Corner Flip Fun Fold Card with Timeless Tropical for Monday Morning Live

corner flip fun fold with timeless tropical 1

 I'm working with the new In Colours this week and a fun fold called a Corner Flip Card. For this particular card, which will be my Monday Morning Live sample, I'm using Evening Evergreen as the base with Soft Succulent as a backing and the Timeless Tropical stamp set.

After my Facebook Live, I will upload the replay to YouTube and post it here.

           

The materials and measurements are found below in the description:

  • You start with an Evening Evergreen cardstock card base measuring 5 1/2" x x 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4". 
  • Insert the left 5 1/2" edge into the Stampin' Trimmer so it lines up with the 3" mark and use the ruler on the blade guide to start cutting at 2 1/2" right down to 4 7/8".

  • Turn the paper 90 degrees clockwise and line up the long edge with the 3" mark.  Start the blade at 3" on the ruler on the cutting guide and cut from there up to 5/8". This will give you a right angle.

  • Push in the bottom left corner and pull down the top right corner to form the corner flip fold as shown in the card above. Secure the flip with a glue dot.
  • On the inside right of the card, add a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Soft Succulent cardstock, and on top of that adhere a Basic White 3 3/4" x 5 1/4" panel.
  • On the flipped corner add a 2 2/5" square of Soft Succulent cardstock and on top of that a 2 1/2" square piece of Basic White cardstock.
  • Stamp the large flower from Timeless Tropical in Pale Papaya Ink on Basic White and colour it in just a bit using the Pale Papaya Stampin' Blends Combo. Stamp two of the smaller flowers with Polished Pink Ink on Basic White cardstock and colour them in a bit using the Polished Pink Stampin' Blends Combo. Stamp the leaf twice in Evening Evergreen.
  • Die cut all the pieces using the In The Tropics Dies and assemble them on the front square using glue dots and dimensionals for added height.
  • Stamp the sentiment from Timeless Tropical in Evening Evergreen ink on a piece of Basic White 1 1/2" x  3" and die cut it using the Stitched Rectangle dies. Die cut a backing for it from Polished Pink cardstock 2 1/2" x 3" with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Add to the card base with adhesive.
  • Add a couple of In Colour Jewels to the centers of the small flowers.

Scrappy Strip Technique for As You See It Challenges


Happy Friday, everyone! How are you all making out with the shelter at home initiative? Hands up if you are an introvert and have been training for this your whole life! Oooh, ooh! Me! Me! I'm thriving not having to go out! But I know this is hard on most of you, because my hubby is an extrovert and he is really struggling! I'm encouraging him to find online alternatives to his coffee chats with friends - not just phone calls, but actually seeing their faces and in groups, preferably. Zoom is an alternative, if he can help all his non-techie friends get it installed.

But it's a new challenge day over at As You See It Challenges and I have a special card for my Design Team sample today! It's also going to double as my free Newsletter Tutorial and it teaches a new technique pioneered by Bruno Bertucci. It's called the Scrappy Strip Technique and my version features the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper and coordinating colours of cardstock, as well as the Timeless Tropical stamp set from the Jan/Jun Mini Catalogue. 

It meets the requirements of the new Recipe Challenge over at As You See It Challenge:




It has to have flowers, a die cut, ribbon or twine, patterned paper and something shiny. See if you can find all these elements in this closeup:



  • The technique looks like it would be very technical, but it is really very easy and a lot of fun!
  • I used a palette suggested by the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper.
  • The flowers come from both the Timeless Tropical Stamp Set and the In The Tropics Dies.
  • The ribbon is the Braided Burlap Trim which is part of the Tropical Oasis Suite in the mini catalogue.
  • The shiny something is a series of Rhinestone Basic Jewels in the center of the plumeria flowers that I stamped and die cut.
  • The sentiment is a die cut from the In the Tropics Dies. It is cut from Pretty Peacock cardstock.
The tutorial will be a step-by-step photo tutorial that you will be able to get for free in my April Newsletter, which is also free. To subscribe to my newsletter, simply enter your email address and click on Go. It is easy to unsubscribe at any time if you would like to.
