Today I'm sharing a colourful fun fold card, which is my team project for this week's <b><a href="https://just-add-ink.blogspot.com/2024/03/just-add-ink-693choose-two.html" target="_blank">Just Add Ink Choose Two challenge</a></b>. I also suggested this challenge so I hope you enjoy playing along with it too. Take a closer look at my card, which is an adaption of a z fold card.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgczPfNN0C0F-h3-cKySmrw1v4nJYh2P0kE4RyNJYvZcyyYprnxtiMyjRt3iiVFHyT2zY8cGMtRmXRNHVg0Ph2LR-6787vKb_WZNkAnI35kSiFUh9QfsH8TQf4PmyclQHIAQFb3dH6738O127586vwXcv0bx9n4iW_HK8BInKvw_iiF_cgEXZyXhyXY6U/s1772/240312%20Trusty%20Tools%20Pencil%20adapted%20z%20fold%20card%20JAI%20693%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Handmade z fold fun fold rainbow card using Stampin Up Trusty Tools, Just My Type, Stampin Blends and Lighter Than Air patterned paper.

Can you guess which ones?<br /><br />The pencils are a single image from the Trusty Tools stamp set and die bundle, which I repeat stamped with Basic Gray ink down the white panel, offsetting them for interest. I love the linear but imperfect look they give.<br /><br />They're coloured with Stampin' Blends to create a rainbow of colours. These are Melon Mambo, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Lemon-Lime Twist, Parakeet Party, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Tahitian Tide, Azure Afternoon, Blueberry Bushel, Night of Navy, Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather. I added some clear Wink of Stella - a sparkly rainbow is even better, yes?<br /><br />The sentiment (or saying for the challenge) is from the Just My Type stamp set (the actual stamp sentiment says 'I hope your day is full of sunshine and rainbows'. I cut up a stamped image, to change it to 'fill your day with sunshine and rainbows', then I popped it up the words on every second pencil.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMlFzYs64L5YCU7iAHy2TAvdlr43l48yc_1OEojTJToXHbbYO2CnCWgy2sQwple0TpWy4CYh89FU0VetkwUZ0ecamEwhiTieg5S4BD3aW5MFucB1_g3JngQTeTWuaDgtULp38DAqQAn5aHf-raZ4lA12IQLcdvsFmRumQlQU4Rk17KTDK36hsl8fKbbuk/s1772/240312%20Trusty%20Tools%20Pencil%20adapted%20z%20fold%20card%20JAI%20693%205.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Handmade z fold fun fold rainbow card using Stampin Up Trusty Tools, Just My Type, Stampin Blends and Lighter Than Air patterned paper.

You can watch her video showing how to construct the card, and substitute these measurements if you use A4 card.<br /><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Card measurements using A4</span></b><br /><br /><b>Base:</b> Cut A4 sheet to 29cm x 10.5cm (Cut A4 sheet in half longways, then trim to 29cm for easier maths). Score piece at 5.5cm, 11cm, and 14.5cm<br /><br /><b>Base Front Panel</b>: 10 x 10.5cm. This panel is centred and adhered to the 5.5cm section of the base as shown below.<br /><br />I've added some paper panels to each section to decorate. The dotty pattern from the <b>Lighter Than Air paper</b> (from the Hot Air Balloon suite) was perfect for the circle element of the challenge. It's such a happy paper! The striped paper is a fave from the same pack.<br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgczPfNN0C0F-h3-cKySmrw1v4nJYh2P0kE4RyNJYvZcyyYprnxtiMyjRt3iiVFHyT2zY8cGMtRmXRNHVg0Ph2LR-6787vKb_WZNkAnI35kSiFUh9QfsH8TQf4PmyclQHIAQFb3dH6738O127586vwXcv0bx9n4iW_HK8BInKvw_iiF_cgEXZyXhyXY6U/s1772/240312%20Trusty%20Tools%20Pencil%20adapted%20z%20fold%20card%20JAI%20693%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Handmade z fold fun fold rainbow card using Stampin Up Trusty Tools, Just My Type, Stampin Blends and Lighter Than Air patterned paper.

I started with a Balmy Blue base, Crumb Cake panel, and a white panel with a square section masked off and inked using blending brushes with Crumb Cake and Balmy Blue ink. I could have created a hard horizon line but I liked the hazy look, like you often see when looking off a beach.<br /><br />Then I started building my scene with the lifesaver tower and palm tree stamps and die cuts.<br /><br />The lifesaver tower is stamped in Basic Gray in and coloured with Stampin' Blends markers (Smoky Slate Light, Azure Afternoon Light & Dark, Sweet Sorbet Light & Dark, and Crumb Cake Light and Dark), then cut out with the coordinating die. I also used a Light Pool Party Blend to soften the die cut edge.<br /><br /><b>Stamping Tip</b>: To help get the best alignment of intricate or stretchy stamp images and dies, place
the stamp into the die to hold it in the correct position while you adhere to the block. This makes sure the stamp is in exactly the right spot for die cutting. <br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The surfboard is stamped in Smoky Slate ink and coloured with Light Parakeet Party Blends. Once dry I stamped the 'enjoy today' sentiment with Basic Gray ink.<br /><br />The palm tree was die cut with Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake cardstock, and I added some shading with the same colour in Stampin' Blends markers.<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFeT57UAC2KI982D0Qb4uriMPuQofIQXLORM4h420GIFlWhhYiXaAcrWT380Jz5YjUP3ySymUILxgIqLCMT2P9uhU3Nd6gL9m71wxfc3j3lZVWB4R3iApVV4vBT0fPIXq-SO9-JldDvwngKTDbKnKbCUeWIDAAUqULws2Ep18OEq_Nr9S2Du3-4xNkmTg/s1772/240128%20Beach%20Day%20scene%20card%202.2%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Handmade beach themed cards using Stampin Up Beach Day stamp set and dies bundle.

