Bay Window Card

Posted on December 17, 2021December 17, 2021 by inkspirationwithteresa

It’s time for the last Fancy Folds Design Team blog hop of 2021! I have so much fun participating in these blog hops. Even when I’m pushing myself to get it done in time. This month we’re making a Bay Window card. I’ve seen these before and they look so neat! And as usual I’m finding that it’s easier to make than you think. This one especially. You can check out LeeAnn Greff’s video here if you want to try it out yourself.

For my card design I immediately thought of the soon to be released stamp set, In the Moment. One of the images is perfect to set up so that the woman is looking out of bay window. So of course I had to use it! The next piece to my design was the Designer Series Paper. I was using the Beauty of Earth DSP for another project and one of the designs caught my eye as I was about to put it away. It’s the blue design with what looks like trees and splotches (aka snowflakes possibly).

From here I decided to use Misty Moonlight for my card base and I stamped the image and inner phrase using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. For a bit I debated about colouring the image, but decided I liked it better as is. I did add a few Misty Moonlight snowflakes from the Snowflake Wishes to prop up my window. I die cut it using one of the Meadows dies and the image using the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

If you wanted to add a little something more to this, you could add a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels. This is one time for me where I decided to not add some bling to my card. I know hard to believe right?! Here’s the card…

The Bay Window card is such a simple fun fold to make! Remember to keep hopping and check out all the cards. Up next is Mette Nordling Shaw’s card which you can check out here.

Another Reason Why

Every once in a while I share why I joined the Stampin’ Up! family. And why I love it so much. The big reasons for me are the discount, of course, and the community. I have met so many great people in my almost 9 years as a demonstrator. I also love the events that Stampin’ Up! puts on for us demonstrators, be it virtual or in person. They are so much fun! Sneak peeks, crafting demonstrations, Make & Takes, great music and free stuff. My favourite event that I’ve attended so far was OnStage in Orlando celebrating Stampin’ Up!s 30th anniversary. But right now there’s another reason that I want to share why I love this opportunity. And that reason is the starter kit.

Stampin’ Up!s starter kit is full of lots of great stuff! First off you get all the business supplies you need to get things started. Like catalogues, order forms, postcards and even some brochures. You also now get a Paper Pumpkin kit. And of course you get to choose the Stampin’ Up! products you want for your kit. Usually you get $165 worth of Stampin’ Up! products from any of the current catalogues. But until the end of this month you actually get $206 worth of product. So $41 more than usual. And the starter kit is only $135… no tax and no shipping costs!!

If you decide to join my team I’ll be around to answer any questions that you might have and to offer my support. I’m also happy to share ideas and resources that might be helpful. Plus I’m part of some larger teams and we’re a great bunch of fun loving, crafty people! So if I don’t have the answer I know that someone in my larger team will. Even if you want to just hang out, craft and get the discount that’s cool too!

If you have any questions I’d be happy to answer them. Just send them to me at inkspirationwithteresa@gmail.com. Or if you’re ready to take the plunge then here’s the link to join my team. I can’t wait to get to know you!
