Stampin' Thursday Mystery Fun Fold Card

Stampin Thursday January 26, 2023

It's time for another Mystery Card.  If you haven't watched the video yet, you can watch it on Facebook or on You Tube. 

***If you watch it clue by clue, please note that Clue 8 should also include to add the 1" x 4" DSP to the front of the belly band before adding anything else. That was accidentally left out!

I always post Clue #1 listing all the supplies a day or two early so that you can be ready to complete your card clue by clue!

Here are the supplies that are needed to make this Mystery Fun Fold card.

Clue #1

Cardstock (funfold)  4 1/4" x 11", scored at 3", 5 1/2", 8" and 9 1/2"

Cardstock (same color) 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Coordinating Cardstock  4" x 5 1/4: and 1" x 11" (for bellyband)

DSP 2 panels 1 1/4" x 4", each a different pattern

DSP 2 different coordinating panels  2 1/8" x 4", another piece 1" x 4" (same pattern or coordinating)

Basic White  1 piece 2 1/2" x 4, a label for sentiment on front, and scraps for stamped images

A variety of stamped & diecut or fussy-cut pieces that can be used on various layers

Ribbon 8" if desired

Once you have gathered these supplies, then follow the video clue by clue to make the card. Be sure, though, at Clue #8 to add the 1"x4" piece of DSP to the front of the belly band!

If you need a little extra help, the photos below will add a little clarity.

The fun fold portion in Clue #2 will look like the Blackberry Bliss piece in the photo.You can clearly see the valley, mountain, valley, mountain folds here.

Then this piece will be adhered to the matted piece in Clue #5. (below)

The remainder of the clues are pretty straightforward. At the end of the clues, hopefully your card will look something similar to the samples below...

-This one is made using a Sale-A-Bration DSP, Favored Flowers. The images are fussy-cut from the DSP so there are no stamps or dies used on this one. The cardstocks are Blackberry Bliss and Calypso Coral.

Next is a sample made using the Friendly Gnomes set and the Country Gingham DSP. The cardstocks are Mint Macaron and Balmy Blue. The gnomes are colored with Mint Macaron, Balmy Blue and Petal Pink, with a touch of Sweet Sorbet. The nose and shoes of the 'man gnome' are colored with the SU500 blend. The grid piece and some of the grass is cut from the new Dry Brushed Metallic 12 x 12 DSP.

This last sample is mad.e using the Seaside Bay bundle and DSP. The cardstock is Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy. The images are diecut from the Seaside Bay DSP, Dry Brushed Metallic DSP, Coastal Cabana cardstock, and Brushed Metallic Gold DSP. Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls are added as well.

If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments and I'll check back periodically. I hope you will make your own version of this Fun Fold card and I'd love it if you posted a photo in the comments.
