Friendly Hello Book Fold Lead

Friendly Hello Book Fold

This type of fold is so named because the left side of the card has a “spine”. This is made by making an extra score line on the front of the card and sealing that small section to the back of the card, so the card only opens from the score line out.

I used Pool Party and Fresh Freesia cardstock and paper from the Friendly Hello bundle. I notched the top and bottom center of the “spine” using the edge of the Tailored Tag Punch to keep my ribbon in place.

The Details

I stamped the bird with flowers in Shaded Spruce on Basic White and carefully colored with Blends. Next, I cut it out using a die from the Hippo & Friends Die Set. Even if you don’t care for the bundle, these dies are worth getting.

This was layered onto a smooth circle of Fresh Freesia and a scalloped circle of Pool Party using the Layering Circles dies. I added a sprinkling of In-Color jewels to finish it off.

The Inside

I stamped the Basic White Inside with Shaded Spruce and colored carefully with Blends. The reason I say I colored CAREFULLY – Blends are alcohol markers and will smear water-based inks, so I try not to color over the stamped lines.

Another Happy New Year Case

This week, Connie challenged me to CASE a card from the current Annual Catalog.  She picked this card, which can be found on page 111, and I’ll be using the Friendly Hello Bundle for my card.

Friendly Hello Bundle

I chose to use the Friendly Hello bundle from the new Sale-a-bration brochure, which goes LIVE on January 4th.  This bundle contains a stamp set and coordinating DSP.  You can get this bundle FREE with a qualifying order during January and February!

Hello Friend CASE

Friendly Hello Full

I used colors included in the Friendly Hello DSP.  I chose Fresh Freesia for my card base, which is 5 ½” x 8 ½”, folded in half.

Instead of layering strips directly on the card base like the sample, I chose to add an extra panel of Shaded Spruce, cut to 4” x 5 ¼”.  The strips of DSP measure 1 ¼” x 5 ¼”, 5/8” x 5 ¼”, and 1” x 5 ¼”, and are adhered directly onto the Shaded Spruce Panel.  This panel is adhered to the card base.

Friendly Hello Detail

I stamped the Hello friend greeting in Shaded Spruce on Basic White and cut it out using a die from the Stitched Rectangles Die.  Then, I used the next largest die in the same set to cut a Shaded Spruce rectangle.  I ran Stampin’ Seal just in the center of the Shaded Spruce rectangle, folded a piece of Fresh Freesia ribbon and adhered it to the rectangle.  Then, I used Dimensionals to pop up the greeting over the ribbon. 

The Shaded Spruce rectangle was adhered directly over the DSP.  Of course, no project is complete without a little bling, so I added three Loose Flower Flourishes to finish it off.

Thanks for visiting

You can see how different my card is from Connie’s, even though we used the same card sample as inspiration!

If you’re in the USA, and need a demonstrator, I’d love to help in any way I can.  And, if you’d like to BE a demonstrator, I’d love to have you on my team.
