Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. HAPPY SPRING! My Crocuses are blooming, my Daffodils are starting to pop up, and I’ve even seen the start of my tulips. Now if the temps here would get a little warmer it would feel like spring too. I have so much yard clean-up to do, but it’s just too cold to go out and do it, plus the ground is still a frozen.

I have a quick masculine card for you today. I always struggle with those cards. There are a couple bundles coming in the new catalog that might just make them a little easier to make. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Symphony Bundle along with the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Framed All Around Stamp Set for my card today.

Adhere a panel of Nature Walk DSP to the front of the Lost Lagoon card base. Adhere a panel of Nature Walk DSP to a Lost Lagoon mat. Adhere the layered panel to the Lost Lagoon card front, adding adhesive only on the back of the left side.

Using the Nature’s Symphony Dies, cut 2 of the large leaf die from panels of Pretty Peacock and Nature Walk DSP. Adhere the leaves to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, over the leaf stems. Add a few Faux Bronze Pentagons to the card front.

Adhere a panel of Nature Walk DSP to the inside back of the Lost Lagoon card base. On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Framed All Around stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. Stamp the small leaf image from Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the corners. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the small leaf image from Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Nature Walk 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!!
