Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Is anyone doing anything fun this weekend? Normally this is the weekend that we have our quarterly in person team meeting, but under the circumstances we will not be able to meet in person. Hopefully we will for our next quarterly meeting. Instead, we will be meeting up together virtually. It should still be fun. This was also the weekend I was finally going to be off from work. Notice I said ‘was’. Yup, my boss asked me to come in both days to relieve my cashiers so they could take a lunch break, so I’ll be working both days for a couple hours.
So for today’s card I have a super simple fun fold. I finally got brave and tried making the layered peony. It’s much easier that it appears when you first look at all the dies. Here’s my card for today.
My design is from Global Design Project Challenge #244. Their theme is CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit.
I also played along with Watercooler Wednesday Challenge #275. Here is their theme.
I started by cutting 1 1/2″ off the right side of the card front base. I adhered a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to a Balmy Blue mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the front of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Using my Peony Dies for all the following, I cut all the layers of the peony out of a panel of Seaside Spray cardstock. Using my Sponge Dauber I sponged all the edges of the pieces using Misty Moonlight Ink. I embossed the pieces using my Subtle 3D Embossing Folder then using my Bone Folder I curled the edges of all the pieces. I layered the pieces one inside the other and adhered them together using Glue Dots. I cut the center of the peony from a scrap of So Saffron cardstock and brushed some Clear Wink of Stella over it. I adhered it to the center of the flower using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut 3 large leaves from a panel of Just Jade cardstock and 3 leaf edges from a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock. I embossed the leaves using my Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the Shaded Spruce leaf pieces to the full leaves using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered them to the back of the peony using Glue Dots.
I added some of the Misty Moonlight/Silver Bakers Twine, from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, to the card front. I adhered the peony over the twine using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Special Someone Photopolymer Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I made it into a banner and adhered it to the peony using Glue Dots. I added a few of the clear Elegant Faceted Gems to the card front.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Special Someone stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink in the center of the Whisper White panel. I stamped the medium peony from the Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony Cling Stamp Set on the bottom of the panel in Misty Moonlight Ink and colored it in using my Seaside Spray and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the left side of a Seaside Spray mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a small panel of the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper to the right side of the Seaside Spray mat using Stampin’ Seal. I then adhered it to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the medium peony from the Prized Peony stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the envelope front and colored it in using my Seaside Spray and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the In Good Taste 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. Happy Stamping!!
