Hand Stamped Sentiments #98 - Unique Folds





This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we are working with Unique Folds. Grab those bone folders, score pals and you tube tutorials and come and get your crease on with the rest of the design team!


 I found this lovely fancy fold HERE and thought it was perfect to showcase this beautiful Sale -A- Bration DSPaper and ink up my Valentine, You are Loved stamp set for the first time...a little sneak peek so so speak!


For my inside fancy fold, I cut the floral DSP the same as my card 8-1/2"X5-1/2" and then
scored at 2-1/8", 4-1/4" and 6-3/8" 
with my Bigz Clear Circle Die, I was able to see where it would cut on my page, so I lined it up and ran it through my Big Shot. 
I used a smaller piece of cardstock for the inside of my card where I stamped the Happy Valentines Day and scored that down the middle before inserting it onto my card. Then I adhered the top fancy folded piece and added the borders for a little bit of striped fun!

Since my card was a little thicker than normal and kept popping open, I attached some ribbon to tie it closed and then fancied up the front of my card.

Twisted-Fold Man Birthday


This week over at Our Creative Corner, they are holding a "fancy folds" challenge...I scoured the internet, SCS, SU! and finally found exactly my kind of card on YouTube! With the FAB tutorial HERE



I paired my fancy fold with the colors over at the ColourQ design blog 


and this is my manly soaring result. I love how all the colors came together so well on the card, at first I wasn't so sure and they seemed more in the 'guy' realm then the 'ladies', which is why I went all guy on this card...

For my clouds, I punched both scallop punches with a piece of heavy cardstock, set them on top of my white and then sponged around them. When I removed them, I had nice happy white spaces on my paper. The airplane has been cut out and popped up as well. And isn't that Cherry Cobbler Embossing Powder just lovely?

Stamps - Need For Speed
Paper - Island Indigo DSP, Island Indigo, Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White and Soft Suede
