Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you ready for the weekend? Has anyone made any plans? I have off tomorrow and tomorrow night my boss has bought all the employees and a guest, tickets to our local minor league baseball game. There are 40 of us that will be in the picnic area eating, drinking and having fun. When the game is over there’s a fireworks display, YAY!! It’s supposed to be nice out, so hopefully we won’t be sweating too much.

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. I’m sorry about the hot mess with my scoring and folding of my card base. I had all the measurements written down, but I wrote one of them wrong. All the correct measurements are below. 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 are my cards for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! True Beauty Bundle along with the Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding a Blushing Bride card base at 4 1/4″, 6 3/4″ & 9 1/4″.

I adhere panel of Awash In Beauty DSP to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

For the belly band, I took the strip of Blushing Bride cardstock and loosely wrapped it around the card base, so it slides on and off easily. I adhered it together using Stampin’ Seal +. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the rose image from the Stampin’ Up! True Beauty Cling Stamp Set in Blushing Bride Ink and Merry Merlot Ink. Using my Organic Beauty Dies, I cut the 2 rose images and 3 sprig dies from the Basic White panel. I cut 2 of the leaf dies from a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock. I brushed some Balmy Blue Ink on the sprigs using my Blending Brush. I adhered the 2 leaf dies to the belly band using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the roses over the leaf dies using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tucked the sprigs under the roses using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Merry Merlot cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the True Beauty stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered it to the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Glue Dot. I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels to the belly bank.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the True Beauty stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the Awash in Beauty DSP. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the True Beauty stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I stamped the stem image from the True Beauty stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the rose image from the True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on the stem. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to the inside of the card base over the DSP.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the rose image from True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on the envelope front. Using my Stampin’ Up! Masking Paper, I stamped the rose and fussy cut it, using my Paper Snips. I covered the rose and stamped the 2nd rose in Merry Merlot Ink and the leaf image from the True Beauty stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I adhered a panel of Awash in Beauty 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. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments on my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take on the card. 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.
