- on the right side, 3-1/2″ and 4-1/4″ from the top

- separated the two flowers in the cluster, then glued them back together so they overlapped
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder

Jan 10, 2022 | Blog Hop, Cards, Fun Folds, Gallery, Sale-A-Bration |
Welcome to the January 2022 Candy Hearts Blog Hop! Today we are sharing projects made with new Sale-a-bration items. After reading my post, I hope you will hop to the next person on the list below. Be sure to hop around to see ALL the great projects the Candy Hearts have created for you!
The Sale-a-bration item I used on my card today is the Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper, which I used along with the Lucky You stamp set and Layering Circles Dies. I made a Triple Fold fun fold card, and used a few colors of the marble pattern paper for the different layers. I didn’t add any embellishments because I wanted the gorgeous paper to take center stage.

Here’s what I made:
Inside: I used a different color of the DSP on the back side of the purple section, because I had pulled out only one sheet of each color, and I didn’t want to get up to get another piece of the purple. Can you say “lazy stamper?”
Back: If you want, you can add another piece of Basic White CS to the empty panel for more writing space.
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Basic Black card stock (CS) cut to 11″ x 5-1/2″, then scored at 1-3/4″, 5-1/2″, & 9-3/4″
- Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper (DSP) layers (purple) cut to 3-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ (2 pieces) Actually, for this particular card, I cut one purple layer and one green layer, instead of 2 purples.
- blue DSP layers cut to 1-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ (2 pieces)
- pink DSP layers cut to 1″ x 5-1/4″ (2 pieces)
- Basic Black CS cut to 11″ x 1-1/4″
- pink DSP strip cut to 6″ x 1″ (2 pieces)
- Basic White CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Lucky You stamp set:
- sentiment in Highland Heather ink onto a scrap of Basic White CS
Cut using the Layering Circles Dies:
- sentiment
- larger circle from a scrap of Balmy Blue CS
- even larger circle from a scrap of Basic Black CS
Assembled the card:
- burnished the folds in the card base with a Bone Folder, so the first one at 1-3/4″ is a mountain fold, and the other two are valley folds
- card base closed with the two smaller flaps on the right
- 3-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ DSP glued onto the largest section of the front. The right edge of this DSP layer will be hidden under one of the flaps when the card is closed.
- 1-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ DSP glued onto the middle section
- 1″ x 5-1/4″ DSP glued onto the smallest section
- three corresponding DSP pieces glued onto the backs of those same sections
- 4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
- burnished the 11″ strip of Basic Black CS with a Bone Folder, only a few times to soften the fibers
- wrapped the 11″ strip of Basic Black CS around the card so the ends overlapped in front, making sure it was snug enough so it wouldn’t fall off and loose enough so it could be removed easily
- the two 6″ DSP strips glued together to make an 11″ strip, then glued onto the Basic Black CS belly band
- sentiment glued onto the Balmy Blue CS circle, then that glued onto the Basic Black CS circle
- Basic Black CS circle glued onto the front of the belly band
