Triangle Fun Fold Cards - video tutorial

These Triangle Fun Fold cards are really fun to make - and you can make two at the same time.  They work great with almost any Designer paper  - and I love the large text from the Biggest Wish stamp set to finish the card.  So many "mix and match" greetings.

Here's a video tutorial for making these cards.   (If you are viewing this in your email or on a mobile device  - you may need to click on the title to load the video.)


This set of cards was made using the host exclusive pack of Designer Series Paper, Patterned Party, from the 2021-22 Annual Catalog.  You can choose this if your order (or a party order) totals at least $150.

For these cards I used the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series paper (from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.)

I hope you will give this fun fold card a try!  CONTACT ME if you have any questions.

Christmas Countdown - 10 weeks until Christmas

 In ten short weeks it will be Christmas Eve.  Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?  Have you purchased or made your holiday cards?  I have some ideas to help you with both of these tasks.

If you like to send a family photo with your Christmas Cards - the JOY OF SHARING card kit is PERFECT for you.  If you don't include a photo - this kit will work for you as well!   And as of today this item is on the CLEARANCE RACK at 40% off the original price.  This kit is perfect for new crafters, busy crafters, or crafters on the go.

This kit includes the supplies shown above, including the 7 piece Joy of Sharing photopolyer stamp set.  The kit makes 15 traditional or photo cards; card size is 5" x 7".  Stampin' Up! colors in this kit include Bumblebee, Early Espresson, gold foil, Granny Apply Green, Mossy Meadow, Real Red, Soft Suede, and white.  Original price of this kit was $35 - but it is now on the Clearance Rack, while supplies last, for only $21.  

Click on any image above for more details - or to add it to your shopping bag.


Another item on the Clearance Rack - and I'm SHOCKED that is is still available - is the GORGEOUS POSIES CARD KIT shown below.  This would make a great gift for a crafty friend.  Or you could purchase the kit, make the cards, and give the completed set of cards as a gift.  This kit is 60% off - and only $12.80   WOW!  What a deal!


This kit makes 16 cards, 4 each of 4 designs.  The kit does NOT include a stamp set, but any stamp set with similar sized sentiments could be substituted.  The GORGEOUS flowers are pre-stamped on the card base. The cards are 4 -1/4" x 5-1/2" and this kit includes a nice designer storage box for the completed cards.  The Stampin' Up! colors in this kit are Blackberry Bliss, Brushing Bride, gold, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Mint Macaron, Purple Posy, Shaded Spruce, Soft Sea Foam and white.

Stamparatus Tip

 

In this video, I show you how I stamped several die cut images quickly and with a perfect edge surrounding the image! 

(If you are viewing this in your email or on a mobile device  - you may need to click on the title to load the video.)

I needed to make 10 cards for a card SWAP that I am participating in with other Stampin' Up! demonstrators.  Here are the finished cards.  They are a little bit different from the one I showed in the video.



Basic Directions for making this card:

Mint Macaron card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2
Basic White layer: 4 x 5-1/4
Top piece of designer paper: 2-1/2 x 5
Bottom piece of designer paper: 1-1/4 x 5

Glue the two pieces of designer paper to the Basic White layer, leaving a 1/8" border all around.  Wrap ribbon around the card where the two pieces of designer paper meet - and tie a knot.  Adhere the layer to the card front.  Attach the snowman die cut piece to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.



The card below does not have the Basic White layer.  The designer paper layers are 2-5/8 x 5-1/4 (top) and 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 (bottom.)  I did not use ribbon on this card.



The card below uses the same layers/pieces as the first card - but I tied a bow in the ribbon (vs a knot) and I did not attach a snowman to the card.

If you have any questions about how to make the cards, please do not hesitate to CONTACT ME.

CLICK HERE  to see 12 more cards that I made using the Snow Wonder stamp set.  I made these cards last Christmas - so some of the products are retired and no longer available.  But I hope they show you how versitile this stamp set and dies can be!
