Video - Cardmaking Ideas With Layered Stencils and Fun Folds and Prize Giveaway!


Stencils are great for creating unique backgrounds on our cards and in my newest video, I share many fun fold cards made with layered stencils from favorite companies of mine. 


I learned how to make a Vertical Easel Fun Fold card from this tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers  and this was the first one I made featuring a Layered Leopard stencil from A Colorful Life Designs. The amazing sentiment box die is from Impression Obsession and moves back and forth. Here is a look at the inside of this card where you can see the texture of this stenciled background with colors of brown and black Metallix Gel from Deco Foil. 



I decided to step up this new fun fold and make the front piece that moves back and forth into a shaker and this is the card I show how to make from start to finish in the video. The background on the scored front was created with a Layered Dots stencil set from A Colorful Life Designs, peach ink and Turquoise Sea Glitz Glitter Gel from Gina K Designs and Therm O Web. Because of the dots theme, I chose a Rectangle Dots Layer Die Set from Birch Press Designs for my shaker frame and on the inside of the card too:


The sentiment dies on the front and inside are all from Dies...To Die For at Shop Scrapbook101.com. To see how fun and easy it is to make this card and how the seed beads move in the shaker box, be sure to watch the new video here


I am featuring Pinwheel Party Stencils and the matching die set from The Greetery on this simple Backwards Fold fun fold card. The pinwheels sparkle with a second layer of Glitz Glitter Gel from Gina K Designs and Therm O Web. Here is a look at the fun fold I learned how to make in this blogpost


I created more colorful pinwheels so easily with the brilliant layered Pinwheel Party stencil set from The Greetery on the inside fold of this card, and you could win your very own Pinwheel Party Stencil Set and matching stamp set by commenting on my video here following the instructions in the video. You have until February 14th, 2021 and must have a USA mailing address to qualify to win this prize from The Greetery and me. 

I also share many other cards in the new video with layered stencils and fun folds, so be sure to watch the new video here. 

I am entering the first card in the "Make your own Background" challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday.
