Today’s sketch challenge is a
Joy Fold Card
If you need help with this card fold, check out my tutorial here.
This challenge will run until Wednesday, July 11th at 10 a.m. central time. If you want to enter the drawing, upload your card online and post a link to your image as a comment to this post.
The winner will be chosen by random.org and will receive a spool of the new retired 1/4″ grosgrain bluebird. It matches wonderful to Stampin’ Up!s Brocade Blue.
Here is my sample:
I made this card before I left for Germany. It was another make and take sample for Julia’s downline meeting. I simply love Baroque Motifs and the new in colors (well…I still need convincing for Wild Wasabi!)
The Card base is a 4 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Purely Pomegranate, scored at 5 1/2″. I sponged all the edges with chocolate chip ink.
The flap on the left has a 2 3/4″ x 4″ piece of Groovy Guava over it. I stamped the flowers of Baroque Motifs all over in Groovy Guava ink and then sponged the edges with the same ink.
The center flap base is a 3″ x 7″ piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I sponged all the edges with chocolate chip and scored the Cardstock at 3 1/2″.
The front panel is a 2 3/4″ x 3 1/4″ piece of River Rock cardstock. I stamped the Swirls and small flower on it in River Rock and added a Faux Stitching border with my trusted All in a Row Argyle stamp. Two Chocolate Chip window Word punchouts were added as tabs and secured with vintage brads and Cherish was stamped in chocolate chip to finish the card front off .
On the inside I stamped the inside right with the swirl stamp from Baroque Motifs in Chocolate chip. On the right side is another piece 2 3/4″ x 3 1/4″ River Rock Cardstock stamped with swirl and little flower. The bottom has the outline Argyle stamp from All in a Row stamped on it.
For the card closure I stamped the bigger Flower of the set twice in Purely Pomegranate on Groovy Guava cardstock and the smaller flower once with Chocolate chip. I cut out the bigger flower ones around the dots, ones directly around the flower image and sponged both with chocolate chip ink. I cut out and sponged the smaller flower as well, layered all three flowers on top and added a vintage brad in the middle. I adhered it with dimensionals so that the bottom left corner of the chocolate chip flap would stay underneath.
