Welcome to week 43 of our 2021-22 Colour Creations blog hop! Tonight we are showcasing Smoky Slate from the Neutrals family.
This gorgeous Symbols of Fortune Designer Series paper is so stunning I wanted to make a card that allowed me to showcase the 6 foiled sides that also feature Smoky Slate.
A screen card is the perfect type of fancy fold for this Asian-inspired DSP, so I designed a screen card using an A4 sheet of Smoky Slate cardstock, making it narrow enough to fit inside one of the new Slimline Envelopes.
To make the “feet” of the screen card I used the Label Me Lovely punch. Fold the card up and punch through all three layers at once so the feet align when the card is folded flat.
The “happy birthday” sentiment is from Celebrate With flowers, stamped in Smoky Slate and die cut using the Ornate Layers dies.
I love how this vertical sentiment and the proportions of the Ornate Layer die both perfectly match the dimensions of this slimline card!
A scrap piece of Basic White cardstock was die cut using the same Ornate Layers die to create a matching address label for the front of the slimline card.
This fancy fold is a wonderful card design to send to someone who likes to display their cards as it stands up very well – it really does look like a mini screen!

This certainly was the perfect fun fold design to show off that gorgeous DSP Catherine. It makes such a beautiful display card.
Your beautiful card showcases the gorgeous Asian inspired DSP beautifully Cathy and the vertical greeting was the absolute perfect sentiment to use.
Love this DSP and the vertical screen layout suits it so well
Yes, a screen card is perfect for this Asian inspired SDSP, and I love that you’ve used different patterns to showcase them all. The vertical sentiment is perfect for your slimline card.
Your card is gorgeous – other perfect match up between the DSP and the fancy fold. I love that you’ve mixed the foils too, the Silver foil look fantastic as a border.
Wow, Cathy. So love your Screen Card. It works brilliantly with the Speciality DSP. I have been wanting to create a screen card so i really appreciate your clear explanation. The vertical sentiment is perfect for this card. Gorgeous. Xxx
You’re right, that this style of card is perfect for the Asian-inspired patterns on the paper. Love how you’ve showcased the DSP, Cathy, and I especially love your use of the Ornate Layers die – it’s perfect, for both applications.
Love this card design Cathy and I agree with you that this DSP is perfectly suited to the screen design. The ornate label on the envelope is a great idea.
Stunning card Catherine, perfect way to showcase this beautiful DSP
