Sunset Coast quick and easy fun fold

Hello and welcome back to my blog! Thanks so much for taking time from your busy day to spend a little with me. I appreciate it so much!

For my card today I wanted to make a fun fold that would be quick and easy to put together. I pulled out the Scenic Coast designer series paper (DSP), along with the Sunset Coast bundle. I knew I wanted to use most of the 6" x 6" paper as it's so gorgeous. While I was looking at cardstock, I saw a piece I had cut for another project that was 3 1/8" x 8 1/2" and already folded at 4 1/4". That helped me decide on this particular fold, using up a piece I had prepared already. I then figures out how I wanted to cut my DSP and started from there. This card is the result and I think it turned out beautifully! Don't you agree?

To see how easy it is to put this card together, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Supplies and measurements:

Sunset Coast bundle* 167781 (includes stamps and coordinating dies)

Scenic Coast 6" x 6" DSP 167773

4 pieces: (2) 1" x 4 1/8", (1) 3" x 4 1/8" and 3/4" x 3" for inside layer

Secret Sea cardstock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" for card base & 2 3/4" x 3" for sailboat die cut

Basic Black cardstock scrap for die cutting birds

Basic Beige cardstock 3 1/8" x 8 1/2", scored in the center at 4 1/4"

Stamp Pads: Secret Sea, Timid Tiger, Crushed Curry, & Balmy Blue

Stampin' Positioner tool 167768 (very helpful for stamping on DSP)

Well, that's all for today. Until next time; be happy, good health to you and happy stamping!

Balloon Festoon Shaped Birthday card

The first card I thought to make with the new Balloon Festoon card was a shaped birthday card. I used the second largest of the balloon dies to make my card base. I tried the largest balloon die but it wouldn't have fit into a standard medium size envelope, so I opted for the second largest size. The finished card size is approximately 3 3/4" x 5". I combined some images from the Words & Wishes stamp set to finish the overall design. If you are in a hurry, you could easily stamp a sentiment, make the balloon card and call it good. It would still be cute and unique with whatever pattern paper you used. To see how I made my card, watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link. After I finished the video, I did go back and add a baker's twine bow to the neck as I thought it would look a little more finished. I love the difference it made, and you can see that in the photos below.

Supplies and measurements:

Balloon Festoon bundle* 167606 (includes stamps & dies)

Words & Wishes bundle* 167897 (includes stamps & dies)

Sunset Sparkle Sequins 167785

Baker's Twine Essential Pack 155475 (white)

Basic White cardstock 4 1/4" x 11", scored in the center at 5 1/2"

Basic White cardstock to cut 2nd & 3rd largest balloon die (both pieces are optional), & image/sentiment label

Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP

4" x 6" approx. (cut 2nd largest balloon, balloon shine & gifts.

Ink Pads: Memento Tuxedo Black, Real Read, Timid Tiger, Lost Lagoon

Stampin' Blends alcohol markers: Pool Party, Lt Smoky Slate

Wink of Stella glitter brush 141897

I hope you love this card as much as I do. While this shaped card is unique, it's quick and simple to make. I hope you give it a try. Birthday cards are my most used cards and kids of all ages would love to receive this one I think.
