Today I have a gorgeous Fun Fold and am giving you two versions of it. This was a card for my Stamp Club and I couldn’t decide which they might prefer. One requires a bit of coloring where the other is minimal coloring. Just to let you know, most chose the minimal coloring!
Fun Fold
This card qualifies as a fun fold to me, and it is fun. The arches give it an Old World look that I love. Old arched doors are a favorite of mine when I am traveling. However these arches are much simpler to create.
The Everyday Arches Dies offer large arches like on my card, and smaller ones that are great for a sentiment. One of the best things about the Die set is that there are ten different size arch dies. I love the options with these. I will say that when cutting the card base it does require proper positioning and to run it through the machine twice since you are cutting through two layers. The card base is 8 X 5 1/2 and scored at 4 before Die cutting.
Second Option
The materials used on both cards are the same with the one exception. To create the pop up Spotlight technique I added another Die set. This is a favorite, hope it never goes away, Stylish Shapes Dies. I only used the one Die as I did not think the stamped front layer was quite big enough to support a double layer for the Spotlight.
Stamps
This floral stamp is the Flowers Fair Stamp. It is a large, individual, stamp. The mix of flowers is what grabbed my attention. I stamped using Gray Granite Ink and then colored with Stampin’ Blends. For the sentiment on the front I used the Banner Sayings Bundle. These are all smaller size sentiments with a matching Banner Punch to cut them out. The inside is a mix of the Banner Sayings along with the Addressed To You stamp set for the floral arches.
Extras
This card really did not need a lot of extra as it is sort of busy with the different shape, all the flowers, and the sweet sentiment. However, there must be Bling!, and a bit more in this case. I added the wrap of Bubble Bath Linen Ribbon, and a bow from it, to ground the sentiment. Then for Bling, I used Iridescent Pearls. More on the solid flowers than the popped up one, but the same pearls on both.
