I have seen this card by other names but this is the name I remember! I made this back at Christmas time, for some reason the directions for that one didnt work as well as this one. That one kept getting stuck, this one no problems and easier. I love this Cute as a Bug set, always wanting to make cards with it but I dont know who to send them to. Would you like a card with bugs on it? I mean they are cute...
So this card came up a few days after the side gatefold card I just posted. Same card but this has the addition of the slider part on the inside. Interesting! Super easy to make.
This is a gatefold card that is to the side or off-center. Nothing fancy, used Floral Charm Stampin Up DSP and Charming Day flower stamp.
Now here is a fun fold card! At least a little more challenging. It is by Laura Stranks of Creative Gems on YT. I was brave and used the good paper to just make the card without testing it first. I do have a slight error but I was able to smush it into shape. Next time I will know but I doubt anyone can tell thank goodness. I colored the stamped images on front with Stampin Blends and the inside die cuts I used blender brushes with ink.
This card was made from a tutorial by Patty Bennett. She did not have a name for it. I called it a Diamond front for reference. Super easy, one piece of DSP 5.5 x 12, score at 2,4,8,10 and fold mountain valley then fold over the corners on the front gate fold part.
This card has no name from the tutorial I followed. I made a sympathy card, the paper, stamp and die set is Lovely and Beautiful from Stampin Up. The Card with the car is for my Father-in-Law who is turning 84. The technique to make this card is so fun! I made it a few years ago and have held onto it for some reason (hard to part with maybe?) so I dont remember what the technique is called.
This is a relatively easy card to make but many years ago I bought the die set to make this. Birthday card for my friend's daughter. I downloaded the cat images from Creativ Fabrica, they are my new favorite way to use images. I have been coloring stamped images for 20 plus years with every medium known and I just don't think I do a good enough job. They dont look professional. I still do color images just sometimes these are better.
Card instructions from Laura Stranks, Creative Gems. I saw another Stampin Up demo do it and call it a spanner (?) card. This one is for a friend whose doggy went over the rainbow bridge and she is very heartbroken. She is also a card maker so I got right on it and made this.
Rather than do a card a day this post, I am going to put several cards at once this timr. The first one I downloaded and printed from Creativ Fabrica. My friend wanted bunnies and easter eggs so this is it! I was trying to figure out how to display the paper and a gatefold card worked perfect for it. The next two are ideas from Pinterest but I didnt have the same stamps and dies. I rather like them! The next one is an exact case of a card on Pinterest because I did have all of the exact supplies. The last one is also from Pinterest, I improvised on this one as well but you cant actually see the cross that is die cut and raised up in a picture unless it is pointed out. I tried to take the picture from the side to show it better. I needed a bigger cross die I believe but didnt have a larger solid one. I struggle with Easter cards so much! I want to encourage the message of Easter but everyone else seems to go for the bunnies and eggs which are cute and pretty. The inside message for these is the last picture.
