Lovely Blossoms for the AHSC # 666 & the SU! Demo Fun Fold Blog Hop
Welcome back to the monthly Stampin’ UP! Demonstrators Fun Fold Blog Hop. If you love fun folds, you’ve come to a hop filled with really great projects by some very talented fellow demonstrators. When you finish here, I hope you will hop along with the rest of the demos using the links below.
I’m also using this fun fold for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #666, and here’s the sketch:
It’s just a given that fun fold cards also post to the Creative Creases Challenge. Debbie Mageed at Secret Stamper coordinates both this hop and the challenge. I can always find a new fold or other inspiration there.
Without further ado, here’s my Triple Bridge Z-fold card:
As soon as I saw this Lovely Blossoms DSP (designer series paper) pattern on pre-order for the online exclusives, I knew I had to have it! The combination of Petal Pink, Secret Sea, pops of Cloud Cover, and the white flowers is absolutely gorgeous!
Connie Stewart’s Video:
I found this video posted by Connie Stewart for this card, and you can watch it here. I’ve watched it three times, once before doing anything with paper. The second time, I followed along and paused when I needed to do so to trim my pieces. When I had everything trimmed, I watched it a third and fourth time to help me put the pieces together. Please don’t let the number of times I watched the video scare you away because if you’ve ever made a z-fold card, you can do this.
In her video, Connie says that the more you play with the card, the easier it will fold back up properly. Even after burnishing each of the score lines as both a valley and as a mountain, I still need to play with the card to loosen up the folds.
I would strongly suggest making this for the first time using retired DSP, and I wish I had done so. I would rather have 1/8 inch borders around my DSP pieces. Connie’s measurements are for 1/4 inch borders. Therefore, I needed to adjust the sizes going up 1/8 inch for the length and width for each piece.
