Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday blog. It’s Friday the 13th, there’s a full moon and it’s a harvest moon tonight. I love watching the full moon rise at night, I’m hoping it will be a nice clear night to see it. How was everyone’s week? The weekend is here already, I hope you have some fun plans. We’re at apple picking season here, that’s always a lot of fun.
For today’s card I made a Dutch Door Card using multiple fall related stamp sets. Here’s my card.
I played along with the Paper Players Color Challenge #458. Here are their colors.
I started by putting together my card base. I scored the 4 1/8″ X 8 3/4″ panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock at 5 1/2″ and folded it. I scored the 8 1/2″ X 2 1/4″ panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock at 2 1/8″ and 6 3/8″ and folded it on the score lines. I adhered the larger card base to the smaller card base so that the 2 folded sides would close over the bottom of the larger card base using Tear & Tape Adhesive. I adhered a panel of Come To Gather Designer Series Paper to the top portion of the card base using Snail. I then adhered the 2 smaller panels of Come To Gather DSP to the outside bottom portion of the card base to the edges so that they met in the middle and there was no border using Snail..
I cut out 3 Merry Merlot leaves using the Seasonal Layers Dies. I cut out 2 more leaves, one in Cajun Craze and the other in Pretty Peacock using the Gathered Leaves Dies. I stamped the pumpkin image from the Stampn’ Up Harvest Hellos Cling Stamp Set in Cajun Craze Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I colored the image in using my Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends Markers. I punched the pumpkin out using the Apple Builder Punch. I also punched the stem out of a tiny scrap of Early Espresso cardstock and adhered it to the pumpkin using a Glue Dot. I cut out the ‘Birthday Wishes’ sentiment from the Well Written Dies in Merry Merlot cardstock.
I adhered a Whisper White panel to a Cajun Craze mat using Snail. I adhered the pumpkin to the Whisper White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the leaves under the pumpkin using Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the Whisper White panel using my Fine Tip Glue Pen. I adhered the artwork to the top portion of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I adhered 2 of the Merry Merlot leaves to the bottom ‘Doors’ of the card base using Glue Dots. You can also see in the picture above how I adhered the DSP to the ‘doors’ of the card, with only leaving a border on 3 sides.
On the inside I stamped the leaf image from the Stampin’ Up Gather Together Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel stamping off twice. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Colorful Seasons Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cajun Craze Ink on top of the leaf. I stamped the 2 pumpkin images from the Gather Together stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on a small Whisper White panel. I colored the pumpkins in using my Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends Markers and cut them out using the Gathered Leaves Dies. I adhered the to the bottom of the Whisper White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the small leaf image from the Colorful Seasons stamp set across the bottom of the envelope front in Cajun Craze, Pretty Peacock and Merry Merlot Inks. I adhered a panel of the Come To Gather DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today for Fun Fold Friday. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
