Here's our amazing Creativity Abounds Design Team! 



This month our theme is Fancy Fold cards!  I love making fancy fold cards and I love getting new ideas from this amazing Design Team!  I created a Joy Fold card using the Oceanfront and On the Horizon Stamp Sets.  This was the first fancy fold card I learned to make many years ago!  The Oceanfront and On the Horizon Stamp Sets coordinate beautifully and made it easy to create this pretty card.


Instructions

  1. Cut Misty Moonlight card stock 4 1/4" x 8 1/2".  Score at 5 1/2" and fold on score line to form card base.
  2. Cut Basic White card stock 4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to the inside of the card
  3. Cut Soft Seafoam card stock 2 7/8" x 4 1/8" and adhere to the front flap of the card base
  4. Cut Designer Series Paper 2 3/4" x 4" and adhere to the front flap of the card base.
  5. Cut Misty Moonlight card stock 3" x 8".  Score at 4" and fold on score line to form small card base.
  6. Adhere to the inside of the card so that the front flap of the small base overlaps the front flap of the card base.
  7. Cut Soft Seafoam card stock 2 7/8" x 3 7/8" and adhere to the front flap
  8. Cut Basic White card stock 2 3/4" x 3 3/4"
  9. Stamp sky image using Pool Party ink
  10. Stamp grass image using Soft Seafoam ink
  11. Stamp large plant using Soft Seafoam Ink
  12. Stamp smaller plant using Old Olive Ink
  13. Stamp sentiment using Misty Moonlight ink
  14. Stamp birds using Misty Moonlight ink
  15. Cut Basic White card stock 2 7/8" x 3 7/8"
  16. Stamp plant using Old Olive Ink in bottom right corner
  17. Adhere to the inside of the small base.
  18. Adhere Faux Sea Glass Shapes
