Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to Fun Fold Friday. I’m going to try to start making some kind of a Fun Fold card on Friday’s. I’d love your input if you would like to see this or not. The weekend is just a few hours away. Has anyone made plans? I’ll be working and I’m hoping to get in some craft time.
For my first Fun Fold Friday I have a gate fold card for you using the new Stampin’ Up Free As A Bird Cling Stamp Set. Here’s my card.
My card played along with a couple challenges. First is Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #393. Here is their sketch.
Next I joined in with Color Throwdown Challenge #548. Here are their beautiful colors.
I started by folding my Blushing Bride card base at 2 1/8″ and 6 3/8″ to make the gate fold card. I then randomly stamped the 2 flower images from the Free As A Bird stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on the card front. I stamped the leaf image from the Free As A Bird stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink randomly on the card front.
I stamped the birds on the branch image from the Free As A Bird stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Highland Heather, Mint Macaron and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered 2 thin strips of Highland Heather cardstock on the top and bottom of the artwork using Snail. I adhered the artwork to a panel of Mint Macaron cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Putting Stampin’ Dimensionals only on one side of the matted artwork, I adhered it to my card front. I also added a few Clear Epoxy Droplets to the artwork.
On the bottom right of my card front, below the artwork, I stamped the sentiment from the Free As A Bird stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
On the inside I stamped the flowers from the Free As A Bird stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on the top and bottom corners of a Whisper White panel. Doing the masking technique, I stamped the leaf image from the Free As A Bird stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink around the flowers. To do the masking technique, you stamp the flower image on a Post-It note and fussy cut it out. After you stamp the flowers on the paper, you cover it with the fussy cut Post-It and stamp the leaf image over the top and it looks like it’s behind the flowers. I stamped the sentiment from the Free As A Bird stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of the Whisper White panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Mint Macaron mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the larger bird image from Free As A Bird stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front. I colored it in using my Crumb Cake and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the flowers from the Free As A Bird stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on the envelope flap. Doing the masking technique again, I stamped the leaf image from the Free As A Bird stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink.