They're obviously useful for birthdays but for all occasions cards too.

As you can see above, it's an image with all sorts of possibilities. What to do? <br />The neutral and metallic colours, text, and circles in the image reminded me of the beautiful <b>Nature's Sweetness paper pack</b>, so I used lots of the prints in the pack to replicate the grid on my card.

Today's project is for an amazing milestone birthday celebrated by a friend of a friend this week and this week's <b><a href=" https://just-add-ink.blogspot.com/2024/02/just-add-ink-690fancy-folds.html" target="_blank">Just Add Ink Fancy Fold challenge</a></b>. And you all know I love a fun fancy fold.<span><br /> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>The card request was to include two of the recipient's favourite things - </span>reading and animals. I included the Scottie dogs from the Christmas Scottie stamp set (sadly retired), the stack of books image from the Bird's Eye View stamp set, and a pretty blue floral print from the Countryside Inn paper pack (which also has some animals on it). I also made a bookmark which you'll see below. <br />Here's how the card turned out.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_2ED776JTz1Bud5rwstNko31aDTssZWRsf1y34LSOT05BK9z5TXGNl-ty0uyTIqVQ9nqt1Hq5nVy9gAPAER8G7GZ1eYHYXwBOhPS5AqYiQFxlZ7wHWNWH9DW66n7YRALypvL9HpaGkTJqnxnvAGxJxsNeovLC1EZKxIcuJy1RLrOf8vvJbmo2RHYbcG0/s1772/240218%20Scottie%20Books%20100th%20birthday%20Val%203.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Handmade 100th birthday card faux centre step fancy fold card - by Diane Barnes - colourmehappy - cardmaking - stamping - stampinupcards" border="0" data-original-height="1772" data-original-width="1772" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_2ED776JTz1Bud5rwstNko31aDTssZWRsf1y34LSOT05BK9z5TXGNl-ty0uyTIqVQ9nqt1Hq5nVy9gAPAER8G7GZ1eYHYXwBOhPS5AqYiQFxlZ7wHWNWH9DW66n7YRALypvL9HpaGkTJqnxnvAGxJxsNeovLC1EZKxIcuJy1RLrOf8vvJbmo2RHYbcG0/w400-h400/240218%20Scottie%20Books%20100th%20birthday%20Val%203.jpg" title="Handmade 100th birthday card faux centre step fancy fold card - by Diane Barnes - colourmehappy - cardmaking - stamping - stampinupcards" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">You might remember that I used the base colours and papers on <b><a href="https://dianebarnes.blogspot.com/2023/11/dainty-delight-faux-centre-step-card.html" target="_blank">this card using Dainty Delight</a></b>.

Of course he had to be sitting on the books to fit the theme. The white Scottie peeking out from the 100 was heat embossed with clear powder on white, with some Smoky Slate ink blended around the edge.<br /><br />I coloured the book stack image (from Bird's Eye View) with memento Black ink and Stampin' Blends markers - light and dark Boho Blue and Balmy Blue. To get a wider blue range I added multiple layers of marker.

This is my team project for this week's <b><a href="https://just-add-ink.blogspot.com/2024/02/just-add-ink-687sketch.html" target="_blank">Just Add Ink sketch challenge</a></b>. <br />Australia loves a great beach - and we're lucky to have so many of them - so this bundle was a must have buy for me. Here's how my beachy card turned out.<br /><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPMA1l2nKJZCGjcZ6vr3vCJdzyzfZKlRw4Mv3r3k-OgzuaRky6xrV_PogYAFDzmPybM5h2EjiEhlWM5peMdX_kUtNo3ltopE1qNYTpB_zgDFCWcwDrC9RqdQHJ-TKlBfzHSZHezuVSPVEy2-qDq77F8ory5KhywBfoYOknylVOXPOFmTKtiHVpvjTFAao/s1772/240128%20Beach%20Day%20scene%20card%20JAI%20687%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Handmade beach themed card using Stampin Up Beach Day stamp and die bundle.

