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,

One Card Two Ways

One Card Two Ways.....and a little more news at the end

Hi Everybody! Today I made One card Two ways using two different embossing folders. The Tufted Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder are featured for this card. I've used some retired paper and ribbon for this project; however any color card stock and ribbon would look great with this technique.

Cut paper for card base. 8 1.5 x 5 1/2

Fold in half. 4 1/4 x 5 1/2

Cut layer of same color. 5 1/4 x 4

Pick your folder and run through Big Shot.

Using the Swirly Bird Stamp Set, stamp the solid circle on whisper white card stock,

then stamp your sentiment over the top.

Next, stamp flowers and leaves from the same set.

Run your sentiment through the Big Shot using a Stitched Circle.

Next run a Scalloped Circle a little larger then the Stitched Circle through the Big Shot,

in the same color as your card base.

Now run your flowers through the Big Shot using the coordinating framelits.

Sponge your scalloped circles, to give them dimension, in a slightly darker color.

Glue circles together. Also glue the flowers and leaves on the circles.

Put ribbon around the card layer and tape to the back, add dimensionals.

Adhere to card base.

Add your circles and add more ribbon and enamel dots, or whatever "Bling" you would like,

to finish up this lovely card.

A little update on my granddaughter: She is now three months old and safely home enjoying her mommy and daddy! She has grown to 6lbs 3oz and 18.5" long! That's quite a ways from where she started, (2lb 3oz and 14.5" long). We are so blessed to have her and her momma safe and healthy.
