Stampin’ Up! Double Box Fun Fold for Class

Posted on October 1, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! Sunshine today – and I mean FULL sunshine. After 5 full days of rain and haze and cloud cover, the shining sun is very welcome… Today’s card was inspired by one of my teammates, Carol Buckelew. I love this fun fold – so very easy and creates a stand up card that’s fun to show off. After I made a couple of them, we made this in my card class Thursday.

Stampin' Up! Double Box Fun Fold w/ One Horse Open Sleigh DSP

I used the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP both for this card and another and in the card class as well. I love how each has a different scene. (You’ll see each of the others in the photos below) I also incorporated the Forever Forest stamp set (used on the card back) and coordinating Forever Forest Dies (for the die cut trees on the front). The circle was made using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Dimensions / Card Cuts

Card Base 1: 4 1/4 x 9 3/8 scored on the long side @ 3/8, 1 3/8, 2 7/8, 3 7/8
- DSP for this base 1: 4 1/8 x 5 3/8; 4 1/8 x 1 3/8
Card Base 2: 3 1/2 x 5 1/8 scored on the long side @ 3/8 & 1 3/8
- DSP for base 2: 3 3/8 x 3 58; 3 3/8 x 7/8
DSP for envelope flap: 2 1/4 x 6

Burnish score lines for Base 1; add DSP to long unscored end of base 1. Add Tear ‘n Tape to 3/8″ end fold under, then lay flat at 2 7/8 score line and adhere to make ‘box’. Adhere 1 3/8 DSP to appropriate panel – refer to photos. Add Tear ‘n Tape to 3/8″ section of base 2.

Stampin' Up! Double Box Fun Fold directions.1

Turn Base 2 to wrong side and center on Base 1, top, bottom, left & right. Add Stampin’ Seal as shown; turn over to right side and adhere to Base 1.

Remove Tear ‘n Tape & adhere to create box 2

Wow – almost there! Add 3 3/8 x 3 5/8 DSP to Base 2 front, then adhere 7/8 x 3 3/8 panel to panel to right of that.

Decorate front as desired. On this card I used the Forever Forest Dies to die cut two trees: one in Crumb Cake (smaller) and one in Pebbled Path. I layered them on a circle – die cut using Basic White and the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a bit of glam. See photo.

Stampin' Up! Double Box fun fold.8, back of card

For the back of the card I stamped a Basic White panel (4 1/8 x 5 3/8) using the trees from the Forever Forest stamp set and Mossy Meadow ink. The sentiment is from the Night Divine stamp set and stamped in Pebbled Path ink. The envelope was simple: more of the same One Horse Open Sleigh DSP for the flap & trimmed to fit. :O) :O) :O) Such a FUN CARD….

Here’s another and those made in the card class. All use the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP from the NLINE EXCLUSIVES store.

The students really enjoyed this class – had so much fun and were creative in decorating the card front and the back as well. Unfortunately I didn’t take photos of the back of the card :O( ugh. I look forward to see what YOU do with this fun fold. Please share photos with me of your creations!

Stampin’ Up! Simple Fun Fold Note Card

Posted on September 30, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

It isn’t raining this morning! Wheee – maybe a bit of sunshine once we have daylight. It’s still dark here in NJ at 6 AM. This card is elegant due to the Shining Brightly DSP: deep Night of Navy & Gold are just stunning on Very Vanilla. And I’ve chosen to do this on a note card size, which when folded is 3 1/2 x 5. But it could easily be done on a standard A2 size card: just adjust the front score to maybe 1 3/4″ and change up the DSP measurements. I see another post opportunity! :O)

Isn’t this Shining Brightly DSP just stunning?! I’ve paired it with Something Fancy stamp set and Something Fancy Dies for the sentiment banner. And these Gold Holly Leaves and Loose Holly Gems and Sequins add a delicate and wonderful touch. I began by scoring the notecard front at 1 1/2 then folded that back on itself. I added the Sining Brightly 1 34 x 4 34 to the front left panel and another strip cut 1 14 x 4 34 to the folded back front section. Next I added another piece 1 34 x 4 34 to the inside right so that when it closes it really is noticeable.

