Stamptastic Friends September Blog Hop
Theme – Fancy Folds
Hello and welcome to our September Bog Hop – Theme Fancy Folds. You may have notice that we have had a change of name for our group. This is due to the working collaboration between Pip Todman and Louise Sims, SUBA (Simply Unique Business Angles), has been put on hold. They are both, seperately, concentrating on their individual businesses. We are still the same group of friends bringing you fantastic project inspiration.
This month our theme is fancy folds and I have to admit that I have found it a bit of a challenge. I am a simple card maker usually, but I am enjoying participating in this group as it pushes me outside of my comfort zone. I have spent hours online looking for inspiration, there are a lot of fancy fold styles out there. I knew I wanted to use the ‘Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper’ and as I do not have the coordinating stamp set, I needed a fancy fold that would allow me to use the paterns and designs in the paper.
To make this double Z fancy fold card you will need a piece of ‘Mint Macaron’ cardstock 21cm x 10.5cm. Score on the long side, landscape, at 5.25cm and 10.5cm. Fold along 10.5cm score line to make a card base, then fold along the 5.25cm score line so that it folds back on its self. This will give you a z fold card. Cover the front with a piece of ‘Mosaic Moods’ dsp 10cm x 4.75cm and the inside with a piece of ‘Whisper White’ cardstock, 10cm x 10cm.
Cut a strip of ‘Mint Macaron’ cardstock, 21cm x 4.5cm, score on the long side, landscape, at 10.5cm and 15.75cm and fold along score lines. Attach to the card front so that the 10.5cm panel is attached to the 5.25cm panel of the card base. Cover with a different piece of ‘Mosaic Moods’ dsp. Attach the second of the 5.25cm panels to the inside righthand side of the card base. Cover this with the same dsp as used on the front of the card base. Cut a panel of ‘Whisper White’ cardstock, 4.75cm x 4cm, stamp with a chosen sentiment using ‘Terracotta Tile’ ink and adhere to the middle panel. Fussy cut a Humming bird and a butterfly from the ‘Mosaic Mood’ dsp, adhere the bird to the front of the card and the butterfly to the righthand panel.
A full list of products used is shown below.
I hope you like my ‘Fancy Fold’ card and please hop along to the others for some more fabulous inspiration.
Happy Crafting
