Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you all ready for the weekend? It’s the last weekend of January already. Does anyone have plans? I have to go into work for a couple hours on Sunday since it’s the last of the month, but I have off tomorrow. It’s my husbands birthday this weekend, so I thought I’d be nice and be home to make him a birthday dinner. Turns out he wants pizza made in his pizza oven, which means he’s cooking.

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! Art Gallery Bundle for my card today along with the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper.

I started by doing all the cutting and folding on a Terracotta Tile card base. I started with a panel of 4 1/4″ X 11″ card base. I scored it at the 5 1/2″ mark from the top to 1″ from the bottom. I scored at 6″ from the bottom up 1″. I scored at 3 1/4″ from the bottom up to 1″. I scored at 8 1/4″ from the top down to 1″. I turned the card base and lined the edge up at the 1″ mark on my Trimmer and cut from the 3 1/4″ score line to the 8 1/4″ score line. I valley folded on the 5 1/2″ score line and mountain folded on the 6″ score line. The other score lines kind of just fall into place. It’s explained much better on the video if you are able to watch it.

This is the top view of the card base and how it should look.

I adhered the panels of Fine Art Floral DSP to Basic White mats using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set on a panel of Basic White cardstock in Mossy Meadow Ink and cut it out using the smallest label die from the Floral Gallery Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom cut panel of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the back panel of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the large flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink, stamping off once. I stamped the detail flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink over the stamped off image. I stamped the stem image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the images out using the Floral Gallery Dies. I adhered the stem image to the embossed panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the flower on the stem using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For the inside I stamped the bouquet of flowers image from the Art Gallery stamp set by coloring the stems with my Old Olive Stampin’ Write Marker and the tiny buds with my Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker, on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the image again, just inking up the flowers with Night Of Navy Ink, I stamped off on a piece of scrap paper 2 times to get a very light shade. I stamped the small detail flower in Night of Navy Ink over 3 of the stamped flowers. I fussy cut the flowers using my Paper Snips. I adhered the flowers to the bouquet using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, then adhered the bouquet to the card base using Glue Dots. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Simply Succulents Cling Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Terracotta Tile card base using Stampin’ Seal. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the stem image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Terracotta Tile Ink, stamping off once, on the stem. I stamped the detailed flower image over the stamped image in Terracotta Tile Ink. I adhered a panel of the Fine Art Floral DSP to the envelope flap.
