Dandy Designs Cute Turtle Accordion Fold Card

Hi Everyone,

I made this card to show off the Dandy Designs dsp, Beautifully Happy stamp set and the cute Turtle from Playing in the Rain. This is an Accordion Fold and I CASEd a design from US Demonstrator Susan Campfield, I just changed up the dsp and the stamp set.

Materials

1 piece of thick white card 4 1/8" x 10 1/2"

2 pieces of granny apple green card 4" x 4", 1 piece 2 1/4" x 4"

1 piece of basic white 2 1/2" square, 1 piece 2" x 3 3/4", scraps for stamping sentiments

2 pieces of dsp 3 3/4" square

Scrap of old olive ribbon

Memento Black ink

Beautifully Happy stamp set

Playing in the Rain stamp set

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Basic Shapes dies

Old Olive Stampin' Blends

Pupkin Pie Stampin' Blends

Polished Pink Stampin' Blends

Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Mini Glue Dots

Instructions

On the long side score the thick white card at 2 1/2", 3 3/4", 6 3/4" and 8", fold and burnish to make the card base.

Adhere the dsp layers to the card mats and then adhere them in place, one on the front, then fold that behind the card out of the way and adhere the remaining one to the next section (see pictures).

Adhere the smaller strip of green card to the final section. Stamp the flowers on the basic white mat for this section and then stamp the turtle on the remaining piece of white and colour in both with the Stampin' Blends. Die cut the turtle with one of the square dies.

Stamp the two sentiments and then die cut them both using one of the banners from the die set. Add the turtle to the card front on dimensionals. Tuck the top sentiment under the edge of the turtle mat so that it lines up with the edge of the card when it is folded closed. Then adhere the second banner, directly beneath the first so that you can't see it when the card is closed. Adhere the final piece of white with the flowers to the back section of the card.

Add a ribbon bow at the side of the turtle and the card is complete.

Pop Up Fun Fold Card

Hi Everyone,

Today I have made a Pop Up Fun Fold using the Rain or Shine Suite of products, I love it, it's so bright and cheery and full of cute characters. It's definitely my favourite from the new Mini Catalogue. There is a video tutorial for this card over on my YouTube Channel, please click on the link below.

Video Tutorial

Materials

1 piece of old olive card stock 5 7/8" x 11 1/2", scraps for the sentiment

3 pieces of basic white card stock 5 5/8" square, 1 piece 4 1/2" x 5", 4 pieces 1 1/2" x 4", scraps for the sentiments

3 pieces of dsp 5 3/8" square (I cut them 5 1/2" for the video but I think they need to be a tiny bit smaller now as I added the white mats during the video, after I had cut everything out).

8 pieces of dsp 1 1/4" square

Scraps of dsp to fussy cut/die cut the characters

Old Olive ink

Playing in the Rain stamp set

Playing in the Rain dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Multipurpose Adhesive

Dimensionals

Paper Snips

Instructions

On the long side, score the old olive card at 5 3/4" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

On the long side, score the largest piece of basic white at 1/2", 2 1/2" and 4 1/2" and fold and burnish, all mountain folds.

On the long side of the smaller pieces of basic white, score at 1/2" 2" and 3 1/2" and fold and burnish, all mountain folds.

Add the mats and dsp layers to the front and both sides of the inside, remember that the card will be displayed open and the pattern needs to be the right way (see finished card).

Now to add the pop up pieces, take the largest one and add glue to the tabs at either side, line up the score line in the centre of this piece with the score line in the centre of the card and glue in place so that it sits in the centre of the card.

Then, in the same way, lining up the centre of the smaller pieces to the fold of the larger piece, glue all four in place, coming in a little from the edge and lining the top and bottom ones up (see the picture).

Add dsp to the smaller cube sections.

Now, either fussy cut or die cut your characters, I've fussy cut four of the smaller ones and die cut two rabbits for the front.

Add the smaller characters on dimensionals to the cube sections and then add the two larger ones to the card front.

I've stamped the two sentiments from the stamp set in Old Olive ink on scraps of basic white and just trimmed around them and then layered them up onto scraps of Old Olive. I added the inside one with glue and the card front one with dimensionals.

I do hope that you like my card, I had lots of fun making it. Please pop over and see what everyone else has chosen as their favourites:

Cute Turtle Corner Tuck Fold Card - Fun Fold Friday

Hi Everyone,

This week I thought I would make a Corner Tuck Fold Card, I've not made one for a long time. I bought the Like an Animal designer series paper but have been struggling to think of something to make with it. I know the one I have chosen is not turtle shell but if you squint a bit it's similar (in my wonky eyes anyway haha!) and I've teamed it up with the very cute turtle from the Playing in the Rain set.

Materials

1 piece of crumb cake card stock 4 1/4" x 8 1/4", 1 piece 3" x 3", 1 piece 2 3/4" x 2 3/4", scrap for the sentiment

1 piece of dsp 4" x 5 1/2", 2 pieces 2 1/4" x 4"

1 piece of basic white card stock 2 1/2" x 4", 1 piece 2 5/8" x 2 5/8", scrap for the sentiment

Scrap of Rain or Shine dsp for the turtle

Playing in the Rain stamp set

Raindrops Embossing Folder

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Early Espresso ink

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Multipurpose Adhesive

Dimensionals

Paper Snips

Instructions

On the long side score the crumb cake card at 5 3/4" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Add the dsp mats to all 3 sections.

Cut the 3" x 3" piece of crumb cake in half diagonally and run that and the 2 5/8" piece of basic white through the machine in the Raindrops Embossing Folder, make sure your raindrops are the right way round (ask me how I know!!).

Add dimensionals to the diagonal piece and add to the top right hand corner of the card so that it is completely lined up with the bottom of the card along the two sides. Keep the dimensionals to the outer edges, you need to be able to tuck the front under here.

Adhere the larger piece of white to the inside of the card, move it closer to the score line and make sure that when you add the square on to the card front, that you can't see the white underneath.

Now adhere the crumb cake square to the front flap, only put adhesive on about 1" to the left and adhere this in place so that it sits centrally on the card and the top corner will go underneath the corner piece to tuck in.

Adhere the embossed piece to that and then fussy cut one of the smaller turtles from the dsp and add using dimensionals to the left hand side of the embossed piece.

Stamp a sentiment on the scrap of white and then layer up on a scrap of crumb cake. Add this to the bottom corner of the square with a couple of dimensionals.

I love how this has turned out, why don't you give this easy Fun Fold a go?
