A Die That Creates A Fun Fold---FABULOUS!

Don't you just love it when there is a die that makes things easy? I DO! 

The BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES dies have a large butterfly die that sits on the fold of your card base and cuts out a big butterfly shape. How awesome is that? 

For my project, I took it to another level by using the debossed side of the SUNFLOWER 3D Embossing Folder on the butterfly die cut. Then sponge daubers and ink (Daffodil Delight, Pecan Pie and Old Olive) were used to color in the sunflower images. Lastly, I ran a Melon Mambo ink pad over the whole embossed image in a direct-to-paper technique to color the background of the butterfly and make the die cut butterfly really "pop" off the card front! 

You may also have noticed that the area behind the butterfly is also embossed. For the back half of the card, the BIRCH WOOD 3D Embossing Folder was used. 

I also added an additional small die cut butterfly in the Bubble Bath color, and the "hello" sentiment from the BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES Bundle. 

Watch here the how-to video here, or from my Stamp With Joy Nelson YouTube channel, to see how this fun fold card was made:

Hearts Of Elegance Bundle and Sale-A-Bration Starstruck Emboss Folder - Crafty Challenge - Blog Hop

Welcome to our Crafty Challenge Blog Hop. It's a dice roll challenge this time! There are great projects made by demonstrators from around the globe, so be sure to "hop" all the way around to see every demonstrator's blog post, each with a fabulous project! And if you have an Instagram account, you can see the Instagram Hop with a few more projects by going to my Stamp With Joy Nelson Instagram profile and looking for the image showing this card. 

Stripes, Hearts and Bees? Oh My! 

I love a challenge, and this dice roll certainly was if I was going to meet the challenge of all 5!  

First, I found some scrap strips of the 2024-2026 In Color DSP. I had strips in these colors: Summer Splash, Shy Shamrock and Peach Pie. And I adhered them to Basic White cardstock to create the background layer for my vertical card. 

I also die cut some hearts from the dies in the HEARTS OF ELEGANCE bundle in the same In Colors of cardstock. I needed a "for you" sentiment so I used the SO SINCERE stamp set. And I used BLENDING BRUSHES to create the look of a sponged edge around each of the hearts. To find out how I created the effect of the "lighter toned" embossed pattern, see this video with a different card but the same "sanded embossing folder" technique. The STARSTRUCK embossing folder is a Level 1 Sale-A-Bration item that you can get free with your qualifying product order. Ask me how to get it! 

Before I adhered the hearts, I added ribbon to the background layer and added a bow with glue dots for make it look like I tied the bow all the way around. This saved on the amount of ribbon used. Lastly, I added the TINY BEE TRINKETS to embellish my card project. I think I met all parts of the challenge, what do you think?
