Welcome to my Mystery Monday Stampin’! I hope you are ready for a fun creative challenge! One of the wonderful things I love about mystery stamping is you use what you have! Are you ready to choose your creative adventure and solve this week’s mystery? Grab your supplies, follow the clues, and see what your finished card looks like at the end — it’s always a fun surprise!
CLUE #1 -Gather your supplies! *You will be making a portrait style fun fold card.
- Cardstock – 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 , 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 *Can be same or different
- Designer Series Paper– 4 @ 2 x 5 3/8(H), 2 5/8 x 4 1/8 (H), extra for envelope (*optional)
- Basic White Cardstock – 2 5/8 x 4 1/8(H), plus extra to stamp focal image
- Envelope
- Stamps
- Ink
- Adhesive
- Ribbon/Embellishments of choice (optional)
- Tools – Trimmer/Score Board, Bone Folder
- *Optional – coloring tools, die cut/punch, Cut & Emboss Machine
CLUE #2
Score the 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 cardstock @ 2 1/8, 4 1/4, 6 3/8. Fold & burnish the score lines (mountain, valley, mountain fold).
CLUE #3
Add the four 2 x 5 3/8 DSP strips to each of the panels.
CLUE #4
Score the 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 cardstock @ 2 3/4, creating two even sections. Fold and burnish the score line in a mountain fold.
CLUE #5
Adhere the 2 5/8 x 4 1/8 DSP to the left section. Create a focal image and adhere to the left section.
CLUE #6
The 2 5/8 x 4 1/8 White cardstock is used for your sentiment or written message. *Stamp prior to adhering to the right section.
CLUE #7
Attach front panels to the card: With the larger card base folded on itself (accordion style), add the front section. *I used my grid paper to make certain the finished card was no wider than 4 1/4″, so it would fit in the standard A2 envelope. Center along the top and bottom and adhere one side down, then the other side.
CLUE #8
Does your card need anything else? Embellishments, etc.? Add that now.
CLUE #9
Decorate your envelope (stamp/emboss/add DSP) to coordinate with your card.
Have fun creating! I can’t wait to see what you create! Take a photo of your card and send as an attachment to my email (j.stark@goeaston.net). Feel free to reach out if you need help or have questions.
