SWEETS & TREATS FUN FOLD CARD

November 2, 2021

I remember doing this card years, I mean a lot of years, ago and it seemed like it was such a hard layout. It is really easy as long as you have  a Stampin' Up! Paper Trimmer with a nice sharp cutting blade.


For those who are weak at measuring, just go as close as you can. It is really easy to know where the 16th of an inch is on the Stampin' Up! Paper trimmer, just count the little lines, or divide. So if I am looking for 13/16, I know that there are 4, sixteenths in each quarter of an inch, so it is the little line just past 3/4. 13 divided by 4 is 3 (3/4) with one left over. Sounds really simple now. Check out my video below for help on the measuring.


I love this stamp set Sweets & Treats! It is perfect for the holidays and birthdays. It also coordinates nicely with Measure of Love #154997


Measurements:
Cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Basic White,

  1. With 8 1/2 side at top score at 2 1/8 from each end,
  2. Rotate so the 5 1/2" side is at the top, line up at 1" and cut between the two score lines
  3. Flip over and do the same thing on the other edge (line up at 1" and cut between the two score lines)
  4. Turn so 8 1/2" side is at the top, line up at 3 3/16, score between the cut lines
  5. Flip over and do the same thing (line up at 3 3/16, score between the cut lines)
  6. With 8 1/2" side at top, score at 4 1/4 from the top edge to the cut line
  7. With the 8 1/2 side at top, score at 4 1/4 from the bottom edge to the cut line

See how easy that was! just follow the steps

Today I wanted to show you how you can used this fun stamp & die set and not use the Designer Series Paper. I love the coordinating Designer Series Paper but I think there are about a million posts on the interned showing how to use the DSP so I wanted to reach outside the box and use something else. I selected the wood grain DSP from Beautiful Gallery and I love the way it came out. Be sure to download the free Project Sheet below

For this card I started out with the beautiful 2025-27 In Color Strawberry Slush. I used the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and die to cut the flowers. I added the beautiful Metallic Texture Rub Ons to add bling to the card. You will find all of these things in my Stampin' Up! store . Be sure to download the Free Project Sheet for all the measurements.

This sweet card uses the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape with the die to cut the flowers. I attached the tape to a piece of Basic White cardstock and die cut it using the coordinating die. This made for a bunch of beautiful flowers to attach to the front and inside of the card. The greeting is from Year of Flowers. I added the beautiful little Iridescent Pearls to the centers of the flowers . The background is embossed with Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder. You will find all these products listed below along with Free Project Sheet.

No, I am not stuck on this set of dies, however, this idea came to me through an indirect route and I of course had to change it up and do it a little differently. The Thankful Garden Bundle or the Pretty Floral Bundle could be used for this idea. Actually any set of die cut flowers would work. I used an 11 x 4 1/4 piece of Basic White for my card base so the card opens at the top instead of the side to create a beautiful and fun easel fold