The Very Vanilla sentiment banner was first wiped with an Embossing Buddy to remove any static, then I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark ink and sprinkled Gold Embossing Powder then heat set. After die cutting I added the Gold Holly Leaves and the cute red gems from Loose Holly Gems & Sequins. I added dimensionals only on the left side of banner and secured the banner in place. Nearly done!

Stampin' Up! Simple Fun Fold Note Card inside

For the inside I used the Leaf Punch and Distressed Gold SDSP to punch a leaf. I trimmed it into sections and adhered the multi-leaf section in the top left and the single leaf in the lower right. I added more red gems from the Loose Holly Gems and Sequins to pull it all together. This allows plenty of room for my message :O)

Stampin' Up! Simple Fun Fold Note Card & envelope

For the envelope – very simple… I used another panel of the Shining Brightly DSP to adhere to the flap & trimmed it to fit.

Note Cards are available in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog as are the Gold Holly Leaves; the Shining Brightly DSP and the Loose Holly Gems & Sequins are shown in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Fall Leaves Theme for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on September 7, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Stampin' Up! Fall Leaves Theme Thus hop 9/7

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Double Easel Card

This is how it looks from the side.

Stampin' Up! Double Easel card side view

This is a double easel card and not complicated. There ARE a lot of steps cuz there’s coloring with both Watercolor Pencils and Blending Brushes. So… let’s start with those first.

Leaves from Autumn Leaves stamp set & Autumn Leaves Dies

Ink the leaf from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Crushed Curry ink.
With that still ink on the stamp, with various Blending Brushes add dabs of Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow. I find it best to tap the ink on lightly, especially if the color is strong.
Stamp on a Very Vanilla panel. Clean stamp and repeat process so there are two leaves stamped. You will note in my photo, one is much lighter than the other – that was intentional!
Die cut leaves using the Autumn Leaves Dies & set aside.
Die cut leaf veins with appropriate die from Autumn Leaves Dies using scraps from both Crushed Curry and Crumb Cake card stock.
Adhere to appropriate stamped & die cut leaves with dabs of liquid glue – DO NOT PUT GLUE ON THE TAIL OF THE VEIN!

Bird – Perched In A Tree stamp set with coordinating Aspen Tree Dies

Stamped this very fat robin in Stazon ink on a Basic White scrap. Stazon because it stamps so very clearly and does not bleed at all when colored.
Watercolor Pencils: Early Espresso & Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie & Real Red. I listed them this way as they will be used in pairs as listed.
- With a flicking motion, begin adding color to the robin with Early Espresso Watercolor Pencil. This is a base layer and need not be too heavy. The reason for the flicking motion in lieu of back & forth coloring is it look more natural, more feather like. Refer to the photo for where this color should be added.
- Add Cajun Craze Watercolor Pencil in the same way.
- Now add more Early Espresso Watercolor Pencil until you are satisfied.
- Switch to Pumpkin Pie and do the head & chest, flicking as you go to make it look like real feathers. Change direction of the flicking too – or… turn the robin to make the motion easier for the particular direction.
- Add Real Red Watercolor Pencil, more on the top and under the beak, still flicking making it feather-like.
- Add Early Espresso Watercolor Pencil to the beak and to the feet
- Die cut with die from Aspen Tree Dies – set aside.

The base for a Double Easel Card:

I used Crumb Cake card stock… 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 & 2 3/4; the bottom half is also Crumb Cake card stock 4 1/4 x 4 1/4, scored at 2 & 1/4. Burnish well all score lines.
Adhere the 1/4 scored area to the inside of the card base that is not scored.
Add a Very Vanilla panel 4 1/4 x 5 3/8 to the 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 area of the card base, covering the adhered Crumb Cake front piece. This is the inside of the card and could be stamped if you so desired. I left it blank.

Stampin' Up! Double Easel card, inside view

Now let’s decorate… :O)

Die cut a piece of Crumb Cake card stock cut to 4 1/4 x 5 3/8 with this wonderful open Aspen Tree Die.
Add this die cut piece to the front folded section of the card base. NOTE: you are adding this die with glue only on the lower half. HINT: I turned the die over and marked lightly with a pencil, the area to add glue. :O)
Lay die right in place over the die cut panel, place cutting plate to score line & run through, cutting that front fold section. You may have to go back & forth a bit, but only cut to the score line!
With a craft knife, cut pieces that should be removed per the die.
Stamp sentiment on a piece of Very Vanilla in Early Espresso ink. My sentiment is from the Perched In A Tree stamp set and the Very Vanilla is approximately 5/8 by 5. Adhere sentiment with dimensionals over the score line.

