TWO Everyday Arches Triple Panel Arch Cards for CC #101

It’s time for a new Creative Creases challenge. The Triple Panel Arch card is taking off, and I can see why! I first spotted it from Patty Bennett a few months ago, but it was only 3″ tall. When I saw the Everyday Arches in the Online Exclusives, I knew I had to create my own version! Add in the Heirloom Arrangements kit, and the result? A stunning fun fold that highlights gorgeous kit images. I’m in LOVE with how it turned out! Then, I made a second one, creating it with a slightly different card base and used my regular stash so you could see how versatile this fun fold is.

Join the newest Creative Creases Challenge starting today! Whether you’re a seasoned cardmaker or just getting started, I hope this inspires you to play along. Have you tried the Triple Panel Arch card yet? Let me know in the comments!

Card #1

My Secrets!

Let’s start with the card base…

• Firstly, this card was constructed very quickly! All I needed was 6 arches ~ the blue ones were card base fronts from the Heirloom Arrangements kit. I used the largest arch from the Everyday Arches dies to make an A2 sized card. Then, I cut four more from white cardstock. You can use any paper you want, of course!
• After that, to make the card base, I cut two pieces of regular copy paper to 3 x 1 and scored it with my stylus (my trimmer scoring blade wanted to cut through the paper so be careful here) down the 3″ side.
• Once that was done, I adhered the copy paper at the bottom of each side of the arch that would be the middle panel. Then, I connected the other two arches on each side.
• Lastly, I took the other three arches and adhered them to the back side of the arches.

Now, the FUN part!

• Wasn’t that easy?! All I had to do after that was choosing which elements I wanted to put on each panel. The fact that they are all ready to go made this card even more fun.
• After that, I stamped the “Make a wish” sentiment in Crumb Cake ink onto the middle panel. And I also stamped the cute little sentiment from Sending Love stamp set onto the kit’s circle die-cut for the left (front) panel.

Then, the second card…

card base variation…

• So, for this card, I decided to try a different way to construct the card base. Firstly, I cut a piece of black cardstock, 12 x 3-1/4 and scored it at 4 and 8. (*12×12 Black cardstock is retired!) This card is thicker than the first one but I like it a lot!
• Then, I cut 3 arches from white cardstock and adhered them to the bottom of the black cardstock, leaving a small border on the bottom and sides.
• After that, I cut three panels from the black and white Mixed Media Florals designer paper and they were adhered to the back of the panels. This step is totally optional since not many people care about the back!
• Once that was done, I chose three pieces of the Meandering Meadow designer paper and cut them with the second largest arch. Then, I adhered them to the card base.

onto the fun stuff…

• That paper is so beautiful, I didn’t want to do too much to cover it up! So, for the left panel (technically the card front), I used the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack sentiment that says Happy Birthday and adhered it to a piece of white cardstock (3-9/16 x 1/2) and popped them up on the panel. I added a small flower from Cheerful Daisies bundle. I had many of the flowers already cut out so all I had to do was color it with Stampin’ Blends before adhering it to the panel.
• Then, for the middle arch panel, I stamped the sentiment from Layering Leaves stamp set in black ink. This is the panel I will use for a personal message. You could also add one to the back of the card very easily.
• After that, I added one of the Brushed Brass Butterflies, one each of the Dragonflies & Birds embellishments.
• Finally, for the third panel, I cut out the two branches, cut from scraps of the Meandering Meadow paper, then popped up another sentiment from the ephemera pack (these are so handy!).

I was a nervous Oma when Noah brought a painting kit with him to our home, but he did great! There was almost as much paint on the little airplane as there was on my craft mat!
