Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my Fun Fold Friday!! I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend ahead. I’ll be heading out to Harrisburg PA today for a leader’s event. This is the 1st time there’s one this close to me and I didn’t want to miss it. The event is tomorrow, but we decided to get a hotel room for the night, so I don’t have to leave at 6am tomorrow morning.

Today’s card I used one of my favorite patterns of DSP from an Online Exclusive pack of DSP and made a super simple fun fold. I had originally made a reel for this card so you could see how I made it, but when I went to edit it somehow, I hit the flip button and recorded the ceiling. That was a first time I did that one. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Elegant Leaves Bundle, Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies and Autumn Opulence Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Adhere a panel of Autumn Opulence DSP to a Gold Foil mat. Adhere the layered panel to the front of the Blackberry Bliss card base. Cut 2 panels of Very Vanilla with the Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies.

Using the Elegant Leaves Dies, cut the 3 larger leaves from panels of Blackberry Bliss, Golden Glow and Peaceful Pine Two-Tone Cardstock. Cut the details leaf from 1 side of the paper, flip it over and cut the solid leaf from the other side so you have a contrast. Adhere the details leaves to the solid leaves.

Stamp the sentiment from Elegant Leaves stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the bottom right of one of the die cut Very Vanilla panels. Adhere the leaves to the top left of the panel with Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a triple bow with the Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine and adhere it to the leaf stems. Add a few Gold Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card frint.

Adhere the small panel of Autumn Opulence DSP to a Gold Foil mat. Adhere the layered panel to the left inside of the card base. Adhere the last panel of Autumn Opulence DSP to a Gold Foil mat. Adhere the layered panel to the right inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base. On the Very Vanilla die cut panel, stamp the sentiment from Elegant Leaves stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. Stamp a couple of the details leaf images from the Elegant Leaves stamp set in Golden Glow and Peaceful Pine Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the top of the panel. Adhere the Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the card base, behind the card front die cut panel.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the details leaf images from the Elegant Leaves stamp set in Blackberry Bliss, Golden Glow and Peaceful Pine Inks on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Autumn Opulence 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!!
