International Highlights Blog Hop - Symbols of Fortune Fancy Fold

  • Monday, 3 January 2022


I'm excited to participate again in Kylie's Monthly International Blog Highlights for January!  As always, the theme is "Thank You".  I created this pretty Arrow Fold card featuring one of my favourite suites from the upcoming Jan to Jun Mini Catalogue that launches tomorrow, January 4th!  Isn't this a gorgeous suite of products!


Instructions

  1. Cut Smoky Slate card stock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".
  2. On each side of the Smoky Slate cardstock, use a pencil and a ruler to lightly mark at 2" from bottom and 4" from bottom on the long edge and 2 1/8" from the sides on the bottom edge.
  3. Using the scoring blade on your trimmer, score from the 5 1/2" score line down to the 2 1/8" mark.  Repeat from the 4" and 2" mark down to the 2 1/8" mark.  Repeat this on the other side of the cardstock.
  4. Gently fold on the score lines to make peaks and a valley - fold the longest score line in, and then the next score line out and the final scoreline in.
  5. Repeat on the other side.
  6. Use Stampin' Seal and Dimensionals to adhere the arrow closed.
  7. Cut Gold Foil 4" x 5 1/4". Mark along the bottom 4" edge at 2" and cut from the top corner to the 2" mark on both sides.  
  8. Cut Designer Series Paper 3 3/4" x 5". Mark along the bottom edge at 1 7/8" and cut from the top corner to the 1 7/8" mark on both sides.  
  9. Adhere to largest DSP triangle to the largest Gold Foil Triangle.
  10. Adhere to the card base.
  11. Cut Designer Series Paper 4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to the inside of the card base.
  12. Cut Gingko leaves from Gold Foil Sheet and adhere to card base using Glue Dots.
  13. Stamp crane using Smoky Slate ink and cut out using Die.
  14. Adhere to the card base using Dimensionals.
  15. Stamp sentiment using Versamark ink on a scrap of Smoky Slate card stock.  
  16. Sprinkle with Gold Emboss Powder and heat to melt.
  17. Cut out using Paper Snips.
  18. Adhere to a scrap of Gold Foil Sheet. 
  19. Cut around leaving about 1/8" on all sides using Paper Snips
