Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Can you believe it’s the middle of July already?? Has anyone made any plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be working all day tomorrow and Sunday.

Before I get started, today starts the Back To School Sales Tax Holiday.

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. 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 is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set and the Butterfly Kisses 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper.

I started by scoring and folding the Fresh Freesia card base as listed below. I adhered a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to a Night of Navy mat. I adhered the layered panels to the Fresh Freesia card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the coordinating die from the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

I adhered 2 more panels of the Butterfly Kisses DSP to the inside of the card base. I scored & folded 3 strips of Night of Navy cardstock. I adhered the 6 square panels of Butterfly Kisses DSP to the inner 2 sections of the strips using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the strips to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the 2 outside sections of the Night of Navy strips lining the center fold up with the fold line of the card base. I fussy cut multiple butterflies from the Butterfly Kisses DSP using my Paper Snips. I adhered the butterflies to the inside of the card base using Glue Dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the top of a Basic White Panel. I stamped the tall floral image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using my Fresh Freesia and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the splatter image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the floral image. I adhered 2 of the fussy cut butterflies from the Butterfly Kisses DSP to the panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat and then to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using my Fresh Freesia and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to the envelope flap.
