Stampin' Up! Simple Stamping fun fold!

 

Last night I whipped up this fun card for today's post.

I was so excited, as I had just gotten my Sweet Little Valentine's Cards & More-

so I created with them!

Those of you that know me, know I am not good at coping things....

so here is an alternate card I made with this kit.

 This is the Sweet Little Valentines Card & More-

#154287= $10.00- pg. 16 in the Spring Mini Catalog.

It includes the supplies to make 10 cards.

They are note cards that are 4 1/4 x 3 1/4" when folded.

 

So I used them & made them into a traditional size card.

Just look what I did with them!

These are the 2 pieces I used.

I cut the card in half on the center line that divides them= 3 1/4 x 4 1/4".

The Petal Pink side I left at 3 1/4 x 4 1/4".

The ombre/stripped side I cut to be 2 3/4 x 4".

 I cut a piece of Melon Mambo card stock to 4 1/4 x 8 1/2"- 

scored at 5 1/2" for the card base.

And I combined the 'Happy Thoughts' stamp set with it!

This is what these pieces turned into!!

Isn't it a pretty card!

So fun & so easy!!

I just love it!

This is what it looks like when opened up.

I turned this into a totally Susie card!

So what do you think?

 

Here are the supplies & the measurements I used so that you can make this card too!

card stock:

• Melon Mambo- 4 1/4 x 8 1/2"- score at 5 1/2"

Stampin' Up!- Sending Hearts January Paper Pumpkin Alternative

I made this fun fold card that has a center latch.

 

I made another center latch card with a butterfly on it.

You can CLICK HERE TO SEE IT!

The center latch piece just slides upward.

 Here is a photo of the card opened up.

Check out the latch part.

For the patterns I made to show you here- they are made out of Basic White card stock.

But for the actual center latch part on my card I made all 

4 squares out of  Basic Black card stock.

This is how you make the latch part.

It is 4 pieces of card stock that measure 3 1/2 x 3 1/2" each. 

Two of them you score at 1 3/4" & fold in half.

Those 2 folded pieces become the sandwich (center) of the latch.

You then put a front & a back piece on them.

This is how you fold the 2 that go in the center.

They fold are back to back.

This is a close up photo of the center latch.

All of the supplies for this card are from the  

Sending Hearts January Paper Pumpkin kit, 

except for the Basic Black card stock & the Memento ink pad.

 

card stock:

• Basic Black- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 2 3/4" from both ends & fold to make a center gate fold card base
• Basic Black- 3 1/2 x 3 1/2"- for front side of latch piece
• Basic Black- 3 1/2 x 3 1/2"- for back side of latch piece
• Basic Black- 
  

designer paper:  This is actually one of the cards in the kit that I cut into 4 x 2 1/2" pieces (x2)

ink:  Memento

Check out all of the supplies that are in this 

Sending Hearts January Paper Pumpkin Kit.

It contains supplies to make 8 cards with matching envelopes.

Plus you'll have left over pieces to create whatever else you want to with them.

The Ink Spot is the color- Poppy Parade.

 I hope you have a SUPER Sunday!!

Stampin' Up! Lots of Heart Bundle

 

Oh my gosh!

Have you noticed the awesome Many Hearts Dies on page 15 in the Spring Mini Catalog?

I LOVE them!

This Lots of Heart Bundle is just great!

Check it out- there are 15 different dies & 11 stamp images!

 I think this heart card is a great all occasion card.

Yes- it would work for Valentines, a wedding, thank you, birthday, get well, etc.

 

How did I cut the DSP?

 I took a piece of 6x6" DSP & cut it apart.

Here is a pattern I made so that you could see how I did it.

 #1.  Cut it at a diagonal like this.

#2.  HOLDING IT TOGETHER- ROTATE IT!

#3.  And then cut it again like this.

You now have 4 evenly shaped pieces to add to your card front.

 When you add the DSP to the card front it looks like this.

TIPS:  When you put on the DSP to your card front, line up the top left corner & the left edge.

 

Here are the supplies & the measurements that I used so that you can make this card too.

stamp set:  'Lots of Hearts'

card stock:

    *Thick Basic White-  5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base

    *Rococco Rose- 4 x 5 1/4"

    *Rococco Rose- 2" strip- die cut dotted stitched heart

    *Basic White-3 3/4 x 5"- for outside of card- stamp words along the bottom right corner

    *Basic White- 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card

    *Basic White- 3 1/2" strip- die cut heart

    *Basic White- 2 3/4" strip- stamp heart & die cut

    *Basic White- 5 1/2' strip- die cut the outline hearts & use the solid center hearts for the card front, layering this into the center of the Rococco Rose hearts

Stampin' Up! A Touch of Ink fun fold!

WOW- check it out!
This is a fun fold card that I made earlier this month, for a swap that

I did with some of my demonstrator friends from different states. 

 

Just look at the awesome stitching around the butterfly.

I did that by using the NEW Stitched Whimsy Dies on page 72 in the Spring Mini Catalog.

The butterfly & words are from the 'A Touch of Ink' stamp set that is a

Sale-a-bration choice that you can get for FREE with a $100 product order.

 

And the polk-a-dot DSP is from the Flower & Field Designer Paper

that is also a Sale-a-bration choice that you can get for FREE with a $50 product order.

 

The card fold is a traditional center gate fold.

BUT the butterfly piece is made to slide on & off!

This is what it looks like when I'm sliding the center piece off.

This is kind of like a belly band, but it is easier & just really cool!

It is really just a "latch", to hold the card center together.

 This is what it looks like when the card is opened up! 

AND then-

Check out how I made the center latch part!

Here are photos of the pieces I made as 'patterns' for you to see how I made it. 

You will need-

• 4 pieces of card stock that all measure 3 1/2 x 3 1/2".
• 2 of those pieces will be scored down the center at 1 3/4" & then folded in half.
• With the other 2 pieces- one will be the back & one will be the front. 
• You will sandwich the center 2 folded pieces between the front piece & the back piece.
• The folded edges of the 2 center pieces will butt up to each other in the center.

 I hope with this side view photo of the latch piece you can see how I assembled it.

Here is how you use all 4 pieces of card stock that measure 3 1/2 x 3 1/2" each.

• Front- 1 black piece 
• Center- 2 white pieces- that are folded in half & the folds meet in the center of the 'sandwich'. 
• Back-- 1 black piece

BE SURE YOU stick it together securely with glue or seal plus, so that it doesn't pull apart.

I just love black & yellow butterflies- they are my favorite!

I added the Wink of Stella over the butterfly, 

although I don't think you can tell that by looking at the photos.

But in person it sure adds that extra sparkle!

 

Here are the supplies & measurements I used to make this card.

 

stamp set:  'A Touch of Ink'- FREE Sale-a-bration choice with a $100 product order

card stock:

• Basic Black- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 2 3/4" from both ends & fold to make a center gate fold card base

Stampin' Up! Sweet Ice Cream Bundle

 You all know I'm a punch girl!!

So I was super excited to see this new Sweet Ice Cream Bundle in the Spring Mini.

It is on page 49- so check it out!

Look at my ice cream.

See hot it is textured.

I used the So Ombre Sale-a-bration DSP, punched it out with the 

Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch & embossed it using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

One side of this DSP piece is the Rococco Rose (pink ombre)

& the other side is the Bermuda Bay (blue ombre).

So with this same piece of DSP you can make them both pink or blue!

 This coordinating Ice Cream Corner DSP is awesome!

The stripes & the cone are both from this DSP.

 This is the same card.....but I used different words from this stamp set.

So that is cool too that you can use it for multiple occasions.
