Impossible card with the Fancy Fold Blog Hop team

Time for another hop with the Fancy Folds Design Team and this time around it is the fun impossible card, which is not that impossible after all 😃

It has been a very long time since I last created a card with this fold, so it was fun to do revisit.

I used this video tutorial from Dawn Griffith and it was easy to follow.

Again this month I chose to make more than one card.

The first one uses the Cactus Cuties stamp set.

I am not that into cacti and plants and this stamp set was not one that caught my eye when the catalogue came out, but I bought it, and it is a lot of fun.

For this card I used a Evening Evergreen base and layered with Calypso Coral before adding a DSP layer. On the pop up I didn't add dsp but added a piece of Basic White.

On a scrap piece of Basic White I stamped the pots and the cacti. For the pots I first applied BumbleBee ink to 2/3 of the stamp and then applied Calypso Coral ink with a dauber to the remaining 1/3 overlapping a bit to soften the change and a bit to the bottom. I used the same colours on the little flower.

For the cacti I first stamped with Old Olive and daubed with Evening Evergreen.

I fussy cut it all out and adhered with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment with Evening Evergreen on whisper white and added some polished dots to finish the card off.

Love how these cards pop up all by them selves.

For the next card I used a Magenta Madness card base, Night of Navy layer and then Abstract Beauty dsp.

I again stamped on a scrap piece of Basic White. This time I stamped the pots in solid Night of Navy. For the flowers I used Blushing Bride, which I stamped off, as it has a slightly brown tone that didn't quite fit with my dsp. I used a dauber and Magenta Madness ink to add the colour variation. The little cactus i stamped in full Just Jade and the flower in Magenta Madness.

I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy on Basic White and again added some polished dots.

These cards are fun and quick to make so watch Dawn's tutorial and give them a go.

Do you know what this is?

This is a graphic depicting the new in-colours from Stampin' Up! for 2022-2024.

This also means that demonstrators now have access to the new catalogue, but we are not allowed to share just yet.

Finally this also means that the retirement list is out from the current Annual Catalogue. And that the 2020-2022 in-colours are retiring, this include BumbleBee, Just Jade and Magenta Madness that I have used on my cards.