I like the pierced and embossed details on them. I added some shading with Stampin' Blends too.<br /><br />The stylised look of the dies inspired me to add the graphic paper for the sky (from the Countryside Inn pack). I cut this out with the Deckled Rectangle dies and added a border (Misty Moonlight). <br />The sand is made with the curved die in the set too.<br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW7OSl_b308nFDI78guErqUc0C0AF35QonxnFEPJAmxpNJhnjdw8leHHfC0iw9n-83aTXEFtkGFtc1Rt4_EwOEEegrgwDrmLYwCDSReQO_ihHQV7vB97rK8X1I2Ks6-UL0W3JcwjdmWGk0Q6396p0SYpiNz7xz0s96bCX5-TITj8fsGUkRr5kj5HzTpLE/s1772/240128%20Beach%20Day%20scene%20card%20JAI%20687%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Handmade beach themed card using Stampin Up Beach Day stamp and die bundle.

can't remember for the life of me what this fold is called - a double
gate fold maybe? The gate fold opens through the centre but it has an
extra piece attached at the back that adds a second layer. It's one of
the hardest cards to photograph but hopefully you'll get the idea. This is it pushed completely flat.<br /><br />Look at this beautiful paper. The painted floral paper images from the new Perennial Lavender paper pack are exquisite, and the kraft-crumb cake background adds an unsual and lovely feel. <br /></span></span></span></span></span></div><span><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div></span></span><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtrd_jKURPh6-xNYomrJEvoE8NTlvLgrEx63VnRTnYh-VDaTZp-f4r7pI1jtTwJxxEiIM_J7SqSrD00mcs7qz0HL1iCaYada7YMaGT2hqtObRPfs0AZdq0O0-tOySMxpRr7rscOTysfWUHN9NMT9QfOFQatjTM2FaQ4KgdHHusTmolu-4czgnGorkrkiE/s1772/240118%20Perennnial%20Lavender%20Fun%20Fold%20Card%20JAI%20685%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1772" data-original-width="1772" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtrd_jKURPh6-xNYomrJEvoE8NTlvLgrEx63VnRTnYh-VDaTZp-f4r7pI1jtTwJxxEiIM_J7SqSrD00mcs7qz0HL1iCaYada7YMaGT2hqtObRPfs0AZdq0O0-tOySMxpRr7rscOTysfWUHN9NMT9QfOFQatjTM2FaQ4KgdHHusTmolu-4czgnGorkrkiE/w400-h400/240118%20Perennnial%20Lavender%20Fun%20Fold%20Card%20JAI%20685%201.jpg" title="Handmade fun fold gate fold card featuring Stampin Up Perennial Lavender paper, Perennial Postage stamps and dies, Dainty Delight dies.

It's very easy, has lots of pretty paper use options, and definitely adds a wow look.<br /><br />I created some similar flowers to those on the paper with dies from the Dainty Delight dies and Stampin' Blends markers. There is a beautiful Perennial Lavender stamp and die bundle that coordinates with the suite but I don't have it yet so I experimented!<br /><br />I love the mixed font sentiment in the new coordinating Perennial Postage stamp set, which I teamed with the coordinating nested Perennial Postage dies. <br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkJerIjSVz0i6TH0Rk2Y-8X-YifPLsyMFdLIawX71qm0JujgpJlK7gabFqEPV790jqFN7XQ7q7iZiti1ZLMWxh9AX3_kUcZ6H0hiAsoqwS66XeiP8kSIWYpr3rtUF3sH6mgxPtnyWFzzsPzTXLvnH_PskDsZSZGYh3EnVi23R4XL7Ia21f7DQ_Sg-EdDY/s1772/240118%20Perennnial%20Lavender%20Fun%20Fold%20Card%20JAI%20685%208.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1772" data-original-width="1772" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkJerIjSVz0i6TH0Rk2Y-8X-YifPLsyMFdLIawX71qm0JujgpJlK7gabFqEPV790jqFN7XQ7q7iZiti1ZLMWxh9AX3_kUcZ6H0hiAsoqwS66XeiP8kSIWYpr3rtUF3sH6mgxPtnyWFzzsPzTXLvnH_PskDsZSZGYh3EnVi23R4XL7Ia21f7DQ_Sg-EdDY/w400-h400/240118%20Perennnial%20Lavender%20Fun%20Fold%20Card%20JAI%20685%208.jpg" title="Handmade fun fold gate fold card featuring Stampin Up Perennial Lavender paper, Perennial Postage stamps and dies, Dainty Delight dies.

Even better, it folds and looks good flat too. <br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />The trees and supporting elements from the Merriest Trees dies give so many decorating options. Take a look at the bottom of this post to see what's included. You'll be amazed at the design options they provide. <br /><br />This is how the cards look when flat.

