Double Pocket Fold for Pals May Hop

by | May 8, 2019 | friend, Fun Fold, Gallery, Thank You | 12 comments

 

Welcome to the Pals’ May  Blog Hop. We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects with “More Than One Score.” You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

My “more than one score” card is a Double Pocket Card.  It has a few scores and a few folds, but it needs very little adhesive to hold it together.  The added bonus is that it can be made in quite a few sizes.  I made mine today to hold a tea bag and a note card.  Of course, I used the retiring Tea Room Designer Series Paper to go with the tea bag!

Tea Room Designer Series Paper, 146894

 

I mixed and match with my products used.  I have the Tea Room DSP, which is retiring, the Frosted Bouquet Framelits, which are carrying over, and the Free As A Bird stamp set, which is new for the upcoming catalog.  One of the best about Stampin’ Up! products is that they mix and match so well.

I got this inspiration from a Splitcoast tutorial from Claudia Rosa.  It was from several years ago.  I played around with paper size until I got what actually fit the tea bag.  For an unknown reason, that was my original idea for it!

Here is the card pulled out.  I used the Detailed Trio Punch to make the ribbon hole.  It is just the perfect size!

 

 

I should have mentioned above that my card is 4 X 4.  So with the tea bag adding some thickness, it would still fit into a regular size envelope.  At the bottom of my post, along with the supply list, I will add the directions on how to fold this.  It is super easy, and I have some photos to go along.

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Don’t forget to show us some love by commenting on our creations. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, June 12, 2019 when our Hoppin’ Pals share their “Anything with Wings” projects. Don’t miss the fun!

Squash Card for InKing Royalty Blog Hop

by | Apr 24, 2019 | Fun Fold, Gallery, Happy Birthday | 10 comments

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s April Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around SPRING. Spring is a special time of year – it’s fun to celebrate the beauty of nature and to get back outside during this transition of the seasons. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

My card is a fun fold that I have not done in years.   I found one I had made in some cleaning out I have been doing and then saw one on Pinterest almost the next day.  So I thought today’s Hop would be a great time to bring it out again.  As the title says, it is a Squash Card.  That is a different name for a funky fold.  I have several different photos of the closed and open card.  Please bare with me.

Wonderful Floral Dies, 148529

 

This is the closed up look.  The card ends up being 4 1/4 X 4 1/4.  Even though it is a little thicker than a regular A2 card, it still fits in the A2 envelope.  And the bonus of that is no extra postage charge!

Here is it opening:

 

This view gives you the idea of how you would insure the inside decorations do not get folded or bent.  And Here is another of a little more open.

 

 

And the final of a fully opened card.

 

 

Can you see that you could easily add a gift card holder to the left hand side?  I was tempted to redo the entire card when I had that thought!!  Sanity prevailed though and I settled for just giving you that idea.

I used the Wonderful Floral Dies and the Floral Romance Designer Series Paper to create the die cuts and the leaves. I love the look of the leaves cut from the DSP.  The butterfly was laying on my desk from a previous project and I thought it would fit perfectly on that last panel.

This card began with an 8 1/2 X 8 1/2 piece of DSP.  I scored at 4 1/4 on two sides so that it is quartered. I then scored from one corner to the other.  After burnishing on the score lines, fold the two diagonal score lines to the inside and burnish again.  That is what makes the fun fold. Then decorate as you see fit.  The card I saw on Pinterest was made by Lyssa Zwolanek of Song Of My Heart in 2015.  You may be able to find it or a newer version.  Of course, I would be very happy to assist you in making one like this if you contact me.

All of the supplies used are at the bottom of the post.  Stampin’ Up! updated the Clearance Rack on Monday, so please check it out for some awesome deals.
