The Crafty Neuk: July 2020

Hello crafty friends. Today I am showing you an easy fun fold card. The card is very easy to make and can be changed to suit any occasion.

You will notice from the photo that this fun fold card does not have a typical card base. The fun fold section is actually the part of the card that opens. The card base simply supports the fun fold section.

Instructions

For the card base I used So Saffron cardstock and cut it at 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 ins

I used Whisper White cardstock and cut it at 5 1/4 x 4 ins. I then stamped my own background onto it using a stamp from Lovely You stamp set. I then adhered that to the base card.

Fun Fold Card

I cut a piece of So Saffron cardstock to 4 1/2 x 6 ins and then scored it at 3 ins on the long side. Folded and burnished the score line.

I then cut 2 pieces of Whisper White Cardstock at 2 3/34 x 4 1/4 ins. On one of these pieces I stamped a sentiment using Butterfly Wishes with Smokey Slate Stampin Pad and then stamped the butterflies. I coloured in the butterflies using my Stampin Blends.

I adhered the stamped piece to the front of the fun fold piece of card using Mini Dimensions and adhered that to the background piece.

With the other small piece of Whisper White card i stamped a butterfly on the bottom right hand corner and again used Stampin Blends to match the front. This piece was the adhered inside the fun fold card.

Products Used

I hope you enjoy making this card as much as I did.

This quick and easy Daisy card is great for beginners

Hi everyone and welcome to my new blog..

Let me show you how I made it and the products that I used.

Using an A4 piece of card stock and using my paper trimmer I cut on the long side at 5 3/4 ins. Turned the card onto the long side again and scored at 4 1/8 ins. Folded my card and burnished it using my bone folder.

Cut my Basic Black card stock at 5 5/8 x 3 7/8 ins and my next layer of Highland Heather at 5 3/8 x 3 5/8 ins

I started with the base card in Highland Heather and then added a layer of Basic Black, then another layer of Highland Heather. I used Highland heather Ink pad for my Daisies and then punched two large Daises and one small Daisy. I layer then together using some adhesive and left to dry while I stamped the stem using Shaded Spruce Ink. I then added the Daisy at the top of the stem. Stamped a sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink straight onto the card. To finish off I used my Stampin Seal to attach the layers to the base card. I added a little pearl in the middle of the Daisy.