The star on top is gold foil backed with an adhesive sheet, and cut with another die from the set.<br /><br />The sentiment is also from Merriest Trees, and the stitched die cut banner is from my fave Stylish Shapes dies.<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRP0wdbtjDJ05azqqOimdSmSlENN78g-qwovGUMq3kXmQS2dhWux1LOvSnuaRqDm-CgKb8534Pnz4DKBnUpA-9zEbvgXHdpWRL8An0xfGWBhtErQZHNB_HYrZMB56Z9kue1ZytjG9MORtAtcRr8Lk7Doh3WGT4tGGWmEoLNcziLyoiecTGpfBl9keysGI/s1772/231123%20Square%20Column%20Christmas%20tree%20cards%20JAI%20684%207.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Fancy fold square column Christmas card featuring Stampin Up Merriest Trees stamps and dies, Snowflake sky embossing folder, Joy of Christmas paper, Stylish Shapes dies.

the sizing of Rachael's card to suit A4 cardstock, and to enable two
bases to be cut from one sheet of cardstock, This ensures the card
design works both flat and open too and is economical for mass production. <ul style="text-align: left;"><li>A single base is 21cm x 14.8cm. <br /></li><li>The finished front (as shown above) is a little narrower than a standard base - <span>14.8cm x 9 cm wide.</span></li><li><span>Scorelines
- Score at 3cm, 6cm, 9cm, and 12cm. Very easy to remember. Use the
Simply Scored board for super quick and accurate scorelines, or a
scoring blade on your regular trimmer too.</span></li><li><span>The scored sections fold into a square and the end section is adhered to what becomes the inside panel.</span></li><li><span>I used three strips of paper for each card, plus two pieces of embossed card. <br /></span></li><li>I will<span><span> create and share a template for the base and decorating pieces if people request it but I don't have time today. <a href="https://stampyourartout.com/2023/09/layering-leaves-square-column-card.html" target="_blank"><b>You can watch Rachael's video too linked in her blog post here</b></a>. Just use my measurements if you're using A4 card. Thanks again, Rachael for sharing this fabulous design. <br /><br />Here's a pic of the card flattened out so so can see the back and more of the panels generally. Note that this isn't how it's placed in an envelope. I just wanted you to see all pieces flat.<br /></span></span></li></ul></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIiDmRfF0kAZU13dc-wHR7pv36NmppK1eKn40qygg_UT2YUfP1yruJ6Z_zrQkuck0llh9uU_s6w_VInE2El9FbH9sDi1QKNOmRugcQIf_RyVXVZp1Y3I_RsaCVBow7XpZ21E55eP6Z7rw8NeHfcG0i1yJdKNgA6r1Xy71SDm-eQCWyyx3jDnI20w0ChWQ/s1772/231123%20Square%20Column%20Christmas%20tree%20cards%20JAI%20684%204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Fancy fold square column Christmas card featuring Stampin Up Merriest Trees stamps and dies, Snowflake sky embossing folder, Joy of Christmas paper, Stylish Shapes dies.

Meggs, our cat was very interested - he clearly appreciates a good fancy fold too. First he just sat there and wanted attention. Then he checked whether it was a good place to rub, or maybe he was just picking his favourite. Either way he knocked over the card and was shooed away.

I hope you enjoyed seeing it and that it gives you some ideas to try yourself. You must head to the <b><a href=" https://just-add-ink.blogspot.com/2023/12/just-add-ink-684colour.html" target="_blank">Just Add Ink blog</a></b> too to see all the beautiful cards and fabulous ideas shared by the team.<br /><br />To make your own version, head to <a href=" https://s.tamp.in/qoYvRs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>my Stampin' Up website</b></a> to <a href=" https://s.tamp.in/qoYvRs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>see and shop the list of supplies</b></a> you'll need. <span>The main design elements are shown below too. Both the bundle and embossing folder are Christmas essentials in my book.<br /></span><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><b>Merriest Trees stamp set and die bundle</b> (available until 2 Jan as bundle discounted by 10%, then sold separately). The die set is so clever and has many great features you may not have noticed. </span><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span>You can stamp/cut and layer 4-5 tree sizes as each of the tree dies can be a layer or a whole tree.</span></li><li><span>The tree can have a trunk or a basket like I used here. The basket die can be used on many other cards as other containers.</span></li><li><span>The decorative strings die cuts 5 layers at once. That's enough to for one tree</span></li><li><span>The 5 point star has 2 layers - one solid and one outline. Use together or separately. There's also a star die to cut out the stamped image.<br /></span></li><li><span> There are 2 other star shaped dies.</span></li><li><span>The stitched tag is a really useful size to team with the trees, as a card layer or as a tag but can be used on many projects. It has a decorative stitched reinforcing die too (rectangle piece with two circles) that adds strength and interest.</span></li><li><span>As you'd expect, the dies cut out many of the stamp set images too, but did you notice there are 3 dies to cut out the stamped ornament shapes so you can cut out more at once.<br /></span></li></ul><span>The <b>Snowflake Sky 3d embossing folder</b> happily works in the background on either side, but still shines on its own too.<br /><br />The <b>Joy of Christmas paper pack</b> somehow manages to look modern and classic at the same time. Many sheets can be used all year round too.<br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span> </span><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRXOlpDNvs5CqlHBdQouxAyTsDIeaAZPqyobxCMGa_EtJrYYxK0nROFgbXV4CIBLNfdSjyGM6ratyQ55ORuRZNyBd-7YHh3NgwZ-2Pvb8jDRRVPt_JxCfL79bAjMAMSmc8A-lh5sm0OdrkWf1AsnS_t1-k6DsVs8hHLA7ZPcDR1u9OOhKmby1t9Mpz6xw/s1080/square%20column%20card%20supplies.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Fancy fold square column Christmas card featuring Stampin Up Merriest Trees stamps and dies, Snowflake sky embossing folder, Joy of Christmas paper, Stylish Shapes dies.

