Welcome to our Stampin Friends February blog hop. Today we are sharing fancy fold cards! A fancy fold doesn't have to be difficult or intimidating. Simply scoring and folding different, can have a fancy and fun affect!!! SO if you have seen all those fancy folds and thought, that seems too hard, give one of ours a try and you will see how easy they can really be. And there's more, we have included a bonus 3-d project!!!
I hope you are joining me from Tiziana Milano's blog. Her projects were amazing!!!!! Take a look at what I've made, leave a comment and hop on over to Jo Blackman's blog. Just click on her name at the end of the post!
DSP - I used Flirty and Airy from the Stampin Up Sale-A-Bration. I paired together 2 different patterns.
You will need: 1 piece 4x12 score on the long sides at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2 and 10and 4x10 score on the long sides at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2 8 pieces 3 3/4x2 1/4 2 pieces of Cardstock 4 x 2 1/2 outside of box. 2 pieces of cardstock 3 3/4x 21/4 inside of box 2 pieces of Basic White 3 1/2x2 Box bottom 5 3/4x7 1/4 score on all sides at 3/4 and 1 1/2 Box top 5 7/8x7 3/8 score on all sides at 3/4 and 1 1/12 Fold the DSP in an accordion fold. 2 attach the 2 strips together, the 12" strip has a section that is 2 inches instead of 2 1/2. Add adhesive to the section and attach the 10" to it to make 1 long strip. Use your favorite dies or stickers for the letters. Begin adhering the 3 3/4x2 1/4 pieces to the strip. Start with the second section(leave the first and last sections blank, these will attach to the inside of the cards. Add your letters and embellishments. Fold on score lines for the box top and bottom. See picture below for cutting. See the Youtube video for full details of how to assemble - please note, in the video I cut 3 strips of DSP for the word Birthday. This can be adapted for different words as long as your paper is scored at 2 1/2 sections.
Fold and trim on score lines. Corner round 1 corner of each section, and DSP
Attached 3/4 strip of DSP ontop of the cardstock Stamp bunny twice and color with blends and fussy cut. Stamp greeting twice and flag one end. Fold up 2 sections in a diagonal, attach the handle and staple or adhere together. Repeat on other side. I added the bunny with dimensionals on both sides, this also hides the staple. Then add the greeting to each side. This basket is soo easy to put together! And that bunny is sooo cute!

Cut a piece of Bubble Bath at 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 and 2 pieces of Basic White 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 and 4 x 5 1/4 And scrap piece of Basic White to stamp the balloon. Now we stamp!
I stamped in an assembly line. I stamped the inside card layer of Basic White, then the envelope and last top layer of the card front (2 1/2 x 3 1/2). I went from light to dark. I started stamping in Bubble Bath with the streamer image from the Beautiful Balloons Stamp Set. After stamping the streamer in all 3 places, I then stamped the ballon on the Basic White card front. Repeat the steps in Berry Burst and Azure Afternoon, except for the Balloon, stamp in Azure Afternoon on the scrap piece and cut out using the Beautiful Balloons Dies. Attach the Azure Afternoon balloon to the basic white piece with dimensionals. Stamp the ballons strings and the greeting in Tuxedo Memento Ink. Attach to the Bubble Bath cardstock and then to the cardbase using dimensionals and finished with a few Basic Rhinestones. How fun and easy!!!

