Welcome to the Paper Crafting Blog Hop! Our theme this month is Thinking of You Girls. The April 2021 blog hop includes Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrators from around the world! Talented Demonstrators from all over the globe including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia are participating! Get ready to be wowed by a variety of creative projects and design styles! You may have arrived from
Sandy's blog. She had a beautiful project!
Now, I have a confession...I am a DSP hoarder.
Designer Series Paper (DSP) is my favorite... #designerseriespaperrrocks! Out there in the paper-crafting social media world people have been posting cards using almost a half sheet of DSP for one card...gasp! But you know what, the beautiful result is absolutely worth it! So below you will see my DSP Tri-fold Fun Fold card.
Measurements and Instructions:
- Cut your DSP to 5-1/2" x 12"
- Score at 3-3/4" and 7-3/4" and accordion fold to create card base.
- Inside Gray Granite panel is 3-3/4" x 5-1/2" and Basic White is 3-1/2" x 5-1/2"
My project showcases some items from the Peony Garden Suite of which I used the Prized Peony Bundle (stamps and coordinating dies), the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper, and Elegant Faceted Gems.
You may also notice the texture and color on the peony. I ran the pieces of the peony through the Old World Paper Embossing Folder and used the Blending Brush with Petal Pink ink on the edges before I assembled the peony. The Old World Paper EF is retiring, so if you love the peonies, you're gonna wanna get one of these embossing folders before they're gone! It adds such a realistic touch to the petals of the peonies!
I love how you get a peek of the Designer Series Paper framing the front of the card.
I made this tri-fold card last night during my Facebook Live, so you can even see how to make it in action! Just do as I say, not as I do... use the scoring blade, not the cutting blade!
