This fun fold bay window card fits in a standard Medium Stampin’ Up! envelope!
This is the challenging time of the year for a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator….the new catalogue is just around the corner, there’s lots of retiring products and things are selling out one by one…which means sometimes our project posts that have been prepared in advance feature now unavailable product – and that just feels mean to show off some of them now! The main featured products for this card are still available (at time of writing…). Your fastest way to check if something is still available is to go to the YamStamps Online Stampin’ Up! Canada store (shortcut is https://yamstamps.com/shop) – all available products will show in the store. You can place your order online there, or if you’d prefer to pay by etransfer or want assistance placing your order, you can email me.
This fun fold bay window card is a standard sized card, but with a few extra score lines to create a popped out area. The card easily stands on its own, but mails in a regular sized medium Stampin’ Up! envelope, which honestly, is a key point for me.
The base is a 4.25″ x 11″ piece of cardstock scored at 3/8″, 1-7/8″, 3-5/8″, 5-1/8″, 5-1/2″, and then I just cut a 6″ wide piece of Designer Series Paper to 1/8″ narrower than my scored areas. The “leftover” piece was used for the anchor piece on the inside of the card for the final tab to slide under to keep the cardfront in the bay window position.
Can you tell what Designer Series Paper I used for this bay window card? Hard to believe, maybe, but it’s the Waves of the Ocean! It’s not just blue themed patterns! The die cut label for the sentiment is from the Waves Dies. The Waves Dies and the coordinating Waves of Inspiration stamp set (and discounted bundle) will be available in the next Annual Catalogue that starts Tuesday 3 May 2022 – but the Waves of the Ocean Designer Series Paper will NOT be there – so you’ll want to purchase that by Monday 2 May 2022 if you need it in your stash! (or before then, because there’s that pesky “while supplies last” clause).
We created this bay window card in Stampers Club this month – if you’re interested in regular craft nights, consider joining us! We are meeting virtually right now – so you don’t need to be close to Burlington ON to join in (though you do need to be within Canada). We meet once a month (typically the third Monday of each month, though it may occasionally change depending on stat holidays and club consensus). You can see more information about Club (and other events in my business) on the YamStamps Events Page, or you can always message me if you have any questions.
In the meantime, happy crafting and don’t miss out on those retiring products!
