No.495 - Double Front Flap Fold Card JanB UK #7 Top Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrator

[@johncmullins5005]

Jan, I have to say, I watch many presenters on KZbin. In my working career, I did a lot of facilitating myself. I find you are one of the best if not the best presenter I watch. You are very organized, precise and clear. I find you have a facility to anticipate the problems one might have and present a solution to them. Hats off to you!!

[@janbcards]

Many thanks for your very kind words, John. I really do appreciate them. xx

I love this card.......first off, I don't think you mumble - in fact, you are one of the only people I watch that speak clearly and precisely and I never have trouble understanding what you say. Also, I'm just getting back into watching videos. I lost my desire to watch and still haven't gotten back my desire to craft since I lost my Dad on August 2nd. He passed away on my birthday and I've had a hard time getting myself back into my normal routine. Dad was 92 and had been having health issues for awhile now. He has been wanting to go and meet his Lord and those gone before, and even though I thought I was ready, apparently, I was not as prepared as I thought I would be. I miss him terribly, but so thankful he is not suffering anymore. Thank you for your videos - I always enjoy them and your voice is very relaxing and soothing AND very informative. I could watch you all day. I LOVE the lighthouse card you did as well! Hugs!

[@donnaphelps572]

Hope you get your rings soon. I don’t think you mumble at all. Your very clear. So just keep being you. Your wonderful.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Donna. Yes, I collected my wedding rings yesterday and I'm definitely not disappointed with them! xx

[@janbcards]

Many thanks for your support, Donn. It's very much appreciated. xx

[@janbcards]

Many thanks for your very kind words, Judy. It's always my pleasure to share! xx

[@cindycoven1]

Thanks Jan. I stopped your video at the end to see the example. It was great to have measurements. So I just used the measurements and looked at the still picture on your video and figured it out. Turned out really nice. Thanks again

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Cindy. I'm so pleased it turned out well for you. xx

[@juliedarnbrough6647]

I think what you were seeing when you thought it was crooked was the sentiment on the inside, because it is not a straight sentiment and the letters are all over the place it is hard to see it straight. Beautiful card Jan. Also i cannot wait to see your wedding rings. I am so happy for you and your hubby.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Julie. Someone else said something very similar. When I had a look after I'd finished videoing, I agree with you, it didn't look crooked then! xx

[@shellyrene5708]

The technique of painting the magnolias white is whitewash...using Stampin Up white ink with a water brush versus the bleaching technique you initially tried. I used a makeup brush to apply white ink to craft card stock for a similar effect - really beautiful cards.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Shelly. I have certainly learned a lot about this technique! xx

[@lexiewilliams1478]

Thank you Jan for sharing this lovely card. Your details are so clear and precise. Love watching you on U tube. Looking forward to seeing your wedding rings in the next segment. Thanks again Jan, Lexie from Australia

[@arlenemraz4607]

I’m a newbie card maker so I really appreciate that you show all the oops..that’s how we learn.....I have one recommendation...a tool that is a must for all card and collage artists. The EK tools craft tweezers.....they do the gripping so you don’t have too.....mraz

[@janbcards]

Hi, Arlene. I have a pair of those tweezers - I call them reverse tweezers! LOL! I use them for holding projects when I'm doing heat embossing, and they're fantastic. I've tried using them for other jobs, but I just can't make the transition. It's probably because I've been using my regular tweezers for long now, that I just can't change. Many thanks for your suggestion, xx

[@janwindy117]

beautiful cards!!

Many thanks, Jan. xx

[@kayjones9757]

Really beautiful card Jan, and I do love the masculine version too, thank you for sharing x

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Kay. I think the Sailing Home Stamp Set is brilliant for masculine cards! xx

[@judiththompson3120]

Hi Jan, try using the watercolour pencils as colour pencils you should be able to get the same effect on Sahara sand card stock. Can't wait to see the rings also. Have a great week.

