Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I hope you are ready for the weekend and hopefully some of you have an extra-long one. I’ll be working all day tomorrow,1st of the month and I need to get the bills done and mailed out. With any luck I’ll be done by 2 and have the rest of the day for myself.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live 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 link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Suite Collection for my fun fold card today. This suite of products will be available as an Online Exclusive starting July 6th.

I started by scoring and folding the Night of Navy card base as stated below. I adhered the 4 – 1 1/8″ X 4″ panels of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the 4 coordinating Petal Pink mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panels to the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the 2 1/2″ X 4″ panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the Petal Pink mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the center of the card base. I adhered the 1″ X 5 1/4″ panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the Petal Pink mat. I adhered the layered panel to the panel of Misty Moonlight using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the horse & sleigh image from the Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using boho Blue, Crumb Cake, Ivory, Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. Using the Horse & Sleigh Dies, I cut the runners and swish die from a panel of Wild Wheat, and I cut a tree from a panel of Crumb Cake. I adhered the runners and swish to the sleigh using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the tree to the bridge section of the card using a Glue Dot. I adhered the horse & sleigh to the bridge section using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the bridge to the card base using Tear & Tape.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment form the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Glue Dots. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes to the card front.

On the back panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the pine tree image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the side of the panel. I colored the tree trunk using the Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blend Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the back of the Night of Navy card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pine tree image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front. I colored the tree trunk with Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Marker. I adhered a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh 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 of my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take on the card.

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.
