Over it. All of It. ~ All the Fluff Pissy Kitty with Mousy Mischief Makers ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend and Happy Thanksgiving! 

Today I'm sharing another fun fold card I made! This time I've inked up two new releases from the Black Friday sale over at Unity. I used the adorable All the Fluff Pissy Kitty, along with the super cute sidekick stamp called Mousy Mischief Makers.  

I'm pretty terrified of mice, but these mice are just TOO cute not to play with! I inked them all up with Black Amalgam ink and colored them with Copic markers.

Copic markers used:

Kitty: C0, C2, C3, R00, R20

Kitty's Eyes: YG11, YG09

Scale: BG10, BG15, C0, C2

Mouse on Head: N0, N2, N4, R00, R20, BG10, BG15

Circle Mouse: C0, C2, C3, R00, R20

Mouse on Back of Card: N0, N2, R00, R20

Cheese: YR20, YR02, Y11, Y15

Ground: C0, C2

I die cut the kitty using a stitched rectangle die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies}. I die cut the mouse and his black mat using dies from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}.

This fun fold technique is called the Back Fold. I think it's also called Hinge Fold, not 100% sure about that one. It's a lot of fun to make AND super easy!

I made another card last year using this same fun fold technique. You can check it out here if you're interested... Back Fold Cat Card.

Haha... I just had to add another sentiment inside the card for a fun surprise! And I had a hard time picking papers for this card so I threw in another piece of pattern paper inside the card too. I used the Atomic Kitty Cat {paper pack}.

I was on a roll so I decided to ink up the back of my card too! How fun is this stamp?! I had a blast making this card. Hope you like it!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Backwards Fun Fold ~ Fluff Squad ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

Today I'm sharing a cute Fall themed fun fold card I made with the awesome new Fluff Squad stamp from Unity. Love this squishy pile of kitties!!

I'm calling this fun fold design the Backwards Fun Fold, not sure if anyone else has played with a card opening the opposite direction or at least an element of the card opening the opposite direction since I adhered the panel to a white A2 top fold card that does open on the right side.

You can check out my process video here... Backwards Fun Fold | Fluff Squad | Unity Stamp Co. or click on the video below.

I used a few different papers from the Fall Tones {paper pack}. I am just smitten with the colors in this paper pack! So beautiful! I die cut the kitties using a die from the Make a Tag {die set}. I also die cut a scrap of the polka dot papers using the same die to cover the top of the tag.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used to color up the kitties and birdie:

Dark Gray Kitty: N2, N4

White Kitty: C0, C2

Orange Kitty: YR20, YR15

Light Gray Kitty: N0, N2

Medium Gray Kitty: N0, N2, N4

Dark Orange Kitty: YR20, YR15, YR27

Eyes: C0, C2

Kitty Noses: R00, R20

Bird: BG000, BG10, BG34, YR20, YR15, Y11

Ground: BG000

Here you can see the Backwards Fun Fold with a little secret panel under the focal image. I thought this was a fun idea. The panel is die cut using a die from the Scallops & Squares {nesting dies}.

I added a bit of ribbon to the tag and stapled it with the mini stapler from Tim Holtz. I love it! Hope you've been inspired to play. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Anya in India ~ Preview Day 2 ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's Day 2 of previews at The Greeting Farm for the April release. I am just smitten with the fabulous Anya in India! She is just too cute. And there are so many coordinating stamps included in the set.

I made a fun Fun Fold card with almost all of the stamps in the Anya in India stamp set. So much fun!

I stamped all the images with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them up with Copic Markers. I used a bunch of markers so the list is a bit long this time:

Skin: E00, E11, E04, R00, R20

Hair: E43, E44, E47, E49

Earrings: Y11, Y15, RV10, RV04, BG10, BG72

Outfit: RV10, RV04, BG10, BG72

Candle: E30, E31, Y11, Y15, YR23, BG10, BG72, RV10, RV04

Taj Mahal: W00, W1, W2

Lotus Flower: RV10, RV04

Small Flowers: Y11, Y15, RV10, RV04, YG11, YG17

Food: C00, C2, E30, E31, YR23, YR04, YG11, YG17, E71

Food Tray / Bowls: BG10, BG72, N0, N2, N4

Elephant: N0, N2, N4, R00, R20

Elephant's Accessories: Y11, Y15, R20, R32, BG10, BG72

I used some precious Basic Grey pattern papers from my stash. These are from the Two Scoops paper pad. I thought the fun patterns worked well with the theme.

Here's a view of the card opened. I used the Fancy Ornaments Infinity Dies from Hero Arts for the focal panels.

The elephant is just the cutest! I added a cute little flower too.

I adhered the layers to a Kraft A2 card base that was scored at 2-1/8" and 4-1/4". To finish off the card, I heat embossed the sentiment on Kraft with white pigment ink and white embossing powder for a bright white sentiment. This card was so much fun to make! Be sure to stop by the TGF blog to see all the makes from the design team. The release goes live in the store on the 15th at 12am EST.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
