Corner Fold HB

 Hello & Happy FriYAY!!

The weekend is finally upon us!

I hope you have something fun planned!

Today I have a set of fun fold birthday cards to share that were made for my card lady's order.

I actually had this card designed for a Stamp Day w/ Friends get together but i've put those on hold for awhile with Covid cases being very high.

I thought I would stamp them and put them together and use for this order.

My card measures 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Scored at 4 1/4.

Then I took a pencil and a ruler and measured the top of my card at 3/4 of an inch from the score line and put a tic mark with the pencil. Then I measured the other side 2 inches from the bottom and placed another tic mark. I placed my cardstock in the paper trimmer and scored from one tic mark to the other and that is what gives the nice folded flap.

Then decorate!

Card Details:

Stamps: Art Gallery

Ink: Pretty Peacock, Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz

Cardstock: Pretty Peacock, Pool Party, Basic White, Fine Art Floral DSP (retired)

Accessories: Square Layering Framelits, Oval Layering Framelits, Noble Peacock Rhinestones, Pool Party Sheer Ribbon, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I hope she likes these....something different for her!

Darling Donkeys

 Hello & Happy Sunday!

Hope your all having a nice weekend!

The sun is shining here brightly but don't let that fool you.....it's very cold!

Yesterday our high temp only got to the mid 20's and today it's to be low 30's. 

Tomorrow more snow & rain is in the forecast.

Today I have a cute card to share made using the Darling Donkeys set from SaleABration!

At first I did not care for this set because I have some of the older animal sets and never used them.

Then I started seeing lots of cute things done with them so I ordered them. Took me awhile to finally ink them up but now I am glad I got them! They make for some cute projects!

I decided to use this set to make a Thank You card since it's one card I really need!

I also used a fun fold called a Corner Fold which is new to me.

This style fold you use cardstock measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.

then once you burnish your cardstock you got to the right hand corner and measure down with a ruler to 3 1/2 and make a tic mark with a pencil. Then the top from the corner over you measure 3 1/2 and make another tic mark. Then you put the front of your card into the paper trimmer and score from one tic mark to the other and that creates your corner fold. Burnish that score mark down and decorate.

I decorated my corner fold flaps with 2 separate pieces that I diecut from the Ornate Borders Dies then added my donkey panel. I colored my Donkey with Gray Granite Stampin Blends and his face with Petal Pink Stampin Blends.

Card Details:

Stamps: Darling Donkeys (SAB 21), Curvy Celebrations (inside)

Ink: Memento Black, Bermuda Bay, Gray Granite & Petal Pink Stampin Blends

Cardstock: Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Oh So Ombre DSP (SAB 21)

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Ornate Border Dies, Bermuda Bay Taffeta Ribbon (retired), Glue Dot, Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I think this turned out to be a cute Thank You card and it will mail flat!

Hello Cupcake

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Yesterday was a beautiful day with lots of sunshine!

I sat outside with the girls while they roamed around the yard.

It's the kind of weather you wish you could bottle up and open on a rainy day!

And speaking of rain....I think for the next week they are calling for showers.

*sign* I have no words...

Anyways, to help deal with the cloudy, blah weather I have a colorful card to share with you!

This is one I designed for my Stamp Day w Friends last Saturday.

I hope it will make you smile when you see how colorful it is!

The stamp set, Hello Cupcake, is from SaleABration this year.

And that DSP is SO pretty!

I was thinking about getting another pack of it but decided not too since I have too much paper in my stash as it is!
