This is a fancy folds “motion card”. The front flap lifts like a Venetian blind — it’s so much fun. I use several products featured during the 2022 SALE-a-brations offering.

WONDERFUL WORLD stamp and Designer Series Paper (DSP) is FREE with a $100 qualifying order. Sentiment from the HONEYBEE HOME stamps set. Glittered Organza Ribbon.
WONDERFUL WORLD DSP creates the Venetian shade front.
Gently pull the ribbon to reveal the inside. Tie the ribbon to display the card.
Using the reverse pattern from the WONDERFUL WORLD with Glitter Organza Ribbon.
2021-2023 IN COLOR 6×6 DSP in Polished Pink is used for the Venetian Shade that is embellished with FOR EVERYTHING FANCY Sequins. The HIPPEST HIPPOS & HIPPO Dies are stamped with Memento Black ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends. Our dancing Hippo is glued on a piece of embossed Basic White card stock that creates a textured background. Soft Sea Foam ribbon is used to lace the accordion folds to create the Venetian blind movement.

Materials:

  • Wonderful World Stamp (SALE-a-bration)
  • Wonderful World 12″x12″ DSP (SALE-a-bration)
  • Hippest Hippos Stamp (SALE-a-bration)
  • Hippo Dies (SALE-a-bration)
  • Honeybee Home Stamp (for the sentiment)
  • CARD STOCK:
    • 5.5″x 4.25″ Base Card (Orchid Oasis, Highland Heather, Petal Pink)
    • 5.25″ x 4″ Background in Basic White and embossed with a mini-embossing folder
    • 5.25″ x 4″ DSP (Wonderful World / 2021-2023 IN COLOR DSP)
      • Score — .5″ increments — along the 5.25″ length
      • the TOP is the .25″ edge that will be used to attach to the card with Tear Tape
      • Mark with pencil .25″ from the 5.25″ edge to align where to punch holes
    • Basic Black / Basic White to stamp/heat emboss sentiments
  • DIES:
    • To create the flower medallion use the LAYERING OVALS dies (retired) with Basic White (stamped image) and scalloped Petal Pink layer
  • EMBELLISHMENTS
    • Cut 36″ of coordinating ribbon (Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding Ribbon)
      • Do not recommend using the Glittered Organza ribbon. It works well in the tutorial, but the ribbon is very stiff and abrasive. It will cause more wear and tear on the Venetian blind than a softer ribbon.
      • Knot or add beads to the end of the ribbon to avoid fraying
    • For Everything Fancy Sequins (Pink and Green)
  • TOOLS
    • Simply Scored Scoring Tool
    • Stampin’ Trimmer
    • Fine Tip Glue
    • Hole Punch
    • Bone Folder
