Most Adored Book Fold Card

Hello!

Today’s card features the Most Adored Specialty Designer Series Paper, one of the free items you can earn with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. While I used this paper to make a Valentine’s Day card, you can use this paper for other occasions. I used the red and pink designs on one side of several papers but the other sides are gold foil and white. There are only 9 days remaining for you to earn this paper before this year’s Sale-A-Bration promotion ends.

Here is how I made the card.

  • Card base – cut a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score at 4 1/4 and 5 1/2″. Fold and sharply crease score lines with a bone folder. Adhere the 1 1/4″ fold section to the card base so that it opens up like a book.
  • Cut a piece of the Most Adored Specialty Designer Series Paper at 4″ square. Cut another piece of DSP at 1″ x 4″. Adhere both pieces to card front.
  • Die cut or punch out nine 1″ circles with Basic White cardstock and one 1 1/4″ circle with Real Red cardstock. I never got rid of any of the circle punches Stampin’ Up! has sold in the past so I was able to punch everything out. You can use any nested circle dies as well.
  • Stamp greeting with Real Red ink on one of the Basic White circles and adhere to the Real Red circle. I used the Love You greeting from the Season of Chic stamp set because it fit perfectly in the circle.
  • Cut three different 1 1/2″ strips of the DSP and either punch out eight hearts with any heart punch or dies in your collection that will fit within the circles. I used dies from a long-retired set of heart shaped dies. Hearts are one of my favorite shapes, so I always keep them.
  • Adhere the hearts to the circles. Lay the circles out on the card front, three circles per row, and when you like how the arrangement looks, adhere them down.
  • Cut piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″x4″. Stamp small hearts from the Bee Mine Valentine stamp set two times with Real Red ink in upper right corner. Stamp Valentine’s greeting with Real Red ink. Adhere to inside of card.
  • Cut a piece of ribbon or bakers twine and tie around card front. I used two different colors of retired bakers twine on my card.

Flight & Airy Quick Card

Hello and Happy Valentines Day!

I’ve been busy making cards and holding classes for the last few weeks but haven’t had the time to post anything, so here is a quick card I made using the sweet Flight & Airy DSP, which is a Sale-A-Bration you can earn for free with a $50 purchase.

Here is how I made the card.

  • Card base – cut a piece of Boho Blue cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
  • Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″. Cut a piece of Flight and Airy DSP at 4″ x 5 1/4″and run through your die cutting machine with the largest die from the Perennial Postage Dies. Adhere to the Basic White cardstock. Cut a piece of Boho Blue 3/8″ Textured Ribbon at 5 1/2″. Wrap around the DSP piece and adhere ends of ribbon to back of piece with Scotch tape or Tear and Tape. Adhere to card base.
  • Cut a piece of Boho Blue cardstock at 2 1/8″ x 2 7/8″. Cut a piece of DSP with bird images at 2 1/2″ x 3 1/4″ and run through embossing machine with the largest of the smaller rectangular dies from the Perennial Postage dies. Adhere to cardstock
  • Adhere to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Stamp greeting from Charming Sentiments on scrap piece of Basic White cardstock with Boho Blue ink. Run through die cutting machine using coordinating die from the Sentiments Silhouettes dies. Adhere to the bird piece with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Add a bit of bling with the Opaque Faceted Gems, which is another Sale-A-Bration item you can earn for free with a $50 purchase.
  • For the inside of the card I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and fussy cut out one of the birds from the DSP sheet with the different colored birds.

Softly Sophisticated Fun Fold

Hello!

Today’s card features several new Sale-A-Bration products. Sale-A-Bration runs through February 29. For every $50 or $100 purchase you make you get to select exclusive free items. I used the Softly Sophisticated Bundle which includes a stamp set and an embossing folder, free with a $100 purchase. I also used the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper, free with a $50 purchase. I have used this fun fold many times because it is a nice way to feature smaller stamped images as well as embossing folders.

Here is how I made the card.

  • Card base – cut a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″. Score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder. Cut off a 1 1/2″ piece from the front side of the cardstock and trim it down to 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″. You will use this strip for the embossing.
  • Cut a piece of DSP at 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to card front.
  • Run the 1 1/2″ strip through a die cutting & embossing machine with the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder.
  • Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Adhere the embossed piece to the right edge.
  • Cut a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock at 3 1/2″ x 3″ and score at 1/2″ with the long side at the top of your trimmer. Fold on score line and give a sharp crease with a bone folder. Run a line of liquid glue or adhesive along the 1/2″ side. Center this piece in the middle on the back side of the Basic White cardstock piece and adhere.
  • Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 2 3/4″ square. Stamp the leaf image with Parakeet Party ink. Stamp the flowers with Lost Lagoon ink. I decided to stamp a few speckled images to fill in some of the blank white spaces so I used a stamp from the Queen Bee stamp set and stamped with Pretty Peacock ink. Stamp the birthday greeting from the Go To Greetings stamp set with Pretty Peacock ink. Adhere to the Lost Lagoon front flap.
  • For the inside greeting I used one of the greetings from the Layering Leaves stamp set and stamped with Pretty Peacock ink. I stamped a leaf image from this set with Parakeet Party ink in the lower left corner. Adhere to inside of card and close the card so that the flap overlaps the front of the card.
  • Add a bit of bling to the front of the card. I used a few of the green sequins from the Adhesive Backed Glitter Sequins which were in the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog. They are now retired.
