Triangle Fold

Comments: 0
 
I received a lovely card from fellow demonstrator Pat Ertman which I used as inspiration for this card.  The images are from the “Painted Petals” stamp set which is, in my opinion, a must have stamp set.  What makes this card unique is the fold or opening of the card.
 
 
Notice how the flaps lift up and down?  Wondering how I did that?  I cut 2 pieces of DSP 4″ x 2 1’2″ and scored each at 1/2″ and folded on the score line.  Then I folded each corner to come own to the fold which made a triangle with a folded tab.  The tab was secured behind the So Saffron card stock and my stamped layered image was attached to the top flap.
 
I enjoy playing around with different card folds.  Do you have a favorite fun fold?

Hello Sunshine

Here’s the perfect card for any happy occasions, simply because of the color combination of Daffodil Delight, Whisper White and Basic Black.  It you ask me, it hollers “Hello Sunshine”!  Right!?!
The base of the card was run through the Large Polka Dot embossing Folder.  I stamped the image from the hostess stamp set “Bloom with Hope” and colored it in with Daffodil Delight Blendabilities.  Did you notice the 2 zigzag cuts on my layers?  I used the Starburst Framelits for the circle and the zigzag layered edges behind the Striped DSP is from the Finishing Touches  Edgelits.  The “floating” vellum tag gives a light airy touch simply with the use of dimensionals.
 


Birthday Balloons

This birthday card should make any birthday boy or girl happy with the whimsical birthday balloons floating away.  The balloons are cut out with the Balloon Framelits and then the stars are punched out of the balloons using the Confetti Stars Border Punch.  Do you notice the clouds in the sky?  Wonder how I did that?  I punched a 2 3/8″ scallop circle  out of scrap paper and laid it on the Whisper White card stock to use as a mask, then I sponged around the top and sides of the scallop circle with Soft Sky Ink.  I just kept repositioning the scallop and sponging and when the scallop circle is removed it reveals the white card stock beneath in the form of wispy little clouds.
