Fancy Fold Friday

Its Back!

Yes, I am bring back Fancy Fold Friday! As I have previously discussed, I attended a team training event a few weeks ago and my lovely friend Heidi put together this whole inspiration station of Fancy Fold Cards as well as 3 wonderful make and takes that were also fancy folds. I had forgotten how much I LOVE making fancy fold cards! So, in the spirit of doing what we love I have brought back Fancy Fold Friday.

Now, there is a video this week but I cannot promise a video tutorial every week (they are a whole heap of work!) but I will promised to ensure that each week comes with written instructions and measurements

I just love this stamp set! Number of Years is a great excuse to make numbered birthday cards. Saying that I don’t have a 24th birthday to send this card to – so if you do, let me know and I will send this card to you!

Round and Round the Snowman!

Stampin' Up! UK Round Christmas card

As I said on Sunday, I haven’t got any more videos now until the new year, but I didn’t want to leave my wonderful blog readers hanging on a Tuesday! So I have a special sort of card for you today…

A round one!

Stampin' Up! UK Round Christmas card

This card was created from a 4 1/2″ square card black. To create the round shape I used one of the larger Circle Dies from the Circle Collection, and positioned the die so a little bit was hanging off the edge of the folded edge, creating a hinge. I had to cut the bottom of the card too, otherwise it just rolled away!

I’m totally in love with Mr. Snowman, I think this will probably be the only type of Snowman I get to make this year, its getting warmer again here and I’m not holding out much hope for a white Christmas!

Santa’s Gifts …. lots of love….

Stampin' Up! UK Santa's gifts Christmas card

I’ve been loving making some fancy fold cards again recently, although I’m not totally sure what this style of card is called! I think my favourite Christmas stamp set this year is the lovely Santa’s gifts, the combination of cute Christmas images and really handy sentiments wins me every time!

Stampin' Up! UK Santa's gifts Christmas card

This fold is so easy to create. Take your A4 card stock and cut it in half on the short end. This will give you two long piece of card stock. Fold in half to create your card base, and then fold the front of the card back towards the folded edge.

The tree is stamped on a piece of Very Vanilla cut down to 2 3/4 x 2 3/4″ (6.5 x 6.5 cm) matted onto a piece of Garden Green. I’ve used my Stampin’ Write markers in  Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry and Crumb Cake, to colour the tree.

Stampin' Up! UK Fancy fold Christmas card

I don’t always decorate the insides of my cards (yes, I know, I’m really naughty!) but with this style of card, interior decoration is a must! The Designer Series Paper is take from Farmers Market, and coordinated perfectly with the Cherry Cobbler card base.

Joy Just for you

Stampin' Up! UK joy fold Farmers Market Floral Wings

It’s been a while since I made a Fancy Fold Card, and for all this isn’t the fanciest of fancy fold I love this style of card – the Joy Fold. I have blogged this style of card before, complete with measurements and full instructions including a video tutorial!

Stampin' Up! UK joy fold Farmers Market Floral Wings

This card colour combination is totally inspired by the pack of Designer Series Paper that is used here – Farmers Market – but I’m sure that this colour combo will pop up again, Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive. I’ve been loving using more Designer Series Paper on cards recently, I really needed to make a dent in my huge stash of DSP, and making cards like these definitely help to get it used up!

This card also mixes Whisper White and Very Vanilla, something I rarely do! but I really think it works here (and it was a complete accident, I had the front panel stamped before I had taken note of the colour of that check patterned paper!)

The stamping here is from the Floral Wings Hostess Exclusive stamp set in the Annual Catalogue. I don’t think I have used this set before to make a card that didn’t feature a butterfly, but I loved using it so much that I have another card using the same stamp set coming on Friday! Hostess Exclusive stamp sets can be found at the back of both current catalogues, and are purchased using your Stampin’ Rewards. Have you seen our current Stampin’ Rewards promotion? earn an addition 3% rewards on all orders over £200!

Hello!

