If you are new to Stampin' Up! you may not know that this is an exciting time - the launch of the new Annual Catalogue - and with the launch comes new ink colours!! Every year we get five new inks colours, these colours are only available for two years. Here is my new catalogue - check out all the tabs where I have marked the products I have on my wish list:) If you would like a catalogue, let me know and I will get one to you. The new in-colours are Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen and Fresh Freesia. The In-colours are avilable in ink, cardstock, embellishments, ribbon and Designer Series Paper. I made these cards to showcase the new colours along with the ribbon and embellishments. I used one of the new stamp sets to create the cards - Spiral Die - I love the bold pattern and the stamp is only $23 which is an amazing price point. Check out my online store on May 4 to get your hands on the new In-colours and all the other amazing goodies in the ne
I really enjoy making fancy fold cards, often they look complicated or fussy to make, but often they are quite easy and that's the case for this card. From the outside it looks like your usual card, but open it up and that's where you see the fancy fold!
I love the DSP from the Snowflake Splendor suite and this card really showcases the paper. I used other elements from the suite - stamp set, dies, ribbon and embellishments. I started off with the usual 51/2" x 4 1/4" cardbase, added a highland heather mat followed by snowflake splendor DSP.
One of the cards I cut out small snowflakes in silver foil and used the tasteful labels dies to cut out the sentiment. I think it makes the card so elegant. For the other card I customized a snowflake using three different layers; balmy blue and highland heather cardstock and silver foil, for both cards I added a blue gem to each snowflake to give them a bit of glimmer along with snowflake splendor ribbon.
I just love this suite and all the colours coordinate so nicely together - pacific point, highland heather and balmy blue along with the silver foil. Perfect for the holidays but also throughout the winter. I will be including this fold in my Fancy Fold Class on December 5, I would love to have you join us.
Now to the inside ...
Two white mats are adhered to the card base and then I cut a strip of pacific point cardstock that measures 1 3/4" x 11' and scored at 2 3/4", 5 1/2" and 8 1/4" and burnish creating a "w". I then cut 4 rectangles at 2 1/4" x 2 3/4" in pacific point and two pieces of DSP and two whisper white measuring 2" x 2 1/4". On the whisper white pieces I stamped snowflakes from the snowflake wishes stamp set and added some silver foil snowflakes to add some sparkle.
As there is limited space to write your message inside the card, I added a whisper white mat on the back of the card and added some more snowflakes in balmy blue and highland heather.
