It's a Fun Fold Friday Night Live!

-

 At my last team meeting, we held a Shoebox Swap, where team members prepare the supplies for everyone to create one of their designed cards. Team member Rachel Sherman shared a Diagonal Z Fold and so I thought I'd share it with you! The prints on the Wildly Flowering DSP are perfect for this and really made a simple card look extra special.



Measurements (DSP should be portrait orientation)

  • Misty Moonlight: 8-1/2" x 11" (will make two bases)
  • Basic White cardstock: 3-1/2" x 4-1/2"
  • DSP Pattern 1 (Misty Moonlight monochromatic flowers): 4" x 5-1/4"
  • DSP Pattern 2 (Crumb Cake linen pattern): 3-1/2" x 4-1/2"
  • DSP Pattern 3 (Misty Moonlight with White and Wild Wheat flowers): 2-3/4" x 3-1/2"
  • 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim (Boho Blue): 7"

Directions
  1. With the Misty Moonlight cardstock in landscape orientation, measure down 3" from the top edge on the left side and make a mark. Then measure up 3" from the bottom right edge and make a mark. Use trimmer to cut on the diagonal line that connects the two marks (align those marks with the ditch of your trimmer). Set one half aside for future use.
  2. With the long edge (not diagonal) of the cardstock on the base of your trimmer, score at 3" and 6-1/2" from the short edge. Z fold.
  3. Take DSP Pattern 1 and center it on the back (largest) panel. Slide it up so that the bottom border is twice the border of the side borders. Hold tightly, flip and trim the DSP along the diagonal of the card base. Adhere DSP to panel.
  4. Repeat Step 3 with the other two DSPs.
  5. Repeat Step 3 with the Basic White cardstock layer - this will go on the panel between DSP 1 and 3.
  6. Stamp label as desired and adhere to card front using Dimensionals, making sure it's only adhered to the front panel. I used a label from the May 2024 Paper Pumpkin because I forgot my die-cutting machine.
  7. Take the piece of jute and unravel the strands. Tie one strand into a bow and adhere to card front using a mini glue dot.

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right? Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer.
