Stampin’ Up! Celebratory Cheer Double Lower Gate Celebrate with Video for Creative Creases #106

Good morning and happy August!  Whoo-hoo!  Surely this means we’re in the final HOOTTT days and soon it will be FALL!  Speaking of…I got a peek at the new Mini Catalog AND the new Online Exclusives (both coming to you guys in Sept) – and there are some really pretty Fall and Winter goodies that you’re going to want to play with! 🙂

Today’s card is summery and..hopefully!…will make you feel cool and refreshed! It features the Online Exclusive Celebratory Sips suite – with the Cheers & Sips bundle and pretty DSP of the same name!  All on a SUPER cool fun fold – called a Double Lower Gate Fold.  Take a look-see:

You’ll see this card – along with the other Design Team members’ cards –  at this month’s Creative Creases Challenge!   😎. We’re ALWAYS wanting to see pretty fun folds so…I hope hope hope you’ll make one (or three!) and come share them with us! 🙂

 

I found this one on Lisa Curcio’s site and got the base measurements from her – then…I got busy decorating! 🙂

I started with a 5″ x 10 1/2″ piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock.  Using my Paper Trimmer – I did some scoring and cutting!

– On the long side, score at 3 1/2″.

– Stay there – and cut from the top down to the 3″ point.

– Move to the 7″ line and score there.

– Stay there and cut from the top down to the 2″ point.

Then rotate the cardstock and cut out the squares as shown above – from one short end to the 3 1/2″ score line.  And then from the other short end to the 7″ score.

Here’s what you’ll have remaining for your card base! Easy peasy!  As always – check out the video – a video is worth a thousand words and powerpoint pictures! 😉

Using Liquid Glue – I adhered several pieces of Celebratory Sips DSP to the back panel and to the front and back of each smaller “gate”.

To make the pocket – I used a 3 3/4″ x 4 3/8″ piece of Timid Tiger cardstock.  I scored at the 3/8″ mark on both long sides and one short side.  Using scissors, I cut on the red lines (below) – to remove some “extra” cardstock.

I used Liquid Gkue to adhere another piece of Celebratory Sips DSP to the front of the pocket.  Then, with the second-from-smallest Stylish Shapes circle die, I cut out a half-circle from the middle of the top.

See the video for this next part.  Use Tear & Tape to close the pocket and then to adhere it to the middle of the back panel.

I made a tag by punching a ribbon slot at the top of a piece of Basic White cardstock – using one of the punches in the Hole Punch Assortments.

I stamped a Cheers & Sips sentiment in Blackberry Bliss and a rosemary spring in Old Olive.

I ran some Timid Tiger 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon thru the hole – secured it with a Glue Dot and tied a Linen Thread bow around it.  Boom!

For the front, I fussy cut a tall drink – with a cherry and umbrella – from the Celebratory Sips DSP.  I also used the smaller tumbler die in the Cheers & Sips die set to cut out a yellowish tumbler (from one of the rectangle shapes on the DSP).

On the tumbler – I stamped the Cheers & Sips ice cubes image several times in Daffodil Delight and two sentiments (“Cheers” and “to you”) in Blackberry Bliss.

Then I stamped and die cut some Cheers & Sips fruit and garnish on Basic White cardstock!

– Three lemons in Daffodil Delight.

– One orange in Timid Tiger.

– Two mint sprigs in Garden Green – then I used a Blender Pen to “pull” color into the leaves.

– One rosemary sprig in Old Olive.

– Three strawberries in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  Then I colored the berries with the Light Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Blend and the tops with the Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker.

I adhered a lemon and one of the mint sprigs to the top of the “iced tea” glass – and then adhered it to the middle gate panel.  I clustered another mint sprig, a lemon and two strawberries near the bottom – adhering them with Liquid Glue.

On the front gate – I adhered the fussy cut glass with Liquid Glue.  I cut a slit in the stamped & die cut orange and slid it onto the top of the tumbler – securing it – and the rosemary sprig – with Liquid Glue.

Note – in the video, my brain got it’s ducks-in-a-line and I did the orange the “right” way…

…so when you make this card – do like the SECOND version, okay?! 🙂

I adhered the sentiment glass to the card front with Liquid Glue – and slid a lemon and a strawberry up underneath it, while I was at it.

I added three Holographic Resin Dots – and this card was done-ski! 🙂

My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Cheers & Sips strawberries on the front…

…and more of the Celebratory Sips DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Oh my – I do LOVE this fun fold!  And it’s so easy – that you can dedicate your brain bucket to decorating!  It gives you plenty of real estate for showcasing pretty paper – like the Celebratory Sips DSP! And then there’s all the “gates” for adding your fun stuff – like…stamped and die cut Cheers & Sips goodies!  I also love the idea of the cool little pocket, don’t you?!  Have fun with this “fun fold’! 🙂
