Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Akiko’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Fun Fold”. We can interpret this however we want. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Charming Duck Pond Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Lily Pond Lane 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding a Pretty in Pink card base as listed in the measurements below. I cut the panel of Lily Pond Lane DSP in half at 1 7/8″. I cut the top of the panel at 3″ and I cut the bottom panel at 2″. This makes the 4 panels you need for the card front.

I adhered the panels of Lily Pond Lane DSP to Pretty Peacock mats using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panels to Pretty in Pink card front panels using Liquid Glue. I added Liquid Glue to the right 1″ folded card front panel. I adhered the 2″ layered panel to the top and the 3″ layered panels to the bottom, lining up the right edge of the card front. I added Liquid Glue to the left 1″ card front panel. I adhered the 3″ layered panel to the top and the 2″ layered panel to the bottom, lining up the left edge.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the top card front panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Adhesive-Backed Dapple Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the duck images from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the cattail image from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Pretty Peacock and Pretty in Pink Inks next to the ducks. I colored the images using Granny Apple Green, Gray Granite, Peach Pie, Pretty in Ink and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Pretty in ink card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the cattail image from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set on the envelope front in Pretty in ink and Pretty Peacock Inks. I adhered a panel of Lily Pond Lane DSP to the envelope flap.
