Fun Fold Friday- Get Well Soon DSP Card

 

Fun Fold Friday with my Demo Swap Card! 

For Demo Swap they always have either a theme or a challenge. 

Here is what my July card had to include:

✔Fun Fold

✔Use New In Colors (Secret Sea & Cloud Cover)

✔Punch (To the Point Label Punch)

✔Water coloring (on the bowl/cup)

✔Get Well Soon (Mini alphabet dies)

This Fun Fold design I learned from the Creativity Now Stampin' UP! online event that happened in June. It uses Designer Series Paper as the cardbase and doesn't open the traditional style. 

I was able to watercolor on the cup/bowl to create that beautiful look. I used White Embossing Powder to create a "resist" look with the stamped image. 

I love how with this card you can see both sides of the DSP. 

This inside has a Basic White piece of cardstock to stamp on and finish the message. 

You can make this card too when you shop from my online store and follow my directions below! Be sure to watch my video for some added tips!

Steps

1. Measure, score, and cut your paper.

3. Emboss the Cloud Cover with the Joined Together Embossing Folder. 
4. Using the Versamark, Heat Tool, and White Embossing powder, stamp the cup/bowl onto the watercolor paper. Let cool and then die cut out. 
5. Stamp on the Basic white for the inside with the Secret Sea the flower in the bottom left corner. Use the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to color in the flower with glitter and pulling some of the ink out of the stamped image.  Glue the "soon" to the top of the Basic White and glue to the inside of the DSP cardbase. 
6. Water coloring: Dip 4 clear blocks onto the edge of each In Color Ink pad (see video for visual reference). Use your water brush to dip into the ink and paint onto the cup/bowl that was heat embossed.  
7. Punch out the To the Point Label with the Secret Sea and attach the cup/bowl with Dimensionals. Attach the punch out shape with Dimensionals to the center of the embossed Cloud Cover. 
8. Glue the "Get" and "Well" onto the embossed paper. Put Dimensionals on the top back only and leave the center clear.
9. Wrap the ribbon around the closed card and place the Cloud Cover over the ribbon so that the ribbon can still slide around.

New at SU Blog Hop- Paper Tags Birthday Box & Card

 

Welcome to the NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrators from around the world who are full of creative paper crafting ideas to share with you and help get you crafting! We are showing you today some Birthday Creations!

I used the Paper Tags Bundle! 

This bundle does not "say" Happy Birthday but it has the perfect sayings to someone celebrating. 

I used the tag that says, "May your day be filled with Sunshine & Laughter". But I also could have used the stamp that says, "It's a wonderful day to celebrate you." 

I made a card and box to share with you today. 

This bundle includes 6 dies that fit perfectly with the stamps. 

Their is even a scallop tag that layers with the smaller tag. 

The Birthday card I made was simple. I used the DSP to guide what colors I used. 

I used the New In Color, Secret Sea, in place of a traditional black for the ink on the tag. 

When you die cut the tag it creates little hearts. I used those hearts as paper embellishments to the top right side of the card. 

Next is the gift box! This gift box measurements came from the Stampin' UP! event called Creativity Now. 

I LOVE how simple this box is and how perfectly it pairs with the Paper Tags. 

There is no "top or bottom" for this box. 

It is one piece of DSP, scored, and cut just right to make a box. 

For the box tag I stamped the tag twice and fussy cut the saying "your day" and popped it up with dimensionals to create a little more height to the tag. 

It is up to you what you put inside the gift box. Here are some of my suggestions!

 A gift card fits nicely, or you can fill with your favorite birthday candies! Even small gifts like, jewelry or ChapSticks would be ideal for this size of gift box. 

Use these measurements to make your own Birthday Box!
