Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday.  Are you ready for the weekend? I can’t believe we’re done with September already. Before you know it, It’ll be Thanksgiving weekend and Christmas. Time just flies by too quickly.

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, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

Stamp the tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Frosted Forest Photopolymer Stamp Set 3 times on a panel of Basic Beige in Pecan Pie Ink. Using the Frosted Forest Decorative Masks and Small Blending Brushes, add Pecan Pie, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Old Olive Ink to the trees. Stamp 3 of the bird image from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel and color them using Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the images out using the Frosted Forest Dies.

Score and fold a Basic Beige card base at 3″, 6″ & 7″. Adhere panels of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the card base using Liquid Glue. Score and fold the small card base at 4 1/4″. Adhere a panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the front of the small card base using Liquid Glue. Adhere the small card base to the larger card base using Tear & Tape Adhesive, by lining up the bottom front, closing the card base and adhering the folded edge on the back using Tear & Tape. Adhere the trees to the small card base using Stampin’ Seal and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

From the panel of Basic Beige, cut the sentiment mat using the Wanted to Say Dies. from a panel of Cajun Craze, cut the detailed sentiment using the Wanted to Say Dies. Adhere the detailed sentiment to the mat. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the birds using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from So Sincere stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink. Stamp the bird image from Frosted Forest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and color them using Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

On another panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink. from panels of Pecan Pie and Old Olive, cut the tree die using the Frosted Forest Dies. Snip the trees off the Old Olive die cut and adhere the Old Olive to the bottom of the Pecan Pie die cut. Adhere the die cut panel to the bottom of the Basic Beige panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the back of the Basic Beige card base.

Finish the card by decorating a Basic white Medium Envelope. Stamp the tree image from the Frosted Forest stamp set on the envelope front in Pecan Pie Ink. Using the Frosted Forest Decorative Masks and the Small Blending Brushes, add Pecan Pie, Cajun Craze and Old Olive Ink to the tree. Adhere a panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the envelope flap.
