Feeling Fine with a Fun Fold!





I know a Fun Fold card isn't something knew that has not been tried before, but I just had to share this one.  It is super easy (catching my general theme??) but looks like something different.  I think of it as a great way to display Designer Series Paper and the multiple patterns.



Since I just couldn't help myself, I had to add a little color to the inside of the card.  What is it with me and blank spaces??


The card finishes up at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and will fit in a medium envelope.  

Card measurements:
Cajun Craze cardstock: 4 1/4” x 8 1/4” scored @ 5 1/2” and 3” x 5 1/2” scored @ 1/2”
Very Vanilla cardstock: 4” x 5 1/4” (card inside) and 3/4” x 3 1/4”(sentiment)
Mint Macaron cardstock: 1” x 31/2”
Designer Series Paper: 2 5/8” x 4 1/8” and 2 7/8” x 4 7/8”

Here is a quick video to show how I made today's project:






To cut the wreath, partridge and the leaves, I used my new Stampin' Cut and Emboss.  I LOVE this tool!!  It is super smooth, quite and the best part of all - it folds up into a small footprint.  This makes storage soooo convenient and easy!

Did you know, that if you make the very easy decision to sign up as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for $99, you could get the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine (seen below)

this starter kit promotion


AND

another $25 of items that you can choose !!

OR, I guess you could pay $120 for the Stampin' Cut & Emboss and full price for anything else you want to make gorgeous handmade cards.  Hmmmm, seems like a no-brainer to me!  

If it seems silly to continue to pay full price, contact me!

Just Saying Hello x 6







 I sat down to put together some cards and specifically wanted to work on my card for a Facebook Live video.  I started playing and my project kind of came together.  I did not have the intention of making a boxed set, but that is what happened and I couldn't be happier!

┉┉┉┉

I made two different color schemes - this one is Basic Gray, Early Espresso and Petal Pink. 

┉┉┉┉

This version uses Real Red, Basic Gray and Early Espresso.

To finish the box up, I used the Mini Paper Pumpkin box, adhered the same Designer Series Paper and a different sentiment from the Tasteful Touches stamp set for the front.  In an effort to keep the box securely closed, I made a label using Vellum and one of the dies from the Bundle (Tasteful Touches) and ran it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss with an adhesive sheet.  


I was able to fit 6 notecard and envelopes in the box.  I could probably fit 4 more to make it an even 10 cards.  This box set will definitely be going in my shop.  If you would like to see other cards that I have for sale, click here or click on the BUY NOW button below.

Why do I crave a Pumpkin Spice Latte?


Every time I see these colors - Cajun Craze, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla, I crave a Pumpkin Spice Latte.  And I don't even drink them!  I wanted to whip out a quick Thank You card and this one did the trick.

The Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper is so gorgeous - it has beautiful fall colors in it plus some copper sheen.


 The DSP also has great patterns that would work very well for a masculine card.  It really does cover it all!  My sentiment and oak leaves are from the versatile Arrange a Wreath Photopolymer Stamp Set.   One that I haven't really played with much - perhaps later this week.

I will be hosting my very first Facebook Live video tomorrow, September 1st at 7pm.  If you have not already 'liked' my Facebook page, you can do so here.  I would love to see you stop by and watch my video.  Here is a hint - I will be making a fancy fold card.
