Fancy Fold Card Duo

Hi there!

Today I'm here with my final Guest Designer project for Tres Jolie Kit Club using

the Cards, Tags and More Kit for September.

I pulled out the remaining items I have from the kit.

Looking these items over I thought I would create a couple of fancy fold cards.

The first is a Bridge Card design.

I started by cutting down a piece of the white card stock in the kit to 11 x 7 inches.

Then scored it at 1 1/2, 3, 8 and 9 1/2 inches. Fold and burnish as in the photo below.

To add some color to the white card stock I applied gold gilding wax around the edges of

the 2 outside panels and the center panels. The 2 interior panels were completely covered.

Next, I cut pieces of solid and patterned card stock to cover the card base and chose one of the toppers from the kit to use as the focal on the card.

One piece of burgundy card stock was cut to 4 3/4 x 6 3/4 inches, 2 pieces were cut to 1 1/4 x 6 3/4 inches.

A piece of gold was cut to 4 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches.

The patterned paper from the kit was cut to just under 4 x 6 inches.

I layered the larger burgundy, gold and patterned pieces of card stock and adhered to the center of the card.

The thinner burgundy panels are added to the 2 outside panels.

Pop the topper with foam tape to the center of the card.

We need a “bridge” for our card, so I cut a piece of patterned paper to

1 x 8 inches and a piece of gold 1 1/4 x 8 inches. Adhere these pieces together and attach to the 2 outside panels with the lower edge about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the card.

Next I applied gold gilding wax to 2 of the wooden embellishments from the kit and adhered them to the side panels.

I die cut a “Happy Birthday” sentiment and added it to the center of the bridge.

To finish this card, I pulled out the small white 49 & Market flowers from the

August Cards, Tags and More Kit. A little pink ink was applied to them.

They were added to the wooden embellishments.

For the second card I am making a Double Z-Fold Card.

Start by cutting down a piece of the white card stock from the kit to 10 x 7 inches.

Score along the 10 inch side at 2 1/2 and 5 inches.

Make a mountain fold on the 2 1/2 inch score line and a valley fold on the 5 inch score line.

Take a 1 1/2 x 10 piece of white card stock, score at 5 and 7 1/2 inches.

Do a mountain fold on the 5 inch score line and valley fold on the 7 1/2 inch score line.

I pulled out some of the cut aparts, one of the topper pages and a scrap piece of patterned paper from the kit.

Cut 2 pieces of pink card stock to 2 1/4 x 6 3/4 inches and one piece to 4 3/4 x 6 3/4 inches.

Piece together the larger cut apart with pink flowers and scrap patterned paper onto a piece of white card stock. Lace was added where the two pieces come together.

I pulled out the “left over” part from one of the large toppers.

This will be used to frame the piece just put together.

Adhere the pink card stock to card base.

Glue the frame to the cut apart piece.

I added a 1/4 inch wide piece of pink card stock to the lace on this piece, under the frame.

It’s time to add the narrow z-fold piece. Add 3 pieces of pink card stock.

Two pieces are cut 1 x 2 1/4 inches and one is cut to 1 x 4 3/4 inches.

Pieces of the lace are also added.

Adhere this piece to the card base about 1/2 inch from the bottom,

with the 5 inch length on the left side and the other end to the right side.

I then took one of the smaller cut aparts and framed it similarly to the larger one.

For a sentiment, I took a round vellum die cut from this month’s

Tres Jolie Scrapbook Kit and cut circle die cut to place behind it.

Adhere the large cut apart piece to the center of the left panel of the card.

Glue the smaller cut apart to the right side of the card on the top half. I also place it far enough over that the larger cut apart covers it when the card is closed.

Add the sentiment to the right side of the card near the bottom,

again placing where it is covered when the card is closed.

The card is complete.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my project and I’ve provided you with a little inspiration!

Fabulous Envelope Box Card

Hi there! Today I'm here with a Guest Designer project for Tres Jolie Kit Club using the

Cards, Tags and More Kit for September.

I am creating an envelope box card.

To create the envelope box, I am using an envelope punch board.

A piece of the white card stock included in the kit is cut down to

8 1/4 x 8 1/4 inches.

Begin by lining up one side of the card stock on the board with the left side at 4 1/4 inches, score along the A score line and punch. Slide over to 5 1/4 inches, score and punch. Turn to the opposite side and repeat.

From here, turn the piece of card a 1/4 turn, line the left side at 3 inches, score and punch. Slide over to 4 inches, score and punch. Turn to the opposite side. Line the left side up at 3 inches and punch. No scoring this time. Slide to 4 inches and punch.

Fold and burnish all the score lines.

The side with no score lines is the top of the box. We need to cut tabs on the opposite side where a small square is formed between score lines. Cut on the score line up to the interior score line. Do this on both sides of the bottom flap.

Next we will cover the inside of the card with one of the papers from the kit and the flaps with a solid card stock.

Cut the patterned paper to 5 1/8 x 6 inches. Mark the center of the top, which is 2 9/16 inches and each side at 2 1/2 inches from the top. Cut diagonally from the top mark down to the marks on either side.

Adhere to the top.

I rounded the corner on the top and on the bottom flap.

Some die cutting was done to finish the top edges of the box using the die that came with the kit.

To cover the bottom flap, cut a piece of card stock 5 1/8 x 3 inches. Mark the top of the 5 1/8 inch side same as above at 2 9/16 inches and the sides are marked at 2 1/2 inches. Cut from top center mark down to the marks on either side.

For the side flaps cut cut stock 3 1/2 x 2 inches. Mark center of 3 1/2 inch side at 1 3/4 inches and the sides at 1 3/4. Cut as above.

Adhere these pieces to the flaps.

Now we’re ready to fold up attach the bottom flap to the 2 side flaps to form the box.

Now I am adding a little more of the patterned paper to the outside of the box. I cut 2 1 x 8 inch pieces from the piece left. These are wrapped around and adhered to the lower portion of the box. Trim the extra off.

Then I added a piece of the lace that came with the kit along the top edge of the strip of patterned paper around the box.

Two more die cuts are added to the card.

One of the toppers from the kit is added to the front.

Time to add elements to the inside and front side of the box.

First I cut a piece of card stock to 1/2 x 6 1/8 inches. I scored from both ends at 3/8 of an inch. this piece is attached to the inside to hold pop-up elements.

Before adding pop-ups I added a large topper to the back with foam tape.

I chose some flowers to fussy cut from papers and cut aparts included in the kit which will be added to the inside of the box.

Fussy cutting was done. I pulled out 3 of the blue Prima flowers in the kit and die cut some berry sprays. All of these will either be popped up by attaching to acetate strips and adhering to the 1/2 inch wide strip inside the box or glued and or popped with foam tape.
