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

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! Christmas Banners Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Cling Stamp Set and the Lights Aglow 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by embossing a panel of Brushed Metallic Paper using the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. For anyone that watched my video and wanted the Snowflakes, check out my Instagram Reel. I made one with the snowflake embossing folder. I cut a panel of Lights Aglow DSP on the right side in the center at the 2 5/8″, I cut in 2″. I scored from the bottom right corner to the 2″ mark and from the top right corner to the 2″ mark.

I folded the 2 corners on the score lines. I adhered the folded DSP panel to the Brushed Metallic embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to an Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the banner image from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Banners Photopolymer Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Banners stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I cut the banner out using the Christmas Banner Dies. I adhered the banner to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

From panels of Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Brushed Metallic cardstocks, I cut the berries, branches, pine boughs and sprigs using the Christmas Banner Dies. I arranged the die cut pieces under the banner the way I liked them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Festive Pearls to the banner.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the pine bough and sprig images from the Christmas Banners stamp set in Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent Ink around the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pine bough and sprig images from the Christmas Banners stamp set on the envelope front in Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent Inks. I adhered a panel of Lights Aglow 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.

Stampin’ Up! is also hosting a free, virtual card making event on October 1!  In just under three hours, Stampin’ Up will make three unique cards and will share the instructions with you.  Everyone is invited and welcome, and registration is not required.  Mark your calendars now!

To make the most of this experience, you can order the Cottage Rose Bundle from the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog, the Cottage Wreaths Bundle from the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog, or the Warm Welcome Bundle which you can get early from the January–June 2023 Mini Catalog!!  The bundles aren’t required to attend the event, but if you’d like to make the projects presented, you’ll want to get the bundles!

Available Now!!

Some things are great on their own but become epic when they are paired with something else: cereal and milk, toast and butter, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. We may be biased, but our favorite combo is our stamp sets and dies—and that’s what the Perfect Partners promotion is all about! 

We created six new dies that coordinate with stamp sets in the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog and the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog. These coordinating dies will only be available during this promotion and will not be offered in any catalog.  

These stamp sets and dies are available separately or as a bundle. By buying the bundle, you and your customers will save 10% off the retail price.
