At first when you see the Bright and Beautiful Suite Collection and the stamp set – all you might see if balloons and birthday celebration cards – but I urge you to look again and look beyond!
This easy fun fold today uses no balloons – still a celebration card but no birthday vibes in this card! I opted to use the Good Feelings set for the sentiment but could have easily used a few in the Beautiful Balloons stamp set to achieve the same effect!
Measurements:
Base: Boho Blue CS: 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Bright and Beautiful DSP (2) 3″ x 4″ pieces
extra scrap of both colors for the star cut outs.
and a Basic White scrap for the largest square die cut from the Stylish Shapes die set.
Die cut the largest square and stamp the Hip Hip Hooray from the Good Feelings stamp set in Boho Blue ink and then color with a Blending Brush and more Boho ink.
Cut the two DSP 3″ x 4″ pieces and score at one inch if there is a pattern make sure that the pattern will be right side up and score 1 inch down from the top for the piece being attached to the top and 1 inch from the bottom for the piece being attached to the bottom of the card.
Fold at both score lines.
Fold the opposite end of the DSP from the score in towards the score line so the point meets up with the score line and forms a triangle.
Adhere this side down with Tear N Tape.
Fold the other side in to meet the edge of the other triangle and the score line – these two will form a triangle with a 1 inch edge. Adhere that second side down with Tear N Tape.
Adhere the 1 inch strip to the back of the Basic White cardstock piece and do the same with the other triangular piece making sure if there is a directional pattern that you place them so the directional pattern is upright.
Adhere this double point piece to the Boho Blue card base.
Die cut Basic White and Boho Blue stars out and afix them around the sentiment piece.
Adhere the sentiment piece to the top piece placing tape or glue to the tip of the top outside point and a fix the sentiment piece so that it lies in the center of the two pointed DSP pieces.
Adhere just the bottom half of a small star to the bottom pointed piece as a way to tuck the sentiment piece behind it to help this fun fold remain closed and add three Adhesive Backed Solid Gems in the lighter blue to coordinate with the Boho color!
Hope this inspires you to go and create some art of your very own today – remember just one stamp at a time and the creating will be fun and easy!
Happy Stampin’
