A Color Challenge for Cardz 4 Galz and Creative Creases Challenge
Welcome back to the bi-weekly Cardz 4 Galz challenge # 236. I’m hosting this challenge and chose Use three or More Colors: Purple, Orange, Green, or Black. Originally, I thought I’d create another Halloween card. Then, I decided to use some 6 x 6 inch DSP (designer series paper).
When you finish here, please visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the very talented design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to our gallery. We look forward to seeing your creations there!
I chose Highland Heather, Mossy Meadow, and Pumpkin Pie.
Here’s my card:
I’ve made this fun fold before, and you can find those other card here. I’ll be posting so many more using this fold because it’s my new favorite fold for the 6 x 6 inch DSP packs.
As always with a fun fold, I am going to entering this in the Creative Creases gallery.
I have no earthly idea why I didn’t save the tutorial video for this card, but I have searched my Pinterest and saved video tutorials on YouTube for more than 30 minutes and can’t find it. If you recognize the fold, please let me know so I can give credit to the original designer. I will be using this fold for many 6 x 6 inch DSP pages! The paper absolutely does all the work here!
Measurements:
I’ve made myself a template so I can easily recreate this card.
Here’s my template:
- The Mossy Meadow base measures 5-1/2 x 7-1/2 inches, scored on the long side at 1 inch and 4-1/4 inches
- Trim two pieces of Highland Heather cardstock to 5-3/8 X 3-1/8 inches
- After running a piece of Highland Heather DSP through your Cut & Emboss machine using your favorite embossing folder, trim the piece to 1 by 5-3/8 inches
- Trim a piece of the 6 x 6 inch Thoughtful Journey DSP to 5-1/8 inches and then trim the piece in half creating two 3 x 5-1/8 inch pieces
- HINT: You can trim the 6 x 6 inch DSP from the top, the bottom, or a combination of both, which is what I did here.
- The white cardstock piece on the inside measures 5-3/8 by 3-1/8 inches
- Trim a piece of coordinating DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
- Then, punch a `1-inch circle from contrasting DSP and run it through the XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
- Using the dark Pumpkin Pie blend, color some basic pearls to coordinate with the DSP
- HINT: You will need multiple layers of the blend ink to achieve a deep color. It’s easier to color a layer and let it dry completely between layers of color
Use the template to adhere the pieces together. I try not to use to many dimensionals because the card already has many layers.
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
