Fun fold Friday Yeti to Party Perfect Partners

Today's sample was inspired by a card in the mini catalogue. In fact it was this card that sold me on the Yeti to Party stamp in the first place! The dies just happened to be a great added bonus. So what was it that attracted me, besides the uber cute yeti of course, ? Well for me I'm very influenced by colour. I just love the colour palette of this sample in the July to December mini catalogue.

So I took the colour inspiration from this card and went to town with the mountains! In fact I ended up stamping, colouring and die cutting 19 of them 😱. And no it wasn't a hardship because I love colouring especially when I can use alcohol markers that allow me to create ombre effects!!

So once I'd stamped, coloured and die cut all the elments for my card I set to work creating the card base.

I started with a piece of card measuring 10.5cm x 29.7cm. I marked it at 2.5cm in and up on both sides. I then marked it at 2.5cm in at 18cm. Next I cut between the two marks on each side.

Then it was time to do the scoring. I scored each side at 2.5cm , 4.5cm and 17cm upto the cut line. I scored between the cut lines at 14.85cm. The first score line is folded as a mountain fold the second as a valley one and then the third as a mountain. The center fold is also a mountain fold.

If you prefer imperial measurements or use US size card stock theree are plenty of tutorials to be found out there 😉

Once the card base was made it was great fun to decorate using all the elements I'd already made. One additional thing I did was to add white mats that I embossed using a 3d embossing folder called Timber.

I think that in real life using an embossing folder when layering same colour cardstock onto each other creates a great effect. Sadly it doesn't photograph so well for me .

I hope you've enjoyed this weeks inspiration using the uber cute Yeti to Party bundle. Don't forget if you'dike to purchase the bundle , or the dies if you already own the stamps, then you need to order before the end of the Perfect Partners promotion on the 30th September 2022!!!
