Around the Bend Gate Fold Card

April 21, 2023 by Tracie

This weeks card is an overlapping gate fold card using the Around the Bend die set for the top flap. This flap is embellished with Brushed Bouquet Die flowers that were sponged with ink before using to cut and emboss the card stock. Unfortunately several items to make this card are being discontinued at the end of the month and some of the items have already sold out. I am still posting this card because it is the last card featured in my zoom class this Saturday and I like my customers to have an instructional sheet to go along with the zoom instruction if they choose to print it. The good news is the Around the Bend die is continuing into the New Annual Catalog that comes out in May so this card can still be made but embellished differently.

If you would like to see all sorts of new product from the new catalog. Check out my classes below!

There are still lots of great deals to be bought at Stampin Up while supplies last. Check it out by clicking on the Shop Now button.

RSVP by: Sunday, April 30, 2023

Fee: $22 plus $4 S&H

This class will include all the materials to make the cards pictured above except ink and stamps. We will make 3 of each design. The Lantern card is actually a Give it a Whirl Card so when you spin the very vanilla disc it will reveal lit fireflies. The middle card features two edging dies from the Around the Bend die cut set that gives the beautiful curve to the card front. The final card will feature a new technique using watercolor paper. You will need some water based markers and a water spritzer to learn this technique (NOTE: If you are concerned about this technique I can substitute the watercolor paper with some discontinued DSP that has the same technique without the work. Just let me know your preference.)

Flower Box Z-Fold Card

June 10, 2022 by Tracie

I made a card like this before but I have never written up instructions for it until now. I did get the measurements for this particular version from another demonstrator via a YouTube video but I did it so long ago I can’t remember who it was. There are many different version of this type of card on the internet, but what I liked best about these particular one is the inside of the box was measured to fit perfectly from front to back. There was no guessing where to put the middle pieces. In the video I glue the pieces in the order that I found to be the easiest. I do use glue dots for attaching the center two walls of the inner box and this allows for flexibility and ease of attaching it to the right spot. All the measurements are on the free pdf file below but the video (scroll down for the video) shows how I put it all together once it is cut.

The flowers in the card are all cut from the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper using the coordinating Blossoming Happiness Die cut set.

Thanks for visiting my blog and don’t forget to shop for supplies on my Stampin’ Up website.

Easy Corner Fold Card

May 27, 2022 by Tracie

Last year I made a corner fold card that a fellow demonstrator had shared with me, but it has some tricky cuts to it that can be a little frustrating. Today’s card looks almost exactly the same without the tricky cuts. Check out how quick and easy it is to make this fun fold card by downloading my free instruction sheet.

I know the new annual catalog just came out at the beginning of this month but get ready for the new July – December mini catalog to be available starting July 1, 2022. With this new mini catalog comes a new Sale-A-Bration catalog. This also means we say goodbye to mini products featured in the January – June catalog.
