Napkin Fold Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards

I have been wanting to make a Napkin Fold card using reds and purples! Of course, it is for a Red Hat Lady! When I saw the current challenge at Just Rite Inspiration is to use more than one fold on a card, I got busy!

The card begins with a 12" x 12" piece of red Recollections paper. Purple paper is Bazzill and the purple check is Recollections. The paper inside the card is DCWV Posies Glitter print. Choosing where to use the different papers took awhile, but I am pleased with the results!

I followed the tutorial at Splitcoaststampers. The paper is scored at 3" and 9", then turn the paper. Score again at 3" and 9". Now the fun begins with all the folding! Check out the tutorial and video for the complete instructions.

Inside of the card! 

Spellbinders Nestabilities:

Eyelet Circles - Sentiment circles on the band. Blossom for the small floral mat on the band.

Label 10 - Sentiment mats on the inside of the card. 

Just Rite Spellbinders - Corners

Just Rite Stamps: Old Friends Set on the band. Nested Sentiments on the inside. I am still learning to work with stamps!

Martha Stewart: Flower Shower Punch Around the Page set. Also the fern greenery...I do not know that name.

Cricut Cartridge: Lacy Labels. The rolled rose is on Heart3 which is the 4th image from the right on the last row. The rose is cut using the layer feature and cut at 12". I know that sounds really large but you see the finished size. This is my first time trying a rolled rose-- need more practice, but I am liking these flowers

Recollections gemstones, pop-dots on the band, white ribbon from stash. Color Box lilac and Versa Magic Gingerbread inking.

Challenges:

Just Rite - Ch. 080 More Than One Fold

Hope you enjoy this Napkin Fold card and are inspired to try one too! This is a bulky card so it needs a box or may be hand delivered.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch 91 Back 'n Forth

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Thanks for stopping by today! It is time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! The theme for Challenge 91 is Back 'n Forth. Our design team sister Marge asked us to use an accordion/fan fold as one of the elements on the project. My card measures 5" x 7" and is cut from white cardstock.

Designer papers are Greetings of the Season 2009 Hobby Lobby. Hmm, I have had these papers for a long time!

I enjoyed playing with some new Just Rite and Spellbinders crafting supplies on this card. 

For the fan fold rosette, I cut a 1" x 12" strip of the poinsettia paper and scored it at each 1/4" using the Martha Stewart Scoreboard. Edge of the rosette is cut with the Martha Stewart Poinsettia Flourish edge punch.

Cricut Cartridge: Lacy Labels - Two scallop circles in the center of the rosette are cut at 1.5". This is the Joy image which is the last image on the second row. The decorative brad in the center is Anna Griffin Holiday brads, an after-Christmas purchase last year.

Cuttlebug: Swiss Dots on the white scallop circle.

Cheery Lynn - French Pastry Doily Dies for the white doily under the rosette.

Just Rite Stamps - Christmas Nested Frames & Occasions. The sentiment is stamped with Martha Stewart red and green inks. I used a Martha Stewart red colored pencil for the berries.

Spellbinders: Just Rite Custom Dies for the corners and the two sentiment blocks.

Bo Bunny Wraps: Pretty burgundy crushed/crinkled wide ribbon under the doily.

The white doily and the sentiment blocks are pop-dotted on the card. Bow is from Christmas trim that I have had for many years.

Visit My Sheri Crafts to see the lovely and inspiring projects by the talented design team and our guest designer. For more details on the projects, please visit each of the blogs. Don't forget to leave a little love! We do appreciate your visits and comments!

Now it is your turn to play along with us. You must include an accordion/fan fold as one of the elements. This can be simply a strip, fan, rosette--whatever you imagine! We look forward to seeing your creations!

I appreciate your visits and comments!

Challenge:

Just Rite - Challenge #78 - Christmas in July ends August 8

Just Rite color challenge

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Thanks for stopping by today! Today's card is inspired by the Just Rite Challenge # 075 - Color Challenge of Aqua, Apricot, and Orange. When I saw the colors for the challenge and the design team's pretty and inspirational work, I thought of some K&Company double-sided papers that I have had for a long time. Sometimes a friend and I will buy paper pads and divide the papers. These are such papers and I do not know the name of this particular K&Company pad. These are not colors that I normally use, but I enjoyed working with the papers and colors for the challenge!

Card is 5" x 6 1/2" brown cardstock and is layered with a patterned 5" X 6 1/2" designer paper. The design is a play with one of the sketches from June 2012 PageMaps.

I know you are seeing a lot of rosettes on my projects lately but I enjoy making rosettes. The designer paper is cut 1" and scored at each 1/4". An aqua blue brad is placed in the middle and then I added the rhinestone for a bit of bling!

Cricut Cartridge: Lovely Floral - Butterfly cut 1.75". Stickles used on the butterfly for a little bling. Would you believe I could not find the appropriate size rhinestones in my stash!

Just Rite - Friendship Nested Sentiments. Yay! I received a few more stamps!

Spellbinders Nestabilities - Class Scalloped Rectangles Largest used on the mats and third largest used on the sentiment mat.

Spellbinders M-Bossabilities - Splendid Design B

Trims are from a friend! Thanks so much Charlotte. I enjoyed working with the pretty trims on the card!

Other supplies include aqua rhinestones and Versa Magic Gingerbread inking. The Sentiment mat and butterfly are pop-dotted.

Be sure to visit Just Rite challenge blog and see all the great inspiration by the design team. You have until Wednesday June 27 at 6:00 P.M. Central to enter your project!
