Trifold Birthday Card

Have you ever had this happen to you?  You see a card in a store, you really like it, and you know you can make this card using Stampin' Up products.

This card had a special fold, so it took me a while searching Pinterest and You Tube to find the exact fold I was looking for.  I finally found several versions of what was referred to as the Trifold card.  Thi is my version.

The card is made using a 12 by 12" piece of Whisper White card stock, which ends up making 4

 of these cards

Score the 12 by 12 card stock at 4 and 8"; Turn  and cut the card stock at the 6" mark (cutting the paper in half). Each half makes 2 cards.

Take one of  the halves and put the other aside.

With the 6" side facing up, measure 1" in from the left outside edge of the top and make a small pencil mark.  Do the same at the bottom, making a mark 1" in from the right outside lower edge

Line up both marks on the trimmer (at an angle) and cut into 2 pieces..

Decorating:

Taking a 12 by 12" piece of Sweet Soiree DSP I trimmed off 1/8" from each end , and using the above directions I made a "liner" trifold - and adhered it to  the Whisper White base.

The back of the card with stamped with the Distressed Dot background stamp using Marina Mist ink.

The trim on the top was made by punching Blushing Bride card stock using the Decorative Edge punch,

Decoration on the inside was done using the Sweet Soiree Memories & more card pack as well as images from Color Me Happy coloured with Stampin' Blendabilities. Close up pictures are below.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Color Me Happy, Perfect Happenings (retired), Distressed Dot Background
Inks:  Black Memento, Stampin Blendabilities
Papers:  Whisper White, Sweet Soiree DSP, Sweet Soiree Memories and More Card Pack, Blushing Bride
Accessories:  Decorative Edge punch, 2 1/2" circle punch,  1 3/8" circle punch. dimensionals, scoring tool, stampin up trimmer.

I will make a tutorial ( pictoral) on my Tutorial blog in the next couple of days.  Leave me a comment if you would like to see one.
Thanks.

One sheet Wonder Using Sweet Soiree DSP and Sweer Soiriee Memories and More Card Pack (SAB)

The coordination between the products from the Occasions Catalogue and the SAB catalogue is absolutely phenomenal.  For this One Sheet Wonder Project I took one sheet from the Sweet Soiree Specialty DSP making 7 cards from it and decorated The book for the cards  with the Sweet Soiree Memories and More Card Pack.

The seven cards and their envelopes were placed in a book held together with gold edged Rich Razzelberry ribbon

Above the book is closed. The  front  is decorated with Sweet Soiree Memories and More Card Pack as is the inside.

Here the book is opened to reveal more use of the Memories and More pack.

Card #1 (Happy Birthday)

The triangular cut DSP is added to a piece of Whisper White card stock embossed with the Petal Burst embossing folder.  Card base is Rich Razzelberry. Stamp set used:  Birthday Banners .  Punch:  Balloon builder

Card #2 (Best Wishes)

Four 1 by 2 3/4" panels of DSP were added first to some Rich Razzelberry and then Whisper White card stock.  The sentient is stamped directly onto the Calypso Coral cardstock base.

For this card, the DSP is added to a Daffodil Delight base, with a strip of Calypso Coral or green Glimmer paper added to the left.  Some Daffodil Delight ribbon was added to the Calypso Coral strip.