Stampin' Up! Perched In A Tree back side of partial die cut

This is what it looks like from the back once adhered and die cut the second time. It’s clear my Exacto knife was not quite sharp enough to make clean cuts. :O(

Die cut additional leaves using the Autumn Leaves Dies, Aspen
Tree Dies and Distressed Gold Specialty DSP.
- adhere the two like leaves on the sentiment banner with liquid glue.
FRONT section of the double easel…
With stamp from Perched in a Tree, stamp the splotches with on Very Vanilla panel 1 3/4 x 4 14 with stamped-off Pecan Pie ink.
Add panel to very front of easel section, centering top to bottom.
- Add reserved stamped leaves colored with Blending Brushes – Autumn Leaves stamp set & Autumn Leaves Dies – with liquid glue.
- Add Aspen Tree Die in Distressed Gold with liquid glue on one end and dimensional on leaf tip end. This adds depth.
- Add double bow made with Simply Elegant Trim in Gold with glue dot.
Add robin die cut with Aspen Tree Dies with double dimensionals
For a final touch… add several Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to this panel and to the Aspen Tree die cut on the top section of the easel.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Double Easel Card & envelope

For the envelope… I added Neutral 6×6 DSP in Crumb Cake to the flap & trimmed it to fit. For the envelope front I stamped the leaf vein from Autumn Leaves stamp set in Early Espresso ink. My card was inspired by Jo Blackman and a card she made in 2022.

Stampin’ Up! Festive & Fun Pop-Out Card

Posted on September 3, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning, good morning! Happy Labor Day Weekend… I have this super cute card for you today, so getting right to it.

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun Pop-Out card, front

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun Pop-out Card, inside

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun Pop-Out Card, fully open

This card could be good for Thanksgiving or for Christmas. Yes, it does have holly leaves as part of the embellishments and ond colored on the cake, but … remove the embellishments and add something else for embellishment, color the sweater a different color, maybe Pumpkin Pie and there ya go. Oh, and don’t stamp the badger.

I used Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper in this wonderful plaid for the card front and another piece of DSP from the same pack for the pop-out portion. The card base is Pecan Pie.

Cut the card base 8 1/2 x 5 12 and score at 4 1/4
Cover the front in Designer Series Paper 4 x 5 1/4 (this is Let’s Go Fishing DSP)
Using a die from Stylish Shapes Dies, place it on the card front, centering left to right, and die cut.
Add a panel of Very Vanilla 4 x 5 1/4 to the inside of the card.
Cut a panel of Pecan Pie card stock 6 x 4 1/2 and cover in DSP 5 3/4 x 4 1/4. Score on the long side at 2″ & 4″. Burnish well.
Stamp the badger image from Festive & Fun stamp set on the second panel in Memento ink and color with Stampin’ Blends Crumb Cake. Color Lifter and Real Red for the candy cane stripes.
Cut a panel of Very Vanilla 4 x 1 1/2; stamp the sentiment from Festive & Fun stamp set in Real Red ink; add Real Red strips; adhere to far left panel of this three panel fold.
Adhere this three fold panel, centering, to the inside of the card. TIP: Before adhering it in place close card to make certain it centers with the circle opening of the card front.
Die cut the same size circle as the card front in Real Red card stock
Stamp image from Festive & Fun stamp set in Memento ink on a Very Vanilla panel and punch out with 2 3/8 circle punch. Color with Stampin’ Blends Crumb Cake, Real Red, Granny
Apple Green, Lemon Lolly (bottom of cake) and Wink of Stella for the cake top. Adhere this to the Real Red Circle.
Close card front with the inside three-fold panel folded; adhere decorated circle to the folded panel in the circle opening.
Decorate card front as desired.
- I added a bow with Linen Thread and Real Red ribbon from the Real Red and Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack
- I also added these super cute holly leaves from the Loose Holly Gems & Sequins in the new Sep-Dec 2023 Mini catalog.

