Let's Go Fishing! Double-Fold Card


Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! It's Janet from SugarShine Designs with a masculine card for you today. This card is called a double-fold card and is also known as a Joy card fold. By complete coincidence, Lois posted this same card fold on Monday except she turned it so that the card opened up vertically. My card opens up horizontally but is otherwise very similar. This is a nice fold because it starts out a normal A2 size but once opened expands to three panels and 10.25" wide.


I used many different die sets to create this project but if you don't have all of them, just substitute with different dies. This same idea can work on a number of different themes. Just start by thinking about what you want to use for the closure and then go from there.

In my case, I started with the tree from the Grass, Trees & Vines set and built the rest around the outdoors theme. I also used all the dies from the stamp and die set called Woodlands. The detail in these stamps and dies are awesome. You can color these any number of ways but I chose to use my PrismaColor pencils. I colored the dies from the Fishing Gear set with distressed ink.

Home Sweet Home

Hello everyone,

It's Donna with another card from the new release from June's "home sweet home" collection. This release is really nice, it's all about the home. I am using the Build-A-House Set 2, The first die in the set is to build your house and the second one is accessories for the outside of your house.   The words are from  "Home Sweet Home Phrase set." which includes three words , so if you wanted to use the "home's" or "sweet" separately you can.

My card is an A2 card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2).



I have die cut all the pieces that I need to build my house.  The pieces that I cut out and I don't use, I like to keep them because I can use them later if I want to use the die.


I sponged all the pieces I needed to, to give the dies some dimension.



I cut out the clouds from the Clouds and Sun die cut set to use the largest cloud to make clouds in the background of my card.  I saved the pieces that I did not use to use at another time.


Here is how I used the largest die to make the clouds.
