Fun Fold Swap Card from Nancy

July 14, 2017July 14, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 21 Comments

I’m excited to share the beautiful cards from my Fun Fold Card Swap! You are in for a treat with some cool fun folds. The collection of cards I’ll be sharing might not have current Stampin’ Up! products, but every card gives good ideas for color combinations, layouts, and techniques. Let the inspiration begin…

Nancy made a Twisted Easel card! I love the way this card stands up. Who wouldn’t want to display this gorgeous birthday card?! I have never made one of these (yet!). This is such a fun card! It folds flat to mail and when opened it props up against the balloon that’s popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Here’s the view from the back of the card.

Please leave a comment below to let Nancy know how much you love her fun fold creation (especially if you are the lucky person who received this in the swap). Thank you 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!

Let’s Celebrate

April 9, 2017April 10, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 17 Comments

I had an amazing fun filled weekend at the Stampin’ Up! OnStage event in Richmond, Virginia! I will be sharing sneak peeks with you just as soon as I can. (Check back this afternoon for a sneak peek at this month’s Paper Pumpkin!)

What I can share with you is the card I made for the card swap. Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators love to share cards and projects to inspire you and each other. Here are the cards I made.

I love to make fun fold cards! This one is a free standing triple panel card and not only is it really quite easy to make, it’s also useful for many different occasions…birthday, anniversary, graduation, retirement, new baby, or any event you want to celebrate. I made 50 of these (the day before I left). When I make multiple cards I do it assembly line style. I cut everything, then score, emboss, stamp, and finally assemble. Most of the time I use the Stampin’ Trimmer to score my cards. However, for this project I used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and quickly scored 26 pieces of cardstock.

My cardstock measures 8 1/4 x 11. With the 8 1/4″ length across the top, I scored it at 1 1/4, 2 1/4, 6, and 7. ThenI cut it in half to make 2 pieces measuring 5 1/2 x 8 1/4. I folded the sides back and forth along the score lines to create the panels then I embossed the ends using the Confetti Embossing Folder. I used the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies (and the Precision Base Plate) to cut the center panel from a piece of 3 1/2 x 5 1/4 piece of whisper white. I stamped the sentiment and banner from the Balloon Adventures Stamp Set using Night of Navy ink. (The photopolymer stamps make it so easy to see exactly where you are stamping.) I used the Balloon Bouquet Punch to punch the balloons from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack as well as Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay cardstock. I attached the balloons using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered the center piece to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used a glue dot to attach the bow. (I wish I had a picture of me making the bows and attaching the Stampin’ Dimensionals in the back seat of the car during the drive to Richmond Friday afternoon. Nothing like last minute! LOL)

Here’s a look at the finished projects. Which color do you prefer?

Bermuda Bay with Night of Navy

The cards fold flat and fit in a standard envelope. I packaged each in a clear envelope for swapping.

Stamp Set: Balloon Adventure Ink: Night of Navy Papers: Night of Navy, Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Brights Designer Series Paper Stack, Whisper White Tools & Accessories: Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies, Precision Base Plate, Big Shot, Confetti Embossing Folder, Stampin’ Trimmer, Simply Scored Scoring Tool, Balloon Bouquet Punch, Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay 1/8″ Stitched Ribbon, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals

*UPDATE: The Balloon Pop-Up Thinlit Dies I used on this card is retiring and is now 50% off while supplies last! Click HERE to add this to your shopping cart before they sell out!

I had so much fun celebrating all weekend…driving down and back with team members, dinner Friday and Saturday nights with several other PALS, prizes, inspiration, make & takes, training, and other events all day Saturday, and more! Here’s a photo of some us having dinner Friday night at Tarrant’s Cafe in Richmond.
