Facebook Live Replay - Simply Leaves

 I have a simple fun fold to share today which was my Facebook Live on Monday. I don't mind doing fancy folds but I like them simple. For this week's Zig Zag Card, I found a great way to do just that.

Here is a close up of the card:

Project Recipe:

STAMP SETS: Simply Leaves

INK: Cajun Craze, Crisp Cantaloupe, Golden Glow

PAPER: Cajun Craze Base & Layers, Delicate Designs DSP, Wood Grain DSP

ACCESSORIES: Seasonal Cheer Emboss Folder-Leaves, Dimensionals, Metallic Gems, Gold Foil and Classic Greeting Hot Foil System and Dies

CUTTING & SCORING:

• Cajun Craze Base 5 1/2" x 11" Score at 4 1/4" & 8"
• Delicate Designs DSP 4" x 5 1/4"

• Crisp Cantaloups (Two Tone) 2 3/4" x 3" (Cut 2)
• Wood Grain DSP 3 1/2" x 5 1/4"

Following the video, create 2 Templates for the Woodgrain & Crisp Cantaloupe, it made the cutting so much easier. The larger Template is 5 1/4" x 3 1/2 with the right corner from the 5 1/4" to the 3 1/2" mark. The smaller Template is 3" x 2 3/4" and the right corner cut from 3" to 2 3/4".

Here is the video for your viewing pleasure:

I hope that you enjoyed this simple fun fold and video. If you happen to make a card using the instructions above, let me know by sharing it with me.

Stampin' Up! Creative Challenge - July Online Exclusives

 

Creative Challenge: Use Products from July Online Exclusives

This month’s Creative Challenge is to create a project using products from July Online Exclusives. For our project, we selected the Framed Violets Bundle to create a thoughtful Take Care card. Here’s how to recreate it: Score a piece of 7" x 5" (17.8 x 12.7 cm) Crumb Cake Cardstock at 3-1/2" (8.9 cm) and fold it in half to create a 3-1/2" x 5" (8.9 x 12.7 cm) card. Stamp the frame in Pecan Pie ink on Very Vanilla Cardstock and die cut it. Use masking paper to cover the center of the frame while stamping the texture image on the frame. Die cut the violets, stems, and leaves from Very Vanilla Cardstock and color them using Stampin’ Blends. Add a small piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock behind each flower so it peeks through the center. Stamp the sentiment in Pecan Pie ink on Very Vanilla Cardstock and cut it out. Tie a Linen Thread bow and assemble the card.
