New Release at Crafter's Companion!

It's always so much fun when Crafter's Companion has a new release - and this one is no exception. They have added 6 new dies to the Die'sires Create-A-Card Collection - each one featuring  a sentiment and background design.  I used the Friend die and created a cross between a fancy fold card and a mini album.  When you untie the ribbon, you open the card as well as the inner folder, where I've added a photo mat. This would be such a great way to remember a fun event with friends.

Be sure to go look at the rest of the dies in the collection, and watch Facebook for more inspiration from the design team

I'm taking a little break today from the holiday cards, and decided to share with you a great card for a new baby.  This is a wing-fold card which is really simple to make, but is very impressive to recieve.

Cut the following pieces of paper to assemble card

Mist (blue)  cardstock:  5 ¾  x 12” - scored at 3 3/8; 5 1/8; 6 7/8; 8 5/8

Cut (2) from Lullaby  3 1/8 x5 ½

Cut (3) from Bundle of Joy 1 ½ x 5 ½

 

Die cut:

(2) Victorian Garden Doily Frame in Ivory

(1) Japanese Lace Oval  Angel Wing in Ivory

(1) Japanese Lace Oval in New Arrival

 

1.       Ink the edges of all patterned papers with Dark Cashmere ink.  Adhere the Victorian Garden Doily to each of the Lullaby mats.  Trim the excess from the doily frame.  Glue panels to the outer sides of the card base.

2.       Glue the three small Bundle of Joy  papers to the 3 center panels of the card.

3.       Glue the Japanese Lace Oval diecut to the cut shadow background.  Add pearls to each tip.

4.       Trace the oval from the Japanese Lace oval, and cut from Ivory cardstock.  Ink the edges.  Stamp the baby using Robin’s Egg.  Allow to dry completely, and stamp the sentiment, slightly overlapping the image using embossing ink.  Sprinkle with gold embossing powder and heat set.

5.       Adhere to the oval doily using dimensional adhesives and add bow.

Momenta Shaped Wing-Fold Card with Scor-Pal

Today I will be sharing my project that was featured on the Scor-pal blog as part of this week's Scor-pal and Momenta blog week. Of course, if you missed this project or any of the other great projects from the Scor-pal team you'll want to hop on over there and see what's been going on this week. Be sure to leave comments on each post from this week for a chance to win some great prizes. Entry deadline in 8am Monday, July 2, so there's still time.

I recently saw a tutorial for a very cool Shaped/ Folded card and have been waiting for just the right moment to try it out.  The tutorial that I used was from Marianne Skjelstad’s blog. She didn’t have a name for this fold, but I thought that a wing-fold shaped card was a good description. The Scor-pal Design Team got to play with products from Momenta this week – and I used the BFG Pyramid Pad.

First, cut your paper 6” x 11 ¾”. Using your Scor-pal, score at 3 ¼”, 5”, 6 ¾”, and 8 ½”.  Fold as shown.

Trace the shape that you want to use for your wing on the two outer panels of the card, and cut to shape.  For my card, I traced the outside of my Cheery Lynn Designs Oval Doily Stacker One die, so that it would be slightly larger than my die cut.  Ink the edges and add decorative die cuts, and patterned paper panels.

I used a smaller die from the same set for my front panel and decorated it with matching stickers from Momenta. This is the card folded into closed position.
