Daisy Lane Easy Fun Fold Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a fun and easy fun fold card.  I will be on my Facebook Page later today around 8pm CST demonstrating how to create this card on my weekly Facebook Live.  I will post the video back here after I am done.  This is a super easy card to do but looks hard.  It's really just a matter of layering everything together the right way.  Here's a look at my card.  

This card design doesn't take a lot of supplies and you can use some scraps that you already may have on hand to create this fun fold.  Which is a great way to use up your scraps and cardstock pieces that you may have on hand that you are not quite sure what to do with.  I love how the card has a small base that opens up to reveal the message.  But it will still stand to display for the person you are sending it to.  

And another great thing is that you still have room on the inside to write a personal message on the inside of the card.  Plus you have a stamped greeting on the inside.  I pulled the colors for my card from the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper.  I used Bumblebee, Old Olive, Terracotta Tile, and Whisper White for my card.  They all play so wonderfully together.  This fun color combo has a very vintage fell to me.  

 I hope that you like today's card.  You can download the Free Resource that I mentioned before by clicking here.

August – December Mini Catalog Paper Share

It’s time for another Paper Share!  This year’s paper shares have been a little different; because we were told before the launch of the Annual Catalog that some of the Designer Series Papers may be on backorder before hand or soon as the catalog launched due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.  That even with SU! Putting in additional orders way in advance some of the paper would not make it in time for the catalog.  But we have not had any issues with the upcoming Mini Catalog and the DSP in the Annual catalog that was on backorder is back in stock.  So, I felt confident enough to go ahead and offer a Paper Share for the upcoming mini.  So, I announced my Paper Share yesterday to my Newsletter Subscribers and I am here today to announce it on my blog and social media. 

So, here are the details:

This year’s paper share I made a few changes then past years.  You will still get the same amount of paper as in the past, but I decided to cut it just a little differently so that you can get the most out of your paper share.  Instead of people getting 6 x 6 shares of the 12 x 12 papers I am cutting them at 6 x 12 instead. 

August-December Mini Catalog Paper Shares:

In the Mini Catalog paper share you will get 42 pieces of the different Designer Series Papers in the Mini Catalog that are cut at 6” x 12” and 24 sheets of Designer Series Papers that are 6” x 6”.  So, in total you will be getting 86 pieces of Designer Series Papers in this year’s Mini Catalog Paper Share for a fraction of the cost if you purchased all the packs. 

Included in The Mini Catalog Paper Shares are the following papers:

Designer Series Paper Name		Cut Size		Number of Sheets from Pack
Heart Warming Hugs Designer Series Paper		6” x 12”		6 sheets
Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper		6” x 12”		6 sheets
Trimming The Town Designer Series Paper		6” x 12”		6 sheets
Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper		6” x 12”		6 Sheets
Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper		6” x 12”		6 sheets
Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper		6” x 6”		12 sheets
‘Tis The Season Designer Series Paper		6” x 6”		12 sheets
Wonderful The Season Specialty Designer Series Paper	6” x 12”		6 sheets
Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper	6” x 12”		6 sheets
Total of 9 packs of NEW Designer Series Paper			84 sheets of fun to play with

Cost of this year’s Mini Catalog Paper Share as listed above is only $48.55 per person which includes the shipping cost to you. 

I have two add on options if you want even more designer series papers.  Since I didn’t get to do a Paper Share for the Annual Catalog, I have that as a Add on option as well as some returning favorites that came back this year from last year’s Holiday Catalog.  The Add on options are an additional cost to the Mini Catalog Shares and are not offered separately.  So, here’s those details. 

·         Add on Option 1:  The Returning Favorites - $18.61 plus the Mini Catalog Paper Share Cost for a total of $67.16 with no additional shipping costs to you.

o   Toile Tiding Designer Series Paper – 6 sheets cut at 6” x 12”

o   Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper – 12 sheets measuring 6” x 6”

For an additional 24 sheets of holiday splendor.

All Things Fabulous Floral Card for The Spot Challenge #121

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you my card for this week's creative challenge over at The Spot.  This week we have a fun and different Sketch challenge for you to play along with.  I picked the new layering bundle All Things Fabulous to create my card with today.  Here's a look at my card.  

Here's a look at the challenge image that inspired my layout today.  You can click on the image below to see what the other design team members created for this challenge to help inspire you and to play along.  

Tips & Tricks: 

In all honesty this isn't a hard layout to do but it was a little time consuming with the stamping of all the layering flowers from the All Things Fabulous Stamp Set. I knew that I wanted to use this bundle for my card today, that was super easy to figure out.  I love florals and I love layering sets  So, when I saw this set in the 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog  (on page 121) it was a must have.  I started by stamping all of my base layers first in the lightest colors I planned to use.  

The Stamparatus came in super hand for this card.  I would place a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Whisper White on the inside stamp the base layer of each flower.  Then I would rotate the cardstock around and stamp a second flower.  So I got two large flowers on one sheet.  Then I would move on to the next color flower stamp all the base layers and so on and so forth  After I had all the base layers completed I came back with the second layering image and stampd it in a slightly darker shade.  For the purple flowers I actually had to stamp the base layer off first to create a lighter shade and then stamp Highland Heather again as the second layer so that it had some contrast.  I did change up the layering process for some of the flowers some have two layers of the same color to make it appear darker.  

Once I had all my stamping complete I had to go back and die cut all the flowers with the matching Fabulous Floral Dies.  I then used the Many Medallions Dies to cut my background piece from a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of Whisper White Cardstock which I layered onto a piece of Whisper White that was cut at 4 x 5 1/4.  This was then layered onto a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 piece of Just Jade Cardstock before adding it to my Thick Whisper White card base.  I then arranged all the flowers and started attaching them.  Some of them were glued down with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and some are popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.   At this point I thought it needed a little more Just Jade so I cut a few of the fern images from the Forever Flourishing Dies and snipped them apart and tucked them under the flowers as well as a couple of the foliage dies from the Fabulous Floral Die Set.   

To complete my card I stamped my sentiment onto a piece of Just Jade Cardstock in Just Jade Classic Ink and popped it up on the left-hand side of the card.  I thought this was the perfect place for a sentiment.
