country flowers side accordion card

by nataliegramleystamps | Jun 28, 2024 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, fun fold, techniques

I ran across this Side Accordion card from Claire O, a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator from England and I redid the measurements so it would fit into a standard American A2 envelope! Hope you like this fun fold! I used the Country Wood DSP and the Country Flowers bundle.

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″, 6 7/8″, 8 1/4″, and 9 5/8″
Front card piece: Basic White CS 3 1/4″ x 9 1/2″
scored in half at 4 3/4″
DSP: Back Panel piece: 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
(4) side accordion panels 1 1/4″ x 4 1/8″
(2) front card pieces 3 1/8″ x 4 5/8″
scrap Basic White for sentiment and die cut flowers and teapot
scrap Basic Black for piece under sentiment strip
Scrap Basic White for the inside sentiment and note writing space – I die cut one of the larger dies from the Countryside Corners die set for this piece

Take the 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Basic White and score at 5 1/2″, 6 7/8″, 8 1/4″ and 9 5/8″.
Place the four smaller sections on the left-hand side of the card.
Cut (4) pieces from different patterns of the Country Wood DSP in 1 1/4″ x 4 1/8″ sections and adhere to the four smaller panels.

Cut a piece of DSP to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ and adhere to the back panel of the 4 1/4″ x 11″ card base.

Die cut a scrap of Basic White with one of the larger Countryside Corners dies.

Stamp in Misty Moonlight the inside sentiment from the Country Flowers stamp set on the lower right-hand side of the die.

Adhere to the center of the back panel.

Cut the front panel piece at 3 1/4″ x 9 1/2″ and score on the long side in half at 4 3/4″.
Cut 2 pieces of Country Wood DSP at 3 1/8″ x 4 5/8″ and adhere to the outside panels of the front card piece.
Adhere the front card in the center of the first and fourth panels with Tear n Tape.

Stamp and color with Stampin’ Blends the teapot and the flowers from the Country Flowers bundle.
Adhere the teapot to the right hand side of the front card piece.

Die cut the flowers and pop up with Stampin’ Dimensionals above the teapot.
Stamp the best froend ever sentiment onto a scrap of Basic White CS and cut out with diagonal edges on both ends.
Take a piece of scrap black and cut with the same diagonal cuts a little longer than the sentiment strip and =adhere underneath the word strip. Pop up the strip below the teapot on the card.

I decided to place a little of the upcoming Navy Natural Tones Linen thread curled around the sentiment piece and added milky dots as embellishments!

This fun fold card stands up and displays – I love how this turned out!

Try it soon and go create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Pebbled Path is a warm gray brown and goes well with just about anything you match up with it! Today it is the color of choice to pull out of the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty paper for this awesome and easy card in card fun fold!

Adhere Piece 1 with the score line to the left on the center of the 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ Base piece.

Adhere the 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of DSP to the inside of Piece 1.

Adhere Piece 2 to the center of the DSP just attached with the score line to the right side and opening to the left. The top flap will lay over the left hand flap of Piece 1.

Adhere the two piece of DSP 2 1/4″ x 4″ to the inside right panel of Piece 2 and the outside of Piece 2. (if there is a direction to your DSP make sure it matches with the way you have set up your card!)

Adhere the 3 3/4″ x 3″ piece of DSP to the outside panel of Piece 1. (if your DSP is directional make sure it matches the direction of your card.

Stamp images and sentiment in Pebbled Path on the circle die cuts from the Everyday Details dies set. Die cut the largest circle from the Everyday Details die set from vellum cardstock.
Adhere them in a pattern that is pleasing to your eye and also will not extend past the score line on the right of Piece 2 so it does not bend the vellum when the card opens.
Adhere to the card only placing tape where the adhesive will not be seen on the vellum and not to extend past the Piece 2 parameters.

Place Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots to the card and you are done!
Such a delightful Fun Fold – try this today with your stamps and go create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

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’
