more color mondays – real red, timid tiger, and lemon lolly

Today’s More Color Mondays color challenge features a SNEAK PEAK debuting with tomorrow’s New Catalog release of the May – August 2026 catalog.

This Tuck and Reveal Fun Fold card is filled with color and contrast! The Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper builds color on this easy fun fold and the Black and White stamped and punched out butterflies from the All Aflutter Punch Bundle provide fun and easy contrast.

Measurements:
BASE: Real Red CS: 4 1/4″ x11″ scored at 5 1/2″
cut at 2 1/2″ from the card front, 3″ x 4 1/4″,
2 1/4″ square
Timid Tiger CS: 2 7/8″ x 4 1/8″
Lemon Lolly CS: 2 3/4″ x 4″, scrap for large
banner die from Stylish Shapes
DSP: 2 1/4″ 4″, 2 5/8″ x 3 7/8″, 2″ square
Basic White CS: scrap for punch, 4″ x 5 1/4″

Score your 4 1/4″ x 11″ Real Red cardstock at 5 1/2″ then cut 3″ off the front side of the card.

Save the cut portion for the front flap piece.

Adhere the 2 1/4″ x 4″ DSP layer top the front flap.
Take the 3″ piece cut off the card front and layer the Timid Tiger CS piece to the Real Red piece. Then adhere the Lemon Lolly CS layer to the Timid Tiger layer. Then adhere the 2 5/8″ DSP layer to the Lemon Lolly piece.
Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer to the inside of the card.
Cut the 2 1/4″ Real red square in half diagonally and then 2″ DSP square in half diagonally as well. Adhere the DSP triangle to the Real red triangle.

Cut the larger Banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies set from the Lemon Lolly scrap.

Take a Basic White scrap and stamp the butterfly detail stamp twice from the All Aflutter in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and punch out the three butterfly arrays.

Turn over the DSP triangle and glue the bottom and side edges with thin strips of glue.
Adhere the DSP triangle to the lower right hand corner of the inside of the card. Allow to dry.
Lay the multi-layered DSP piece under the open triangle piece “tucked under” and then position the layer so it is evenly spaced on the card front.
Tear a 3M sticky note in half and stick the note right to the right edge of the front flap marking the area where the flap ends. TIP: Once you remove the DSP layer and turn over this piece – the sticky notes will indicate where it is safe to place the adhesive!
Now turn over that layer and place adhesive from the edge of the layer up to the sticky note line.
Turn the layer back over the line up the sticky notes to the edge of the front panel and then rub the area of adhesive to burnish the adhesive to the flap.
Remove the sticky notes. Now your cross flap is attached! This layer can now be tucked under the triangular piece to secure the card closed!
Tuck the cross flap under the triangle and then you can place the sentiment piece where it will not interfere with the tuck mechanism.

Pop up the sentiment banner and place on the cross flap.

Add your black and white punched butterflies to the card – I added three around the sentiment to the left and one on the triangle to the right!

I finished the card off the Lemon Lolly Array of Dots embellishments.

This is a very fun interactive fun fold – try the Tuck and Reveal fun fold with your stash – now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Remember this is a SNEAK PEAK of tomorrow’s new catalog debut so the sneak peak items will not be listed in the photo links below because the catalog is not live to customers until tomorrow!

Happy Stampin’,
