Paradise Palms Card …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I don’t know about you but I’m ready for warmer weather! The freezing rain … snow … YUK! So today I’m going to paradise! I’ve pulled out my Paradise Palms bundle and sat down to create something to transport us into visions of a tropical paradise.

I love the palm tree in the die set so that was going to be a definite part of my card …. then I decided to use the Granny Apple Green designer paper patterns from the Friendly Hello bundle, and this is what I came up with …

I used the leafy pattern as my background against a Basic Black cardbase …and wow, that really makes it pop! I die cut the floral pattern using the Stitched Rectangle die and then matted that in Basic Black as well. I attached it directly to the card front, leaving room for the palm tree.

The greeting comes from the Paradise Palm stamp set and was stamped on Basic White with the Momento Ink and then die cut with another of the Stitched Rectangle dies. I used dimensionals to pop it up.

I also used the dimensionals to pop up the top of the palm tree and then secured the bottom directly to the card front. I then added the white Elegant Faceted Gems that have the look of “Mother of Pearl” so I thought it fit perfectly with my tropical card.

This layout is so simple and fun to create with and can be used with any of your bundles and designer papers, but I just had to share a pop of color and take you to a warmer place!

Well let’s see if the warmth of this card gets me through shoveling another 3 inches of snow … lol. I am so ready to see green again, and palm trees would be even better!!

Thank you for joining me in paradise, I hope you have a wonderful day!

Fun Fold Window Card …

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’m going to share the second card from my LIVE on Tuesday …. I’m highlighting the Friendly Hello Stamp Set and Designer Paper that is in the Sale-a-bration Catalog.

Yesterday I shared the “Side Fold” version of this Fun Fold ….

Today I’m going to show you the “Top Fold” version … the inside is exactly the same! It’s just the outside card base that is either folds down from the top, or over from the side. Isn’t that cool 🙂

Measurements:  

  • Petal Pink Cardbase: 11″ x 4-1/4″ … Score & Fold at 5-1/2″
  • Friendly Hello Designer Paper for Front: 5-1/4″ x 4″
  • Use Circle Dies to Die Cut the “Window” in Front of your card (Save Designer Paper Circle)
  • Basic White Inside Cardstock: 5-1/4″ x8″ … Score at 4″ and 6″ / A scrap piece to die cut smaller circle for your stamped image.

We begin with the Petal Pink Cardbase cut to 11″ x 4-1/4″ and then score & fold at 5-1/2″. If you want to stamp directly onto your designer paper, now is the time. Using your favorite adhesive (around the edges only and NOT in the center) secure your designer paper to the front. The next step is to die cut the circle …. save both the cardstock and designer paper circles. The next step is to secure the “fun fold” into your cardbase …. the scored side will go to the right side of your card.

Put adhesive onto the back of the 5-1/4″ x 4″ section of the white folded piece and secure it inside the card. The first score (at the edge) is folded to the right and the second score if folded back upon itself…. burnish with your bone folder and close the card.

The Basic White cardstock fold is now exposed so it’s time to secure the Petal Pink circle to the fun fold …. this will be done while the top flap is down. Apply adhesive on the one section of the flap … that is why I close my card, it makes it so easy to remember exactly where to put the adhesive to attach your circle. Once you have stamped your image onto the white circle and color it, you can attach it to the pink.

If you want to add the die cut designer paper into the inside of your card like I did …. flip up the top, open the fold and then drop the top back down and one you have adhesive on your designer paper circle, fit it directly into the opening and then everything will line up perfect!

I think you are going to have so much fun making these cards… fun and easy is the way.

Thank you for hanging out with me today, have a great one!
