Fun Fold Fridays – Double Point

April 23, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Hello my Friday friends!

Getting creative with folds today! I’ve got a Double Point fold today with a twist!

And, a view from the others side –

I started with a piece of soon-to-retire, Peony Garden* Designer Series Paper –

I cut it 4″ x 9 1/4″, this way I can get three from one sheet of 12″ x 12″! I scored it at 2″ and 7 1/4″. From the ends, I made 2 score lines from the center at 2″ down, 45°. (I actually used my retired Diagonal Plate for this.)

Here are couple more pictures from the top –

Opened –

Now, my scores and folds make more sense!

The center white piece is 4 7/8″ x 3 3/4″.

For the outer connecting piece, I used the retiring Stitched Nested Labels* –

They are on sale for $28.00, down from $35.00!

The Floral Essence* stamp set was perfect for the sentiment and flower. And, it is also on sale at $10.20, regularly $17.00!

All in all, it would not cost much to recreate this card using these retiring products!

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Got another great challenge for you today!

I incorporated both the ‘more than one fold’ and the layout –

Yes, another fun fold –

Fully opened –

Soo sweet, right?

I started with a strip of Peony Garden* Designer Series Paper, it’s retiring soon. You can get three cards from one 12″ x 12″ sheet! I so love this idea!

I die cut one edge using the aslo retiring Magnolia Memory Dies* –

What a fantastic buy at $8.75, they were $35.00! These dies pair with the Good Morning Magnolia* stamp set, also retiring –

I used the Hello sentiment in a Trio of Tags die cut. I added a die cut flower and leaves on the outside from the same dies.

Such a sweet card – and soo easy!

Lots of items are retiring this month and the Clearance Rack has been updated.

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest layout challenge –

I put together several soon-to-retire items (marked with an asterisk) to create this lovely card –

I started with the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper* –

Using the Stamparatus, I stamped the sentiment from So Sentimental* onto the pattern paper –

I did this for a couple of reasons. I wanted the image to be evenly stamped. Stamping on pattern paper can be lighter than expected, so I stamped the a few times. As you can see, it made a nice evenly stamped image.

I covered my Petal Pink card base completely using the Designer Series Paper. Past that, I followed the sketch.

I thought it is a lovely card, just waiting for a special occasion to mail it to.

There are lots of great products on the retiring list. Get your awesome buys before they are gone!

For more inspiration, check out the Design Team creations on our Create with Connie and Mary blog.

Create a card using our challenge and you can post it on our Facebook page. We’d love to see you!
