Stampin’ Up! Hexagon Dahlia Fold for Christmas!

Posted on November 4, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I still have a couple of cards from my weekend class to share. Today's card features a new fancy-fold I just learned using the Hexagon Punch!

I decided to use Winter Frost Designer Paper with Pool Party, Island Indigo, and Whisper White cardstock. I embossed a Pool Party layer with the Perfect Polka Dot Textured Impressions Folder. I silver heat-embossed the "merry" from Snowflake Soiree, then cut it out with an Ovals Collection Framelit and matted it on another Ovals Collection Framelit-cut Island Indigo layer.

For the Hexagon Dahlia Fold I used the Simply Scored Scoring Boad and Tool. It was actually pretty easy to score the two lines needed to fold because the Hexagons have built-in corners to know where to line up to do my scoring!

After I scored my two lines, I folded my paper along them, then creased them sharply with my Bone Folder. After adhering all 6 of my folded hexagons to a 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" Island Indigo square, I pierced a hole in the center with my Paper-Piercing Tool and inserted a Silver Glimmer Brad from the Basics pack. I then adhered to a 3" x 3" square of Silver Glimmer paper. I added a wrap and bow of 1/8" Silver Ribbon for my finishing touch!

I silver heat-embossed a phrase from Christmas Messages for the inside, and added a 1/2" strip of coordinating Winter Frost paper to pull the inside & outside together.

That's all for now. Today's the last day of this Weekly Deal:

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day #3!

Posted on July 21, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Hope you are having a good weekend! Today is "Sunday Swap Day", the day I share swaps I have received the previous month, so let's get started!

Our first card today was created by Renee Watson. Renee used a fun and easy technique to get more bang for your buck with embossing folders. She inked the raised side of the folder with Crisp Cantaloupe ink and a brayer before laying the Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock directly on the folder and pressing gently. No Big Shot used for this technique, so if you LOVE the designs of our folders but do not own a Big Shot (yet!), you CAN use them anyway! So fun! I also love the faded and incomplete look of the inking with the folder. Gives this card a more casual feel!

Renee used the Six Sided Sampler Bundle for the "hello sweet friend" greeting and to punch the hexagons from Venetian Romance Designer Paper. A Very Vintage Designer Button and a bit of Soft Suede 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon make the perfect finish!

Rhonda Bassler used Crisp Cantaloupe & Calypso Coral cardstocks with Everything Eleanor and A Dozen Thoughts stamp sets to create her feminine little pocket card. The Calypso Coral background was embossed with the Beautifully Barouque Textured Impressions Folder.

To finish off our Crisp Cantaloupe/Calypso Coral day, Ruth Bingle created this fun card with the Gifts of Kindness stamp set, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Very Vintage Designer Button, and Calypso Coral 3/4" Chevron Ribbon!

That's all for now! See you tomorrow for another Stampingrox! day!
