With the long side of the card base at the bottom of my Trimmer I scored, up to the central cut, at 1¾”, 3½”, 5, 6½” & 7½”. Rotating the base to the opposite long side I scored at 4¼”. I folded the single central fold inwards. The folds on the right side were then folded in concertina fashion.

Hello and welcome to the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop. I recently watch a Youtube video posted by Australian demonstrator, Alisa Tilsner showcasing a pop out window card http://(https://www.youtube.com/live/_uQZ9AN1wTM)which she had designed. I absolutely loved the card and decided to rework it for a standard sized card using A4 cardstock.
Pretty Peacock card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” Basic White card – 5⅝” by 4” Perennial Lavender dsp – 5½” by 3⅞” Basic White card – 7⅝” by 5½” – scored at 3¾” Unbounded Beauty dsp – 5¼” by 3½” Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼” Basic White card – 5” by 1“scored at ½”,1” and 1½” at each end
The panel of Perennial Lavender dsp was adhered to the 5⅝” by 4” piece of Basic White card which was then adhered to the Pretty Peacock card front.

I selected 2 Deckled Circle Dies and using the larger die I die cut a circle through all 3 layers. I needed to run it backwards and forwards 2 to cut through all the layers.

I glued the piece of Unbounded Beauty dsp to the front of the inner Basic White card and adhered the back of the card to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base taking care to stay away from the central fold.

The small circle was then used to die cut a circle from the square of Basic White card.

Using Early Espresso ink, I stamped the Autumnal arrangement and the sentiment onto the die cut white circle. I used Washi tape from my stash to mask the words for the sentiment as I wanted then stacked rather than inline.

The image was coloured using the following Blends Pens – light and dark Pumpkin Pie and light and dark Pretty Peacock for the Pumpkins, light and dark Wild Wheat and light and dark Old Olive for the ears of corn and light and dark Daffodil Delight, light Copper Clay and light and dark Mossy Meadow for the sunflowers.

I folded and burnished the scorelines on the 5” by 1“– the 2 centre scorelines were folded back, the next 2 folded forwards and the last 2 folded back.

The card front was closed, and a little Liquid Adhesive added to the innermost tabs of the folded strip which was then placed in the centre of the die cut hole. I held it in place for a minute or so to make sure it would not move. Adhesive was then added to the raised centre of the strip and the decorated circle added, making sure to leave an equal border all the way around.

I finished the card by adding the trio of Adhesive-backed Dappled Dots. Not sure I have got this card quite right, but I do like it.

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are being inspired to create using a Tic Tac Toe board. I have chosen to use the Fall, Fun-fold and Ribbon line and have used the Inspirational Sketches stamp set to make my card.

Early Espresso card base – 7⅛” by 4⅛” – scored at 5⅞” Early Espresso card – 4⅛” by 1¼” Basic Beige – 4” by 1⅛” x 2 Country Woods dsp – 3⅞” by 1” x 2 Poppy Parade card – 5¼” by 3¼” x 2 Basic Beige – 5” by 3“ Basic Beige – 5¾” by 4” – for the inside

The group of toadstools were stamped in Early Espresso ink onto the piece of Basic Beige card measuring 5” by 3“. I used the following Blends Pens to colour in the image – Pretty in Pink, Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake. I also used a white gel pen from my stash to add the white dots to the toadstool caps.

The coloured image was then die cut using the Nested Essentials Dies. I also die cut two slightly larger labels from the panels of Poppy Parade card; one was adhered to the back of the coloured panel.

The 1¼” piece of Early Espresso card with the added Basic Beige and dsp panel was lined up with the bottom edge and sides of the card base, I held it in position with a little removable adhesive from my stash. Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive was applied to the back of the die cut and decorated label, on the top and bottom only and the label was added it to top and bottom strips of the card front.

The Basic Beige panel for the inside was glued in position and the sentiment was stamped in Poppy Parade ink where it would be hidden behind the floating label. I also stamped the hashed image in Early Espresso ink.

To make the back of the card front look a little neater I glued the 2nd Poppy Parade label to the back. A length of Linen Thread was wrapped around the label and tied in a bow. A trio of Earth Tones Shimmer Gems finished the card.
