Peaceful Garden Fancy Fold Card

Posted on by

This is a card I made for a recent card swap. The pretty paper is called Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper. I matched it up with the Peace on Earth dies.

Aren’t those little die cut envelopes cute? The sentiment is from the Notes and Totes stamp set. I used the new Black and White and Gold baker’s twine for a touch of elegance.

There is a pop up surprise inside…

I don’t know what the name of this type of pop up card would be. It’s quite small and triangular.

I glued on a stamped dove from the Peaceful Days stamp set to the pop up middle .

I added some extra stamped flowers too. These flowers match the DSP ones on the front.

Card with detachable bookmark

Here’s an easy card to make that has a wow factor despite its simplicity.

Open it up to find it’s a card and a gift in one. It has a detachable bookmark.

This is made using the perforation wheel attachment on the Take Your Pick tool by Stampin’ Up!

You can see all the measurements and products I used in this video below.

Friendly Fins Wiper Card

This was a fun fold to do. My grandkids loved it.

It uses the Friendly Fins bundle, which has many fish images including some I haven’t used like a happy stingray. I also stamped the back of the card.

When you hold the card at the front and pull the sides, a wiper arm pops up to reveal a jumping dolphin!

Faux Stepper Card

This is the easiest stepper card I have ever made. The base is folded to resemble a lopsided letter M and then a second piece is glued on to provide the focal “stepped up” piece.

I used the popular Perennial Lavender Designer series paper to decorate the step and centre piece. The dies are from the same Perennial Lavender suite and are still available for purchase on Stampin’ Up’s! Last Chance list.

The paper butterfly accents are another favourite. They come plain white and I used our blending brushes to add colour. I love they way they turned out.

Citrus Blooms

I was teaching some classes this week using the Citrus Blooms bundle. Such pretty paper makes both cardmaking and scrapbooking easy. I used some left over bits to make this joy fold card. The Night of Navy card base is 29.6 cm x 10.5 cm and is scored at 7.5 cm and 14.9 cm.

The front has lemons which are fussy cut. I had some extra lemons at the edge of my paper so I added a third to the bunch I had already cut out. I mounted them on dimensionals and adhered them to a piece of white card. The white card measures 10.5 x 7 cm and is embossed with the distressed tile embossing folder. I stamped the word hello before I embossed the card.

The white insert piece that reads, “Just checking in”, measures the same as the front navy piece with the lemons on. (12 x 8.5 cm). I matted my front navy piece with silver card as I wanted to match the striped piece of retired DSP that I used inside. I can’t remember the name of the DSP, it was in a Christmas pack about 5 years ago.

Fresh as a Daisy

This was a fun card to make. It has a detachable bookmark with it. To make the bookmark, I cut my base card to 14.9 x 26 cm. I used the Take Your Pick tool attachment with the perforating wheel to rule 5 cm off the side. I folded the perforated panel in and folded the card in half. I used the Fresh as a Daisy designer series paper to decorate the front. The sending word and birthday wishes are from the Sending Smiles bundle.

Do you like the white embossed border on the front? It is Vellum. It makes a great border as it is a much softer look than it would have been had I used white cardstock. With such a bust front to this card, I felt it needed something more subtle in the background and the vellum worked perfectly.

Inside the card, you can see the bookmark, folded inwards. It is decorated with another piece of DSP from the “Fresh As A Daisy” paper pack.

Here is the inside of the card with the bookmark folded out. You will see the perforations that you can tear or cut along to remove the bookmark from the card.

Let’s go Fishing Card

This is called a Joyfold card. It was one made for a recent class. We used Let’s go Fishing designer series paper (DSP).

The paper has great fish images which we fussy cut out to use as our focal point. We placed them on a dry embossed background made by swiping the embossing folder with Boho blue ink before rolling it through the Stamp and Cut Emboss machine.

This is a great technique to use with embossing folders as it really highlights the textures.

The joyfold card is tucked under the sentiment circle at the left hand side to close. When it opens you have plenty of space to write inside.

Angled Gatefold Card

I made this cute gatefold using some of the new Incolours and the Fresh as a Daisy designer series paper (DSP).

I didn’t have the coordinating Cheerful Daisy dies so I used a retired Daisy punch instead as the focal piece on my belly band. I used in colour glossy dots embellishments and emulated the look on the centre of my daisy flower, using Wink of Stella and Fine Tip Glue.

Inside the card, I used the flowers from the Hello Ladybug stamp set and Bubble Bath ink. They worked beautifully. The sentiment is from the Layering Leaves stamp set.
