Fanfare Fold Card

Hola!

Today I am working on the card for the Fanfare Fold Card Swap.

This is the first time I do one of these cards and I really liked it.  

Beware: Extra postage required!

This card is thick and bumpy, 

I had to add an additional $0.21 stamp to mail within the USA.

To make this card:

Step 1. Base card is a regular A2 size card 

I used 110# white cardstock from Recollections

dimensions: 4 1/4" x 11"

folded in half: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Step 2. You will need a piece of paper measuring 4 1/4" x 11" 

for the folded part of the card (I used Stampin' Up Pool Party paper) 

Step 3. Score the paper at  (I used Pool Party):

1.5"

3"

5.5"

8"

Step 4. Cut the panels to decorate each fold. 

(I used designer paper from the Sweet Sorbet collection from Stampin' Up):

4"x2 3/4"

4"x2 1/4"

4"x1 1/4"

4"x2 1/4" - for the message panel.

Step 5. Adhere panels and assemble your card and decorate!

I hope you enjoyed the card!

Have a great day!

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,

A thank you card for Mr. T - our neighbor & coloring video

Hola, 

I am back with a thank you card for our awesome neighbor Mr. T.

A few weeks ago we had a bad snow storm and Mr. T saw my kiddos 

shoveling my daughter's car out and he came to help.

I thought this bear from 2CuteInk was super appropriate!

I think my kids learned a few lessons that day:

1. always help your brother or sister,

2. help a neighbor if you have a chance,

3. and always, always be thankful when someone offers you help.

I you are interested on watching the coloring video, here it is.
