OSAT Fresh Finds Blog Hop January 2023 Fun Fold Card using the Framed Florets Bundle and Favored Flowers DSP

 

Hello and Welcome to the January 2023 One Stamp At A Time Fresh Finds Blog Hop!  I'm super excited to be taking some time to stamp and create this year using the new January - April 2023 Mini Catalog and the 2023 SALE-a-bration selections!  Today's card is a Angled Cut Joy Fold Card.

To me the star of this beautiful card is the Favored Flowers DSP!  The card base is a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Thick Basic White Card base scored at 4-1/4".  To get your diagonal cut, you will need to align the top front of the card base at the 4-1/4" score line and the bottom of the front at the outer corner on the blade track at the same time to make your cut.  The angled DSP is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece that is cut the same way.  I added one of the cuts to the bottom flap and the other piece to the inside of the card at the top.  The small top fold card added to the center was also Thick Basic White and measures 3-1/4" x 8-1/2" and is scored at 4-1/4".  The DSP for the front of that measured 3" x 4".  

The card opens by raising the top of the small card and then opening the flap of the angle cut.

I added a piece of the angled cut DSP to the inside of the front flap as well but that's totally optional.

Masculine Card with Brewed For You Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

 Hi there!  It's Monday and another chance for a great week!  I finally got a chance to play with the super cute Brewed For You Bundle!  It is sooo much fun!  Here's a card I made with it and I'm sure I'll be sharing a few more in the coming weeks!

The fun fold is super easy to make.  You start with a regular A2 card base but add another fold to the front flap of the card.  Measurements are 8-1/2" x 5-1/4", scored on the 8-1/2" side at 4-1/4" and 2-1/8".  My color combination on this one was Just Jade (retired),  Crumb Cake and Basic White for the cardstock... except for a very small scrap of Early Espresso!  I added some Evening Evergreen DSP.  I used Memento Tuxedo Black Ink for all but the foam that was stamped in Smoky Slate.  Of course I used one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies on the front of my Fun Fold Card.   The stitched circle is from the new Stylish Shapes Dies... such a fabulous set!

I added more Crumb Cake Cardstock to the inside to write on.  I love using a light color other than White or Ivory to the inside of a card!  The outline of the glass was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and the liquid fill in stamp was stamped in Daffodil Delight.

Have a fabulous week!  Blessings, Tina

The Spot Challenge #127 - Fun Fold Card Challenge Time!

 Hi There!  I hope your week is off to a great start.  I had a long Holiday weekend with Monday's Labor Day Holiday.  I always love long weekends!  I waited until the last minute to make my Design Team Card for The Spot Challenge.  Why do I do that?  I do love the challenge though... it's a Fun Fold Challenge!  

So It says pick your favorite fun fold.. I don't know that I have a favorite.  The one I used today is sometimes called a joy fold or a flip fold.  

Here's a look at the inside..

Here are the measurements for this card:

Misty Moonlight Card Base:  4 1/4 x 8 3/4" scored at 5 1/2" 

Old Olive Panel layer : 3 1/4 x 4 1/2"

Whisper White layer 3" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" 

Trimming The Town DSP 3" x 4" for the front left side and 2 3/4" x 4" for the front right flap

Stamp Sets Front sentiment:  Tree Angle 

Stamp Set for Inside Sentiments:  Itty Bitty Christmas

Dies:  Layering Oval Dies and Stitched Shape Dies  

I totally cheated and used the Houses and Trees from the Trimming The Town DSP for this card.   It just seemed silly to stamp and color the houses and trees when I could just cut directly from the DSP..... right?  Even though the dies coordinate with the DSP images, I just fussy cut them since they are super easy shapes with straight lines, etc.  When I decided to use the ovals, I pulled out my brand new Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine and let me tell you, it is SWEET!  It was so easy to run through and it cut beautifully!  I'm so excited.  I can't believe I waited this long to use it!  I was late to the party with the Trimming The Town Suite and it is absolutely beautiful!  I'm so glad I jumped on board that train!  A link to my supplies are listed below in case you are interested.  

Have a wonderful day!  Blessings, Tina

OSAT Blog Hop Manly May

Hi There!  It's hard to believe it's already the 2nd Thursday in May!  Of course that means it's time for another One Stamp At a Time Blog Hop!  This month's theme is all about the Men!  If you've already been hopping, then thanks so much for continuing on!  If you are starting with me, please make sure you continue on the hop because you'll find tons of inspiration from Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the Globe!  Have fun!

I made an adorable Double Z fold card with the help of the By The Dock Bundle!  I love Fun Folds.. don't you?  This amazing set came out in the January - June 2020 Mini Catalog and thankfully will be carrying over to the New 2020 - 2021 Annual Catalog!  I added some stitched rectangles, stitched shape dies and layering circle dies to help get this one all layered up!

You can use the small Pool Party box in the bottom right to write a short note or you can add a panel of Whisper White Cardstock to the Back of the Card to write more!

I also used some of the soon to be retired Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper to make a small Curvy Keepsake Treat Box.  The tag was cut from Crumb Cake Cardstock and tied on with some Whisper White Baker's Twine.

The Spot Challenge #109 - Not Yo Mommas Card, Sending Sunshine Stampin' Up! PDF Fun Fold Card

Hi There!  Hope you are having a great week so far!  Here in Middle Tennessee we are opening the economy back up.  We will have to see how this goes!  I'll begin to work from the office more now as well so I'm back to putting lots of miles on my vehicle again.  It's been pretty nice to have a break from that 90 mile round trip every work day.  

Since it is Tuesday, it's time for another card challenge over at The Spot.  This week's theme is "Not Yo Mommas Card".  This can be anything from masculine to a fun fold.  Anything that is not your normal A2 card.  So many fun options!  I went with a fun fold that could work for anyone!

I decided to do a fun fold card using the Sending Sunshine Digital PDF from Stampin' Up! that they released to help with the Covid-19 pandemic.  To grab this amazing give back PDF, click this image..

It is super cool that they have a list of dies that coordinate as well as the Stampin' Up! Ink Colors to match the print!

Here's the front of the card.. 

Here's a side view for you....

And here is a picture of the inside.

Details of the card are as follows:

Sentiments from the Sending Sunshine Digital PDF, printed on Whisper White Cardstock cut with Stitched Shapes Dies in Oval for the outside and circle for the inside.  The outer oval sentiment was matted with a scallop from the Layering Circles Dies in Pumpkin Pie.

Bottom layer:  Pumpkin Pie, 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"  

Back of bottom layer:  Pumpkin Pie, 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" scored at 1" from the top and adhered with Tear Tape above the score line so that the card would stand up.  (You could also, just avoid this by makiung a top folding card base 11" x 4 1/4", scored at 5 1/2").  

Z fold layer:  Balmy Blue Cardstock 4 x 10 3/4" scored at 5 1/2" and 2 6/8"

Outside flap of Z fold:  Pacific Point Cardstock cut at 3 3/4" x 2 1/4" and run through the Big Shot with the Subtle Dynamic Textule 3D Embossing Folder

Designer Series Paper: See A Silhouette (currently on sale as it is soon retiring)  1st piece is 3 3/4" x 5" and the second piece is 3 1/2" x 2 1/4"

Whisper White Inside flap layer: 3 3/4" x 2 1/2"

Embellishments:  Gold Glitter Enamel Dots colored in with Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends