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Judith. Someone has been in touch from Australia. Apparently, it's white ink and a dauber! I must give it a try! xx

[@lynntee29]

I really like this card fold, Jan! I would have kept the subtle embossed piece for the front, and added extra glue dots if necessary for the pearls. I do enjoy your videos very much. Cheers from Canada! :)

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Lynn. I agree that I would have needed to use extra adhesive - glue dots or Tombow - for the pearls if I'd used the embossed piece. I'm really pleased how my card turned out, but I wish I had used the embossed piece to see what it would have looked like! xx

[@tracyvernon2426]

Lovely card Jan,I really like that paper. Here's a thought ,instead of struggling to line up the inside piece why not make a template the same size as the back of the card and cut a rectangle out the same size of the piece you want to glue in the centre,just place the template on top and glue your piece in the middle of it. :) I hope that makes sense lol

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Tracy. Yes, that makes a lot of sense, and you've made me take it a step further! That is, maybe it'd work if the inside is glued in place first. Then close the card, mark where the glue should go, and then line up with the inside layer! We make a great team! xxx

Hi jan, love how you use cms! It’s great for me, question I’m trying to fathom out a triangle fun fold. Everyone’s is Inches and getting a headache trying to work it out also I don’t have a stamping up trimmer to cut the diagonal straight through. I have a fiskers a4 one but it’s not able to cut the diagonal, any ideas?

[@janbcards]

Hi, Amanda. Is your trimmer a rotary trimmer? Can you email me so I can help you properly, please? xx [e-mail]

[@diannelaliberte2954]

Jan what would the measurements be for scoring on the 4 1\4 x 11 pc of card stock? Love the card, love all your cards. Thanks for sharing.

[@janbcards]

Hi, Dianne. Score at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" if you're using a piece of cardstock that's 11" long. Enjoy! xx

Hi Jan, Try colouring the big Magnolia with the Stampin Up White ink using a dauber, Linda Dalke from Here in Australia did it oh wow its beautiful.

[@janbcards]

Hi, Lahni. Many thanks for sharing this with me. I'll certainly give it a try. xx

@@janbcards Jan, I did Linda's card using the White Ink and dauber and if I can do it, you definitely can. XX Mal. I will email you Linda's video.

[@alanlangler]

Is it not pencils? Think it may be white pencil and slight colour?

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Alan, that's a great idea! I know I have a white watercolour pencil so I'll give it a go! TFS xx

[@alanlangler]

@@janbcards just thought that is what it might be. Or the light pink pencil. Didn't think it was bleached. Too many shades.

[@janbcards]

@@alanlangler With hindsight, yes I can see there are too many shades for bleach. There were two things that made me think bleach. First was that the surface of the Crumb Cake CS was rougher where the white area is, and second is that the colour on the gold embossing is very dull, in and around the white. I'm certainly going to give your suggestion a try because, even if it isn't what Jo used for her swap, it'll work for sure! xx

[@janwindy117]

I don't think it's on the walk. The lettering on the piece inside is different so it just looks that way. once you put that flower on it is perfect!!

[@janbcards]

Thanks, Jan. When I looked at it afterwards, I thought it looked straight. It's a real challenge not always being able to see straight lines! LOL! xx

[@cindycoven1]

I love the card but so disappointed you did show the lighthouse one. Beautiful though. Thanks

Cliquez à l'endroit où il est indiqué AFFICHER PLUS et la boîte s'ouvrira pour vous permettre de voir toutes les informations. J'espère que ça aide. xx

[@donnah7264]

I do not believe you have ever mumbled. I believe it is you accent that makes it hard to understand when you start speaking fast. Either way I never have a hard time understanding you. Also when are you going to show the Christmas catalog?

[@janbcards]

Many thanks, Donna. I've never thought about doing a video of a catalogue "walk-through". Thinking about it now, I wouldn't do a Christmas Catalogue walk-through because, here in the UK Halloween isn't such a big thing here, and we don't celebrate Fall in the same way as the US do. I'm happy to change in time for the new Spring/Summer catalogue. Many thanks for your suggestion. JanB xx.

[@diannelaliberte2954]

Guess i should of watched a little longer and i would have know how to come up with the measurement. Sorry to bother you.

[@janbcards]

No worries, Dianne. xx
