Hidden Message Fun Fold from Tuesday Night Stampin' Club

If you missed Tuesday Night Stampin' Club last night, I hope you'll be able to watch sometime soon!  This Hidden Message Fun Fold card is actually quite easy to do!  My original card (shown below) used the Magnolia Blooms stamp set and the bulk Magnolia Lane DSP. 
I love how last night's card turned out...and I'm sad that the Abstract Impressions Stamp set and Springtime Thinlit Dies I used are retiring...but they are on sale so don't miss out!  Check out the supplies listed at the end of the post.

  Watch Abstract Impressions in action here.

Instructions:

1. Cut a sheet of DSP into a 4" x 12" strip.  Score at 4 1/2" and 9".  Fold on scorelines to create a Z fold.
2. Take one sheet of Colored Cardstock.  Score at 5 1/2".  Cut in half at 4 1/4".  Take one half and cut 2" off the long 11" edge so it measures 9" x 4 1/4"....this is the card front and middle.  Trim the other half along the 11" edge at 5 3/4"...this is the card back, plus a small section to attache to the card front.
3. Attach the card back by adhering the 1/4" flap to the card "middle".
4. Adhere the DSP backward Z to the inside of the 4-1/4" x 9" FRONT, lining both pieces up on the outer edge.
5. Die-cut and oval about a 1/2" from the edge on the front.  Fold the middle part of the backward Z DSP over where you just cut the oval and cut the same oval through the middle part of the "Z" DSP.
6. Lay the middle section of DSP over the middle section of the colored cardstock and adhere the extra stamped greeting.

Double Wonder!

I was able to make 11 cards in under 10 minutes per card and it cost me way less than $10!  It was a perk of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in the Great Lakes Region.  Our awesome Demonstrator Development Manager, Shannon West,  hosted a Facebook Live a couple of weeks ago and we all created cards based off of the Double Wonder concept.  The cards above are my first batch.  The cards featured below are my second batch.  Are you interested in making quick cards to send to family, friends, and anyone who needs a little hello?  I'll be walking through the how-to's during my own Facebook Live on Tuesday, April 21 at 7:00 pm.  Join me on FB @SimplySheStamps

You can participate by using your own supplies that you already have or sign up to get the supplies for Magnolia Blooms version shown below for just $5 if you live locally (you will need your own stamps and ink and ribbon may be slightly different).  If you'd like to create with me and need supplies, you'll find the list of what you need down below.  Instructions will be posted here before LIVE event.

Double Wonder Supply List

• 2 Coordinating Sheets of Designer Paper: will use half of each

• 6 sheets colored cardstock - in colors to coordinate with the designer paper

• 2 sheets Whisper White (or Very Vanilla) Cardstock

• Coordinating Ribbon

• Greeting Stamps

• Inkpad - neutral/coordinating color

• Punch (or die-cut shapes) to fit your greetings

• Adhesive 

• Dimensionals

Here is the template for cutting your 6x12 piece of DSP!

Section 1 (far left): slice at 4-1/2" then cut into 3 strips 1-1/2" wide, and finally cut those in half at 3" so you have 12 strips that are 1-1/2" x 3". Also need 4 pieces of Whisper White that are 5" x 3-1/4".

Section 2 (middle): slice at 4" then trim 3/4" from the top and set aside. Then cut into 4 strips 1" wide so you have 8 strips that are 1" x 5-1/4". Piece set aside (use with 3rd section) is 4" x 3/4".

Section 3 (far right): from bottom cut 2-1/4" and again 2-1/4". You have 4 pieces that are 3-1/2" x 2-1/4" and two leftover pieces that are 3-1-2" x 1-1/2". Cut those in half, you'll have 4 pieces that are 1-3/4" x 1-1/2"...for bonus card.