Today I have 15 fun cards to share with you made with the fabulous <b>Festive Tags kit</b>. The kit was designed by Stampin' Up! to make 15 beautiful tags but it was really easy turning them into Christmas cards instead. <br /><br />I loved the colours and images included, so over a weekend I played with the pieces in the kit and made 15 different cards. I added only cardstock (and some embossing with the Snowflake Sky 3d embossing folder). <br /><span><span><span><span><span><br />I hope this idea will be helpful l to
anyone like me who's still making Christmas cards, or any super
organised people prepping for next Christmas.</span></span></span></span></span> Take a look at how they turned out.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggKmbqKs6W5Mi305JoD7M1uMJqc3x4_hV5ULmnUM-gswLjiRpZ1ycCj8uiorOngdwy8-Mupix5mVYR3OEKiM37TDmbVt61tLYcFxZJKXEURN-Dk7q8RI1pVHLUIIBc3ytOGl6qHDs95Jd8NJgTgrwYDvNj1Zcg0NcWemlHmdN-s2uMkl1vEBhAb1mp1us/s1772/231119%20Festive%20Tags%20Kit%20cards%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="15 Handmade Christmas cards using Stampin Up Festive Tags Kit.

flower. The kit includes lots of shaped pieces and self adhesive
sentiments as the kit tags have multiple layers, so there were lots of
options to mix and match.

cards made with half a sheet of A4 card (21cm x 14.8cm, so a 10.5cm x 14.8cm front).</span></span><span><span> <br />If you're in the US or Canada using 8.5 x 11 inch card instead of A4, your standard card base is shorter and wider than mine, but the layouts will still work.<br /></span></span></li><li class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span><span>I only used the kit pieces, plus
cardstock for the card bases and any strips or matting.</span></span></span><span><span> <br /></span></span></li><li class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span>The colours used
for the card bases and any other layers are: Thick Basic White, Crumb
Cake, Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, & a single piece of Real Red. In
hindsight, the Real Red panel could have been any of the other colours but hey, I was playing and having fun).</span><span><br /></span></span></li><li><span>I
don't have measurements for any of the designs. I literally just cut
the pieces as I created the layouts. Knowing the base size above, you can work out close measurements. If you really get stuck with any, leave a comment and I'll try to help. </span></li><li>Some have panels embossed with the beautiful Snowflake Sky 3d embossing folder. This <span>gives a
lovely, stepped up look, but I decided to use plain cardstock for most, which I think looks good too.</span></li><li><span>There's no stamping on the front (shock!). The kit sentiment options looked great and worked really well.

This week's <b><a href="https://just-add-ink.blogspot.com/2023/12/just-add-ink-682sketch.html" target="_blank">Just Add Ink challenge</a></b> is a sketch and I do love a good sketch. This worked well for a special milestone birthday card for a very special woman.<br />She loves her garden so of course I wanted to make something pretty and floral. I remembered I had some gorgeous (though retired) Dainty Flowers patterned paper that would be perfect for it so I used it for the whole card, fun fold and all. Take a look.<br /><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr3y0yDJpcuCHQ8tqN8qQfzMiC9QWpxU_VyuoVe0iNP-mygbVKtOcg3VigVbWL0HqsVziUQjfSFKRQp78b9ewqovMeayRDgYHQNVRXojmMdFmBHvkxMcqd1QAK0G1ztPWDPGXZTYALnnFGayi7ViY_rXxilyTeyXNiURjKZwAUkGjprFqdJCcu7ktXFYs/s1772/231206%20Dainty%20Delight%2080th%20birthday%20JAI682%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr3y0yDJpcuCHQ8tqN8qQfzMiC9QWpxU_VyuoVe0iNP-mygbVKtOcg3VigVbWL0HqsVziUQjfSFKRQp78b9ewqovMeayRDgYHQNVRXojmMdFmBHvkxMcqd1QAK0G1ztPWDPGXZTYALnnFGayi7ViY_rXxilyTeyXNiURjKZwAUkGjprFqdJCcu7ktXFYs/s1772/231206%20Dainty%20Delight%2080th%20birthday%20JAI682%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwQUvfrkL68LGq1EsseMZ2LTm6LruJiI0n2g5cHTuW3t7FOfGc6dn3PZVXdTOJlU49CKt1an-l4DF7emA6WtfSTbqcKh_ZkjioMRkJ3-FMWqVBSPNuAj_A46kINaOD0V-QdRrulVgZqbp1oSaoie4ev-rYcpuM_I0rurHjT__yZ5k29v24sDa94SfRk_k/s1772/231206%20Dainty%20Delight%2080th%20birthday%20JAI682%203.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="80th birthday fun fold square column card using Stampin' Up!

