Week 50 – Tahitian Tide

Welcome to our final Stampin’ Up! colour for this series, but be sure to join us again next week as we celebrate some new 2024-2026 In Colors™!

Today I feature the Everyday Detail dies which will be available from 1 May in the new Annual Catalogue. Sara Douglass, CEO of Stampin’ Up! recently did a reel on Facebook to show how she made a triple layer cake using these dies. I loved it and attempted to do one myself, so here it is!

How cool is that, right?!! By simply ripping the dies in half lengthwise and embossing one section with the Basics 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, rotating it 90º and gluing it to the top half of the diecut to create a very cool icing effect. The torn section sits behind the lower cake layer!

To decorate the cake, I stamped the image from Country Flowers in Basic Beige and diecut it before colouring with Blends Combo Markers. The sentiment is created using the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder. first inking the folder with Tahitian Tide ink, placing the cardstock on top, then the die, before running through the Cut & Emboss Machine. Such a great way to get this detailed effect.

Here is a close up showing a little more detail of the colouring and layering. I also added some Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to finish off.

Week 5 – Tahitian Tide

Tonight we showcase our fifth new 2022-2024 In Colors, Tahitian Tide!

How do you pronounce Miura? [MEE] + [OOR] + [UH]. When I Googled it, I found that in 1985, Japanese astrophysicist Koryo Miura proposed a form of rigid origami, a style of folding paper (or other materials) that allows each section to remain flat—a necessary condition for stiff materials.

I have been fascinated by this fold style for a while and it was time to give it a go!

Miura Fancy Fold Card using Stampin Up In Color Tahitian Tide for Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Australia 2022 closed

My card base is the Thick Basic White card and decorated with patterned papers from the new 2022-2024 In Color DSP pack and the Tea Boutique DSP pack. The Scalloped Contour dies was used to cut the white layer and then I used the fancy die from the Happiness Abounds Bundle to create that lovely pattern (notice it doesn’t cut everything out – so pretty). The flowers and leaves are stamped and die cut. The flowers are coloured using the Wink of Stella, taking some ink directly from the inkpad, to add some darker colour. The leaves are coloured with the Parakeet Party Light Stampin’ Blends marker. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, White Emboss Powder added and heat set with the Heat Tool. This was fussy cut with Paper Snips and added on Dimensionals.

This is the card fully open so you can see all the beautiful patterned papers.

The feature on the inside is one flower white embossed and the other stamped on white. Both coloured the same way as the front. This sentiment was done using the Stamparatus. I inked only the word ‘birthday’ with Versamark ink, added White Emboss Powder and heat set it. Place it back in the Stamparatus (ensure you clean the stamp with your Shammy) and ink up the word ‘happy’ with the Tahitian Tide ink and stamp. I actually inked it a second time (benefits of using this amazing tool) to ensure I had enough ink transferred to the card before adding Clear Emboss Powder and heat setting. Fussy cut and glue across the flowers. I love how this looks against the two flowers!

I finished the card by adding some Basic Pearl Jewels!!!

There are quite a few YouTube videos of this fold (search Iced Images or Sam Calcott). I liked how there is a second piece of card added behind so it can stand up to be displayed. I mean who wouldn’t want to display a card like this?!!!!

There is plenty of room on the back of the card to write your message! It fits into a standard envelope for posting, but it may depend on how much dimension you add, if postage may be slightly higher.

Would you give this fancy fold design a go?
