This Double Box Fun Fold card is super easy once you have the dimensions and what a fun standing 3D card for your favorite person!

Measurements:
BASE Piece #1: Pecan Pie: 9 3/8″ x 4 1/4″
   scored at 3/8″, 1 3/8″, 2 7/8″ and 3 7/8″
BASE Piece #2: Pecan Pie: 3 1/2″ x 5 1/8″
   scored at 3/8″ and 1 3/8″
   scraps for Humble Home punch
Basic Beige CS: 3 3/4″ x 4″
   3 1/4″ x 3 3/4″
Real Red CS: 1 1/4″ x 4″ and (2) 5/8″ x 4″
   scrap for die cut
   1/4″ strip for Humble Home punch for heart

Stamp the Home image in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Pecan Pie scrap and punch out home and save the heart as well.

Die cut a medium circle from the Stylish Shapes die set in Real Red CS and stamp the “from our house to yours” in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

Run the Basic Beige smaller piece through the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder.
Run the three Real Real pieces through the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder.

Fold the score lines in as mountain folds and add Tear and Tape to the first and smallest scored panel.

Peel off the release paper from BASE #1 and fold the second score line from the end and attach the Tear and Tape piece to the card base.
If you attach while the paper is folded flat this will put the scored tab with the Tear and Tape in the correct place to allow the card to open and close within the parameters of the envelope size.

Attach the Forever Plaid 3D embossed Real Red pieces to the box panels the two pieces of the same size attach to the side of the box and the larger piece goes on the top panel of the box.

Adhere the Basic Beige embossed piece to the BASE #2 piece.

Place some adhesive on the end opposite the Tear and Tape end to attach to the BASE #1 box.
I placed the piece upside down on Box #1 so that I made sure to only adhere where the end of the piece would meet on Box #1’s surface (you do not want to adhere past the box edge)

Flip over Box #2 and adhere the left hand edge to Box #1.

Peel the release paper from the Tear and Tape, fold over the first two panels and then collapse box #1 and with the first to panels from Box #2 folded to the back – press firmly to secure the Tear and Tape to the card base.
(I decided to add a layer to the card base after doing this step OOPS!! so if you would like a layer under Box #2 do this before adhering the end of Box #2.

I adhered the small Real Red sentiment circle die to the surface of Box #2.

I adhered a Pecan Pie small heart to the Real Red circle die.

Adhere the Humble Home punch house to the card front and I added three Real Red hearts coming out of the chimney.

I decided to add another layer to the card base so I detached BASE #2 and adhered the Basic Beige layer to the card base then reattached BOX #2.

This is a view of the card standing up!

I added three Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs to the card front to finish the card off with a little bling!

post 500! double arrowhead full of life card

by nataliegramleystamps | Sep 20, 2024 | 3D projects, card samples, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, embossing folders, fun fold, techniques

Can you believe this is my 500th POST!!!
That is 166 weeks worth of Monday, Wednesday and Friday tutorials and cards and that is 3.2 years worth of content! I am proud of this blog I started and the business that I have built! The best part for me is the friendships that I have made and customer relationships that have been built over the last 23 years! I am grateful for every day that I can wake up and create something fun and beautiful and i am forever thankful for this awesome company!

I wanted to make a special card for the 500th post and one of my favorite stamp bundles right now is the Sketched Butterflies!
I was inspired by a very talented demonstrator in my side line named Susan Campfield and she made this awesome double arrowhead card a few months ago and I wanted to try my hand at it – so this is my version!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
(2) 4 1/4″ x 5″
scored on 5″ side at 1 1/2″, 3″ 3 3/4″ and 4 1/2″
(1) 2 1/4″ x 4″ embossed
Full of Life DSP
(2) 1 1/4″ x 4″
(4) 1/2″ x 4″

I folded the (2) 4 1/4″ x 5″ in a Mountain-Mountain-Valley-Mountain configuration. See the folded sheet at the top of the next photo.

Using the Multipurpose (green) glue, on the smallest edge (in between the 3 3/4″ and 4 1/2″ score lines) – glue to the back side of the first panel. This will make an arrowhead shaped piece of paper.
Do that to the second 4 1/4″ x 5″ piece of paper as well.

Adhere the 1/2″ x 4″ pieces of DSP to the gusseted part of both of the arrowheads.

With the points of the arrowheads facing in towards the middle of the card adhere the arrowheads to the outside edges of the card front.

Adhere the 1 1/4″ x 4″ pieces of DSP to the 2 front panels of each arrowheads.

Emboss the 2 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White card stock with the Dotted Circle 3D embossing folder or another one of your choosing.
Adhere to the middle of the card in between the two arrowheads,

Stamp the sentiment on Basic White card stock scrap and die cut some of the Sketched Butterflies in Basic Black card stock and adhere to the middle embossed panel.

Add some Drusy Adhesive-backed embellishments to the card front.

I took an extra piece of DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card and added an extra butterfly die to the paper.

The gusseted arrowheads allow the card to stand freely for display!

HAPPY 500th post! Hope you love this card as much as I do! Thanks for the inspiration Susan! and I hope I inspire you as well! Now it’s your turn to create some art work of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
