Welcome to my ABC’s with Fun Folds series. Today I have a Joy fold card for you. The joy fold is basically a card within a card. It is all about the layers and a fun focal point. This Little Piggy is the most adorable stamp set! It will be available June 1st. I’ve been waiting for her big debut until it was closer to when you could order…I didn’t want to tease you any longer than necessary. I couldn’t resist giving her center stage on my card today.
Isn’t she stinkin’ cute?! I used my aqua painter to bring her to life. I gave my Shimmery White cardstock a quick wash with Soft Sky then I stamped Little Piggy with Basic Black ink. I used Flirty Flamingo and Sahara Sand inks with the aqua painter. It was so fast & easy…just a quick wash with the brush. No need to overthink it…she’s a pig…she likes to be dirty and handles imperfection with pride! She has several friends in her stamp set too!
I have lots of photos and measurements for you today so you can make one of these on your own. The card base is Sahara Sand cut at 8 1/2 x 4 1/4 and scored at 5 1/2. Now let’s start layering…
The Flirty Flamingo Layer measures 4 x 5 1/4. The Polka Dot pattern is from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack (retiring) but you could easily use the same patterned paper as the front. This layer measures 3 3/4 x 5. Now for the front layers…
The Flirty Flamingo layer measures 2 3/4 x 4. The DSP is from the new Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper. It measures 2 1/2 x 3 3/4. There are many fun patterns in this pack.
The Little Piggy sits on a Sahara Sand card base measuring 8 x 3 and scored at 4. The Flirty Flamingo layer measures 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 and my Shimmery White layer measures 2 1/2 x 3 1/2. I adhered this inside the card making sure to center it.
The inside layers for this are Flirty Flamingo and Whisper White and are the same measurements as the front. I stamped the sentiment in Basic Black.
This is definitely a fun fold! I love how it opens and closes.
Here’s my envelope to match with the new Pick A Pattern DSP!
Stamp Set: This Little Piggy (available June 1) Ink: Basic Black, Flirty Flamingo Sahara Sand Papers: Shimmery White, Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Flirty Flamingo, Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack (retired), Pick A Pattern Designer Series Paper Accessories: Aqua Painter
