Fun Fold Friday- Cradled in Love Sale-a-bration Card

 


I've been inspired by the talented Lisa Curcio over at her Stamp Studio with this step Fun Fold. You can see her Christmas Creations when you click HERE. 

She calls this card a "stair stepper". I used two New Sale-a-bration products to make my card. 
Cradled in Love Stamp Set
Sunny Days Designer Series Paper

Both are FREE when you order $50 worth of product from my online store, which is really easy to do with the new Mini Catalog that came out January 4th! 


I am loving the Cradled in Love Stamp Set because I am always in need of Baby Cards and never seem to have any when needed. My plan is to make up 20 cards using this set in hopes I am good for the year. 
The Stair Stepper card folds flat to fit into an envelope and the diamonds match up in a row. 



The back of the card has a spot to stamp and to leave a note. 


This paper I thought was fun with the raindrops and clouds as a play on "baby shower". But you could use and DSP from this Sale-a-bration pack! 

Give this Fun Fold a try by using the tutorial below! 

Supplies


Measurements
Pool Party Cardbase: 5 1/2" x 11" scored @ 3", 6", 7 1/2", 9", & 10"
Basic White (Back): 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" 
Steps- Basic White: 2 7/8" x 5 3/8"
1 3/8" x 5 3/8"
7/8" x 5 3/8"
DSP: 2 3/4" x 5 1/4"
1 1/4" x 5 1/4"
3/4" x 5 1/4"
Diamonds- Pool Party: 3" x 3"
2 3/4" x 2 3/4"
2 1/2" x 2 1/2"
Basic White: 2 3/4" x 2 3/4"
2 1/2" x 2 1/2"

Steps
  1.  Measure, score, and cut your paper. 
  2. Stamp on the 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" Basic White the greeting for the back with Pool Party ink.
  3. Stamp the cradle onto the largest Basic White diamond in Pool Party. Glue to the matte. 
  4. Stamp the "welcome little one" onto the medium Basic White diamond. Glue to the matte. 
  5. Stamp onto the Pool Party Diamond the baby images all over at random (see video). 
  6. Using Liquid Glue attach the Basic White mattes to the DSP and then glue them to the cardbase at their matching steps. Glue the Basic White to the back of the cardbase. 
  7. Attach the diamonds starting with the largest one first and by using dimensionals on the back. For the next two diamonds be careful with your dimensional placement to be just at the very bottom of the diamond (see video).

January Card Class- Bee My Valentine

 


I am so excited to announce my NEW monthly Card Class Club! This club you can join at any time and pick and choose what classes to attend. There are club perks (see below) but no petalites! 
This club is being co-created by Lynda Day, one of my most talented Stampin' Friends! We will take turns designing each month. If you attend her class, you will be getting the exact some thing, just a different video. 
Below are some answers to some frequently asked questions. 

How Card Class Club Works?
Each month starting on the 1st I will open up registration for the next class. You have until the 10th to register and send payment. To sign up you use the monthly link: https://forms.gle/7fCjaPrqLZecgKat8

After the 10th I order all of the supplies, make the kits, and send out by the 25th of the month. You will get a pdf with the Tutorial (which you will be asked not to share) and a video showing how to make the cards (that you can share). 
There will be a Facebook Group option if you want to join to share your card creations and to see others. 

What Comes in the Kit?
In the kit you will get the paper product supplies to make 8 cards in 4 different designs.
Kit Includes
- 8 cardbases & envelopes
- died cut shapes
-$20 worth of Stampin' UP! products (embellishments, tools, ribbons, DSP, etc.)

Not in the Kit
-Inks

Not in the kit items can all be ordered from my online store when you click HERE

Club Perks
As a club member (you join my card club just by attending your first class) there are some extra perks! 
When you sign up for your 6th class (doesn't have to be in a row), you earned the stamp set from that class for FREE. 
Example: You attend 1. January 2. February 3. March 4. April 5. May 6. June 
Your JUNE kit would come with the stamp set used for the kit for FREE that month. 

There are BONUS Perks for Royal Hearts Stampers Team Members. Let me know if you want more details about that when you sign up for the class. 

Sneak Peeks
Each month I'll share a "sneak peek" of the card designs, to give you just a taste. The full card design will not be shared until the 25th of each month when the kits are sent out. Below are January's Sneak Peeks using the Bee My Valentine stamp set! 



Card #1 uses the cute bee just a stamped image. 



Card #2 uses the matching Designer Series Paper . I love the saying on this card. It could be used as a thank you card even. 


Card #3 uses the punch to make the bee and the bonus hearts. This card could be used for more than just Valentine's Day. 


Card #4 shows off the cute *embellishments coming in the kit.
*Sometimes embellishments will have to be substituted if not available to order at the time.
