A fun fold with Snowflakes using Knit Together

 

Here is a fun fold card, called a book binding fold- using the

'Knit Together' Bundle #156454= $45.75 in the Holiday Catalog on page 34.

 

See how it opens up like a book! 

And it looks like this when opened.

Notice how I decorated the inside of the card with some of the pieces I die cut out of the front.

 

I used my Stamparatus to stamp this 3 3/4 x 3 3/4" Misty Moonlight CS square,

using the 'Knit Together' stamp set.

I used the Knit Sweater Dies & cut the card stock square

 into pieces like shown above.

NOTE:  Make sure you stamp your sweater image first & then die cut.

You will want to be sure your dies are straight.

 I lined mine up so that they had the same pattern centered on all of them.

SEE how I drew little lines onto my snowflake die strip- so I could keep 

both the top & bottom snowflake strips cut out in the same pattern!

 

I then adhered these 3 separate pieces to a 4 x 4" Basic White card stock square.

 When adhering it I stuck down the top piece, the bottom piece & then

the middle piece- making sure I had even spacing on all sides.

So what do you think?

This is a fun bundle with lots of possibilities when creating with it.

 

Here are the supplies & measurements:

stamp set:  'Knit Together' & 'Words of Cheer' (for words)

cardstock:

• Misty Moonlight- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 4 1/4 & 5 1/2" for card base
  
• Basic White- 4 x 4"- for outside layer of card
  
• Might Moonlight- 3 3/4 x 3 3/4"- stamp sweater image onto this & die cut it as shown
  
• Basic White- 2 1/4" strip- stamp words & die cut with small Hippo Die
  
• Basic White- 4 x 4"- for inside of card
  

designer paper:  2020-2022 In Color Designer Paper- 1 x 4"

ink:  Misty Moonlight
other:  Stamparatus; Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine; Knit Sweater Dies; Hippo Dies; Basic Rhinestones; White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!

Happy Stamping!

Cutest Halloween Suite- 3 weeks to Halloween Countdown!

 

 

Today is my 3 weeks to Halloween Countdown!!

Check out this CUTE Spanner Panel card.

I used the Cute Halloween DSP!

The front panel of the card flips up like this!

 

And then this is what it looks like when you flip up the center panel.

This is what it looks like when it is completely opened up!

Here is the pattern on how I cut it! 

• 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- card base, score at 4 1/4" (in half)  

• Cut 1 1/4" from both sides of card front to center 4 1/4" mark as shown.

• You'll need 2 of the 1 x 5 1/2" strips for this card layout too!

So what do you think?

There is no punch for these skull images, so I used my scissors to cut them out.

Here are the supplies & measurements:

stamp set:  'Cutest Halloween' (words)

card stock:

• Basic Black- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base.  Now cut 1 1/4" on both sides of the card front piece as shown above in my pattern
• Highland Heather- 1 x 5 1/2"- you'll need 2 of these, as one will have words stamped onto it & adhered to the card front as shown.  The other one will be put on the inside card front & adhered directly onto the back side of the front one.  You are doing this so that it makes this panel more sturdy.
• Basic White- 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card.  You'll adhered 2 strips of DSP directly over this, along the outside edges of this.
  

designer paper:  Cute Halloween DSP- 1 x 4" (X4).  You'll need 2 of these for the outside edges of the card front & 2 of these for the outside edges of the inside card piece.

ink:  Memento

other:  Black & White Gingham Ribbon; Black Matte Dots; dimensionals; scissors