Welcome to another Free Online Workshop! I am loving doing these, and am hopefully going to do one every couple of months. Let me know what you think and what you would like to see featured in these longer tutorials using the comments section at the end of the post

Stampin' Up! UK Free workshop

This time I have focused on the Butterfly Basics stamp set, I was so please to find it had carried over into the brand new Annual Catalogue! You can find it in the Artistic Expression section, page 124, where it is featured with the Butterflies Thinlits dies in a great bundle that saves you 15%!

Both the cards and the tag here use the brand new In-Colours; Mint Macaron, Delightful Dijon, Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush, and Tip Top Taupe. These new colours are great additions, to the current range of colours, filling in gaps in Bright colours, and adding a wonderful new neutral. In-Colours change every year, and run for 2 years, adding 10 wonderful colours to our line, and giving your more options for projects.  In Colours are available on a great deal too! You can purchase all the ink pads and a multi-pack of card stock for the price of just the ink pads – that’s free card stock folks! Awesome!

Before I get into this card, I have a confession to make (actually its two!) firstly, I made a mistake in the video, please use the measurements posted below – do as I type and not as I say!, and I’m sorry but I only have the metric measurements for this this card – imperial was just too much for my brain!

I also cannot take credit for this card – the design is totally down to the gorgeous Catherine Pooler – you can see her Imperial version of this card HERE

Stampin' Up! UK Sale-a-bration swing card Catherine Pooler

 

This card uses the Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper – Best Year Ever, and Stamp set – Simply Wonderful, but today isn’t really about that, its about that fabulous swing!

Measurements:

Cardstock – 14 x 17 cm

On the long side first score at 7 cm from the top down to 3.5 cm and from 10.5cm to the bottom, repeat this at 10cm

Then turn your cardstock so that the short side is on the top and cut at 3.5 cm from 3 cm to 7 cm, and from 10 cm to 14 cm. Then cut at 11 cm, from 3 cm to 7 cm and 10 cm to 14 cm

Turn your cardstock back so that the long side is at the top, and cut at 3 cm from the top cut line (at 3.5 cm) to the bottom cut line (at 10.5 cm), and repeat this at 14 cm

You then need to matting layers:

cardstock – 6 x 10.5 cm

Designer Series Paper – 5.5 x 10cm

 

This beautiful stamp set could be yours for FREE when you order £45! LOVE it!

Fancy Fold Friday – Screen Divider Card

Welcome to another Fancy Fold Friday! Each Friday here at StampinByHannah and over on my YouTube, we look at a different Fancy Fold card. I will be putting them all together, probably on a YouTube Playlist at some point, just haven’t quite managed it yet!

This week during my hunt through Pinterest this style of card caught my eye, an interesting use of a punch!

Stampin' Up! UK screen divider card fancy fold butterfly basics

I just love this stamp set! Butter Fly Basics. The combinations of flowers, ferns, and butterflies is just so pretty, and then when you add the accent stamps and sentiments – its great for any occasion!

Here I have used Marina Mist, Pear Pizzazz and Sahara Sand to create this layered stamped effect.

Stampin' Up! UK screen divider card

The Screen Divider card is so simple to put together, as it only requires one piece of cardstock and a punch. The trick with this card is using those 4 screens!

Measurements:

Cardstock – 5 3/4 x 11″ (14.8 x 28 cm)

Score on the long side at 2 /34, 5 1/2 and 8 1/4″ (7, 14, and 21 cm)

Fold your cardstock into a W shape, then take one side of the W and pinch them together. Insert this into your Decorative Label punch, lining the edge of the cardstock up with the middle of the punch shape. Punch, then use the punched piece as a guide to help line up the other sides of the card

Designer Series Paper (or cardstock) – 4 pieces measuring 2 1/2 x 4 3/4″ (6.5 x 12 cm)

To create the stamped effect above I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock to 10 1/4 x 4 3/4″ (26 x 12 cm) and stamped my images, before cutting into 4 equal pieces
