Good Friday morning my stamping friends. Did you all have a nice Thanksgiving? How many of you ended up in a food coma after eating your dinner? We had a very nice quiet one here. Once everything was done, I started pulling some boxes out of the attic of our Christmas decorations. It’s been a tradition for years that the weekend after Thanksgiving Christmas explodes in my house. The past couple years it’s taken more that just the weekend to decorate with my work schedule. This year I have the advantage that I don’t have to undecorate and clean before decorating since we just cleaned and put all our furniture back in our house. I’ll see how much I get done between today and tomorrow.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you very much. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card that I made.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals Bundle for today’s Fun Fold Card.

I started by adhering a panel of Poinsettia Place DSP to an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted DSP to the Petal Pink card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front just under the 1″ top of the card base using Tear & Tape.

On a panel of Shimmery White cardstock I stamped the poinsettia image from the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the medium poinsettia layered image from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set on the Shimmer White cardstock twice in Soft Suede Ink. I colored the poinsettia image in using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I then used my Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter to remove some of the color so that it had a very light color. I colored the leave in using my Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using my Poinsettia Dies. I snipped the leaves apart using my Paper Snips. I adhered the leaves under the flower image using Glue Dots.

I wrapped a piece of 3/8″ Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon around the top of the card front and tied a knot. On a strip of Shimmery White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the flower to the right of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Beaded Pearl embellishment to the flower center using a Glue Dot. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I adhered a panel of Poinsettia Place DSP to an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from Poinsettia Petals stamp set in the center of a panel of Shimmery White cardstock in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the poinsettia flower from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set over the sentiment in Petal Pink Ink, stamping off once. I adhered the Shimmery White panel to the inside of the Petal Pink card base in the center of the DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the poinsettia flower from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the envelope front. I colored the flower in using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I masked the flower and stamped the leaves from the medium layered poinsettia from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I colored the leave in using my Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Poinsettia Place 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. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.
