Stampin' Up! Seaside Wishes for Creative Creases Challenge #91 Anything with a Fun Fold

Welcome to our Anything Goes With a Fun Fold Challenge. If you haven't played at Creative Creases Challenge before, what are you waiting for? Hop on over to Challenge #91. We'd love to see your fun fold creation. Here's a snapshot of mine...

So let's take a closer look at the front of my fun fold...

I CASE'd my friend, Alyson Mayo. If you join her Facebook Group, you will have access to all her Fun Fold videos. They are invaluable and she is a wonderful teacher! She calls this one the "Sunflower Envelope Card". I call mine the "Seashell Envelope Card"! Thank you, Alyson!

Take a look at the opened card and side view...

I added mats for my triangle pieces, which Alyson didn't do because she used CTMH cardstock and theirs is one color on one side and slightly lighter color on the reverse. SU is solid color. The patterned paper is one I used before here.

A list of products can be found in the chart below.

Thank you for stopping by today and I can't wait to see all the creativity from the team. Be sure to check us out at CCC#91 and we hope to see your entry there!

Stampin' Up! Autumn Expressions Thanksgiving Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came!! We have a sketch challenge for you today and here is what I created for our hop...

My card base is Cajun Craze with an embossed (Birch Wood 3D) panel of Crushed Curry. The 3" x 3" square is from the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper.

I took a scrap piece of white cardstock and made a banner for the Crushed Curry sentiment. It's stamped in Cajun Craze ink and is from the Autumn Expressions Stamp Set. I adhered it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals and added three Faux Glass Dots.

For the inside...

Plain and simple! The sentiment and image are from the Autumn Expressions. After I took the photo for the blog hop, I added "Happy Thanksgiving" from the retired A Wish for Everything stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Potions & Spells for Amy's Inkin' Krew Monthly Blog Hop

Hello my stamping friends! Welcome to our monthly Amy's Inkin' Krew hop. Our theme for this month is "Halloween Fun" and we can interpret that any way we want and use any product we wish. Here is what I created for it using the Potions & Spells Bundle. I created my Halloween Birthday card for a friend who was born on October 31.

My card base is Blueberry Bushel (4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2") with a mat of Night of Navy. I embossed the Very Vanilla piece (3 1/2" x 4 3/4") with the  Painted Texture 3D EF. Before I did that, I stamped the "on this special day" from the Everyday Details Stamp Set. It's a partial portion of one stamp so I used my Blueberry Bushel Stamp N Write marker to ink that.

The "Hocus Pocus" (cut with an Everyday Details Die) is from the Potions & Spells Bundle, as is the cauldron. The bubbles and slime are also die cut with that bundle and I used the Berry Burst, Old Olive & White Glimmer Specialty Paper.

For the inside, I used a stamp from the retired  Magical Mermaid set. I thought it fit perfectely with the front. The "Happy Halloween" is from Potions & Spells as are the bubbles and black cat.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Expressions for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came!! We have a theme challenge for you today and here is what I created for our hop...

Let's take a closer look at my fall leaves, shall we?

I was inspired by a card created by Sarah Edwards on You Tube. My card base is Copper Clay cardstock with a panel of Very Vanilla that I stamped with the oak leaf from the Autumn Expressions Stamp Set, which became available to customers yesterday. I outlined some of the Wild Wheat inked leaves with the matching Stamp N' Write marker.

Next I adhered a mat of Wild Wheat cardstock. Adhered to that is a piece from the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper. Take a look at this paper...isn't it gorgeous?

The sentiment is from the Autumn Expressions Stamp Set and is stamped in Copper Clay ink. I stamped it on scrap Very Vanilla and mounted it on a scrap of Copper Clay. I tucked two small Woven Golden Leaves underneath.

For the inside...

Stampin' Up! Greatest Adventure Get Well Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came!! We have a sketch challenge for you today and here is what I created for our hop...

As you can see, I flipped the sketch on its side. Let's take a closer look...

I made it into a slimline card because the locomotive and side pieces went beyond an A2 card.

My card base is Basic Gray cardstock that I stamped with a stamp from the Light the Sky Stamp Set. I used VersaMark ink to do that. It measures 8 1/2" x 7", scored and folded at 3 1/2".

My silver foil strips are embossed with the Cane Weave 3D EF. Each one measures 3/4" x 3". The Basic Black strips measure 1/4" x 3". The art panel, which is Smoky Slate cardstock, measures 5" x 3".

For the inside...

I cut a piece of Smoky Slate that measures 8 1/4" x 3 1/4" and stamped the sentiment, from the Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set, in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Thank you for stopping by! Clicking on the "next" button will take you to Akiko. Clicking on the names listed below will take you directly to team members and their projects. I hope you enjoy all the creativity.

Hello my FB peeps! Welcome to our monthly Stampin' Up! Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop!! The participating demonstrators are listed at the end of my post. I hope you will choose to hop along. Here's what I created for the hop today...

My inspiration came from Vicky Wright with one of her 2018 cards. I am finally getting around to CASEing it!

Measurements and Instructions:

Blackberry Bliss Cardstock:

    Main base: 5 3/4" x 4 1/8"

    Flap: 3 1/2" x 8 1/4", scored and folded at 4 1/8"

Lemon Lolly Cardstock:

    5 5/8" x 4", adhere across the base to cover fold line

    3 3/8" x 4, adhere to outside of right flap

     Scrap for sentiment (I used the Something Fancy         Stamp Set and a die from the Wild Ferns Dies)  

Designer Series Paper:

    3 1/4" x 3 7/8", adhere to Lemon Lolly on right flap

    2" x 3 7/8", adhere to Lemon Lolly on left side

    1/2" x 3 7/8", adhere to inside left edge, making         sure to leave a Lemon Lolly border, maybe 1/16" or     1/8", whichever you prefer (I used the upcoming         Splendid Autumn, which will be available to             customers 9/4/24)