the tall bottle image onto Parakeet Party cardstock, punched it out with
the coordinating Vintage Bottle punch, and added the sentiment in
Granny Apple Green.<br /><br />The wide bottle is stamped in Sweet Sorbet
ink and fussy cut out. I wanted to continue the holly theme from the
pretty patterned paper being used for the background to come out of the
bottle, so I pulled out a fave retired set and stamped and fussy cut.
Some red rhinestones (retired, but you can easily colour regular
rhinestones with a Stampin' Blends marker added some shine.<br /><br /></span>Inside is a coordinating sentiment from Joy to You, and a couple more bottles.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2bOSvPiTMr5QXRomun1m95PILB1RD_jzetKwb50QnWB0XfllPuhVroyy2UQ9q34FQdzzLjgBUdyIoB7aNWjhTVWgH2Jcrrl9-theiZsnvm6Ex-PII9daUKd38SfPVmeL81v-cOWZsQ0-ppZK_B8iHXxNcbFy2UiY74HYX0XW7Fh1cDGOgLSo2rDp5rcI/s1772/231122%20Joy%20to%20You%20-%20Bottled%20Happiness%20Christmas%20Card%20JAI%20680%203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Handmade Christmas card with bottle and cheer theme.

When you're finished here, <b><a href=" https://just-add-ink.blogspot.com/2023/11/just-add-ink-680just-add-alcohol.html" target="_blank">head to the Just Add Ink blog</a></b> to see how my fellow teamies worked the challenge too. Lots of fun cards to see.<br /><br />An important note before I go. All the Christmas items I used except the tag die (Joy of Christmas paper, and Joy to You stamp set) are all now on the Last Chance retirement list and only available while stocks last until January 2nd, so get them now if you love them.<br /><br />I hope you liked my card idea or something else in the project caught your eye to try too.

However it does looks much more distinct and the sentiment less so in the pic than in real life (the result of poor light and high ISO photography I think).<br /><br />I applied Dimensionals to the back and mounted it on a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock, to create some shadow. I embossed the base panel with the crosshatch pattern from the Basics embossing folder pack.<br /><br />A second curved, floral stem (Dainty Delight) in Soft Sea Foam card with some highlights of <span>Stampin' Blends markers in light and dark Soft Sea Foam</span> is offset on top of the panelSome pearls finished off the stem.<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9v46IkSFeTlBt-RMeUof2OZRRPpVQnBzUOXHoUkhSOfFesYap5p56iDBDTvgXn-PQxUe_NLJTcO9vHorpRbDbnwkz8axPalw7zaOCseDOtghdB8ycorf6RuelFBYJkNGb4H8_z_RtKzmbRlaIjH8cs3lRPKEEc0gh9FRO-GBf7DaZvw1owjhEg1CUcHI/s1772/231108%20Dainty%20Delight%20thinking%20of%20you%20card%20JAI%20678%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Thinking of you card made with Stampin' Up Dainty Delight dies, Layering Leaves stamps, Timeworn Type and Basics embossing folders.

The retired Subtle embossing folder would have been my usual and I think
more subtle patter choice for the white panel. <span>I
also wish I'd left off the three flowers. I initially thought they
added some more subtle detail but I think now that they detract from the
pretty stem.</span> Maybe I'll make version two with those differences, as I need another thinking of you card to.<br /><br />Meanwhile, inside I've repeated themes from the front. I do love that stem.</span></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ_AsJpXRIDpI-u2qNra0LfTFhSvqIEg6sDGNSwL-BMAZW8_rlWB6KzIAwdlKpIfaCM06bWCo6bMLlHcStXtApQClf2dDzVEZhVcMkfMcNyPuZewm3Yz0PsEnCawCYdVeniIx5vsm1DIBHHbcclK3KqDwLd4ewJ0ojV7ViQia2mfk6Mqk2jcXtMdq8Gb0/s1772/231108%20Dainty%20Delight%20thinking%20of%20you%20card%20JAI%20678%203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Thinking of you card made with Stampin' Up Dainty Delight dies, Layering Leaves stamps, Timeworn Type and Basics embossing folders.

I'm not that fond of pumpkins (except for in pumpkin scones) or orange in general so what to make?<br /><br />A sweet little birdie from the Bird's Eye View stamp set with pumpkin like dimensions and colours was the fun answer for me.

I thought the combination of Fresh Freesia, Berry Burst, Pretty Peacock, and gold suggested by Rochelle could be tricky, but they really work nicely together. <br /><br />I chose to use the sweet and whimsical Just My Type stamp to create a fun fold card - apparently called an expanding accordion card. I teamed the stamp images with a handmade striped background made of card strips in each of the challenge colours.

