Sweet Fun Fold

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today I am sharing a card fold that I learned recently from Jennifer McGuire in an online class. I really like this fun fold and have made several since first learning it. I'm not certain what it's called but I'm guessing it's a version of a tri-fold/gate fold card.

It also happens to be time for the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop organized by the Coffee Loving Papercrafters, and Dare 2B Artzy is one of the sponsors! I have used a cute Dare 2B Artzy coffee themed stamp and die set and I am linking up my card over there. I'm looking forward to taking the time to hop along and see all the wonderful inspiration!

This is what the front of the A2 card looks like when the recipient takes it out of the envelope.

The stamped and die cut images are from the Be Frappe stamp and dies sets.

I cut the cup and the Rectangle Fancy Framelit dies out of patterned papers from the Holly Days 6x6 paper pack.  I added my sentiment directly to the cup and I added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the icing on my donut and the plastic lid of my frappe cup. I also cut a red frame using 2 sizes of the Rectangle Fancy Framelits taped together.

My two half panels on the front were created by dry embossing with the Trellis Background die. I really love the resulting texture!

I attached the red frame to one side of my card and the inner rectangle to the other side, so that they "interlock."

Here you can see how the card looks as you're opening it. 

On the inside of my card I added a frame that coordinates with the front of the card and added more stamped donuts and a sweet sentiment. And of course there is plenty of space to write your own personal message to the recipient on the inside flaps of this card. 

I hope you enjoyed this coffee themed fun fold card!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

I also added some glossy accents and sparkle pen accents to my images for some extra shine and dimension.

Have a Sweet Day

 Hi Artzy friends -

I created this fun "surprise inside" card for a very special friend. I hope she likes it, and I hope you do too!

This yummy shake image (as well as an image you'll see on the inside), and the sentiments are from the new Dare 2B Artzy Be Frappe stamps and dies. (The dies also cut the images in the new Latte Love stamp set.)  Of course it could be a frappe, an iced or hot coffee, or whatever beverage your prefer! The sentiment strips were cut with  a die from the Wavy Slimline Framelit dies. 

When the card is opened, the image, framed in a pretty yellow frame, pops out, and another yummy treat is revealed inside. 

It's so fun to stamp your choice of sprinkles on top of the doughnut!

The sentiment strips on the inside of the card are cut from smallest layer in the new Slim Mini Wavy Layers dies.

The patterned papers used on this card are from the fresh springy Home Grown Collection. 

Thank you for visiting and have a sweet day!
