Stampin' Up! Fun Fold Cards: How to make a Diagonal Joyfold Card

I blogged this Diagonal Joy Fold fun fold card back in December, but since then I have had lots of requests for instructions and measurements. It uses the gorgeous Fancy Flora DSP from the Stampin' Up! 2023 January to April Mini Catalogue.

I have a FREE written tutorial you can download at the end of the post (with measurements in both imperial and metric), but here are a few more photos for you.

I have used Orchid Oasis cardstock as the base, Fancy Flora DSP from the Stampin' Up! January to April Mini Catalogue for the paper, and Artistically Inked Stamp Set for the stamped embellishments and sentiment.

2023 Stampin' Up! January Mini Catalogue Sneak Peek: Fancy Floral DSP

Hey friends. Today I want to show you one of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin' Up! 2023 January to April Mini Catalogue. It's called Fancy Flora DSP, and it has a gorgeous painted texture look with exquisite papers. It will be available to purchase from January 5th. This paper will be an excellent one to coordinate with many of your existing floral stamp sets too. In addition the the beautiful imagery, the reverse of each sheet has a really versatile coordinating monochromatic painted image. Isn't it gorgeous? I especially love that it coordinates with one of my favourite InColors from 2022 - Orchid Oasis.

Here's a look at all of the coordinating colours.

 

Here's a fun fold card I made with this paper, and an existing stamp set we all know and love - Artistically Inked which is in the Stampin' Up! Annual catalogue. 

I'm not quite sure of the name of this fold. I cased a card my lovely friend Sharon Davern gave me. It's nifty how it folds out though. 

I added some Wink of Stella to the flowers for a little extra. I've also used some of the new Iridescent Pastel Gems which are part of the new Fancy Flora Suite available on January 5th.

If you don't already have a demonstrator in Australia and would like a copy of the new 2023 January to April Mini Catalogue, you can request a copy HERE.

Stampin Up Wonderful World 2022 Saleabration Bundle 4 Ways

Hello friends. 

Today I am showcasing four projects using one of the gorgeous Saleabration bundles you can earn for FREE with a qualifying order during Saleabration which is on during July and August. This is one of the level 2 gifts, so you can earn if for FREE with a $180 order before postage (read all about Saleabration and see all the things you can get earn FREE here). The bundle includes a gorgeous floral stamp set, and a coordinating 12x12" Designer Series paper pack.

This card uses a quick and easy watercolour technique. I stamped the image in Orchid Oasis onto Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper, and then spritzed the paper with water until the colour ran a bit.

I've layered some of the gorgeous papers in the DSP pack, along with some layering vellum (love the prints in this!) and some linen thread. My greeting is from the Happiness Abounds stamp set and is embossed in white onto Gray Granite cardstock.

My second card is super simple. I just used the Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch to cut three images from the DSP, and layered them onto one of the DSP pieces and added a sentiment. This greeting is from the Potted Geranium stamp set, and is stamped in Crumb Cake onto Basic White cardstock. I have created the label ends using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch, which punches two different types of label ends in three widths (super versatile in my craft stash).

Next I created a little gift box to go with the above card. This was also super simple to make, as I used one of the new Envelope Treat Boxes (in the July to December mini catalogue) which are precut and scored. I just measured and cut pieces of the DSP to fit on the sides and top of the box (the closure is on the bottom). I also used the Tailored Tags dies to cut a little matching tag from the DSP. The Potted Geranium stamp set has some cute small sentiments to fit on the tag.

My fourth project is a fun fold card I made for my free subscriber tutorials a couple of weeks ago (you can subscribe for these HERE). 

This card fold up nicely to fit inside a C6 envelope. I was inspired to make this after seeing some lovely cards by Helen Reid of All Things Stampy in the UK. You can see Helen's version of this card HERE.

I hope you like the four projects I have shared with you today. I have one more card to share using this suite, and that will be this week's step by step tutorial for customers and subscribers, so make sure you SUBSCRIBE to receive those.

Thanks for stopping by today. Now the mid year school holidays are over I will be back to some more regular blogging. See you next time,

Claire
