Once again, I am honored to be a guest designer for the September Creative Creases Challenge #107. As always, the theme for the challenge is Anything Goes with a Fun Fold, and if you’ve been following my blog you already know I love finding new fun folds! Here’s the link to the Creative Creases Challenge #107!
Here’s my Spooky Sweet fun fold card:
I’ve already posted a couple Spooky Sweet cards, and you can see them here and here. This whole suite is fabulous and I’ve been having so much fun with it. I combined the DSP with the Fright Night bundle, Granny Apple Green, and Basic Black cardstocks.
Measurements and Such:
I caught Mary Deatherage’s Stamps-N-Lingers live tutorial for this fan fold card. When Mary says “Hi Sue” that’s me! I would very, very strongly recommend that you watch the video to get the measurements and directions for creating the fan fold. The crow and pumpkin piece is a pre-punched cutie from the Spooky Sweet DSP (designer series paper).
For the inside, I trimmed a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock to 8 by 5-3/8 inches, scored at 4 inches for the inside fold of the card. I embossed the front only using the Bark 3D embossing folder.
I was able to crop the spiders, web, BOO, and the Fright Night front sentiment from “scraps” of black cardstock.
I could also get the Happy Halloween sentiment on the inside from a white scrap of cardstock.
The white cardstock on the inside measures 3-7/8 by 5-1/8 inches.
I used a black Stamping Write marker to draw the spiders’ web lines before adhering the spiders.
Since there is so much bulk with this fun fold fan card, I only used dimensionals on the front sentiment on the top left and bottom right of the sentiment panel. This card would very definitely require extra postage if mailed, but this one will be hand-delivered.
I did want to make sure that nothing on the front of the Granny Apple Green cardstock didn’t show when the fan fold front was closed.
Please, please watch Mary’s video for the tutorial. I would never have been able to create this fan front without her directions.
The September – December 2025 Mini-Catalog is now available!
As a demonstrator, I was able to pre-order some of these items. Take a look at the products I’ve already purchased:
The first suite I purchased is this Peaceful Garden Suite Collection! You can see some cards using this suite here and here.
This DSP is stunning!
If you like Christmas Critters, this Jolly Delivery Bundle is for you!
Don’t forget the matching 12 x 12 inch DSP:
Last Chance Stamping Write Markers!
While you are shopping, make sure you pick up the Last Chance Stamping Write Markers! These markers, including the 2025 – 2027 In Color markers, are being discontinued. I love using these markers when sending cards because I can coordinate the card with the writing color. Therefore, I have all the available sets ready and waiting in my SU! cart.
If you live in the U.S. and don’t already have a Stampin’ UP! demo from whom you order, I would be honored to work with you. You can reach me at my justpeachystamping@gmail.com.
Welcome back to the bi-weekly Cardz 4 Galz challenge. Diane, our host for this #256 challenge, chose Create a Scene for the theme. Since I am obsessed with all things fun fold I was so pleased to create a card with new products. 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 used the Spooky Sweet DSP (designer series paper) to create my scene. Here’s my card:
In addition to the Spooky Sweet DSP, I used the Fright Night bundle, both of which are available in the Online Exclusives. I’ve already posted a card using these products, and you can see that card here.
Take a look at this DSP pack:
The first two sheets of this pack are all punch-out images you can use on cards. I used the princess and the bat for my card.
The Fright Night bundle, is just as adorable.
As always with a fun fold card, I will be adding this to the Creative Creases Challenge where the theme is always Anything Goes with a Fun Fold.
Measurements:
Trim a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock to 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 2-1/8 and 4-1/4 inches to create a z-fold card
Next, trim a piece of Basic Black cardstock to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches for the mat on the front of the card
Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches for the inside of the card
The Spooky Sweet scene DSP measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
I trimmed the checked DSP for the inside to 1/2 inch by 4 inches
I trimmed a piece of Spooky Sweet DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
Finally, I punched a 1-inch circle of DSP and ran it through my XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
Stamping & Adhering:
Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere pieces together
Adhere the scenic DSP to the black cardstock mat
Add liquid glue to the left side of the black cardstock mat and adhere it to the front flap of the base of the card
Make sure you only adhere the left half of the cardstock mat or you won’t be able to open the card
Using the Fright Night stamp set, stamp the front sentiment on a scrap of white cardstock
Crop it using the Fright Night banner die
Punch out the princess and bat from the sheet of pre-made images
Add dimensionals on the backside of the princess and the banner and adhere to the scene
Add one dimensional to the backside of the bat based on its position on the banner and adhere
Using the Fright Night stamp set, stamp the inside image on the trimmed white cardstock
Adhere the strip of DSP to the bottom of the white cardstock
Adhere the white cardstock to the base of the card
With that, I’d finished this easy-peasy not so spooky Halloween card
