A Fun Fold Card That's Easy to Learn

 

This is called a Side Fold Card and it's simple to create.  The card base is Soft Succulent 11" x 4-1/4".  Score on the long side at 5-1/2" & 6-3/4".  The narrow section gets glued together so you're left with what's basically a square card design that fits into a standard envelope!

I CASE'd (Copy And Selectively Edit) this card from Mary Deatherage.  She used some different colors, vellum, twine & ribbon (which I don't get along with very well, lol).  But the basic design is the same!

The rich red color is Cherry Cobbler.  The leaf sprigs are stamped in Pear Pizzazz and Evening Evergreen.  The pine cones are a 2-step stamp, the first layer is Crumb Cake ink on the same color cardstock; the second layer is Early Espresso.  All the stamps, dies and papers on this card are from the Painted Christmas Suite; the embossing is done with the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder.

Here are the supplies used to make this card:

Peaceful Christmas Paper Pumpkin - Alternative Ideas Part II

 Here are some more alternative ideas for the fabulous Peaceful Christmas Paper Pumpkin kit:

Added a garland cut with Stampin' Up Christmas Tree Dies!

Added a gold foil mat & deer die-cut (Detailed Deer Dies, retired)

Added embossing created with Stampin' Up Wintry 3D Embossing Folder plus one of the Wonderful Snowflakes (#156340).

Snowflake background and sentiment are embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder.  Cut the row of trees with the Evergreen Border Punch.  I used Snowy White Velvet Sheets for a little added texture.

Sentiment is embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder on a Basic Gray oval.  Deer (Detailed Deer Dies, retired) are embossed with Shimmer White Stampin' Emboss Powder (retired color).

Added a Basic Black mat & oval to coordinate with the plaid, plus some Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Hope you've enjoyed these ideas!

Peaceful Christmas Paper Pumpkin - Alternative Ideas Part I

 The October 2021 Paper Pumpkin kit has to be one of my favorites of all time!  Here are some ideas I came up with for alternative ways to use this kit.

The card bases in this kit are printed on the front and back.  I began by cutting all of the card bases in half, doubling the number of cards this kit makes from 10 to at least 20.  This one has a mat cut from Real Red on a Basic Gray card base.  Good card for an OSU fan!

On this one, I added a white snowbank (Stampin' Up Snowy White Velvet Sheets) and some polar bear die-cuts (Stampin' Up Snow Globe Dies, retired).

This one is for The Paper Players Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge:  PP565.  I'm using foil (snowflakes on the gray paper), patterned paper and die-cuts.

The card base is created with Thick Basic White cardstock.  Trimmed 3/4" off the right edge and die-cut using Stampin' Up Scalloped Contours Dies.  Trimmed 1" off the right edge of the printed card front and die-cut.  Red & black checked patterns are from SU Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper (retired).

Stop back later this week for more ideas!
