Fun Fold · Unbounded Beauty

Majestic Fun Fold Meets Unbounded Beauty

Love at First StampLeave a comment

Hi Happy Stampers! Today I have not just one, but two cards for you! Since the new catty came out, I have just been obsessed with using the Unbounded Beauty DSP. I am also infatuated with this fun fold card technique. The orginator of this fun is Susan Campfield. Since I watched her video several weeks ago, I have tweaked the fold a bit & it is so easy to create. I think I may even use it in my beginner class next month. Take a peek at the card I made yesterday while I was zoom Stamping with Kim’s Creative Stampede…

I only used stamps and DSP from the Unbounded Beauty Suite, ##163390; Perennial Postage Dies, #162607; Summer Splash CS, #163797; Basic White CS, #159276; Summer Splash Ink, #163809; Petunia Pop ink, #163811, and Petunia Pop 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon, #163785

The second card I made on Saturday. I used Pretty in Pink as my primary color and ran a couple of the basic white panels though my embossing machine using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder, #162935.

I used the Unbounded Beauty Suite for this card too. I also used stamps from the Heartfelt Hexagon set, #162882; Lifetime of Love, #162574; Pretty in Pink CS, #163793; Basic White; Petunia Pop Ink; Pretty in Pink Ink, #163807, Pretty in Pink Ribbon, #163784, and 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems, #163781.

Cutting Dimensions for these cards are very similiar:

  • Card Base – Cut CS to 5-1/2′ x 8″, score at 1-7/8″, 3-3/4″, 4-1/4″, and 6-1/8″
  • Panels – On Card 1 – I used 2 coordinating DSPs. I cut 4 of the larger Floral plus 2 center panels, 2 panels in other DSP, and 2 panels in Basic White. On Card 2 I used 2 coordinating DSPs – 2 panels of each DSP, only 1 little center panel DSP, and 4 basic white panels – 2 of which I embossed
    • Panels are cut at 1-5/8″ x 5-1/4″, Center panels cut to 3/8″ x 5-1/4″
  • Scrap Summer Splash CS and Basic White CS to die cut desired center shape for the front of the card. Center piece (after stamping sentiment) is adhered using 3 dimensionals.
  • I fastened the ribbon using glue dots prior to adhering to the center dimensionals.

I hope you have enjoyed today’s cards and the Unbounded Beauty DSP. Happy Stamping everyone! Donna 🙂

#Fun Fold

Unbounded Beauty Front Flip Fun Fold

Love at First StampLeave a comment

Hi Stampers!

I had a beginner card class today, and this fun fold is one of the cards we created today. I wanted to incorporate a simple fun fold in the mix for this class. This easy front flip fun fold was a hit. Everyone loved making this card!

I used one of Stampin’ Up!’s newest Suite Collections. It’s called the Unbounded Beauty Suite Collection. I love this suite! The DSP has all five of the new 2024-2026 In-Colors in it. It also comes with two, yes, two stamp & die bundles. In-Color Glimmer paper and In-Color Resin Dots finish off this wonderful colleciton. All the ladies in my class absolutely loved the fresh colors in the DSP.

Here’s what I used to create this card and the cutting dimensions:

  • Petunia Pop CS – Cut 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score at 4-1/4″. Then measure the top flap to 1-1/4″ & cut to the score line, measure to 4-1/4 & cut to the score line (the top fold sections should measure left side – 1-1/4″, middle – 3″, and right side – 1-1/4″). Using green glue, glue the two side flaps down onto the botton flap. The middle flap remains free.
  • Basic White CS – cut one piece 1-3/8″ x 3-1/8″ (for the front of card) and one piece 2-3/4″ x 4″ for the inside under the flap
  • DSP – I used a patterned piece and cut so the pattern continued along the front of the card. Cut 5″ x 4″ – then cut into 1″, 2-3/4″, and 1″ widths (the length is already 4″)
  • Summer Splash In-Color Glimmer paper and the Unbounded Love dies – I used my Stampin’ Cut & Embossing maching to cut out the leave frame and the double leaf.
  • Stamp the smaller basic white CS using Petunia Pop ink with your sentiment and the larger piece with the interior sentiment. Attach the leaf frame to the smaller CS piece using either glue dots or a tape runner. I ran my Stampin’ Seal over the frame and attached it to the CS. Then I added the double leaf to the larger Basic White CS in the same way.
  • I attached the front sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals and glued the interior piece with green glue

Supplies Used:

I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Come back soon to see the other cards we made in this class. My beginner class will meet again in June, so stay tuned. Email me or leave a message if you would like to know more about my beginner class.

Happy Stamping everyone! Donna 🙂
