nature’s sweetness card in card fun fold

Blog Post #400 I cannot believe it – hopefully you are enjoying all of the posts! If you have been following me for any length of time you probably have read that I love bright colors! Normally I am not an earth tones warm and fussy girl but this color is fast becoming one of my favorites and it certainly garners the top spot in the neutrals category for me! 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!

Measurements:
BASE: Pebbled Path 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Piece 1: Basic White CS 4″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 5 1/4″
Piece 2: Basic White CS 2 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
DSP for inside of Piece 1: 3 3/4″ x 5″
DSP for outside of Piece 1: 3 3/4″ x 3″
DSP for both sides of flap for Piece 2:
(2) 2 1/4″ x 4″
Pebbled Path scrap for 2 circle dies
Vellum Scrap for largest circle die

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!

Happy Stampin’

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!