Our Thanksgiving has come to an end and Christmas is under way. I love to decorate for Christmas. It's my favorite holiday. I'm always looking forward to having the tree up. This I decided to bring back a favorite decoration. A Christmas Countdown.
I hope you join me today from Barb Pfeffer's blog. She is so talented!!! Make sure, take some time to visit each blog and leave us a little comment. Be sure to visit Maureen Rauchfuss blog after mine. You can find a list below!
This project has been a family favorite to display and countdown to Christmas. I decided to use the Beary Christmas Suite Collection from Stampin Up. It is so adorable!!! I used some 3x3 Kraft boxes I had on hand and some number dies. Now Ican not take credit for the design. I found this project on Pinterest and have made it over the years using different papers and stamps. You can find instructions by Melissa Stout here.
You will need 2 pieces of cardstock, DSP stamps, dies and some embellishments. I used 3 different DSP patterns and cut 4 each at 2 3/4x2 3/4 pieces. Cut 1 piece of cardstock to 6 1/2x 8 1/2 and score on the long side at 3/8, 3 1/2, 4 1/4 and 7 7/8 Cut the 2nd piece of cardstock to 6 1/2x11 and score on the long side at 1/2, 1 1/2, 6 and 10 1/2 You will need a set of numbers per box. 1 box 1 2 3 4 5 0 2 box 1 2 7 8 9 0 You will see if you follow directions from the link, she cut out a 6 not a 0 for box 1 - I found the numbers work better with each box having a 0. The 9 can double as a 6 if you turn it upside down. You can countdown consecutively from 32 days to Christmas. You can see from my picture shows 57. But the numbers won't always line up. I like counting down 32 days - that is how long it is from Thanksgiving to Christmas. The stand is a little tricky. Fold on the score lines. On the smaller piece of paper add tear tape on the same side of each scored end. On the large piece fold, the score lines that are grouped together in an accordion style. The add a piece of tear tape to the end. Turn the cardstock over and add tear tape to the other end. Please refer to the pictures below. I would reference the video included in the Pinterest post as well. Afterall is assembled, you can start counting down to Christmas. I hope you enjoyed my project today. Be sure to continue hoping along Happy Stampin Steph

then onto the cardbase. Next, I added a piece vellum 3x 4 1/2. I stamped the greeting on a piece of very vanilla from the die included. I also cut out a variety of leaves. I layered them under the label. I added a piece of the Natural ribbon and frayed the ends from the Copper and Natural ribbon pack. The I added the Copper ribbon in 2 loops and added the label on top with dimensionals.
I'm so happy how this card came out and I absolutely love it how stunning this suite is! I hope you enjoyed it too! Thanks so much for stopping by Be sure to continue to the next blog! Tiziana's! Happy Stampin Steph

I chose the Stampin Up Beary Christmas Suite to make my card. It was the first suite that jumped out me when I was looking through the Stampin Up Holiday Mini. I was knew in the moment that this what the set I was ordering right away! I love the Polar Bear, it just makes me smile! This card is so fun and easy to make! I used Night of Navy Cardstock as the cardbase. And then I added an embossed layer in Night of Navy. The embossing folder is also new called Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. Before adhering the layer to the cardbase with dimensionals, I wrapped the Balmy Blue Sparkle Ribbon around the layer and finished with a bow. I stamped the greeting in Misty Moonlight and use the 2 smallest rectangle from the Scalloped Contour Dies. While I was stamping, I also stampin a piece of Basic White with a polar bear and snowflakes for inside of the card and also on my envelopes.
I added dimensionals to the back of the greeting and adhere to the card over the ribbon. For the Polar Bear on the right, I used the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper and the Beary Cute Punch, to cut one bear out. For the bear on the left, I used scissors and just fussy cut. I finished the front of the card by adding a few Adhesive Backed Glitter Sequins.

My favorite time of year is just around the corner. So I felt it was only fitting to use the brand new All About Autumn Suite that will be available in September. It so pretty and the paper is gorgeous. And the best part of these projects, my daughter, who will be off to college again in a week, helped me design and make them!!
I started with a card base of Very Vanilla and added the first layer of Moody Mauve which was embossed with the new Distressed Tile 3D Embossing folder. The next layer is a piece of All About Autumn DSP 3 1/2x4 1/2. I cut out several of the leaves in Mossy Mellow, Crushed Curry, Moody Mauve, Pretty Peacock and Copper Clay. The greeting was stamped in the Pretty Peacock and cut out with the dies. I finished it with the Copper Ribbon included in the suite and one of the adhesive backed speckled dots
I hope you enjoyed the projects I made for the hop! Please be sure to leave a comment and continue to Tiz's blog!
