Exploring Nature Part 2

Today is the second of the two-part look at the Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Workshop Kit from Stampin' Up!  Last time I showed the kit and how I adapted the first layout.  This time, I've got the last two layouts.  You can see the video showing how I made them & the changes I made here:

Both finished layouts are shown below.  On the last one, I changed a layout that had 6 photos on it, to one that had 16 or more - depending on how you're counting!  And one of those was a panorama photo!

More Fold-Backs

 

Today I have two more Fold-Back styles - a Banded Fold-Back Focal, and a Double Fold Back - both made from a set of papers called Floral Delight.  At the end of this post, I'll add a bonus basic Fold-Back card using these papers.

To see how I made these first two cards, check out the video below:

See each card below.

Exploring Nature Part 1

Today is the first of a two-part look at the Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Workshop Kit from Stampin' Up!  I LOVE their kits!  They make creating scrapbook layouts so much faster, and I am enjoying seeing how I can adapt them to suit my own photos EVEN BETTER!  You can see a video presentation of what was in the kit, the coordinating products I purchased (because I love this kit so much I want to make a LOT of additional coordinating pages), and how I adapted the first layout here:

Here's a closer look at the layout and what I did to add 5 MORE photos to the layout - including a panorama!

Banded Fold Back & Double Decker Fold Back

Today I have two special Fold Back cards that I made for class - and then a bonus fold back card.  The first is called a Banded Fold Back, and the second is a Double Decker Fold Back.  I first saw the second one on Susan Campfield's website.  She called it something else - perhaps a double decker pop up?  I don't remember for sure.  Mine is quite similar but probably not identical since I didn't actually look at how she made it.

Anyway, both of these cards start with a basic fold back card and then add in some fun.  Simply take a standard 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" card base and score & fold it in half at 4 1/4" as normal.  Then score the card front in half at 2 1/8" and fold the card front back along that fold line.  This forms your basic fold back card.  You can see the cards below to see how the banded fold back and double decker fold back take it from there.

I used papers from the gorgeous Moonlit Flora paper collection from Stampin' Up!  To watch how I made these check out the video below.

Here's a quick overview with photos.
