Today’s card is an easy variation on a simple Z fold fun fold card just by adding two layered panels you get an added look and lots of space to decorate and embellish!

Measurements:
BASE: Shy Shamrock CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″
DSP: 4″ x 5 1/4″ for inside BASE panel
and (2) 2 1/2″ x 4″ two left BASE panels
Melon Mambo CS: (2) 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″

scrap for large butterfly die

I grabbed a 4″ x 5 1/4″ scrap of Basic White and stamped the largest butterfly image from the new Beautiful Butterflies bundle in Memento Black ink.
I colored the butterfly with the Peach Pie and Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blends markers and then die cut the image.

PAPER SAVING TIP: Whenever you have multiple layers that will be adhered to a surface you can die cut from the middle and reduce the weight of the card and get extra embellishments and dies from the paper that would have been covered!
I die cut four detailed smaller butterflies from the Beautiful Butterflies die set from the middle of the Melon Mambo layers.
(HAPPY ACCIDENT: forgot that the front layer would only be half adhered! See the results at the end LOL!)

Adhere the panel layers together and decorate as you wish.

I die cut one of the Basic White layers with the lattice die from the new Linked Together bundle.

Then I adhered and stamped and decorated with the Beautiful Butterflies bundle!

I adhered the 4″ x 5 1/4″ DSP to the inside BASE panel then I adhered the two smaller DSP panels to the two smaller left BASE panels.

I adhered the inside colored cardstock layered panels to the center of the back BASE panel over the 4″ x 5 1/4″ DSP layer.

I adhered three Sunny Day Iridescent Dots Embellishments to the front layered panel and adhered it so that it covers the panel on the inside so it is a little surprise when you open up the card!
Make sure that you only place adhesive on the left side of the panel as half the panel will be hanging off the first Z fold panel!

I adhered one last detailed small butterfly die back into the area I die cut that I forgot would not be covered OOPS! but here is my HAPPY ACCIDENT – think it looks like I meant to do it!

Hoping you can turn all of your accidents into happy ones!

Sale-a-bration is in full swing and you can earn FREE merchandise or get an awesome deal on the Starter kit!

My Open House will be moved to next Friday as I am still settling back in from vacation I realized that I did not schedule the e-mail invitation correctly and it did not send to you all! Another OOPS! In my defense my brain is still on island time!

Now go and try this fun fold whenever you get a chance – it is snowing here so that is always a good time to create! Go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

early bird swaps arrive

by nataliegramleystamps | Jan 24, 2024 | card samples, card swap, Designer Series Paper, embossing folders, fun fold, new catalog, Sale-a-bration, stamps ink paper, techniques

Every month I find a new inspiration to share with you from my upline and sideline swap group! Last week I shared my own versions of the Twisted Book Bind Easel card and making your own Designer Series paper as a background for a card – you will find the inspiration card below and so much more. All these cards came from a December Early Bird new catalog swap! Enjoy!

This first swap card was designed Jeanna T and uses the Perennial Lavender DSP from the new mini catalog and the Jungle Pals Sale-a-bration offers both the stamp set in Level One and the coordinating dies set in Level Two!

Carol S’s swap card features the Sale-a-bration Level Two Softly Sophisticated Bundle in shades of Boho Blue, Calypso Coral and White with Flight and Airy Sale-a-bration Level One DSP.

This next swap card is full of whimsy combining the Cutest Cows Bundle and the Sunny Days Sale-a-bration Level One DSP designed by Lyn L.

Veronica’s adorable Let’s Chat card is from a new set in the 2024 January to April Mini Catalog and is a sweet card you could send to any friends or family!

Another stamp set full of whimsy is the Submarine Life and our swap leader Denise W sent this cute card in hues of Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lime Twist! I love how the Iridescent Adhesive Dots look like bubbles in the water!

Jennie T’s swap card uses the new Enduring Beauty bundle with stamps, dies and coordinating mask for easy coloring!

The swap card below features the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle from the mini catalog and the Flight and Airy DSP from the Sale-a-bration catalog for a sleek and sophisticated sympathy card.

Kathi D’s swap card features the Flight and Airy DSP as well with the Layered Florals 3D as her background on a Boho Blue card base.

Maria W shared a paper saving tip with this Bee Mine Suite Collection swap card! She die cut the Sweet Sorbet die from her layer and covered it with DSP – saves paper and makes the card lighter when you are adding many layers, she also cut another die from the Scalloped Contours die set from the black to use for a future card! So smart and thanks for sharing that tip – I do that too!

The last swap card for this swap session comes from Beth R. and she used the Watercolor Melon Sale-a-bration Level One stamp set for a Twisted Easel Bookfold card – I recreated this one for the January 12th, 2024 blog post with the Ice Cream Swirl bundle! I love all the extra details she put into the card to step it up! Just Kiddin’ DSP, Basics 3D Embossing Folder trio and she used a Stampin’ Spritzer on the whole watermelon after she first stamped off to give it an even more watercolor look!

Now it’s time for you to pull out your supplies and create some art of your own – one stamp at a time!
