With the closed card in portrait mode, I adhered the ribbon to the top triangle with a little Tear and Tape. The upper half of the square was then glued to the upper triangle and the ribbon wrapped around and tied in a bow to close the card.
A trio of Adhesive-backed Metallic Sequins finished the card.

This adorable snowman that-a-way card was inspired by a video made by the Tatted Stamper showcasing the ‘that-a-way’ fun fold and I just had to try it using the pretty snowman from the Festive Friends stamp set.
To recreate the snowman that-a-way card, you will need:
Thick Basic Card Base – 11½” by 4” – scored at 5¼” Beautiful Bokeh dsp – 5½” by 3¾” Scrap Basic White and Granny Apple Green
With a pencil, lightly mark the card front at 2” on the short side then cut from the 2” mark to the centre scoreline on the right. Repeat the cut on the left side to leave a pointed card front. Place the 2 cut pieces together, face down, to form a triangle and use Sellotape to adhere the pieces together.

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing fun fold projects. I have chosen to share the wedding card made for my niece and her new wife’s wedding last week. Such a lovely day. I used the Gallery Blooms stamp set and Everyday Arches Dies to create my card.
To recreate the gallery blooms wedding card, you will need:
Night of Navy card – 5½” by 4¼” x 3 Petal Pink card – 5¼” by 4” x 4 Basic White card – 4¾” by 3½” Night of Navy card – 9” by 1¾” – scored at 2½” and 6½” Night of Navy card – 3¼” by ½” Scrap Petal Pink and Night of Navy card
From the 3 rectangles of Night of Navy card I die cut three of the largest arches from the Everyday Arches Dies. I die cut the next size down arch from the four pieces of Petal Pink card. Using the next size down again I die cut arches from the four panels of Basic White card.

I stamped the large floral image onto one of the Basic White arches and the smaller curved double bloom onto the remaining three white arches using Night of Navy ink.

The flowers on each of the image were coloured using Petal Pink Blends Pens with the centres added with the dark Cloud Cover Blends Pen. Three of the Basic White arches were then embossed using the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. The remaining panel was left un-embossed so that I could write a message.

Adhesive Sheet was added to the back of a scrap piece of Night of Navy and Petal Pink card. I then used the Alphabet A La Mode Dies to cut out the letters for the girl’s names and the & sign. The letters were then adhered to the embossed panels. I used a T ruler to make sure I got the letters as straight as possible. The embossed and decorated panels were then adhered to the Petal Pink arches.

The scorelines on the long strip of Night of Navy card were folded and burnished and one of the Night of Navy arches was adhered behind the centre panel. The other two Night of Navy arches were then adhered to the strip, one to the right and the other to the left. The decorated arches were then glued into position.
