Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Has anyone made any plans for the weekend yet? I’m off tomorrow and Sunday is the last of the month, so I have to go into the office. The good thing about the last of the month being on a Sunday, I can go in whenever I want, get my work done and go home. Plus, since no one is usually in the office on the weekend, I get to put my own music on or watch my team members videos while I work.

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! Snow Crystal Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Flurry Bundle and the Sale-a-bration Silver & Gold 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by folding my Basic White Thick card base at 4 1/4″ & 2 1/8″. I adhered the smaller panel of Silver & Gold DSP to a Pacific Point mat. I adhered the layered panel to the front of the Basic White Thick card base. On a panel of Vellum, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampiun’ Up! Joyful Flurry Cling Stamp Set in Pacific Point Ink and set it aside to dry.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large snowflake image from the Snow Crystal stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Silver Embossing Powder from the Metallic Embossing Powders and set it using my Heat Tool. I fussy cut the snowflake using my Paper Snips. I adhered the snowflake to the card front, using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on one half of the snowflake.

I cut the sentiment out using the larger die from the Frosted Flurry Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the snowflake using Glue Dots. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I adhered the larger panel of Silver & Gold DSP to a Pacific Point mat. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Pacific Point Ink. I stamped the dotted image from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pacific Point mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the dotted image from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, along the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped the small snowflake image from the Joyful Flurry stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink above the dots. I adhered a panel of Silver & Gold DSP to the envelope flap.
