Fancy Fold card with Lots of Labels

Hello Crafters,

Today I am featuring the Lots of Labels framelits to create this Fancy Fold card inspired by Dawn Griffith. I love to try different fancy folds and this one we did in my class on Saturday and the ladies loved it, although at first took fright wondering if it was going to be difficult to create!

I’m also using my favourite Designer Series paper, Delightful Daisy. #cutitnothoardit

I added a piece of ribbon to the left of the label die, which is an addition to the original creator. I just thought it helped show that is where to pull to open this style of card.

Circle Fancy Fold card

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a circle fold card. I had seen one on a Facebook page that I am a member of, but there were no instructions, so I went about creating my own.

I started by die cutting the large scallop circle framelit from Lost Lagoon card stock and folding it in half. Then I die cut a smaller circle from the 2014-2016 In Colour DSP stack.

I then die cut smaller circles again out of Lost Lagoon and Whisper White and adhered these together and then onto the bottom fold of the card.

The next step was die cutting all the leaves and flowers using the Botanical Builder Framelits with Lost Lagoon, Mint Macaron, Blushing Bride and So Saffron card stock, glued them together. I added some with dimensionals.

Lastly, I added Wink of Stella to the centres of the flowers, I think you can see it in the photos?! I also added some basic pearls to 2 of the smaller flowers.

Isn’t this different? I love trying new things and not just our usual A5 cards all the time, but it still fits into our C6 envelopes….bonus!

And here is another one I made in black, white and the brights!

Origami Star card

Dear Crafters,

I am posting this early today, as I’m on my way to the airport for a mini break in Queensland for a few days, but don’t fear, you will still be hearing from me!

Today, I share a fancy fold card, called an Origami Star Triangle card. Yes it does look rather fancy, but it is actually quite simple to create.

Here it is closed and then opened up!

Origami Star Triangle Fold card #stampinup     Origami Star Triangle Fold card #stampinup

It’s quite simple as long as you follow the steps on closing it in the correct order.

Firstly close up the bottom right hand side, then the left and then the top folds down and the RHS slips underneath.

I added the DSP to the front and the back so when the star is closed, you get that gorgeous pattern.

I die cut some stars and mounted them to the finished card, being careful to only have the dimensionals on the upper LHS of the star so it only sticks to the top flap of the triangle!
