easy flap tuck card

How fun are fun fold cards? This is a tucked flap card – super easy and fun!

Measurements:
Base Card:
Daffodil Delight 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Basic White 8″ x 5 1/4″
DSP of choice – 4″ square piece – scored on one
diagonal

Score and fold corner to corner on one diagonal of the 4 inch square of designer series paper.

Score the 8″ x 5 1/4″ sheet of Basic White and adhere one triangle of the DSP square to the back of the Basic White piece so that the white cardstock is glued to the middle of the score line. See photo below.

Cut the edges that overhang so they are even with the card edges on the top and bottom of the DSP.

Adhere the backside of the Basic White cardstock that has the DSP adhered to it to the middle of the Daffodil Delight layer.

Stamp a focal image for the card front – I choose two of the flower images from the Color and Contour stamp set and colored them in with the two step stamping technique in matching Daffodil Delight ink.

Adhere only the far left bottom corner to the card of the bottom flower making sure that it is placed in such a way that you can tuck the DSP point under the flower without a buckle or ripple (make sure that the DSP can tuck under and lie flat).
Add two dimensional above the first flower to layer another flower for added tucking support!

Adhere the second flower to the Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Add the sentiment to the lower half od the card in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Add the yellow Glossy Dots embellishment to finish off this easy fun fold card. Another great way to use both sides of all those gorgeous double sided designer series paper!

Hoping this easy fun fold card inspires you to try one of your own and go and create some fantastic art of your very own – one stamp ata time!

Happy Stampin’

good morning magnolia tucked flap card

by nataliegramleystamps | Apr 28, 2021 | card samples, fun fold, techniques

This is a fun fold card that we will be doing in Card Class Thursday, April 29th and April 30th. This Tucked Flap Fun Fold card is stamped with the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and coordinating Magnolia Memory dies that will be retiring in less than a week this is a great stamp and die set. If you want to own it you can use the current hostess code 37A4MHH and order it before the end of the catalog period May 3rd. The new catalog starts May 4th and I will be hosting a New catalog Open House that day – contact me for all the details!

Measurements for this card:

* Pear Pizzazz Cardstock (#131201) 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 1 1/2″
* Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper (#152492 – Retiring) cut to 1 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ strip
* Good Morning Magnolia stamp set (#149298 – Retiring)
* Magnolia Memory Dies (#149578 – Retiring)
* Stitched So Sweetly dies (#151690)
* Stampin’ Blends – Old Olive Combo Pack (#154892) and Petal Pink (#154893)
* Pear Pizzazz ink (#147104)
* Braided Linen Trim (shown in Mossy Meadow which is retired but still available in Natural tone until May 3rd – Retiring also (#147808) THIS IS A GREAT trim!!!
* Stampin’ Sponges (#141337 – Retiring)
* Bone Folder (#102300) A MUST HAVE FOR FUN FOLD CARDS!!

With you bone folder crease the 1 1/2″ score line well!

I do not score the opposite side from the score line at 1 1/2″. I think it is most accurate to bend the cardstock into the edge of the 1 1/2″ piece, match up the two cardstock ends and then score manually with your bone folder.

Adhere your 1 1/4″ x 5 1/4 ” DSP to the 1 1/2″ outer side of the cardstock.

Using a scrap of Basic White Cardstock die cut from the Stitched So Sweetly die set and stamp the Thanks sentiment from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink. Using a Stampin’ Sponge (these are retiring!!) sponge the edge for extra depth and dimension.

Open up the card and on the outer larger flap stamp with Pear Pizzazz ink for a tone on tone look the large Magnolia from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set.

Fold the card together and only applying Stampin’ Seal to the left side of the Stitched So Sweetly Die sentiment piece adhere to the left side flap

Stamp in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink the smaller Magnolia image from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set (Retiring) and using Petal Pink and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends color in the image and die cut with the Magnolia Memory Dies.

Add Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the smaller flower image and adhere the lower left hand side of the sentiment piece.

The card will not stay closed on it’s own at this point, so using the Braided Linen Trim (#147808 – Retiring) Tie a piece tightly around the 1 1/2″ side of the cardfont and gently “tuck” the sentiment piece under the trim!
