Copic Tutorial: Tons of Orange

Hola!!

I am back to share with you a few color combinations 

which you may find useful during this fall season!

Todays colors: ORANGE

I have three favorite colors...orange is one of them!

Here are the combos I used on my pumpkins!

This is my lightest combo.
I chose not to use a darker color like E-09 to accentuate the shadows

I wanted to try a little bit more yellow on my pumpkin.

The last two color combos look exactly the same.

I love them both.

I like the darker tones of orange with a hint of yellow.

I hope you found a combo you liked best!

Enjoy...next tones of GREEN!!

Flip & Fold Card for SWAP

¡Hola!

Flip & Fold card

Today I am sharing with you my "Flip & Fold card" 

for the swap of the same name.  

It is an easy way to fold and it adds a little pizzazz to your cards.

• What I used:

Base: 5" x 12" Double sided Stampin' Up (SU) paper

Score base at: 2", 4", 8", and 10"

Message Panel back: SU's Island Indigo : 3.5" x 5.25"

Message panel (white): 3.25" x 5"

Dies: SU label dies (paper - Island Indigo)

Panda digital stamp: By 2CuteInk

Scribble lines die: From my stash

• Process:

Step 1: Cut base, 5" x 12" 

Step 2: Fold base in mountains and valleys - like an accordion!

Step 3: Cut the top on a diagonal - 

from the fold next to the message panel to half of the end border of the card. 

Half is at 2 3/4" (Since the card is 5 1/2" tall). 

Do not discard the triangles. 

You will use them to decorate the cards shown below.  

Step 4: To decorate: glue the triangles to the card. 

Match the folds on the card to the ones on the triangles. 

Step 5: Glue message panel and decorate card.

I used a cute Panda from 2CuteInk, 

a SU label framelit die, scribbly lines dies, and 

major Wink of Stella.

This is the back of my card.
Card is closed.

 I hope you liked learning about this new (to me) fold. 

Gracias,

Adiós,
