Garden Impressions – Joy Fold Card

Stampin’ Up! Abstract Impressions Joy Fold Card by Ink Paper Girl with Katrina Duffell, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, Sydney, Australia

Hi! How has your week been so far?

I hope it’s been fun & productive, but if it’s been a bit blah, then perhaps today’s project & the fact the Stampin’ Up! Bonus Days has arrived, will help to brighten it just a little….

Now we are supposed to be in the middle of winter here in Sydney, but the weather has been more like spring, & so I’ve been inspired to play around with some bright, bold colours & create an early springtime garden of my very own.

I also decided to try out a new card/fold style, called the Joy fold. A Joy fold card looks really impressive, & complicated, when it is in fact, quite simple to make….I mean I managed to make it, so it can’t be that difficult 😉

Top Tip: Cut all the pieces first & put them aside in small groups to make assembling the card easier & quicker.

As you can see from my pics below, this card opens out to reveal a hidden panel where you can write a message. If you needed more space, you could easily cut & add some extra Melon Mambo & Whisper white cardstock to the inside of the Night of Navy panels.

I had loads of fun playing with the coordinating Abstract Impressions Stamp Set, Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper & the Springtime Thinlits dies. These products are all a part of the Garden Impressions suite, which made it much easier to pull it all together.

In fact I let the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper guide me in my colour choices.

Top Tip: On the back of each pack of Designer Series Paper is a list of coordinating Stampin’ Up! colours. It’s a super handy reference tool & it takes the guess work out of trying to match up colours.

By following the colour guide, I was able to stamp the flowers in Melon Mambo, Calypso Coral, Mango Melody, & Soft Sea Foam.

FYI…MANGO MELODY is DIVINE & very versatile. I’m totally in love with it, & just know that you will be too…. make sure you place an order for it & the other new colour ink pads today!

Want to make my day? It’s easy!!

Much Love, K xo
