pop out swing card – new thoughtful journey suite collection

pop out swing card – new thoughtful journey suite collection

I first saw this fun fold on another demonstrator’s website and thought it was very cool – I changed a few things up but thanks for the inspiration Tami W. This pop Out Swing card features an incredible new suite of products called Thoughtful Journey Suite Collection. A beautiful stamp bundle with coordinating dies and two sets of gorgeous Designer Series papers. One thoughtful Designs Specialty 12″ x 12″ DSP is described in the online store as paper with a soft gradation of colors! The Thoughtful Designs 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper will make a statement on your handmade cards! Easily die cut, punch, or fussy cut your favorite bundle of branches to add an elevated layer of detail to your crafts. Or turn your favorite page into a stunning card background or treat box. This lovely pearlized paper is a great way to add dimension to your creations as the colors shift when light bounces off each page!
The Thoughtful Journey 6″ x 6″ Designer Paper is what I used for this fun fold card and contains 48 sheets of gorgeous water-colored designs.
There are also Thoughtful Journey Memories and More cards for the easiest and beautiful cards on the planet!
Add a Memories and More Cards and envelopes pack and make the prettiest cards in a flash!
I will be hosting a future Stamp a Stack class with these products – what for the announcement soon!
This fun fold has a bunch of parts and pieces but it is not difficult!

Measurements:
BASE: Petunia Pop CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, scrap for focal point matte
Insert: Petunia Pop 6″ x 4 1/2″ scored at 2″ , 4″
after attaching the DSP
Inside Layer: Petunia Pop 2 1/2″ x 5″
Pool Party: (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″
DSP: (1) 3 3/4″ x 5 “, 2 1/4″ x 4 3/4″
Basic White: scrap for focal point about 2 1/2″
square, 3″ x 3 1/2″ scored at 1 1/2” for back
of insert

Adhere 3 3/4″ x 5″ DSP to the Pool Party layer and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss with the second largest square die from the Stylish Shapes die set. I used the Petunia Pop die cut as the matte for the swing through portion.
Adhere the layers to the card front and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss withe the same die so the hole is in the same spot on all three layers.
Adhere the Pool Party layer to the inside of the card. I laid out the second Petunia pop and DSP layer and decided to place them on the inside of the Pool Party layer so the DSP would be more visible after the insert is attached.
Adhere the DSP to the Petunia Pop layer and adhere to the left-hand side of the Pool Party layer.
Adhere the 4 1/4″ x 5 3/4″ DSP Insert piece to the 4 1/2″ x 6″ Petunia Pop Insert layer.
Score at 2″ and 4″ and fold both layers at the same time.
Place a generous amount of Tear & Tape to the back side of the Insert and adhere to the center right-hand side of the Pool Party inside layer.
Score the Basic White layer in half and adhere to the back side of the insert piece to have a place to write.
Die cut a Basic White square using the middle square from the Stylish Shapes die set and with the Petunia Pop and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Write Markers color in the petals and leaves of the thistle stamp image. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink and stamp on the square in the diagonal position if that is how you die cut the Stylish Shapes shape! (I had to redo mine OOPS I stamped it as a square not a diamond!)
Close the card and place Stampin’ Dimensionals on the Insert that is showing through the Diamond die cut opening.
Adhere the Sentiment diamond to the Petunia Pop diamond and adhere onto the Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the In Color Dots and after thought I should have used the very pretty Adhesive-backed Pearl Trio – I guess i”ll save those for another card!

Here are some images of the card finished!

Try this fun fold for a special card!
Now go and create some art of your own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

2024 Sale-a-bration season is coming to a rapid close just another week and three days left! This Designer Series Paper Sunny Days is one of the FREE level one merchandise items available to those that make a $50 order!

Do you ever struggle with how to start a card – this is an easy way to divide the card into smaller parts! Using your geometric dies like Perennial Postage, Stylish Shapes, Everyday Details, or the Deckled Rectangles position them in a pattern on your layer and cut them out using this as a card template.