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun Popo-Out Card & Envelope

The photo at left shows how the pop-out card looks from the top. The next photo is the card & envelope… the flap is covered in more of the Let’s Go Fishing DSP and the front is stamped with this cute bird in Memento ink from the Festive & Fun stamp set. It was colored with Real Red Stampin’ Blends.

Fun card, right? I can’t wait to see what you create with this Pop-Out idea. So many stamp sets to choose from!

Stampin’ Up! Book Fold with Countryside Inn 12 x 12 DSP

Posted on August 30, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Wednesday morning! I’ve been a bit ‘stuck’ working with many new products from the 2023 Sep-Dec Mini Catalog that goes live September 6, and today I wanted to share a card using the Countryside Inn 12 x 12 Designer Series Papers.

Stampin' Up! Book fold w/ Countryside Inn DSP

What’s great about this fold is it can be used with a variety of Designer Series Papers, making it as masculine or feminine as your heart desires. And it’s super easy to do as well

Begin with a card base 4n 1/4 x 11 and score at 4 1/2 & 5 1/2 along the long side. Burnish well, then add adhesive between the two score lines, close the card, then open.

The book fold look like the photo above when viewed from the top.

Now the fun part is determining the Designer Series Papers to use. And, as you see, I have two layers on my card, which you would not necessarily need to do. For this paper I felt the contrasting Basic White really set off the Countryside Inn DSP. (Dimensions will be included at the bottom of this post.)

For this particular cart, I wanted ton keep the decoration fairly simple – and chose to use the Countryside Corners Dies and the new Autumn Leaves stamp set for the appropriate sentiments. From Basic White, I used the smallest of the rectangular dies to die cut the Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment on a Boho Blue strip and stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink, then die cut it with this super tiny banner die that fit the sentiment perfectly – yes, from the Countryside Corners Dies. This Boho Blue strip was added to the Basic White die cut with dimensionals. These were added to the card front with liquid glue. As a final touch, I added three Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems in Boho Blue.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the two sentiments from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Night of Navy ink on the Basic White panel then adhered it in place.

Stampin' Up! Book fold with Countryside Inn DSP, card & envelope

For the envelope I added another panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the flap and a narrow strip at the bottom front of the envelope. Done, done.

I look forward to seeing what you do when creating this book fold card – so please share.

Card cuts:

Night of Navy card base 4 14 x 11` scored on long side at 4 1/2 & 5 1/2
Basic White layer: 7/8 x 4 1/8; 4 3/8 x 4 1/8 (2); 1 1/4 x 3 (banner)
Countryside Inn 12 x 12 DSP: 3/4 x 4; 4 1/4 x 4; 2 1/4 x 6 (flap), 3/16 x 6 (envelope front strip)
Boho Blue: 5/8 x 3 (banner strip)

One of the reasons I became a SU! demonstrator is because of the coordination of their products. When I go into one of the local craft stores, nothing coordinates – in other words, reds vary in intensity, blues are not the same navy, and the same holds true for all the other colors. So if I find a Designer Series Paper that I want to coordinate matching card stock, it doesn’t happen in the local craft store. But in Stampin’ Up!, not only do the Designer Series Papers coordinate, but so do the ribbons and embellishments. If you would like the opportunity to do what I do, join my team – get an automatic 20% off every order, enjoy the Stampin’ Up! creativity experience with other dedicated crafters and get more for your buck.

Stampin’ Up! Split M Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on August 24, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to another Thursday… and the amazing Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge for this hop.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 8/24

Stampin' Up! Split M-Fold w/ Masterfully Made DSP

I found the directions for this card and it seemed a clever way of making the card more flexible – and just had to give it a try. Susan Campfield was the demonstrator and had another name for it. Here’s what it looks like open.

Notice how there is a gap between the front of the card and the back of the card – that’s the split. And here’s how the card looks from the top.

Stampin' Up! Split M fold w/ Masterfully Made DSP from the top

Directions to make this card are not all that complicated – and all the colors for the color challenge are in the DSP :O) I used Blueberry Bushel for the card base, Pretty Peacock for stamping one of the sentiments and Bubble Bath and Lemon Lime Twist are in the DSP – so we’re good.

