Bendi Fold Card Tutorial

Hello Everyone!

It's Manu here today.

A very Happy New Year to all the readers of Lulupu from my end!! I'm pretty excited to join the Lulupu team and I hope that our amazing DT team brings in newer creations and techniques for you to get inspired by and that we spread a lot more joy and happiness to all of you in 2015.

The very first challenge this year is of 'Fancy fold Cards' but of course with an interesting twist. the twist is to use punches in your creations.

Here's my take on the current challenge. I have made a Bendi fold card and also have step by step instructions for you for you to check out !!


Lets checkout on how this card was made.

1. Cut out the card stock measuring 6*7 inches (the base flap), 3*6 inches (the left flap), and 2*6 inches(the right flap)
On the base flap, mark a line from 2 inches from the right side. On the left hand flap, score the flap from 1 cm from the left hand side(this goes behind the base flap for adhering) and 1 cm from the right side and cut a tab with sloping sides from each end leaving the tabbed area.
On the right hand flap, score 1 cm from the right hand side(this gets adhered to the base flap) and 1 cm from the left hand side and cut a tab. Check out the second pic to give a more clear idea.

Keep the left flap on the base flap aligning with the bottom and make a mark of where the tab is on the line drawn earlier. Using a craft knife cut along this marked area so that the left flap can be inserted into this slot.
Do the same keeping the right flap on the left flap, cut along the marked area off 2 cms on the left flap.

Check the marked vertical lines on the flaps. I'm sorry for that hazy look in the pictures, they somehow turned a little hazy!!

2. Adhere the left flap and the right flap on the back of the base flap and insert the left flap into the slot on the base and the right flap into the left flap's slot. Ink the edges of the complete card with Peacock Feather's Distress ink. 


3. Here comes my little twist to the Bendi fold. I wanted my flaps to be a little bigger. Hence I used another 2 pieces of cardstock and adhered to the left and the right flaps, keeping a little height difference to make it a little more appealing. My base is ready!!!
Now is the time for making the card more appealing...Bring on all those pretty papers... !!! I have used the Anna Marie Paper Pad from Prima.  

Here's the final look of the card both from the outside and the inside!!


Here's a closeup of my most favorite part of the card, the flower cluster and the pretty Whimsy stamped image!!




The Pattern papers are from Anna Marie Paper Pad from Prima. The cute birdie is an Whimsy image. It has been colored using the watercolor pencils. The sentiments inside the card are from Justrite and Technique Tuesday stamps.

I hope that you liked my take on this fortnight's challenge!! Do show us your take on this pretty challenge and link up your entries here.

Challenge #43- Inspired by Mood Board

Hello everyone!
It's Hussena here bringing you a brand new challenge for this fortnight which is -Anything goes with TWO or more patterned papers!
Here's a look at the Mood Board first :

Challenge # 43

Anything goes with 2 or more patterned papers.

{ General Guidelines HERE }

Challenge rules

1. You have to use TWO or more patterned papers to create a paper based project. 

2. You can create anything be it cards, layouts, albums, canvases, tags etc but please make sure it is a paper based craft project only. The possibilities are endless for this challenge!

3.  TWIST - You can be inspired by the colours or the images in the mood board. You don't have to strictly follow the colours but please make sure that you mention in your post what inspired you from the mood board and how you interpreted it in your project.

4. You have time until 15 December 2014, 11:55 PM IST to submit your projects. 

This is what the Winner of this challenge will take home. :D


And, here's a look at my project for this challenge. I have made a card inspired by the above Mood Board :

The base of my card has been made using three different patterned papers. The light pink striped pattern paper is from Graphic 45, followed by the blue one from Prima Marketing Cigar Box paper pad and finally the alpha one from Prima Marketing Coffee Break Paper pad.

The small butterflies were paper pieced from Prima Marketing Forever Green paper pad. For the base of my floral arrangement, I have used a Prima Marketing Doily Die #1 and popped it up on foam dots and colored with Distress ink- Tattered Rose.

 I have created a shabby-chic card so to create the look, I have distressed all the papers using a paper distressing tool and have inked all the edges of the papers with Distress ink- Tattered Rose. The flowers are all from my stash and I have Gesso-ed the edges of the flowers using Heidi Swapp Color Shine- Tropicana Teal Mist mixed with Gesso and painted using a paint brush to give that light blue colour to the flowers. The Gesso gives the flower a very nice texture and colour!

The sentiment has been stamped and paper-pieced and popped up on foam dots to give that raised look. I have used a lot of rhinestones to mimic the inspiration from the mood board.
I was inspired by the striped umbrella and the pink flowers on the mood board and all the colours too and tried to incorporate in my card through the floral arrangement and my card base!

I hope you like my inspirational card. Please do join us in this challenge by linking up your creations below in the link tool. Really looking forward to seeing all your beautiful work!

Micia 'Let's Picnic' Stamp set From Lulupu


Isn't it cute?
 Here is my inspiration for the challenge ,
During summertime, kids get holidays and don't we go for picnics?..what a fun !!
I made this card with Technique Tuesday stamp set and Black Archival ink. Before stamping I applied Sueezed lemonade distress ink in the background. 

here is another card,

I've used many diecuts  from Spring Bloom collectables. Isn't it good idea to give this card whose birthday falls in April?

 I hope you liked my cards and I would love to see you all participate in

Lots of love,