Measurements:
BASE: Pool Party 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White layer: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Pool Party layer: 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
DSP scraps for inside die negative spaces
Basic White, Pool Party and Shaded Spruce scraps for sailboat punch and sentiment dies

The Sunny Days DSP was the perfect easy backdrop for my Sailboat Builder punch so I built the card and today’s More Color Monday around the paper – in Pool Party, Shaded Spruce and Basic Gray!

I grabbed some rectangular dies from both the Everyday Details and the Stylish Shapes die sets and arranged them on the Pool Party layer. I ran it through twice for the two squares and saved the die cut pieces to use for the sailboat base and the matte for the sentiment piece.
Mount the Basic White layer onto the Pool Party card base and cut DSP pieces to fit in the openings created by the rectangular and square dies.
Punch out the sailboat image in Basic White cardstock and the sails and top flag in Shaded Spruce and Pool Party CS.
Place glue on the back of the Pool Party layer and start to adhere the DSP pieces to the inside of the die “windows” created by the negative spaces.
Place more glue on the backside of the DSP and the edges of the Pool Party layer and adhere down to the Basic White layer.
Using the die cut out from the bottom opening I layered it onto a basic white piece of the same size and adhered a smaller piece of DSP on top.
Then adhere the sailboat builder punch pieces to the die.
Adhere that piece into the bottom opening.
Stamp the Rainy day sentiment from the Playing in the Rain stamp set in Basic Gray ink and die cut with the medium banner die from the Stylish Shapes die set. Using the square Pool Party die layer that onto the bottom of the sentiment piece diagonally. Pop up onto Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere to the top left section of the template.
I adhered three 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative dots on the sentiment piece.
I added a Basic White 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer to the insode of the card and adhered a 1″ strip of DSP to the right edge leaving a small border.
I added colored sails to the sailboat pinched image in Pool Party and Shaded Spruce.

Sometimes making yourself a template and filling in the spces with DSP and other decorations makes for a very fun and easy card! Try this technique soon and make a template to use on your card front! Now go and create some art of your own – one stamp at a time!

more color mondays – fresh freesia, berry burst and lemon lime twist

Well today is Monday and that equals color around Natalie’s stamp studio! This month is June and that means a Designer Series Paper sale and Paper Share! Do you know what I love about our DSP – well let me count the ways LOL!
1. Color Coordination
2. Color Guide on the back that lists all of the
colors in the DSP
3. It is hand made by our talented designers!
4. It gives me ideas for the color challenges!

There are many more reasons these are just a few…

Today’s color challenge was inspired by the Masterfully Made DSP – the paper was designed and then made and the artists tore the paper apart and put it “Masterfully” back together and photographed it and it went to print for us to buy, enjoy, and create with!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
DSP: 2″ x 5 1/4″ x2 using one of each side
scrap of Berry burst for the sentiment
scrap of vellum for underneath the sentiment

Adhere the first piece of 2″ x 5 1/4″ DSP to the left side of the card leaving an even border around the top, bottom and left side of the card.
Butt the second DSP piece up to the first and match up the top and bottom edges and adhere to the card base.
Using the Irresistible Blooms stamp set, stamp the Hello sentiment on a Stylish Shapes die in Berry Burst ink on Berry Burst card stock.

Stamp the large flower image twice in Fresh Freesia on the Vellum piece.

Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the sentiment circle and add Stampin’ Seal to the middle of the Vellum piece where it will be covered by the circle.
Adhere the vellum piece onto the card – I added the piece over one of the flowers to lend color to the stamped flower on the vellum. Then add the popped up sentiment piece over the middle of the vellum piece.
Add the Fresh Freesia embellishments from the Tinsel Gems Three-pack on the vellum and the card is complete!

Love this color combination and I hope you do as well! Now go and create some art of your own – one stamp at a time and upload a photo of your card in today’s Facebook post about the color challenge!

Happy Stampin’
