Yesterday I asked that you come back to my site today to see a cutie!  This cutie features the Stampin Up Mosaic Madness Stamp Set, Modern Mosaic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, and Mosaic Punch.  Now, isn’t it a cutie?  Well, I sure thank so!

What do you think about the color combination?  I love it!  Although we are approaching September and a lot of Stampin Up crafters are gravitating toward fall colors, I’m not.  I love color – bolds and pastels.  The following picture provides a closer look at the colors used. Stampin Up Mosaic Madness Stamp Set

The base of the card is Stampin Up Pacific Point Card Stock.  The second layer is Stampin Up Crushed Curry Card Stock that includes a stamped border from the Stampin Up Mosaic Madness Stamp Set.  The third layer is Stampin Up Bermuda Bay Card Stock that is also framed with a stamped border from the stamp set.  Can you guess the color of the fourth layer?  Give it a try and let me know your guess in the comment section of this post (chat bubble beside the title).

Now, I have to admit that although I purchased it, I was not too fond of the Stampin Up Mosaic Madness Stamp Set.  But I decided to force myself to create (can you imagine forcing a card maker to create?) a card that featured all things Mosaic!  With the color combination, I think it turned out quite well.  I will use the Stampin Up Mosaic Madness Stamp Set again. 🙂

The picture below gives you a peek into the inside of the card:

Stampin Up Trust God and Mosaic Madness Stamp Sets

It’s the beginning of a weekend and I am ready for it!  I hope everyone has a blessed one!  My card share today features two stamp sets, the Stampin Up Trust God and Mosaic Madness sets.  Also featured on the card is the Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Stampin Up Trust God

The base for this card is made with Pool Party Card Stock.  The first layer on the card is a design from the Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Although I like the design, I think it is a bit “loud”.  Therefore, I tried to tone it down by covering it with solid colors that are within the design.  The colors used are Pool Party, Strawberry Slush, Daffodil Delight, and Island Indigo.  I think I was successful in muting the design.

Gate Fold Card Tutorial Using Window Frames Framelits

Posted on by

I have for you today a Gate Fold Card Tutorial that uses the Stampin’ Up! Window Frames Collection Framelits, Feel Goods Stamp Set, Mosaic Madness Stamp Set, and Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Series Paper.  This is a gate fold card that I created and I have not seen this type of card before.  It is a card cut and folded in the shape of a framelit or die.

GATE FOLD CARD TUTORIAL USING WINDOW FRAMES FRAMELITS:

Step 1:  Cut an 11″ x 4-1/4″ piece of card stock (the size of card stock can vary, depending on the framelit used).  I used the new Strawberry Slush Card Stock (131295).

Step 2:  Score on the 11″ side at 3 1/2″, 4 1/2″, 6 1/2″, and 7 1/2″.

Step 3:  Starting from the left side, fold the score lines in this order: valley fold, mountain fold, mountain fold, and valley fold.

Step 4:  Crease the score lines well so the card stock will lay flat for the next step.

Step 5:  Lay the largest framelit from the  Window Frames Collection Framelits  (129021) onto the folded card, making sure to center it top to bottom and exactly around the mountain folds. Use a temporary tape to hold the die in place. Cut using Big Shot Die Cutting Machine (113439).

 RESULTS:

Step 6:  Cut a 6″ x 5-1/4″ piece of designer series paper.  I used Stampin’ Up! Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Step 7:  Lay the second to the largest framelit from the Window Frames Collection onto the piece of designer series paper.  Cut using the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, and then cut the piece in half.

Step 8:  Adhere one piece of the designer series paper to the left side of the Gate Folded Card and the other to the right side.

Step 9:  You may need to cut off a very small portion of the top and bottom ends of the designer series paper if they overlap the card base.

Step 10:  Lay the third largest framelit onto a piece of card stock and cut using the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine.  I used Stampin’ Up!’s Daffodil Delight Card Stock.

Step 11.  Stamp a sentiment onto a piece of Whisper White Card Stock and cut it out using the fourth largest framelit. I used a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Feel Goods Stamp Set.

Step 12:  Adhere the Whisper White Card Stock with the sentiment onto the piece of card stock cut out in step 10 above.

Step 13.  To achieve dimension, adhere the sentiment piece onto the left side of the card base with foam adhesive.

Step 14.  Cut and adhere a small piece of Whisper White Card Stock into the inside of the card for your personal note.  (I used a stamp image from the Mosaic Madness Stamp Set at the top of the Whisper White Card Stock.)

If you followed along with the Gate Fold Card Tutorial, you’ll now have a beautiful and unique card.  I think you’ll love the outcome!

 God’s Blessings!

Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper and Mosaic Madness Stamp Set

What do you think of the new Stampin’ Up! Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper and Mosaic Madness Stamp Set?

I am excited about both of these new products, which I have featured on my card share today.  Three paper designs from the Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper (130141) and one stamp from the Mosaic Madness Stamp Set (130249) were used on the card.  Also featured is the new Stampin’ Up! Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder (129984).

Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper and Mosaic Madness Stamp Set

The colors of the designs from the Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper and Mosaic Madness Stamp Set stamp images on the card are Stampin’ Up!’s Pool Party, Island Indigo, Strawberry Slush (doesn’t that name sound yummy?), and Whisper White.  The Strawberry Slush is a new “In-Color”.

I embossed the piece of Whisper White Card Stock with the new Stampin’ Up! Mosaic Madness Embossing Folder. To add color to the raised parts of the embossing, I did something different from what you will read on other websites, etc.  After embossing the paper, I used a Pool Party Classic Ink Pad (the old type of pad) and gently swiped the raised embossed sections until I got the desired effect.  I tried this with a new foam pad and it didn’t work at all as it was too soft (because of the foam) and inky.

After allowing the ink to dry, I stamped an image from the Mosaic Madness Stamp Set over three of the mosaic patterns.  Inside these images I stamped the words “Love You” and wrote the word “I”.  The “love you” words are from the Stampin’ Up! Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set (120501).    Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper and Mosiac Madness Stamp Set

Now let’s move on to the card’s left side and the ribbon covering the top layer of the Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper.   Wait, is that “ribbon”?  Hummm – well, actually it is many threads that I unraveled from a piece of Island Indigo ribbon.  Yes, it’s time consuming, but I enjoy the look of the shinny threads.  The bow was made also with the threads.

What are your thoughts about the threads and bow?

The following is a closeup of the card’s right side, which I explained above. Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper and Mosiac Madness Stamp Set

However, I didn’t mention above that I pierced the top and bottom corners of the embossed Whisper White piece of card stock.  I also added two Island Indigo patterned brads, which have retired. 🙁  I have so many retired Stampin’ Up! brads; therefore, I choose to use them whenever I can.

TIP:  OK, so we know that the Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper and Mosaic Madness Stamp Set coordinate with the Mosaic Punch.  But did you know that some designs in the Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper coordinates with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (118309)? Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack Look closely at the designs and you’ll see what I mean!

I wanted to give you a closeup of the bow.  Now trying to tie multiple threads together was a tough task, but I managed.