One of my dear card making friends, Leesa, gave me a lovely birthday card last month with this fold and I knew I had to try it myself. She said she'd found <b><a href="https://lisasstampstudio.com/2022/06/diy-fathers-day-card-expanding-accordion-fun-fold-card.html" target="_blank">this fab card and post by US Demo, Lisa Curcio</a></b>, which you can check out too. You can also see my friend's beautiful card at the bottom of the post.<br /><br />I used my friend Leesa's card to figure out the card structure. I simplified the base and made it fit our A4 card and C6 envelopes in Australia, and the images I used, so my card is slightly taller and narrower.

Today I have a new share for the <b><a href="https://just-add-ink.blogspot.com/2023/09/just-add-ink-672sketch.html" target="_blank">Just Add Ink design team</a></b>. Nikki gave us a super flexible sketch to work with and I immediately thought Christmas cards!... and not just because it's almost October and time is a ticking. The sketch looked perfect for the beautifully elegant Shining Brightly specialty paper pack, as there are two colourways of the same design, all foiled in gold. I chose the leafy design and teamed it with the Layering Leaves stamp set to create some elegant Christmas cards, Here's the first of four cards I made.<br /><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLwDIUW-HE9-zkOD73ZWgSzXhEdCPTJ2-Pf_VqmO9MwnNk4aTSD-7gRjra6SGokfUJ03P83RlBiW73S8yi-yxWaf9h0Q4XFnIOv3M1579qubcmD08hLyIsr2D9UvJR5Hhh04LmHuQT1A78oPxjcZfxVyImR-UzApMUJ9Wc44nKZE6JPs79UbX0-UB3e2Q/s1772/230925%20Layering%20Leaves%20christmas%20JAI%20sketch%20challenge%20672%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Handmade mistletoe Christmas cards for ways using Stampin' Up!

It's an image challenge with a fun snowy winter scene. I was of course drawn to the colours - any opportunity to use Coastal Cabana - and set about creating a card with a bright birthday vibe with a colour blocked background, using my new Circle Sayings stamp set and circle punch bundle. Here's how it turned out.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgucer_0ux_o9jD31jG5e6o17dSThMcx1MSGs9Y8joYEiGbwfRdJzf7EMQ76ShxYznwBW1HPHQLaNjZa9Gyx6Rx_dUItlAx5sCH8_DznrbmO8b-AG1l9ryvdQ-ZkS28UmfeEgElzKaP9_ljGwdGnWCq6oMVhRYMKjbSKkrT0BQpmcO9sUFyLGjONCF22fE/s1772/230816%20celebrate%20cupcake%20JAI%20666%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="colour blocked cupcake birthday card made with Stampin Up Circle Saying stamp set and bundle, circle punch, Stylish Shapes dies, Nested Essentials dies, Zoo Crew paper.

I chose Coastal Cabana, Tahitian Tide, Bubble Bath cardstock and a dotty print (a nod to the snow in the challenge image) from the Zoo Crew paper pack.<br />You could recreate this with many colours and shapes.

I coloured the cupcake with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers (Pool Party, Tahitian Tide, Bubble Bath and light Petal Pink) and fussy cut the cupcake. There are lots of other images to choose from in Circle Sayings. Check out the pic further down this post <br /><br />I punched out the stamped layer with the 2-3/8 inch circle punch in the bundle, then layered it onto one of the stitched Stylish Shapes circles. I love when you find good layering options! PS. The lovely stitched effect is hard to see in the pic but it definitely adds a nice detail.<br /><br /><b>Tip</b>: To give the cupcake a curved effect I added two layers of Dimensionals up the centre of the image and glue dots on the left and right edges. This is something I picked up at a recent SU event in Ballarat. Thanks, Simone!<br /><br />Inside is another cupcake and die cut sentiment from the Wanted to Say die set. This has a lovely two layer effect. I'd initially thought I'd use it on the front but didn't in the end. So waste not want not. It's Melon Mambo - a lovely bright pink - but does not look like it in the pic. You could easily use this as a card front for a nice clean and simple look.<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqKGYUlCIfIcDHQXinEBUsaa0wJKRyD0X0Owv4KrTWx8OgAsg6Fb48haxYMqN1js0_64te2G-L82hQnrunGEV32r0jibggKEJDrcPsHbKHmw88SonDbZywIIdRm6cpQReBHrue9j6QpuNOWcO2GaqgYEhlU0GCKYBYcKRu4evb4d_VhjsJAj_kAxLJM3s/s1772/230816%20celebrate%20cupcake%20JAI%20666%203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="colour blocked cupcake birthday card made with Stampin Up Circle Saying stamp set and bundle, circle punch, Stylish Shapes dies, Nested Essentials dies, Zoo Crew paper.

I did think my usual 'but owls aren't purple and green' but decided it's just fun!<br /><br />I also stamped the 'for you' sentiment from Layering Leaves in Lost Lagoon. This set has such a fab set of sentiments for all sorts of occasions in beautiful fonts so do check it out below and <a href="https://s.tamp.in/lz6JaC" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">in my store</a>.<br /><br />The owls and sentiment are fussy cut with but happily the leaves are punched out using the Bough punch. So much easier.<br /><br />Everything is mounted onto a banner from the Essential Labels die set, some vellum. Then the whole piece is mounted on top of three long hexagon die shapes (also Essential Labels dies - a must have in my book as the stitched looks add so much easy details and there are so many useful options and the shapes to add interest.

