Triple Opening Card

 I saw this card from a Demo in France (Christine Fejard) and loved it. There were no measurements or directions, and she called it a Double Shutter Card. When I searched for that type of card, it didn't look anything like this. I have directions for a Double Shutter but it didn't look like this either, so I winged it. I got out some scrap DSP and retired cardstock to experiment with. I measured and cut and worked until I got it to look like Christine's card, but I'm not sure the operation is the same. I like though! I'm calling it a Triple Opening Card.

All measurements in inches

The Most Amazing Card Layout Ever

 This layout is so easy to make and so very versatile! You could make scads of cards with this layout, different DSP and stamps, and they'd look so different! Look at the three samples below, the two on the left have angled cuts made from DSP, while the one on the right has angle cuts made from embossed card stock. Then look at the centers of the card fronts, embossed cardstock on the left, diecut in the center, and DSP on the right. 

Bundles Left to right: Nature's Prints, True Beauty, Cup of Tea 

All measurements in inches

1. Card Base: cut 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 score at 4-1/4

2. Cardstock Layer: 5-1/4 x 4

3. DSP or embossed cardstock 5 x 2-1/2, place on the trimmer on the short side. Place one corner of the paper on the 1” mark and the other corner on the 1-1/2” mark and cut.

4. Place Dimensionals on the paper used in step one so that the angles are popped up. Apply to layering piece making sure to put the opposites across from each other (skinny to fat).

5.     A 5 x 2-1/4 layering piece to go behind the angle cuts. This should be either DSP or cardstock, the opposite of the paper used for the angle cuts.

6.     The building of the card is: card base, 5-1/1 x 4 layer, then the 5 x 3-3/4 layer, and finally the two angle cuts on Dimensionals.

7.     For embellishment, you can stamp a greeting, place die cuts, or ribbon etc.

Fun Folds!!

 These are easy fun folds! The first fold has been floating around the internet for quite a while. I got it from fellow Demo Tara Carpenter, who got it from someone on Pinterest. Isn't it just the cutest thing? Both cards use the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper and the Cup of Tea Bundle

All measurements in inches.

1. For the base, cut a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock 5-1/4 x 5 1/2" scored at 1.”  Adhere a piece of Stampin' Up Tea Boutique DSP to the small flap.  

2. Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 3 x 7 then score on the short side at 3, 3-1/2 and 4.”  Fold it in half, then fold the top scored line back. Adhere it to the small flap of the card base with Stampin' Up Tear & Tape. 

3. After stamping the following, die cut all the pieces with Stampin' Up Teacup Dies.

• Stamp the teacup on Blushing Bride card stock with Sweet Sorbet ink.  

• Stamp the leaves with Garden Green ink on a piece of Parakeet Party card stock.  

• Stamp flowers on Basic White cardstock with Crushed Curry and Sweet Sorbet ink.  

• Stamp teabag tag on Basic White cardstock with Tuxedo Black ink.

4. Attach a piece of Baker's Twine to the back of the teabag tag, and then behind the teacup with glue dots.

5. Adhere the tea bag tag to the front of the teacup with Stampin' Dimensionals.

6. Adhere the flowers and teacup to the 3 x 7 White card front with liquid adhesive. 

7. Embellish the front with enamel dots.  

8. Apply Tear & Taper to the top of the 3 x 7 card front (between the score line and the folded edge. Then apply it to the back of the flap on the Sweet Sorbet Card Base, making sure to center it and allow room to open the white folded card.

9. To attach a piece of DSP 5-1/2 x 4 behind the 3 x 7 mini card, apply a piece of
   Tear & Tape on the back of the the 3 x 7 mini card. Next center the DSP with the Sweet Sorbet cardbase, close the flap and adhere.

10. Stamp the sentiment with Starry Sky ink on the inside of the small white panel.  

11. Die cut a piece of So Saffron and DSP (with an adhesive sheet on it) to create a lemon wedge.  Adhere the lemon to the inside.

12. A piece of Basic White 4 x 5-1/4 a sentiment with Sweet Sorbet ink is used for the inside of the card.  Adhere a strip of DSP toward the bottom.

    Basic White: 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

2. Starry Sky 5-7/8 x 3 score on the long side @ 1-3/4, and 3-7/8. Accordion fold this piece and you will have three sections.

• To attach this piece, put adhesive along about an inch of the back of the first section of card stock and adhere it to the DSP front flap.

• Put adhesive on the entire back of the last section and close the card to adhere it to the inside .

3. Cut two pieces of Basic White 2-3/4 x 1-7/8 and 2-3/4 x 1-3/4. Use the largest piece on the center section.

4. Cut DSP 5-1/2 x 1-7/8

5. Basic White for teacup detail

6. In Color Glimmer Paper can be used for teacup die. I don't have any yet, so I used white glimmer paper and colored it with ink and a sponge brayer.
