Fun Fold the Never Ending Card

I had always wanted to give this one a try.  I can’t believe how easy it was to do! Basically 4 pieces of paper and a bit of folding.  Who thought this up??? This was fun because it was a request from one of you, my subscribers.  That made it special for me. 

I had questions on this one: 

  • Portrait is the orientation you see in the picture below, where the finished card is 4 1/4″ wide and 5 1/2″ long and the card opens like a book. This is the typical presentation.
  • Landscape is where the finished card is 5 1/2″ wide and 4 1/4″ long and the card opens either like a book or from bottom to top

 

Following are the Measurements and Supplies for today’s Fun Fold the Never Ending Card

  • I used a Basic Black Cardstock base and cut 2 pieces 4 ¼” by 5 ½”
  • Piece #1 is scored on the 4 ¼” side at 1 1/16” on both sides, then cut in half at 2 ¾” on the 5 ½” side.
  • Piece #2 is scored on the 5 ½” side at 1 3/8” on both sides then cut in half at 2 1/8” on the 4 ¼” side .
  • The DSP is from the Simply Elegant 12” by 12”Specialty Designer Series Paper.
  • DSP Page 1, 2 pieces 2 5/8” by 2” and 4 pieces 2” by 1 ¼”
  • DSP Page 2, 1 piece of DSP cut at 2” by 2 5/8” and a piece of basic white cut 2” by 2 5/8”
  • DSP Page 3, 2 pieces 2” by 2 5/8” and 4 pieces 7/8” by 1 ¼”
  • DSP Page 4, 2 pieces 2’ by 2 5/8”and 4 pieces 7/8” by 2 5/8”

Using Patterned Paper and Pansy Patch

Fun, Fun, Fun, I love messing around with Patterned Paper! I haven’t done much with this stamp set and papers and this was a blast.  We have so many choices with the patterned paper we have available to us.  Now these Pansies were created with stamps and ink, but remember we have that beautiful paper we can use with the dies to just cut some out.  I hope you give these a try. 

Following are the Measurements and Supplies for today’s Expressions in Ink Pocket Birthday Card.

• I used Thick Basic White Cardstock for all the card bases and cut them 8 ½” by 5 ½”, scored and folded at 4 ¼” or 11” by 4 ¼” scored and folded at 5 ½”
• All DSP and or color cardstock was cut at 3” by 5 ¼”
• The DSP is from the Pansy Petals DSP or the 2021 – 2023 6” X 6” Incolor DSP Assortment

Ingenuity Inkers June 2021 Blog Hop

   

This is the June 2021, Ingenuity Inkers Blog Hop, using the Hand Penned Suite! Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post to “hop” to the next Demonstrator to see what others have done with the suite.  

This card was Such a blast to put together.  I just love this Hand Penned Suite and the paper is just wonderful.  I can’t seem to put away this Purple, Yellow and Green combination. I can hardly wait to see what the rest of my team creates with this amazing material. 

                                     

You all seemed to really enjoy a little DSP on the back of the card, so I wrapped the DSP all the way around this card and into the inside.  The inside piece then becomes part of the decoration on the inside of the card, what fun!   I added a little Highland Heather Grosgrain Ribbon on both the inside and the outside of the card and added my sentiments.  There is a video on this one on my YouTube Channel.  

Measurements for todays Card:

  • I used a Thick Basic White Base 8 1/2″ by 5 1/2″ scored and folded at 4 1/4″
    • I also used a small scrap of So saffron to back the sentiment
  • Next I used a Highland Heather layering piece on the front 5 1/4″ by 4 1/8″ and placed it flush to the scored side of the card. You will also need a small scrap for the sintiment
  • The Hand Penned DSP is 5″ by 9 1/4″ to wrap all the way around the card
