so much for visiting me today.  Please let me know if I can help you in any way!

Festive & Fun Fun Fold Card

Today I have one of the easiest fun folds around.  Yet, it always is a winner.  I'm using the Festive & Fun stamp set on page 13 of the September-December Mini catalog.  Those animals are so cute.  It's a great set if you love to color.  I chose to use the Watercolor Pencils Assortment 1.

For this fun fold, start with a base of Thick Basic White measuring 5 1/2 x 8 1/2.  Score at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4.  Fold the card in half and then fold back at the other score line.  Use your Bone Folder to burnish.  Score lines often are not perfect so make sure your card lines up straight.

The A Walk in the Forest Designer Paper Series is used on this card.  This pack of paper is part of Stampin' Up!'s giving back.  $3 of each purchase will help with the Toys for Tots (at my last reading) program in the US.  It does extend to other programs in our markets elsewhere.  Pick two different patterns and cut the pieces to 2 x 5 3/8.  Add one of the inside right of the card and the other on the flap.

Stamp the image on a piece of Basic White using Memento ink.  Use the Watercolor Pencils to color it in.  The Blender Pens will allow you to smooth out the coloring.  Use the Decked Rectangle dies to cut out the image.  Attach to the flap with dimensionals.  Remember that no adhesive will go on the right of the banner.

Stamp and color the beaver.  Fussy cut with your Paper Snips and add to the card.

The saying is part of the stamp set.  Stamp in Garden Green and cut apart.  Add to the card.  I used glue dots.

The saying on the inside is also from Festive & Fun.  It's in Garden Green.

Fold Back Night Divine Card

I think the O Holy Night Suite Collection on pages 14-17 truly expresses the meaning of the Christmas season.  The Night Divine bundle has a magnificent nativity.  I love the sayings in the stamp set.  Today I'm featuring the bundle along with the O Holy Night Designer Series Paper.  I have a Fold Back Fun Fold using all of these products.

 

Start with a base of Thick Basic White 5 1/2 x 7 1/2.  Score at 3 1/4 and at 6 1/2.

Fold and burnish with a Bone Folder.  The fold at 6 1/2 folds backward.

All of the patterned paper is from the O Holy Night Designer Series Paper.  It's beautiful.  The paper on the front of the card is 3 x 5 1/4.

The saying on the front is from the Night Divine stamp set.  Use an embossing buddy over the area you plan to emboss.  Stamp using Versamark.  Use white embossing powder from the Basics Embossing Powders.  Melt the powder with the Heat Tool.

Use the Copper Clay designer paper to go on the flap.  It measures 3/4 x 5 1/4.  I put another piece down the opposite side of the inside.  This is optional.  I might leave if off when I make this card again.

 

Stamp the saying in Night of Navy inside the card at the top.

Cut a circle from Night of Navy using the Stylish Shapes dies.  Use the 2 3/8 inch Circle Punch to punch circles from the Copper Clay DSP and the lighter blue stars paper.  Cut the Copper Clay circle about 1/3 across with a wavy line.  If you plan to make multiples of this card keep the remainder of the circle to use again.  Glue the ground to the sky and add the circle to the navy one.

The circle will be glued to the fold back flap only.  Decide where it will look best.  Add the glue sparingly so that it will not seep out.  Tear n Tape could also be used.  The circle will not show inside the card and can be seen on the outside as well when the card is closed.

Using the Night Divine dies cut the nativity from Night of Navy cardstock.  Cut Mary, Joseph, and the Baby from the rest of the nativity and add it to the circle.

Use the shepherd  on the inside of the card.  Cut 3 sheep and add to the card.

Embellish with the Adhesive-Backed Star Trinkets.

I appreciate your time today.  I will be making more of these cards.  They are so pretty.
