Woodland Themed Mystery Fun Fold

The Mystery Fun Fold this week is called a Book Bind Explosion Fun Fold. This card has a lot going on so let’ start with a step by step visual.

The front of the card is created to open like a book with a side spine. The lovely paper I used to create this card is another 6 x 6 pad from the P13 Company called Forest Tea Party. This is my first time using this collection and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Needless to say, it’s still on my table with a few more card ideas started.

After opening the front of the card, this is what you see…

Next, you flip that panel up to reveal a sentiment. Both the front sentiment and inside are from SU’s Fancy Phrases stamp set.

Then you open the bottom panel sideways, lifting up the top left panel to reveal a bottom panel where your signature can go or can be left blank depending on how you embellish it. In my case, I cut a piece of patterned paper with an image that would coordinate.

Like I said, there’s a lot going on here but I think the end result is very unique. If you would like to give this fun fold a try, head over to Jeanie Stark’s blog HERE for all the dimensions, directions and details.

While I don’t usually highlight the envelope alone, I love this one! The wonderful image is just a cut from the paper collection with 1/8″ strips of Mossy Meadow card stock.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Mini Treat Bag Gift Card Holder for Mother’s Day #tttc288

It’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday once again! This week Felicita has a fun challenge board with some unique elements to challenge our creativity…

While I was intrigued by the inking elements, I decided to go a safer route. I chose the middle row across: Tags, Washi Tape, Die Cut Shapes

I’m getting a bit ahead of the game here with a Mother’s Day project, but I only need to make one card/gift for my daughter, Emily and the elements I chose worked well.

If you’ve followed Stampin’ Up! for a long time, you may recognize the die I used to create the bag: Mini Treat Bag die. I really like the older 3D dies and continue to use them. I created the tag on the front of the bag using SU’s Scalloped Tag Topper punch. This punch was also used to create the tag top on the gift card insert. So now for the washi tape and dies…I created the flowers on the front tag and insert using SU’s Extraordinary Floral Washi and coordinating dies.

Measurements for the insert:
Berry Burst cardstock: 6 1/2 x 3 1/2, scored at 2″ to create the pocket
Floral Charm DSP: 4 3/8 x 3 3/8
White cardstock: 3 3/8 x 1 7/8 (for the sentiment)
NOTE: before gluing the DSP to the cardstock, punch the scalloped top and glue in the center of the cardstock to create the tag look. This step is optional but allows for the ribbon embellishment.

Supplies– All SU

Stamps: Layering Leaves (front sentiment), Fancy Phrases, Timeless Tulips
Dies: Mini Treat Bag, Extraordinary Floral
Punch: Scalloped Tag Topper
Patterned Paper: Floral Charm
Card Stock: White, Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss
Ink: Blackberry Bliss
Embellishment: Berry Burst Enamel Dots
Miscellaneous: Extraordinary Floral Washi Tape

Thanks for checking in and be sure to head over to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge to check out what my teammates created. Also, we would love for you to play along with us.

I’m sharing another Mystery Monday Fun Fold today on Saturday! Today’s fun fold was super easy thanks to Jeanie Stark’s directions. You can find all the directions, dimensions and details on Jeanie’s blog HERE. I really like the way the card opens, as you can see below.

As usual, I pulled a lot of different products from my stash to create this card. I’ll list the products at the bottom of the post. The one product I was happy to pull out was SU’s small daisy punch. I’ve created so many cards in the past using this punch and never tire of it. I used an embossing folder to add a bit of texture to the flower petals.

Here’s the inside…

I’ll be sending this card to a dear friend who had to make an ER visit this week that resulted in a brief hospital stay. Perhaps it will brighten her day!

Supplies

Stamps: January 2020 Kit (Hero Arts), Happy Thoughts (SU)
Punch: Small Daisy (SU)
Embossing Folder: Textured Textile 3D (SU)
Patterned Paper: from stash
Card Stock: White, Lost Lagoon, Basic Black (SU),
Ink: Versa Fine Black, Versa-Mark, White Embossing Powder

I hope you have a wonderful weekend…we are actually having a hint of Spring today!

Subtly Soft & Pretty Encouragement Card – #tttc287

It’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday and Team O has a challenge board full of lovely inspiration.

I choose the middle row across: Layering, Encouragement, Enamel Dots/Sequin

Here’s how I was inspired…

I, like so many of us paper crafters, have a wonderful collection of papers. For today’s card, I decided to use a 6 x 6 pad from the company, P13 called Birdhouse. I’m sure I’m not alone in seeing an ad on Instagram or Facebook for pretty papers and immediately hit the “add to cart” button. P13 is a company I was not familiar with until I saw one such ad and a few pads later, the rest is history!

The sentiments are from Simon Says Stamps, You Got This stamp set. They’re cut with Neat & Tangles Skinny Strips dies.

Supplies

Stamps: You Got This (SSS)
Dies: Skinny Strips (N&T), Layering Circles (SU)
Patterned Paper: Birdhouse (P13)
Card Stock: White, Seaside Spray (SU)
Ink: Versa Fine Black
Embellishment: Adhesive Sequins

We would love for you to play along with us this week at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge.

Take care,
Rosanne