Cut the card base back from Blueberry Bushel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
Cut the card front in two parts: Blueberry Bushel 1 3/4 x 5 12 & Masterfully Made DSP 3 x 5 1/2
- Adhere the two front panels together so they measure 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
Cut the ‘M’ section from Blueberry Bushel 11 x 4 3/4 and score on the long side @ 2 3/4, 5 1/2, 8 1/4. Burnish as valley, mountain, valley as shown above.
- Decorate panels as desired: Basic White layers are 2 1/2 x 4 1/2
- Panel 1 is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink using the Charming stamp set; Radiating Stitches Dies was used to die cut the heart from Masterfully Made DSP
- Panel 2 is a layer of Masterfully Made DSP 2 14 x 4 1/4 on the Basic White panel
- Panel 3 is the same Masterfully Made DSP pattern as the heart, cut 1 x 4 1/4 adhered to the Basic White panel. Here I will write my message.
- Panel 4 is this pretty stamp from Gorgeously Made stamp set, stamped with Pretty Peacock ink, stamped off once. Over that is another sentiment, this time from So Sincere stamp set (available Sep.6 in the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog) in full strength Blueberry Bushel ink on the Basic White panel.
On the inside of the back of the card, I used the Gorgeously Made stamp set and Blueberry Bushel ink to stamp these pretty images
Adhere the now decorated ‘M’ fold to the inside of the card front, keeping bottom edges even with card front; secure to back in same fashion.
Decorate the card front:
- The sentiment was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink to a Basic White scrap using the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set, then die cut with the coordinating Wonderful Thoughts Dies. This was adhered to the card front with dimensionals cut in half. Three Berry Burst embellishments were added from the Tinsel Gems 4 Pack.

I used another pattern of the Masterfully Made DSP to adhere to the envelope, trimmed to fit – 2 1/4 x 6.

Stampin' Up! M-fold w/ Masterfully Made DSP card & envelope

Fun card to make! I hope you give it a try and share your photos with me.

Now, on with the hop! See what creative folks we have on our team. you won’t want to miss a single one!

Stampin’ Up! Beary Cute Dutch Door Christmas

Posted on August 20, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s Sunday and a glorious 60 degrees! But what that also says to me is summer is coming to an end… and I’m sad about that. Don’t get me wrong, fall is gorgeous, but there is something about the long days of summer that I really like; dawn at 5 AM and sun going down about 9:30 PM. This card is another sneaky peek at the Beary Cute stamp set and coordinating DSP. I love these bears, their faces mostly, whimsical.

The bear was fussy cut from the Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP. I put dimensionals on him & set this aside. The next was die cutting this gorgeous die from Holographic Trio DSP using the Christmas Classics Dies. As you can see, the die has lots of detail. I did peel one of the layers off the back to make the paper a bit thinner; then sprayed it lightly on the back with water to soften it. Then I ran it through the Cut & Emboss machine. :O) I next die cut the layer on which the bear is attached – a die from the Christmas Classics Dies and from Earthen Textures DSP. I put dimensionals on this and attached it to the larger die cut, then added the bear. I cut a piece of Misty Moonlight card stock 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 and ran it through the NEW Snowflake Sky 3D embossing Folder. This will be available to customer Sep 6 in the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog. If you don’t have a Stampin’ Up catalog yet, please connect with me & I’ll get it in the mail ASAP!

Next I created the Dutch Door card base: Very Vanilla card stock cut 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. On the short side, cut at 2 1/8 to the score line. Remove paper, rotate and cut along score line to the 2 1/8 cut, removing the top front half of the card base. (Save this for the inside of the card.) And that’s your dutch door! I ran that bottom ‘door’ through the same Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder to create more texture for the card. I added the square decorated panel with the bear, adhering it just to the ‘door’ of the card front, centering it. I added three Festive Pearls in silver.

Stampin' Up! Bear Cute Dutch Door inside

I cut a length of the Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP 2 x 5 3/8 and adhered it to the top half of the inside card base. The removed Very Vanilla panel to make the dutch door, was cut down to 2 x 5 3/8. I stamped this cute bear in Misty Moonlight ink using the Beary Cute stamp set. I adhered this to the inside of the card and worked on the sentiment. On a scrap of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink using Beary Cute stamp set. I angled the ends, added dimensionals and attached it in the center of the card. I added three Festive Pearls in silver.

