Judy made a Fun Fold Lever card and stepped it up even more by embossing the front of the card with the Sparkle Embossing Folder and weaving ribbon along the bottom. Double WOW!!

I love the added texture and soft colors. Blues and greens look great together and are just soothing.

Fun Fold Swap Card from Susan

Stampin Up fun fold birthday card with Sheltering Tree stamp set. Created by Susan Kuenzel for Just Stampin' Fun Fold Card Swap. For more Fun Fold card ideas visit www.juststampin.com — Card created by Susan Kuenzel

Susan made a Fun Fold Lever card using the Sheltering Tree Stamp set. This card reminds me of my childhood…I always rode my bike everywhere! I love the way she carried the grass and flowers across the bottom of the inside piece. There’s still plenty of room to stamp or write a message on the inside with this fun fold design.

I love the green and red color combination with Early Espresso. The Sheltering Tree Stamp set is photopolymer which makes it easy to see when doing two-step stamping like Susan did on her card. (Click on the stamp image to purchase from my online store.)

Susan even made a beautiful envelope to coordinate. You can find the directions to make a fun fold lever card on my blog (L is for a Lever Fun Fold with Butterfly Basics) by clicking HERE.

Please leave a comment below to let Susan know how much you love her fun fold creation (especially if you are the lucky person who received this in the swap). Thanks again to everyone who participated! It was so much fun getting “Happy Mail”! Check back tomorrow for another fun fold swap card. I plan to showcase all of the cards while I am away on vacation so you will continue to be inspired!

Have a wonderful day!

L is for a Lever Fun Fold with Butterfly Basics

May 24, 2017July 16, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 10 Comments

Welcome to my ABC’s with Fun Folds series. Today I have a Lever Card for you. Spring is in the air and we released our butterflies at school today. My Pre-K students love this every year! We’ve watched them change from caterpillars to butterflies and now it was time to let them go. I was drawn to the Butterfly Basics stamp set for my fun fold card today.

Stampin Up Happy Birthday fun fold lever card using Butterfly Basics stamp set and Butterflies Thinlits. For more fun fold card ideas and inspiration visit www.juststampin.com

I decided to use one of the new In Colors, Lemon Lime Twist, to go with the letter of the day. I really didn’t think I was going to like this color but, after pairing it with black with last month’s Paper Pumpkin and now with Dapper Denim, it is really growing on me. I think sometimes it just takes the right color combination. I often get asked how I choose the colors. Most of the time I get my inspiration from clothing, bedding, home decor, magazines, HGTV, or our Designer Series Paper packs. For this card I chose the colors from the Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper. I love the way the paper packs have the coordinating colors printed right on the pack. Makes it so easy! I used the DSP to cut my butterfly from the Butterflies Thinlits. I cut another butterfly from vellum using the Bold Butterfly Framelits and adhered the two with glue dots.

Then I pulled the colors from the DSP to make the card. The card base is Lemon Lime Twist cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4. I cut a piece of 5 x 6 Very Vanilla for the inside and scored it at 2 and 4. I used the Layering Squares Framelits to cut a square out of the front of my card.

I also used the Layering Squares Framelits to cut 3 squares the colors of my butterfly. I stamped the top layer using the fern from the Butterfly Basics Stamp Set and Lemon Lime Twist Ink. I stamped the inside and front of my card using sentiments from this set and Dapper Denim Ink.

Next, I applied adhesive to the back of the inside sentiment panel only and adhered it to the inside of the card. Then I closed the card and applied adhesive just where the inside piece peeks through the front and attached the layered squares inside the square.

I attached the butterfly with some glue dots and added a few rhinestones. This card sits nice on a desk or shelf. I also like that there’s a nice panel to sign the card.

Here’s a short video showcasing the Butterfly Basics and Butterfly Thinlits Dies. *This is an older video. She uses the magnetic plate and wax paper to cut out the butterfly die. I highly recommend the Precision Base Plate and the thin die adapter. I was able to cut my butterfly out easily just running it through the Big Shot once. Much easier with better results!!!

She made some adorable cards with this stamp set and dies and you can too! If you would like to purchase any of the materials I used on my card today, please Click HERE to visit my online store.
