Monday Mystery Stamping – 11/4/24

Vertical/Portrait card:
Clue #1… gather your supplies, All measurements in inches.
If you cut 2 pieces of 8-1/2 x 11 cardstock at the same time with these measurements, you will have the pieces to complete 2 cards. I have listed the pieces for only 1 card.
Cardstock Base: 
1 @ 11 x 8-1/2, cut according to the below diagram resulting in:
Base 5-1/2 x 6-1/2, scored at 4-1/4 on the 6-1/2 side
Inside Layer 5-1/4 x 4
Layer for on white cardstock 4-3/4 x 3-1/2
Flap Layer (I embossed this piece) 2 x 5-1/4 on the front of the card

If cutting 2 pieces of cardstock together, you will have 4 pieces each for 2 cards.

Basic White or Very Vanilla:
1 @ 7-1/2 x 5, score at 3-3/4 on the long side
DSP:
1 @ 3-1/4 x 4-1/2 for the top of the white card base and layer
1@ 2 x 5-1/4 for the inside of the base card flap
Ribbons:
1 @ 20″ This goes under the DSP and colored layer onto of the white folded card. The ribbon wraps around behind the card base. You can make this card open either direction, just make that choice before adhering DSP inside the flap.

My card opens with the fold on the left. The DSP on the right is inside the card when closed.

Below, the front flap is showing on the righthand side. I embossed the layer.

Die cut(s) and sentiment for the center of the front of the card.

I hope you like this fun-fold card! Please join us if you like to make a card without knowing what it is until you are done!!

Paper Crafting Blog Hop – Autumn!

6 Comments

So happy you are hopping through our October Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world featuring cards for the season we have right now! Being in the Northern Hemisphere, it is Autumn, my favorite season! Below my card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.

My card features the Frosted Forest Decorative Masks (#164350), a part of the Frosted Forest Bundle (#164137) which also includes the Frosted Forest Stamp Set (#164344).

My card base is Cajun Craze, with a layer of Crushed Curry. Next, I cut a strip of the Regals DSP (#163774) and added it over the Crushed Curry. The top layer was cut from Basic Beige using the Countryside Corners Dies (#161471). I stamped the tree in Early Espresso and Pecan Pie. Using Blending Brushes (#153611) and Real Red, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry and the masks, I colored the tree. The masks make it so easy to create a beautiful, realistic tree!! A few flicks with an Old Olive Stampin’ Write Marker for grass completed my card.
