more color mondays – pretty peacock,pecan pie and crumb cake

Today’s More Color Mondays theme colors today are Pretty Peacock, Pecan Pie and Crumb Cake – I did not initially get this Stamp/die bundle but was so drawn to it and all of the samples that I found I had to break down and get it!

This fun fold is so simple, it is a regular card with an extra score line which I ended up bending backwards and securing after decorating it with all the lovely dies from this set! I love the consecutive large dies that come with the die set there are so many possibilities!

Measurements:
BASE: Pretty Peacock CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 1 1/4″ and 4 1/4″
scraps for dies
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″ and 3/4″ x 5 1/2″
Pecan Pie CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″ and 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
scraps for dies
Crumb Cake CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″ and 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
scraps for dies

Score the BASE at 1 1/4″ and 4 1/4″.

Bend the base card back at 1 1/4″ score line and in half at the 4 1/4″ score line.

I stamped the right-hand edge of the Basic White 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer and adhered it to the inside of the card base.
I cut the Pecan Pie 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer with the second to the smallest consecutive die and the Crumb Cake layer with the smallest die.

Stamp a branch in Early Espresso ink and stamp the small pinecone in the same color on the branches. Stamp the pine needle plumes in Pretty Peacock ink and the Hello as well.

Adhere the Crumb Cake layer to the Pecan Pie matte layer.

Adhere the dies to the middle of the first bent back panel.

Adhere the dies under the panel sticking out around the focal point dies.

Add the Pecan Pie die to the right of the words and pine bough on top of the dies.

Adhere the two pine cone dies on top of the stamped pine cone images.

I added a Basic White strip to the left of the bent back panel and adhered that panel to the card front.

I added another Pretty Peacock pine cluster below the Hello sentiment to add a little more color there.

I added three Streaked Dots which are a lovely new embellishment round dot that is a neutral brown hue with golden streaks and swirls!
I added two more coordinating strips of Pecan Pie and Crumb Cake left overs from cutting the paper to the background of the card base and I love the difference it made in the backdrop of this card!

What a great masculine card using this lovely outdoor pine set. Try to make a masculine card – with great neutral colors and a nature set!
Now go and create some artwork of your very own one stamp at a time!

bend back fun fold with sneak peak products

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!