Stampin' Up! Beary Cute envelope back flap

For the envelope: more of the same pattern from Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP for the flap trimmed to fit; and this adorable bear stamped across the envelope front in Misty Moonlight ink using the Beary Cute stamp set.

OK, I mentioned these stamps and dies will be available Sep 6 via the Mini 2023 Sep-Dec catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Z-Fold Pop Up Card w/ Gorgeously Made

Posted on August 16, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Wednesday morning! We took our walk early this morning and it was sprinkling just a bit – and you know what, it was refreshing. :O) But you aren’t here for that… I have a really F-U-N card for you today.

Stampin' Up! Z-Fold card w/ Gorgeously Made

What I like about this card: colors, three dimension, texture and fun fold! All these wrapped up in one :O) I used Masterfully Made DSP for each of the panels; Gorgeously Made bundle for the die cuts and sentiment; Adhesive-Backed Sequin Trio Pack and Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack; and Vellum. The card base is Berry Burst. Here’s a view from the top.

Stampin’ Up! Delightfully Eclectic Fun Fold

Posted on August 7, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

I am so excited to share this Fun Fold with you… it’s called a springboard fun fold and it’s from Susan Campfield, a SU! demonstrator.

Stampin' Up! Delightfully Eclectic Springboard fun Fold card & envelope

Let me show you what it looks like ‘open’ and from the top.

Stampin' Up! Springb oard fun fold from the top

The photo at far left shows the completed card sort of lying open. The next photo shows an incomplete card from the top. The ‘springs” are on the additional accordion or z-fold of the card. And, here you can see one of the ‘springs’. The springs make the card a bit bouncy, which is fun. In the photo at left, the sentiment on the inside is also on a ‘spring’. Directions… oh, you want them, do you? :O)

Directions:

Card base is 4 1/4 x 5 12 – (here I used Petal Pink)
Layer 2 is same color of card stock cut 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 scored at 2 3/4 and 4 1/8. The first fold is mountain and the next is valley. Burnish.
Cut a piece of DSP (here I used Delightfully Eclectic DSP) 1 1/8 x 4 and adhere to the left side of the card base, giving about a 1/4″ edge.
Adhere Layer 2 so it is centered on the card base itself, giving about 1/8″ edge to the DSP
Add a strip 1 1/8 x 4 to the card base on the right side, not overlapping Layer 2.
HINT: the 1 1/8 x 4 strips could be an embossed panel or DSP
Time to make the ‘springs’:
- cut 3 pieces 3/4 x 3 1/2 and score each the same: 3/4, 1 1/8, 1 1/2, 2 1/4, 2 5/8, 3. Each strip will look as though there are 2 m’s. Burnish.
- add tear n tape to the inside on the short end
- adhere over longer end slipping longer end to the fold line. Refer to photos

Stampin' Up! Springboard fun fold, springs.1

Stampin' Up! Springboard fun fold spring.2

Stampin' Up! Springboard fun fold spring together

These end up looking like m’s adhered together :O) Attach 2 of these to the 2 1/8 end of Layer 2 so they are about 1″ from top & bottom of panel.

Stampin' Up! Springboard fun fold, springs attached

Now it’s time to put the rest of the card together.

Cut a piece of Delightfully Eclectic DSP 4 x 4 and adhere to a piece of card stock 4 1/4 x 4 1/4. My larger piece is Basic White.
Without removing tear n tape on the two springs, place this front on the card base, centering it. Now you know it’s placement, attach to springs.

To complete my card front, I pulled out my Beautiful Balloons stamps and dies. On a piece of Basic White I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink and die cut it with this very fun banner die from the Beautiful Balloons Dies. I added a length of Petal Pink ribbon from the Ribbon Combo Duo pack and attached it to the front panel with dimensionals. Notice the small stars on the banner? They were from die cutting the banner – I used my Crushed Curry marker to color them and with a dot of liquid glue added them below the sentiment. As an afterthought I added Wink of Stella to each star for a bit of sparkle. I thought it added the perfect touch. :O)

Now let’s complete the inside:

Stamp the daisy from Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Petal Pink ink. Die cut the daisy with the appropriate Cheerful Daisy Dies.
Die cut the daisy center using the Cheerful Daisy Dies from a piece of Crushed Curry and add to the daisy center.
Stamp the sentiment from Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on a Basic White piece. Die cut with the pretty banner die from Cheerful Daisy Dies. Adhere die cut daisy to the banner with liquid adhesive.
There is one more ‘spring’… attach it to the back of the banner, centering it. Add this to the inside of the card so that when the card is closed, the banner with the daisy does not show.

