Good Morning Fellow Stampers :-)
Here we are . . . a bright Monday morning. We're crisp and cold here today after a big snowstorm throughout the day yesterday. I have about 10 inches of snow outside my home; but in Colorado that comes and goes so quickly, we're hardly know it was here in a couple of days -- LOL
I'm having some fun today with another "fun fold" card. This one is a "simple" accordian fold. There are many different accordian folds out there. I am pleased to showcase this one today as it is simple and easy to put together; and that is sometimes just what you need when you want something special, but don't have time for a complicated "fold."
And, we are going to do lots of playing this week in preparation for Valentine's Day. So I hope you are ready to play with Cupid's hearts !! 😍
Today's "fancy fold" is cut from Thick Very Vanilla cardstock, 11" x 4-1/4". Score at 2-3/4", 5-1/2", and 8-1/4" to create 4 even sections. The sections are going to measure 2-3/4" x 4-1/4" each. So the Powder Pink cardstock mat, and the Bundle of Love Specialty Designer Series Paper will each be cut an 1/8" smaller for each layer (i.e., Powder Pink - 2-5/8" x 4-1/8"; DSP 2-1/5" x 4"). I then cut each letter from Gold Foil; then I sized the Oval Stitched Shape Framelit I wanted against the letter and cut those in Very Vanilla; and then in turn a Scalloped Oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits, cut in Gold Foil again. Once these were set in each section, I had some fun with "decorating."
I wrapped a "faux" bow on the front panel in a bright pop of Berry Burst.
Then used the Painted Love Gold Foil Stickers as easy accents for the "pink" panels.
In turn, I cut hearts from Painted With Love Specialty Designer Series Paper using the cute hearts from the Lots to Love Box Framelits, to accent the vanilla and gold panels.
On the very last panel I added a special sentiment in Powder Pink classic ink - also from the Sure Do Love You stamp set and framelits.
Pearls are the finishing touch to this design - as always! 😉
When it's all folded up, the size is 4-1/4" x 2-3/4". A really cute fun size that you can easily slip into an envelope - or make a special envelope for using our Envelope Punch Board.
I hope you have enjoyed today's Mix-It Up Monday project. This is a fun design that you can use different colors and papers and get so many different options (I can see making a "masculine" card with the right colors and papers with this one). Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday - and as always, I'm only an email away if you have questions.
Until Next Time . . .