This design name
currently escapes me so please leave me a comment if you know what it's
called.<br /><br />I started by creating a soft, stamped background using a few of the stamps in the Artistically Inked stamp set. Then I added texture to the panel using the floral folder in the Basics 3d embossing folder. I adhered the whole panel to my Fresh Freesia card base and then cut the slits in the front.I love how much this folder adds to the tactile feel and look of the card. <br /><br />The beautiful <b>Artistic</b> floral die cut is a layer of Fresh Freesia and white card with some hand cut vellum adhered behind. The vellum softens but doesn't obscure the stamped panel.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdVsUQ7EC4Dkbd9kI41OdfVWE5jY1PVM4ERiVxU_UgWoxKS5u2P_73Y7bdhmDsaCDkRQ9RiK3A5Ctj5KOOLUC13D0AVw56ojH1hZnW4ouH89NAJwjPESapf3n0DKjpcWxXlYqiSMqvXIrVAJOo5_gHxLIVnNf99L8Mj3RDCTUUVXQzBQ1FuWsj8qtTNsA/s1772/230719%20Artistically%20Inked%20split%20front%20card%20JAI%20662%204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Soft pretty pastel floral card featuring Stampin Up Artistically Inked and Go to Greetings stamps, Artistic and Stylish Shapes dies.

of stitched banners from my favourite Stylish Shapes dies. Some pretty
Iridescent Rhinestones and Loose Silver Sequins add the finishing touch.

This week Kerry challenged us to add a die cut inlay to our project. Thankfully my card came together pretty quickly as it's been a bit of a huge week. I went very clean and simple, creating this card using the one of the beautiful Meadow dies, Stampin Blends markers and sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set.

The colours I used are Granny Apple Green Light & Dark, and Lemon Lime Twist Light & Dark. <br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitW-NtDTxtmsjpKIHVXDLLakJCJ8KwiAko5cUglYSW9fLXtBFdbBqRVJiuJTcEH5a_lqv-tOfiXiP_5vfxqhcUJC1VhOj9saqM58LsOreR9GZZSebdopH4HWaHI2TpDujHcu3WtTHKR0-9FW82jc-HUB3vbGTrvuvCGMOYNpNhCNlfN9PsVTnes4WalIk/s1772/230704%20Meadow-Go%20to%20Greetings%20thinking%20of%20you%20JAI%20660%202.2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="thinking of you card using Stampin Up Meadow dies, Stylish Shapes dies, Go to Greetings stamp set.

I know the pic is not showing the lime part but I just couldn't get the light-camera-editing to make show it properly. Trust me that it definitely looks look much more green.<br /><br />I do love how placing the shapes back in the card creates a seamless look. Oh I forgot to mention that I used my trust retired Subtle embossing folder on the panel.

instead of thick, since the Grove die would be cutting through two
layers of card. Then I placed and cut the die over the folded front. <br /><br />It
actually cut like a dream. I wouldn't normally recommend two card
layers but the white is so smooth, the die is so solid, and I was
really careful to check it wasn't too thick to roll through.<br /><br />Next
step was to cut the front die cut layer down to fit over the base cut
and added the Starry Sky layer behind with a little offset for a shadow
effect. As it turned out, my front piece was a little out, but
offsetting the layer a little worked. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">I found the colourful retired striped paper in my scrap box too - the name escapes me though - and loved how it added a fun, graphic look to the die cut pieces. I completely covered the inside panel with it. I'll write a message on the back of the card which I backed with a white card layer. You could easily make your own striped background with strips of card - meeting the strip part of the challenge too. ;)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Finally it was time for a sentiment and some sequins and gems. My <b>Love For You dies</b>
worked beautifully for the look I wanted. I cut the main layer in Starry Sky card to match

There are so many useful ones in the set aside from the obvious pansy stamps.<br /><br />The stitched frame is made with the retired Rectangle Stitched dies set, and the card front has a layer of card embossed with my eternal favourite, the Subtle folder - both of which are still firmly part of my collection.<br /><br />Did you spot the pretty little iridescent heart pearls too? They're also retired but the regular iridescent pearls will work beautifully too.<br /><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEX3Me2hYbmOFOV0hvkf_9WYd59X6YCdxpQOtMi8ne-3-7vSqK59uYkm-uBqYcpnZfKmFek8cploYVTr8QgzyE_vUX5AVZ2B4i2_S8352m2VPZpCffTZETbaMGNOR35XaIul-ZncBWHsVhOb-xGwRccRTY1WsWs3PAucqOs9A4bHXQCCX1lH_BX59U/s1772/230607%20Rainbow%20of%20Happiness%20and%20love%20C%20JAI%20656%204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Handmade rainbow love you card made with Stampin Up supplies.