I also added a piece of 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 Basic White card stock above the daisy banner so I could write my message on it. This was such a fun card to create! I enjoyed making the fun fold and the springs add a fun touch of bouncy & lightheartedness.

OK, the envelope, which I kept easy, I stamped the daisy in Petal Pink ink using a stamp from, what else, Cheerful Daisies stamp set. The center is stamped in Crushed Curry ink using Cheerful Daisies stamp set. I used my Calypso Coral marker to add a few whimsical dots.

Stampin' Up! Mini September - December 2023 Catalog

Stampin’ Up! Hey Chuck Fun Fold

Posted on August 5, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello Saturday! We had a couple of days of wonderful temps and now we are back to humidity. Ugh. Well, this is summer and I’m not going to wish it away! Let’s take a peek at my card for today.

I’m going to confess, I don’t know the name of this fun fold and it needs a name. Help me out here, folks – let’s name it! The card base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 2 1/2, 3 3/4, 6 3/4 and 8 1/4. Burnish the folds in an accordion style: mountain, valley, mountain, valley.

Stampin' Up! Hey Chuck Fun Fold top view.

I used Gray Granite for my card base. The next layer is Basic White with a layer of DSP: I used Subtles and Neutrals 6×6 DSP. How these layers are attached is important: leaving a border of the card base in each case.

In the first photo, the card base border is about 1/4″ on the left, top & bottom, with the excess free. In the second photo the same is true, 1/4″ from scoreline on left and 1/4″ top & bottom b order. The final panel is smaller and the layer is Pool Party with Subtles 6×6 DSP in Pool Party.

Now let’s decorate each panel:

Panel 1: The circle is die cut from Pool Party using the Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered in the center. The chicken and skateboard (from Hey Chuck stamp set) are stamped in Memento ink on Basic White and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Gray Granite, Lemon Lolly and Pecan Pie (skateboard). Both were die cut with the Hey Chuck Dies, dimensionals added and adhered to the center of the circle. The sentiment is also from Hey Chuck stamp set and stamped in Memento ink then die cut with the Gorgeously Made banner die and added with dimensionals. Three Glossy Dots Assortment in Daffodil Delight were added for sparkle.
Panel 2: Subtles 6×6 DSP in Gray Granite to the Basic White panel. Die cut the rising sun from Lemon Lolly card stock using the Hey Chuck Dies and color with a bit of Dark Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends. Stamp the fence from Hey Chuck stamp set on a scrap of One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 DSP (ONLINE EXCLUSIVES) in Memento ink and die cut with die from Hey Chuck Dies. Adhere the fence with dimensionals then slip the rising sun behind adhering with liquid glue. The final step for this panel is the sentiment stamped in Memento ink using the Hey Chuck stamp set.
Panel 3: Pool Party card stock with Subtles 6×6 DSP in Pool Party layered together. The birthday cake from Hey Chuck stamp set is stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Lemon Lolly, Pool Party and Wink of Stella on the icing. This was die cut with the smallest circle die from Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered with liquid glue. The sentiment banner was stamped on Basic White using another stamp from Hey Chuck stamp set and Memento ink. It was die cut with a banner die from Nested Essentials Dies, dimensionals added to the back and attached. The ribbon is Grosgrain Ribbon in Pool Party added under the banner with glue dots. Three Glossy Dots Assortment in Pool Party were added to the banner for more sparkle… and the card was done.

Stampin' Up! Hey Chuck
Fun Fold card & envelope

For the envelope… more Subtles 6×6 DSP in Pool Party was added to the flap and trimmed to fit. Another chicken from Hey Chuck stamp set was stamped in Memento ink on the envelope front and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly and Gray Granite. HINT: When coloring with Stampin’ Blends on an envelope, always slip a heavy card stock inside to prevent color bleeding through to the back of the envelope. :O)

Fun, bright card, right? Ok, what else is going on in the Stampin’ Up! world…
