ENCOURAGEMENT FRAME
May 21, 2020
TEAM PROJECT
My team and I have been meeting online every week just to check in with one another. Ask and answer questions and learn something new. I have really enjoyed doing this because it gives me a chance to teach them new things. When we only meet face to face once a month it seems like I am not getting to let that creative side of me out. This way I can teach them things that are more difficult than what I would do at my classes because my classes are so large. For this reason, I am enjoying this time of No Contact. Here is a project that we did today.
If you are not currently part of my team and would like to know more about the benefits be sure to check out my Join My Team page or contact me. Right now if you join for $99 you will get $125 in products of your choice. Stampin' Up! pays the shipping. Of course, you have to pay the sales tax. You can order from the "Pre-order" for the new 20-21 Annual Catalog.

INSTRUCTIONS:
On the 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock, score on all four sides at 1/2, 1, 1 1/2 & 2
With the cardstock in the scoring board or cutter in portrait position (8 1/2" side at the top) score to the 2nd score line at 2 1/2 & 6
Rotate 180 degrees and do the same thing on the other end
Cut out all four of the 2 x 2 corners where all the score lines come together
Cut up the little score lines you made at 2 1/2 & 6 on each end. Then cut down from the outside edge of the 3rd score line to the top of the cut you just made at the 2 1/2" line. Do the same on all four sides. (see the pattern)
Adhere your DSP in the center of the cardstock, (this will be the inside of your frame)
Turn the cardstock over and put Tear 'N Tape on the first scored section of each edge, that is the section closest to the outside edge of the cardstock.
Turn the cardstock over and put Tear 'N Tape on the first scored section of each edge, that is the section closest to the outside edge of the cardstock.
Turn the cardstock back over so you are seeing the DSP and start with the two longest sides. Peel the paper off the Tear 'N Tape and roll it toward the center so the first panel with the tape is on the inside, laying on the bottom where the DSP is. Continue to the 2nd long side and do the same.
On the ends put just a tiny drop of glue on the inside corners. Fold the edge over so you can see where you will need the glue. Peel the Tear 'N Tape and roll it so that the panel with the Tear 'N Tape is on the bottom. Adjust the corners and hole them until the glue dries.

Let It Snow! An Elegant Christmas Fun Fold Card
Let your Christmas wishes take wing with this beautiful Four Wing Christmas card!
This cheerful fall fun fold card combines pretty plaid, textured layers and a trio of colorful pumpkins! I used Calypso Coral and Basic White cardstock with Painted Patch Designer Series Paper for a fresh, welcoming autumn look. The Basic White panels are embossed with the Stone & Leaves embossing folder, adding a lovely leafy texture that complements the pumpkin patch theme. The diagonal cut give the card extra interest while allowing the layered focal point to take center stage. For the centerpiece, I layered a plaid panel over a Calypso Coral arch, creating a frame for pumpkins die cut from Calypso Coral, Timid Tiger and Crisp Cantaloupe. I love how these three shades work together, giving each pumpkin its own personality! Old Olive leaves and curling vines weave around the pumpkins and extend up the arch, bringing a touch of greenery to the design. A Basic White label with the “Warm wishes” greeting finishes the card beautifully, making it a sweet way to send a little autumn happiness to someone special.
This card is such a fun way to say “Oh, Happy Day!” It could be used for a retirement, birthday or any special occasion. I started with Basic Black Cardstock, which creates a bold frame and really makes the softer colors stand out. The beautiful watercolor background comes from the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper, with a little black-and-white pattern peeking out for added interest. The balloons from Balloon Festoon add the perfect touch of whimsy and dimension, while the greeting from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack makes creating the focal point quick and easy. I love how all of these elements come together for a cheerful card that could be used for a birthday or just about any happy occasion!
This cheerful Stampin’ Up! card features a soft, monochromatic color palette with Crisp Cantaloupe from Painted Pattern Designer Series Paper, using the playful polka dots and coordinating horizontal strips. The oversized “Thinking of You” greeting that is die cut in Crisp Cantaloupe using the "Thinking of You" dies takes center stage, layered over Basic White for added dimension. Adding Crisp Cantaloupe Bordered Ribbon, a delicate White Baker's Twine bow, and 2026-28 In Color Gems provide the perfect finishing touches to this sweet card that is sure to brighten someone’s day.
