Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week. Amy and I arrived in GA yesterday for our retreat. We headed to Mary’s and then drove with Mary and Janet up to the cabin. The fun started immediately when everyone started to arrive. It was so exciting seeing everyone again. Once we all got unpacked, we set up our stations in the craft room. Everyone was passing out their little gifts to each other and the chatting and laughing began. Before we knew it, it was time for a delicious dinner of Beef Lasagna, Roasted Broccoli, Lemon-Garlic Grilled Zucchini, Honey-Garlic-Siracha Cauliflower and of course Garlic Bread. We had an amazing Creme Brulé for dessert. We sat around the table for a few hours after dinner and laughed till our sides were aching.

I have a quick fun fold card for you today focusing mainly on the embossing folder. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Cling Stamp Set along with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder, Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper and Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Emboss 2 panels of the Earthen Toned Metallic Paper using the Sunflower EF. Adhere the embossed panels to the Basic Beige card base.

Wrap a Basic Beige belly band around the card and adhere the ends in the front. Wrap a piece of Old Olive Linen Thread around the belly band 3 times and tie a bow. Stamp the sentiment on a panel of Basic Beige in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Bronze Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. Using the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch, cut a panel of the Earthen Toned Metallic Paper. Adhere the sentiment to the Metallic mat then to the belly band. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Amber Autumn stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Stamp the leaf image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the top of the panel. Adhere an embossed panel of the Earthen Toned Metallic Paper to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to an Earthen Toned Metallic mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the leaf image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
