more color mondays – melon mambo, peach pie and flirty flamingo

by nataliegramleystamps | Feb 24, 2025 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, embossing folders, fun fold, new catalog, Sale-a-bration, techniques

This will be the final More Color Mondays Color Challenge for the 2025 Sale-a-bration catalog so I created a double fun fold card with the Heart Shaped Level Two Reward bundle in hues of Melon Mambo, Peach Pie and Flirty Flamingo taking the lead from one of the gorgeous pieces of Bloom Impressions Sale-a-bration DSP!

This double fun fold card features a hidden gate-fold card inside the card front as a sweet little surprise!

Measurements:
BASE: Melon Mambo CS: 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
3″ x 4″ for front matte
scraps for die cuts
Flirty Flamingo layer: 3 3/4″ x 4 3/4″
scraps for die cuts
Peach Pie CS Outside card: 3 1/4″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
scrap for die cuts
Inside DSP gate fold card: 4″ x 6″
scored at 1 1/2″ and 4 1/2″
scrap for die cut
Basic White CS inside layer: 2 3/4″ x 3 3/4″
scrap for die cut

Cut the Bloom Impressions DSP into a 4″ x 6″ piece.
Score at 1 1/2″ and 4 1/2″ and fold inward to create a gate fold mini card.
Cut a Basic White layer to 2 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ and adhere three small flowers from the Heart Shaped die set in each of the More Color Monday color challenge colors of Melon Mambo, Peach Pie and Flirty Flamingo and adhere to the top of the white layer.
Stamp the “MY HEART LOVES YOUR HEART” sentiment in the middle of the layer and adhere to the inside middle panel of the DSP.

Cut the Peach Pie to 3 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ and score in half on the long side at 4 1/4″.
Adhere the DSP middle panel to the inside bottom of the Peach Pie card.

Emboss the Flirty Flamingo layer in the Soft Waves 3D embossing folder and adhere to the 1/4 sheet of Melon Mambo CS as the card base.

Adhere the Melon Mambo 3″ x 4″ front matte to the outside of the Peach Pie card front.
Adhere the Peach Pie card to the center of the Flirty Flamingo layer.

I stamped the “MY thoughts OF YOU ARE ALL heart SHAPED” sentiment in Melon mambo ink in the center of a Basic White CS negative heart die from the Heart Shaped bundle.

I die cut and saved the negative space from the Heart Shaped heart die in Peach Pie, Melon Mambo and the DSP.
I decided to add these under the white negative die cut sentiment heart to make it stand out more.

This is the completed hidden gate fold card inside and out.

I die cut the Heart Shaped die in the Bloom Impressions DSP and adhered it to the Melon Mambo matte layer.
I die cut two small flowers from each cardstock color and adhered them to the lower left-hand side of the heart die.
I adhered Iridescent Pears to the center of each small flower die, and stamped the “JUST BECAUSE I CARE” sentiment to the lower right-hand side of the layer to finish the card!

I loved this color combination and how this “surprise inside” card turned out. Thanks to the original inspiration from one of our new Artisan Design Team Members Pamela B who learned this from her upline Rhonda W. I love learning from other creative demonstrators and teaching you how to do these fun cards!

Would love to see your creations using this design! Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

thoughtful journey card in card fun fold

by nataliegramleystamps | Nov 15, 2024 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, fun fold, masculine cards, stamps ink paper, techniques

These are awesome colors and a great card on card fun fold with plenty of space for an extended message!
TODAY is my mother’s 85th birthday and she has always loved a neutral color palette and although the Pretty Peacock will be a little loud for her tastes LOL the Wild Wheat is right up her alley! At first this card looks like a thank you card as you will see but on her birthday I have much to be thankful for so it has the space to say it all!
Follow along as I detail how to make this gorgeous card on card fun fold perfect for this special birthday!

Measurements:
BASE: Pretty Peacock CS: 5 1/2″ x 10″
scored at 4 1/4, and 8 1/2″
Smaller Card: 3 1/2″ x 7″
scored at 3 1/2″
DSP: 4″ x 5 1/4″ large panel on outside of BASE
1 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ small front panel
2 3/4″ square
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
scrap for Stylish Shapes 2 3/8″ square die cut
3 1/8″ square for inside of smaller card
Wild Wheat CS: 3 1/8″ square

Cut all pieces and using Wild Wheat ink, stamp the large open foliage stamp from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on the Basic White CS die cut and the 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer.

Score the BASE at 4 1/4″ and 8 1/2″ and fold both score lines inward toward the middle of the card.

Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer onto the inside middle panel of the large card base.

Adhere the Wild Wheat DSP 1 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ piece to the outside of the smaller right hand side panel.

Score the smaller card at 3 1/2″ and with the fold on the right-hand side adhere the 3 1/8″ square of Basic White CS inside.

Adhere the Wild Wheat layer and the DSP square to the front of the smaller card

Stamp the die cut with the open foliage stamp and the thanks sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Wild Wheat ink.
Adhere to the card front.

Place two strips of Tear & Tape on the back of the smaller card just to the right of the score line and line up the edge of the score line with the center edge of the smaller panel over the DSP strip and adhere to the edge.

Adhere the larger DSP layer to the front panel of the larger card BASE.

I stamped additional messages to personize this extra special birthday card to the inside of the smaller card…

…and the inside of the larger card!

Fold the bottom of the smaller card in first, then the larger panel of the base card and then the top of the smaller card at the top!
This is what it looks like closed.

I added three of the gold Pastel Adhesive-backed Sequins to the card to finish off this extra special card for an extra special human!

Do you need a special card with lots of room to say a bunch of things? This is the perfect card – now go and create this fun fold for someone special in your life! Go create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Special Birthday Mom!
