Fancy Fold Friday – Double Diamond

So, a few weeks ago I asked for any requests for fancy fold cards (any further suggestions most welcome, by the way!) and one of my lovely downline suggested a Double Diamond Fold – So Kathryn this is for you!

When I initially looked at this card, I did think ‘oh dear, that looks awfully complicated’ but really its quite simple, just folding the cardstock – no cutting involved!

I have used the I Like You Hostess Stamp set for this card, coloured with 4 of the lightest Blendabilities – Coastal Cabana, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, and Pumpkin Pie. I love this way of using my Blendies – really its just line colouring, and you could just as easily use the Stampin’ Write Markers. Using the stamped image as a guide, use your markers to add lines of colour, it just gives that hint of a shade rather than going for a full blended coloured look.

Measurements:

Cardstock = 10 x 4″

Score on the long side at 2 and 8″ making marks at 4 and 6″ on both sides

Score on the short side at 2″ before turning back to the long side, and marking the card stock on that 2″ horizontal score line at 3 and 7″

Then using a ruler and stylus (or ball tool) join the marks to form a diamond shape in the centre of the cardstock – the marks at 4″ should join with the 3″ mark, and the marks at 6″ should join the 7″ mark

Fold the cardstock from the left hand side; mountain fold, valley fold, valley, mountain.

Holding the edges of the cardstock push the edges together and the card should form!

Magic

In addition to the originally piece of cardstock you will need 2 pieces of coloured card measuring 1 /34 x 1 3/4″ and a piece measuring 2 3/4 x 2 3/4″

For stamping you will need 3 pieces of Whisper White; 1 measuring 2 1/2 x 2 1/2″ and 2 measuring 1 1/2 x 1 1/2″

So thankful for you!

Hello!

I thought I would take a step away from Christmas just for a moment! To say thanks!

Last week I featured the Festival of Trees Stamp Set (still not sick of that set yet! I just LOVE it!), and had such a great response from all of you (both here and on facebook!) and just wanted to say thanks to all of you!

I love bright colours, and rich colours, really I just love colour! but coral isn’t really my colour. So, when I looked through which ink pads I didn’t own a few weeks ago, it wasn’t a surprise to me that Calypso Coral hadn’t worked its way into my basket. But all of the Stampin’ Up! colours are just so beautiful I decided to take a chance on the coral!

How cute is this colour! It’s definitely on the orange spectrum, but its so soft and pretty! and please tell me, what is prettier than butterflies and flowers! So, I grabbed the Papillon Potpourri stamp set, and I Like You (hostess set), along with our Product of the Month – Good Greetings! and stamped this card!

There are actually two butterflies here, I punched one butterfly out of Calypso Coral DSP from the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack, and then added the stamped and punched butterfly over the top with a single Glue Dot to give some great dimension!

I am so Thankful for you! Thanks so much for all your comments and orders. Check out my Facebook page HERE! and shop HERE!

World Card Making Day 2014 – Crushed Flowers

This gorgeous card is Crushed Curry with a Very Vanilla panel, the floral images are stamped from the lovely I Like You Stamp set. The focus of this card though is that lovely ribbon across the middle!

Here I’ve used the White 5/8″ Organza Ribbon. White, white! yes, White! but I’ve changed the colour with the Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker. I love this, particularlly with with the Crushed Curry marker, as the ribbon takes on this gorgeous deep gold tone. It is so lovely! This card is finished by popping that Very Vanilla panel up on dimensionals to attach it to the Crushed Curry cardbase.

World Card Making Day 2014 – Oooops!

Ok, so this is the 8th card for World Card Making Day 2014! and this one should have been so beautiful! but I made such a mess 🙁 and I though I would share it anway – we can all be perfect all the time can we?! I so wish I was Mary Poppins! Well, that was a tangent!

So, the card……

This card was going to be this lovely crisp white floral on vellum, with gold stamped sentiments – which it was, but I’m so impatient! and Stampin’ Up! White Craft Ink takes an age to dry! Like really, stamp and leave it to dry overnight! I so wish I had (yes, I could have re-made the card, but then I’d be lying to you, and that would be bad, so here you go, learn my lessons!)

And so it was taking ages to dry to I blasted it with the Heat Gun, which warped the vellum, and then I thought it was dry! So I stuck it onto my Real Red card base – Up.Side.Down! #FAIL!

So, then I cut the Real Red piece down to the size of the vellum, and of course, the ink wasnt dry quite! Craft ink goes sticky before it dries, so it stuck to my trimmer, and the gold smudged!

It was so pretty, and now its a little bit of a mess! But I still love it!

If you order through me this month you are in with the chance of receiving one of the 12 cards I made for World Card Making Day 2014 (and I will remake this one so it is actually pretty!)

World Card Making Day 2014 – I Like Navy!

This is the 3rd post in my series of World Card Making Day posts!

I LOVE this card! It uses that lovely Hostess Stamp Set – I Like You. Stamped around the sentiment, in Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, and Night of Navy. Then, the Night of Navy flowers have added colour using ink pads and the Stampin’ Up! Blender Pens – a great way to add little touches of colour to a stamped image.

I hope you are enjoying World Card Making Day – check out the products I’ve used to make this card HERE!

World Card Making Day 2014

Happy World Card-making Day 2014!!!!!!

I’m super excited to share 12 projects with you today!

The 12 cards are made from a kit of products put together especially for this event! As Stampin’ Up! are currently running an amazing Joining Deal – Pick a Pack of Paper – where you earn a pack of DSP each month for the 6 months after you join. I thought I would select £130 worth of product that you could choose as part of your Starter Kit. I have made 12 cards, each one different, and I have loads of cardstock left over, plus inks, adhesives, and DSP. For more information on Pick a Pack of Paper, and joining my team, Contact me HERE!

So the first of my cards is a super simple one layer card, using just half a sheet of A4, White Craft Ink, and a stamp! Stampin' Up! UK Night of Navy I Like You Craft White Now, I will admit that I made a little mistake when selecting my stamps – the stamp set I’ve used for the sentiments and flowers is a Hostess set. You are unable to put this stamp ‘I Like You’ into your Starter Kit, BUT you can get this set with your Hostess credits if you spend more than £150 in my Stampin’ Up! Store!
