Azure Afternoon: Fun Fold card

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instahop. You can follow us on Instagram starting  @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 6 – Azure Afternoon

This handmade Circle Flip & Pop Out fun fold card features @stampinupofficial products; Celebratory Sips 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (DSP). You may have noticed I also used this fun paper last week too, but this week in totally differrent colours.  I love how the Azure Afternoon really pops with this paper. Again, all the images are fussy cut from the DSP.

As you open the card, the circle feature pops into the centre of the card

On the inside this ‘bay window’ style feature is fun, with more patterns of the DSP and another fussy cut drink!

Here you can see the fun fold design from the top. I added some extra DSP in the back behind the fun feature.

I cased this idea from StampinNotes, you can view her tutorial here.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for Balmy Blue inspiration.

Melon Mambo: Cake Celebrations Birthday Spanner card

2024-25 blog header

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 34 – Melon Mambo

Today I feature a fun fold portrait spanner card. It is simply a portrait folding card and the two sides of the card front are cut at 1.5cm to the centre scoreline. Once decorated, add the sentiment that adheres across the cardfront, but only glued to the two side strips creating the spanner. Scroll on to see how it opens!

I have used the Online Exclusives bundle, Cake Celebrations with the Marbled Elegance Specialty DSP because it is so gorgeous!

To create the cake, I die cut the larger cake piece in Basic White and used the largest Water Painter to pick up some ink from the lid of my Melon Mambo ink pad, creating that brushed look of icing on a cake. The frosting was also die cut from Basic White crd and adhered to the top of the cake, but then I added a thick layer of White Pearlised Enamel Effects and how good does it look?!!! The banner and the cake stand are die cut in Gold Foil for more glamour! These sit on a Basic White circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

When you open the top layer, you can see how the sentiment is adhered holding the front together.

Fold up the next layer to reveal the inside where there is plenty of room to write your message between the strips of designer paper.

Today I feature the Cake Celebrations Bundle available in the Online Exclusives section of the store. I love the soft pastel colours of this card!

A Lemon Lolly card base with 2.5cm cut off the right side of the card. This strip is dry embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered to the inside right of the card. A piece of Basic White card is also embossed and adhered to the card front.

The sentiment is stamped and die cut using the Unbounded Love dies. The Lemon Lolly frame is part of the same die, which I die cut twice in both colours. Some more flowers are added.

A large circle [Stylish Shapes dies] is stamped with the cake layers in Lemon Lolly and Daffodil Delight inks. The stand is stamped in Versamark ink with Gold Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. How pretty does it look?!!! The flowers and leaves are stamped in Soft Sea Foam, Lemon Lolly and Bubble Bath inks, die cut and glued to the cake.  A White Baker’s Twine bow is added with a glue dot.
