Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Hope you had a productive one. Is anyone doing anything this weekend? A friend of mine was going to a nursery and I asked her to pick up a flat of flowers for me. I’m hoping to get them planted around my gardens and in some of my flower pots.
For today’s card I have a fun fold that uses a whole sheet of cardstock along with giving you a sneak peek of a new bundle coming in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. Here’s my card for today.
My colors were inspired by Paper Players Color Challenge #490. Here are their colors.
My design is from the CAS Colours & Sketch Challenge #370. Here is their sketch.
I also joined in with Just Add Ink Challenge #505. Their theme is ‘Thinking of You!’
I started with an 8 1/2″ X 11″ panel of Pool Party cardstock. I scored it in half at 5 1/2″. I turned the panel the long way and scored it at 2 1/8″ & 6 3/8″. It should look like the photo below.
I cut the top right and left side panels off at the score lines, it will look like the photos below. After cutting the side panels off, I cut another 1/16″ off the gate folds so that the top would fold down flat. The bottom portion will be a gate fold card and the top portion will fold down.
The bottom portion will be a gate fold card and the top portion will fold down.
I adhered a panel of Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Pool Party mat using Snail. On a Whisper White strip I stamped the foliage image from the Stampin’ Up! Field of Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered the panel to a Pool Party mat using Snail. On a scrap of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the tiny flower image from the Field of Flowers stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink a couple times. I cut the images out using the Confetti Flowers Border Punch. I also cut some of the flowers out of a scrap of Melon Mambo cardstock. I randomly adhered the flowers to the stems using tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On another small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Field of Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the larger stem image from the Field of Flowers stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink over the sentiment. I stamped the single flower image from the Field of Flowers stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink on the stems. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Field of Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink below the sentiment and a couple times on the DSP. I cut the sentiment out using the 2nd smallest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I cut a scalloped circle out of Pool Party cardstock using the Layering Circles Dies that was a size larger than the stitched circle. I adhered the stitched circle to the scalloped circle using Snail and then on top of the artwork strip using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Melon Mambo Noble Peacock Rhinestones to the artwork.
I adhered 2 panels of Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper to the 2 inside fold panels. To keep with the colors, I colored the leaves and flowers on the DSP using my Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write Markers.
On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Field of Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the stem image from the Field of Flowers stamp set on the side and bottom of the panel in Granny Apple Green Ink. I stamped the double flower image from the Field of Flowers stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink on top of the stems. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pool Party mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the stem image from the Field of Flowers stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower images from the Field of Flowers stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink on top of the stems. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Field of Flowers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink near the flowers. I adhered a panel of the Parisian Blossoms Specialty 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. The stamp set/bundle I used will be available for purchase June 3rd. The DSP and Noble Peacock Rhinestones I used will be retiring June 2nd or while supplies last. Happy Stamping.
