Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? The weekend is here already, have you made any plans? I’ll be at work all weekend, end of the month and 1st of the month. The good news is I get to take Monday off, YAY!!
Today’s fun fold card is a pretty quick one. My daughter has been asking me to make a card using the pineapple from the In The Tropics Dies. Here’s my card.
I started by cutting 2 of the pineapples out using the In The Tropics Dies from So Saffron cardstock. One of them I poked all the little pieces out and sponged it using my Sponge Dauber and So Saffron Ink. I focused on sponging only the pointy pieces of the pineapple. I then adhered the cut out piece to the pineapple that I didn’t punch the little pieces out of using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the pineapple top out of Pear Pizzazz cardstock using the In The Tropics Dies. I sponged the edges and points of the leaves using Pear Pizzazz Ink and my Sponge Dauber. I adhered the pineapple top to the pineapple base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut the largest oval from the Layering Ovals Dies out of a panel of Soft Suede cardstock. I embossed it using my Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the pineapple to the embossed oval using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
For the card base I started with an 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ piece of So Saffron scored and folded at 4 1/4″. I then cut the front of the card base at 2 3/4″ to the center fold and then up to the top along the center fold. I adhered a panel of So Saffron to the front piece using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper to the card front using Snail.
I adhered a strip of the 5/16″ Braided Burlap Trim to the card front using Snail. I adhered the matted pineapple to the card front over the trim using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a small piece of Lovely Lipstick cardstock I stamped the small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tropical Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink. I cut the image out using my In The Tropics Dies and adhered it to the left of the pineapple using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a leaf from the Tropical Oasis Trinkets using a Glue Dot, tucked just under the flower. I added a Lovely Lipstick Happiness Blooms Enamel Dot to the center of the flower. On a thin strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tropical stamp set in Soft Suede Ink and made it into a banner using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the pineapple using Glue Dots.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tropical stamp set in Soft Suede Ink in the center of the Whisper White panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Timeless Tropical stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the bottom corner of the panel. I colored the flowers in using my Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the bottom of a So Saffron panel using Snail. I adhered a panel of the Tropical Oasis DSP to the top of the So Saffron panel using Snail. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Timeless Tropical stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped the pineapple image from the Timeless Tropical stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I colored the flowers in using my Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Tropical Oasis DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
