Fun Fold Friday - Gatefold

Welcome to another edition of fun fold Friday - today’s card features the Gatefold Card with a simple front flap.

Inspired to share this oldie but goodie by the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge whose front two panels that reminded me of a gate fold. #AHSC696

As You See It Challenge - hastened handicrafts speed challenge to make a crafting card in under 10 minutes - I chose to share this crafting fold is its awesome because it is both a quick, easy design but it’s stunning none the less! #AYSI379

This project got inky with the Made with Love DSP, Traditional Labels stamp, Stylish Shapes dies, Seasonal Cheer embossing folder and Red & White Peppermint embellishments 

Measurements are on the image:

Fun but quick and easy Merry Christmas

 

I just love the little red & white peppermint embellishments. Gatefold card designs stands and fits in a standard A2 envelope.

Happy Stampin’

Fun Fold Friday - Double Triangle Fold

Welcome to another edition of Fun Fold Friday. Today I  playing with the Double Triangle Fun Fold inspired from the Pampered Stamper.

My colour palette was inspired by last week’s TGIF challenges colour palette of Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist and Black.

I’m getting inky with the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP, Phrases & Frames bundle, Antique Pearls, Coastal Cabana marker and Lemon Lime Twist blends. Unbranded Silver Metallic twine.

Measurements courtesy of The Pampered Stamper.

Such a striking colour combo! I have had a lot of designer series paper love affairs over the years but I think that this Artisan Sketched Garden DSP has topped the charts! The striking black and white patterned sides and the fantastic florals on the opposite side just da bomb diggedity! 

Still able to stand for display a regular card if desired.

Happy Stampin’

Fun Fold Friday

Welcome to another edition of Fun Fold Friday. Today’s card is a Modified Gatefold from a recent fun fold card swap with the Stamp2Create team members.

This fun fold design features the Peaceful Garden suite from the holiday catalog. Definitely a keeper set for me as so many versatile themes it can be used for. 

Love the doves in this suite - they truly live up to their peaceful name vibes … great for wedding projects, baptism, first communion, sympathy, Christmas.

Fancy & Funky Fun Fold Friday

Welcome to another edition of Fancy & Funky Fun Fold Friday.

Today’s card is a swing front fold card I saw on Facebook from Stamp with Laurie - a fun way to create a unique swinging focal point for your card design.

My colour palette is inspired by over at AAA Colourful colour themed challenges Colour board #23 - this Blue floral mood board was a perfect push to get my new True Blue Floral DSP out and play with it! 

I am playing with goodies from my January preorder. The Fragrant Layers bundle from the online exclusive, the December product of the month True Blue florals DSP featuring Balmy Blue and Night of Navy colour palette, Opal Round embellishments and coordinating Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Old Olive blends for my coloured card design.

Video of Assembly

A tip from my mistake - make sure to glue your front focal layer on the correct side of the card front so it will swing when opening. So if card base is facing you - you want to adhere the front focal layer on the right hand side. When decorating the front focal layer make sure your image or embellishments do not go over the edge of the right side.
