Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team’s theme is “Great Family Occasions.” While my Pansy Patch sliding lock card is a thank you card (I completely goofed with the theme this month), with a quick change of sentiment it could be a beautiful Mother’s Day card. We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Have you seen the new 2021-2023 In Colors? They are YUMMY!! Which is your favorite?
My Pansy Patch sliding lock 1/4″ and 8-1/2″. The new Designer Series Paper is called Pansy Patch and will be available in the new Annual Catalog.
You will notice that the right side of the card looks like a normal card, but then there is a 2″ flap on the right side. This flap has a bit of an angle because I measured over 1″ on the top and cut down to the outside corner.
The stamp set used is called Pansy Patch. It is a triple stamping technique, photopolymer stamp. This made stamping the flower easy – I just stamped the base in Highland Heather ink, the detail in Gorgeous Grape ink and the center in Daffodil Delight ink.
I used the masking technique on the pansy, so that the leaf (inked in Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen ink) appears to be coming from behind the flower.
For the lock mechanism, I used the soon to retire Classic Label punch to create the track. The retired Word Window punch would work good for this, too. Going forward, I will have to look for a die to do this with…
The part that slides back and forth was made using the Double Oval Punch. I punched two of the scalloped oval punch in Evening Evergreen CS and one regular oval in Basic White CS.
One scalloped oval is on the inside of the card and one is on the outside of the card.
A small rectangle, cut from the Foam Adhesive Sheets, to fit into the track is in between them. You can use Stampin’ Dimensionals, but they are more of a round shape, so the ovals may twist a little. Will you be giving my Pansy Patch sliding lock card a try?
These 2″ x 5-1/2″ bookmarks were made for my customers, I am mailing them with the new Annual Catalog. Using the Delightful Tag Topper I punched on the top and put a 6″ piece of ribbon through the hole.
I stamped a sample of each of the new inks (using a stamp from the Dressed To Impress stamp set) and used the Dragonflies Punch to punch out a sample of each of the new cardstocks. (Of course, I used adhesive sheet on the backside before punching making them clean and simple to adhere). Note: I haven’t ordered it yet, but there is new ribbon (very similar in style to the one I used) in each of the five new colors! So fun!

Oh my! I love Fun Folds. This is that and more. It is a great card on its own as well. Love it!
I love this fun gold! So unique!
So sneaky, fun!
Love this Card!
Great card for the pretty and new DSP! I am inspired to try the sliding lock card! So fun!
Great fun to see how you put your own stamp on our hop Pal!
A “fun” funfold. I think I like the smaller punch best. Gives a little more leeway with covering the opening with the oval punch.
Lisa Ann, this is such a cool concept! I love the colors and my favorite new In Color is the evergreen 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
Such a fun sliding lock design, Lisa Ann! Great bookmarks also!
This is an awesome card and I have not seen this fun fold before. Will have to try and thanks for the inspiration!
Such a fresh and pretty card and unique fold, Lisa!
Cool fun fold and love the new in colors! The pansy DSP is my new favorite!!!
I love fun folds! Thanks for sharing this one! It definitely takes your gorgeous card up a level. No ribbon needed, so this could also really work for a masculine card. Love it!
Very pretty card, Lisa! Love the fun fold technique here and the DSP might find its way on my next order! Thank you for joining in the April Blog Hop!
Lisa, this is such a clever fun fold and the DSP you combined is perfect. So clean and refreshing! I am planning on checking in on the tutorial.
Lisa, I absolutely love this card! So unique. Thank you for the video, I’ll definitely try this one. Thanks for hopping with us this month!
Nice card! That fun fold is great and I can’t wait to try it.
