Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges #141|Fancy Fold


Hello and welcome to another Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week we have been set a Fancy Fold Challenge.

It was my Granddaughter Molly's 18th Birthday this week so I decided to create a circle flip card for her.


To construct this card I cut of piece of cardstock 22cm x14cm then scored it at 5.5cm, 7.5cm, 15cm along the long edge.
I then placed the 6.5cm circle die from the retiring Layering Circles die set at the die circles half way mark on the first fold edge. I lined up the plate for the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine just on the fold edge and cut the half circle. Next I placed the plate edge on the next fold and cut the last quarter of the circle, leaving the centre section between the two folds uncut. I then folded along the score lines in concertina style to create a flip card. See photographs below.  It was a bit tricky and I did have a couple of failures in the process.



To create the DSP panels I used the next size up circle die to cut the circle after penciling in the required positions.

Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges #140|Colour Challenge

Hello and welcome to another Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week we have been set a colour challenge. The colours being Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody and Polished Pink and sadly at the end of the month these are some of the colours we will be bidding farewell to.

I felt that this colour combination gave me a holiday or 'beachy' feeling so I have used the sweet Sunny Splash stamp set for my submission today. Another retiring product. 
  

I have stamped the swimsuits from the stamp set in the three challenge colours and then  created three different card layouts. My first card has a centre basic white panel that lifts up to reveal the sentiment inside.



My next card has the folded edge at the top of the card front.


The third card is side opening with a shorter front revealing the 2.5cm strip of designer series paper adhered to the inside right side of the card.
