Hello and welcome to the Share it Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing a project we are working on and I have chosen to share the happiness fun fold card made for my lovely Mum’s birthday. This card was inspired by a card made by fellow demonstrator Terri Gaines

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate this card, you will need:

Melon Mambo card – 11” by 5½” – scored on the long-side at 1¾”, 3½”, 5¼” & 7”
Melon Mambo card – 5” by 3 ½” – score on the long-side at 2½”
Hues of Happiness dsp – 5⅜” by 3⅞”
Hues of Happiness dsp – 5⅜” by 1⅝” x 2
Basic White card – 4⅞” by 3⅜”

Using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool, I scored both Melon Mambo panels as stated in the measurements above.

I glued the panels of the gorgeous, Hues of Happiness dsp to the larger Melon Mambo panel. The largest piece to the larger panel, then skip a panel and adhere one of the thinner dsp panels to the next panel. Then skip another panel before adhering the final piece of dsp to the final section of the Melon Mambo card base.

The panel was then folded and burnished on the score lines. Beginning with the largest panel on your right, fold upwards to create a valley fold. The next fold is a mountain fold, followed by a valley fold and finally, a mountain fold. Burnish all the score lines with a Bone Folder.

I die cut some of the pretty flowers and leaves from the Hues of Happiness dsp using the Blossoming Happiness Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The flowers were used to decorate the three Basic White panels.

The sentiment was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink onto one of the panels and a flower and leaf combo were added to the bottom of the panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This panel was placed, using the same adhesive in the centre of the largest panel.

The two remaining Basic White panels were adhered to the smaller panel of Melon Mambo which was folded on the central score line.

I applied Tear and Tape to the shorter sides of the smaller Melon Mambo piece, placed the piece over the Basic White panel on the back panel and adhered the front of the smaller Melon Mambo piece to the folded front panel. I repeat this step when adhering the back piece.

Glossy Dots were added to decorate the card.

I hope my Mum will like the card.

Posted on September 23, 2021September 12, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello & welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Pick A Season’. After a lot of too-ing and froing I have settled on Summer and have chosen to make my card using the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and co-ordinating Ice Cream Builder Punch to make a sweet Summer Ice Creams card. Love an ice cream on a hot summer’s day.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Summer ice creams card, you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Cinnamon Cider 4⅝” by 3¼”

Taking the speckled image I stamped Pool Party ink onto the upper right and lower left corners of the Pool Party card base.

The image was coloured in using the following Blends Markers – open flowers in dark Daffodil Delight and light So Saffron. Buds using dark Daffodil Delight and dark So Saffron. The leaves and stems were coloured in using the Old Olive Combo. I added the dots around the flower centres with the dark Basic Black marker. Using a small paintbrush I flicked on some Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint onto the stamped panel.
