Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. We’re almost to the weekend, YAY!!! Is anyone starting to make plans? I’ll be working all day tomorrow and we have our quarterly team meeting on Sunday.

I have a drapery fold card for you today using a couple of the new 2024-2026 In-Colors. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today

I used the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Bundle, Unbounded Beauty DSP and Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Her is the template I used for the card front.

I started by scoring an Unbounded Beauty DSP card front using the Simply Score. I folded the DSP making the 4″, 7″ & 10″ score lines mountain folds and the 3″, 6″ & 9″ scorelines valley folds. Once it was folded, I trimmed 1/4″ off the side using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the drapery card front to a Summer Splash mat using Liqui Glue.

I wrapped a piece of Pretty In Pink 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon around the top of the layered panel and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to a Pretty in Pink card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the outline flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pretty in Pink Ink. I stamped the solid flower image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Pretty in Pink Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I cut the flower out using the Flowers of Beauty Dies. I cut the 2 leaf dies using the Unbounded Love Dies from a panel of Summer Splash. I adhered the die cut leaves to the bottom of the panel using a Glue Dot. I adhered the flower on top of the leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set on the panel of Basic White in Summer Splash Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a 2024-2026 In-Color Resin Dot to the sentiment.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Summer Splash Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the outlined flower image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Pretty in Pink Ink on the 2 corners of the panel. I stamped the solid flower image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Pretty in Pink Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. I stamped the leaf image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set in Summer Splash Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Summer Splash mat then to the inside of the Pretty in Pink card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower and leaf images from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Unbounded Beauty DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2024-2025Annual Catalog, or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift.

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.
