Technique Tuesday: Fun Fold

Today I have a fun fold card technique.

What's the name of this fold? I learnt how to do this fold from my upline, Linda Owens. I have searched and searched and can not find the name of it. So, I am having a contest to name this fold! Leave a message below or on my facebook business page, and I will pick the most creative name for the fold and send you a message letting you know that you won. Your prize will be a sample package of DSP, cut 6x6!

On to the projects!

This literally is a small card on top of a card stock base. The base is 5 1/2"x 4 1/4". On this card there is a layer of 5 1/4"x 4" the "small card" measuring at 8 1/2"x 3 1/4", scored at 4 1/4". A layer of dsp cut at 4"x 3", and is then adhered on top of that base. I then tied Braided Linen Trim around the card.

The lovely All my Love DSP is used on the small card. I used the retired stamp set, Bloomin' Love for the design on the base. I then stamped a Stitched Oval with Country Home stamp set. The hearts are from the Retired Mini Treat Bag Thinlits.

I know this is a Valentines Card, (the one I gave to my husband), but I did want to share the technique with you.

This card is also made with the All my Love DSP. I used the Lovely Lipstick Foil sheet to create the heart. After cutting it out I ran it through the Big Shot in the Tufted Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and sprinkles a few pearls on for bling! I stamped with the Retired stamp set as above.

Here I have placed the "small card" in the center of the base. I like it, even though it is not a "stand up" card. I have used the Wood Textured and Floral Romance DSP on the base and "small card". I then stamped on a Stitched Circle with the Home to Roost stamp set.

Again I used the Home to Roost stamp set, isn't he darling? I made this card with the base being upright instead of sideways. For the background on the base, I used the retired Ghoulish Grunge stamp set. Floral Romance DSP and Whisper White Flax Ribbon adorn this card. I colored Mr. Rooster with our Stampin' Blends and love the look!

I hope you enjoyed this technique. Don't forget to name this Fun Fold and get a chance to receive the prize of a sample package of 6"x 6" DSP.

Thanks for coming by,

Musing Mondays-2 Very Different Cards

Good Morning Stampers!

I was cleaning up my craft room and came across some left over pieces from past projects. I paired some up for the two following cards. They can't be more different from one another, but that is how it goes with left overs!

Here is a sneak peek:

See what I mean! 😊

The first card is really Fall-ish, but I love this stamp set! Country Home is a lovely stamp set with warm welcoming images and words. The Natures Poem DSP goes so well with the image of the milk can and cotton. I think it's just beautiful. I used water color pencils to color in the image and then went over it with Wink of Stella, instead of water, to give it a shimmer. I layered that on left over Crumb Cake card stock. I glued the dsp to the Blackberry Bliss card base, then glued my Crumb Cake layer on top. I am not sure where the word "grateful" came from, that is also one of the "left overs" I was referring to. But I believe it is from one of our retired stamp sets.

Here is the finished card.

The next card has many elements. I used Flirty Flamingo card stock for the card base as well as the layer I had run through the Big Shot with the Tuffed Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder.

I layered up Lovely Lipstick and Whisper White card stock and glued it to the card base. I then glued a layer of All My Love DSP and topped it off with the embossing piece of card stock. I put on a darling little bow of Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon. I had run the retired word, LOVE, through the Big Shot, I first adhered a piece of Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet to the back. I found two Scalloped Circles cut out from the dsp and Glitter Paper. I popped them up with Dimensionals, and added some pearls.

Here is the finished card:

Isn't it great what you can come up with when you go through your left overs!

I hope you like today's cards!

Technique Tuesday: Smooching

Smooching

I am trying a new thing here. I want to start having a purposeful blog with some order. So I am going to start doing "theme" days.

Monday Musings

Technique Tuesdays

In the Word Wednesdays

Throwback Thursdays

Embossing Folder Fridays

Saturday Shares

Today is Technique Tuesday and I am going to show you how I do this technique.

Make a pocket using a ziplock baggie. Cut three sides off the bag, leaving it attached on one side.
