It’s time for our Creativity Abounds Blog Hop. We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world- all with different styles- who hope to inspire you to create beautiful cards and send them to friends and family.
Here is a peak at our design team. Join us for one of our Stamp Camps and you’ll get to meet everyone!
This month our theme is Fun Folds. I think you are in for a real treat when you see all of the different fund folds we have for you. I have made a Diamond Gate Fold Hand Penned Card. I love the Diamond Gate Fold. It does a great job of showing off our patterned papers and letting the patterns do all the hard work.
Instructions for Diamond Gate Fold Card
- Select a piece of patterned paper from the Hand Penned paper pack. Cut a 5 1/2″ x 12″ piece making sure that the pattern points up when the piece is horizontal.
- Score this piece of at 2″, 4″, 8″, and 10″. Fold the 4″ line and 8″ line towards the middle. Fold the 2″ and 10″ line back to the outside edge. Burnish the folds.
- On the short side (5 1/2″) make a tic mark at 2 3/4″ both top and bottom.
- Place your paper in the trimmer as shown- with the fold line and tic mark both in the cutting channel and cut off the four corners.
- Your paper should look like this after all 4 corners are cut off.
- Cut a 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Misty Moonlight card stock. Put adhesive on the back of the center portion of the folded patterned paper and adhere it to this piece.
- Cut the second largest scalloped circle in Misty Moonlight and the second largest plain circle in Basic White. Stamp the large flower bouquet from the Hand Penned Petals stamp set on the white circle with Misty Moonlight ink.
- Adhere to the scalloped circle and adhere to the left side only of the front of the card.
- Stamp “feel better friend” from the Hand Penned Petals stamp set in Versamark on a Misty Moonlight scrap, sprinkle with white embossing powder and heat set with your heat tool. Die cut with a small circle.
- Mat with a slightly larger white scalloped circle cut from a scrap of Basic White.
- Add three Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels.
- After stamping off on scrap paper, stamp the same bouquet in Misty Moonlight in the corner of a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of Basic White. Adhere to the center of the card.

Symbols of Fortune stamp camp
Please join me and 12 talented Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world for an amazing Stamp Camp experience. This Symbols of Fortune Stamp Camp will feature the softly colored and shimmery suite of products. You can see each of the items here:
This Stamp Camp includes a card kit to make 12 cards…one designed by each of the demonstrators on the Creativity Abounds team. In this card kit you will get the card bases and any pieces of card stock needed to make the card. If a die other than the ones included in the Crane of Fortune Bundle is used, it will be cut for you. Envelopes are included as well.
You will use your Symbols of Fortune patterned paper, Crane of Fortune Bundle, Soft Succulent Satin Shimmer ribbon, Polished Dots, and inks and adhesives.
This kit will come with an emailed written tutorial for each card as well as “unlisted” videos to show you how to make the cards.
On April 29 -30 , 2022, you will be part of an exclusive Facebook Group where we will have 12 LIVE presentations showing another project made with the suite. As the group is international, some LIVES will be at less convenient times, but they will all be recorded in the FaceBook group and you will have access to them forever. You are invited to post your cards, comment and play along with challenges in this exclusive group as well.
The only fee to participate in this Stamp Camp is purchase through me of the Symbols of Fortune Suite (item #157667- and all the products are included with this one number). If you already own these products, please substitute any other $82.75 (before shipping and tax) of products. Please use the link below as it includes my HOST CODE (3Z2Q2CK2).
.
You can order by clicking on this link: SHOP WITH CHATNCRAFT WITH LORRAINE and this will input the host code for you automatically. I will be notified of your purchase and will enroll you in Stamp Camp. Please be sure to order as soon as possible to ensure that nothing becomes unavailable!
NOTE: The Symbols of Fortune Suite is not available at this time because the Polished Dots are on backorder. You can participate in the Stamp Camp if you order all of the items individually (you’ll still save 10% on the Stamp & Die bundle) and add a different embellishment such as Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels. Please use the HOST CODE 3Z2Q2CK2.
About a week before Stamp Camp you will receive your card kit in the mail. Then a few days before the Symbols of Fortune Stamp Camp starts, you will receive an invitation to join the exclusive Facebook group.
If you have any questions, please email me at chatncraftwithlorraine@gmail.com.
