Using the large abstract stamp from Artistically Inked and Old Olive ink stamp in the center of the Basic White card front, in multiple directions to cover the center of the card.

Die cut the Old Olive piece with the smaller leaf die from the Stippled Rose die set. Cut in a diagonal pattern with the stem towards the inside and the leaves facing opposite corners. Save these for another project!

bend back fun fold with sneak peak products

by nataliegramleystamps | Dec 8, 2023 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, fun fold, new catalog, sneak peak, specialty papers, stamps ink paper, techniques

A few weeks ago on October 30th in one of my More Color Monday posts I made a card using this bend back fun fold but I was highlighting color combinations at the time not the fun fold. This is a super simple fun fold and a lovely way to display many sides of our gorgeous new Nature’s Sweetness 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper!

Measurements:
BASE: Pebbled Path 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 1 1/4″ and 4 1/4″
DSP (2) 1″ x 5 1/4″
(2) 2 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
white inside layer: 2 3/4″ x 5 1/4″

Score the 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ Pebbled Path Base card stock at 1 1/4″ and 4 1/4″.

Fold in half at the 4 1/4″ score line like a regular card then fold the 1 1/4″ score line back on itself like a mini Z fold!

Adhere the first 2 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ DSP to the inside middle section in between the 1 1/4″ and 4 1/4″ score lines.

Adhere the Basic White 2 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ to the right side of the 4 1/4″ score line leaving an 1/8″ border against the score line.
Adhere one of the 1 1/4″ pieces of DSP to the right hand edge side of the inside of the card leaving an 1/8″ border from the Basic White layer just adhered and the right hand edge of the card.

Close the card front and adhere the last 2 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ DSP piece to the right side of the 4 1/4″ score line on the card front.

Die cut the binder hole punch die onto the other 1 1/4″ DSP and lace the new Gold Faux Leather Trim through the holes.
Fold the small flap and adhere to the card front.
Adhere this 1 1/4″ piece on the outside of that flap.

Stamp the inside sentiment on the Basic White cardstock layer in Pebbled Path ink.

Stamp the large plant stamp in Pebbled Path ink and die cut. I water colored with Pebbled Path and Petal Pink from a waterpainter brush on the leaves and the petals.

After dry adhere Stampin’ Dimensionals and pop up on the card front.

Color the flowers of the stamped image with Wink of Stella for some added sparkle.

Add some Adhesive Backed Milky Dots to the card front and your bend back fun fold card is complete!

Try your hand at this easy fun fold with the supplies you have around and go create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

more color mondays – sweet sorbet, daffodil delight and petal pink

by nataliegramleystamps | Oct 23, 2023 | card samples, color challenge, Designer Series Paper, fun fold, more color mondays, online exclusives, sneak peak, stamps ink paper, techniques

OnStage@Home is a special event for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators coming up on November 11th – it is a craft along day where we are joined by Stampin’ Up! Executives to celebrate the year and talk about business for the upcoming year! We always get a sneak peak of some of the products in the upcoming mini catalog or new annual catalog! This year the set we will be crafting with is featured in the upcoming January to April 2024 mini catalog! It is called the Bee Mine Suite Collection and it features a sweet valentine’s Day bundle with bees and hearts called Bee My Valentine! Today’s More Color Mondays is a sneak peak into that suite and a fun accordion pop out card!

Measurements:
BASE: Sweet Sorbet 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
DSP: Bee Mine (available in January)
(3) 4″ x 5 1/4″
Pop Out Mechanism: Basic White 11″ x 1″
Basic Black layers: (4) 2 1/8″ x 2 5/8″
Daffodil Delight Layers: (4) 2″ x 2 1/2″

This a WOW card but super simple to put together!

Score and fold the Sweet Sorbet card base in half at the 5 1/2″ mark.
Adhere the striped side out of the Bee Mine DSP to each of the three sides – card front and two insides. (You can also put a Basic White 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer on the back for writing)

Cut a 1″ strip by 11″ and score at 2 3/4″, 5 1/2″, and 8 1/4″ – fold into a W.

Adhere the flat portion down to the outside edge in the center of the left inside panel.

Place adhesive on the outside flat edge of the mechanism and close the back of the card over the mechanism to adhere the strip to the back center of the inside of the card. Make sure that the center score line is lined up with the center score of the card base.

Adhere the Daffodil Delight pieces to the Black matte pieces.

Decorate and stamp the daffodil delight pieces with images and sentiments.

Decide the order of the small pieces and adhere the entire back to the first and last piece centering it over the pop out mechanism.

Placing adhesive only on the middle of the second and third sections of the mechanism adhere the second and third pieces to the pop out mechanism piece placing them in line with the first and last piece.

Decorate the card front. I added a bee and hearts blended with Petal pink ink and a sentiment. I added three Iridescent Pastel Gems to the card front to add a final touch of sparkle!

The card ingredients below will not have the Bee Mine Suite shown until January when they become available to customers.
