Stampin’ Up! Warm and Toasty for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you all ready for the weekend? I’m not sure, but I think my husband might be going to cut our tree. I’ll be working all weekend I believe.

I thought I was done making my Christmas cards and my husband asked me to make a card for his department to give their supervisor. Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you very much. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card that I made. I used a few stamp set for my card, but the main set I used was the Stampin’ Up! Warm & Toasty Cling Stamp Set.

I played along with The Spot Challenge #140. Their theme is Holiday Throwdown (Over the Top Holiday Cards).

I started by adhering 8 panels of the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper to the front and back of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from Warm & Toasty stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Snowflake Splendor DSP. I adhered the DSP to a Whisper White mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the center of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped 4 of the animal images from the Warm & Toasty stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I colored the images in using my Balmy Blue, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Ivory, Just Jade, Real Red, Smoky Slate and Color Lifter Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut all the images using my Paper Snips. Using the Pine Woods Dies, I cut 3 of the snow drift dies from a panel of Whisper White cardstock.

I adhered a strip of Silver Foil sheet to the top snow drift using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the snow drifts together using Glue Dots on the bottom 2 and Stampin’ Dimensionals on the top one. I stamped the snow image in Balmy Blue Ink on the drifts to give them a little dimension. I adhered the snow drifts to the card base using Tear & Tape on the top section and Stampin’ Dimensionals on the bottom.

I adhered the cut images to the card front and snow using Stampin’ Dimensionals. After I added them I felt like the inside still needed a little something, so I added a tall pine tree I had cut from a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock using the Pine Woods Dies. I also stamped the tree cluster image from the Stampin’ Up! In The Pines Photopolymer Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock and cut out using the Pine Woods Dies. I adhered the tall pine tree using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the tree cluster using Glue Dots.

This is how the card looks when it is sitting on a table, so you can see how it is folded.

On a Whisper White panel I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Christmas Cling Stamp Set the the Stampin’ Up! From All Of Us Cling Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink towards the top. I adhered the Whisper white panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin Seal and then adhered it to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped 2 of the small tree images from the In The Pines stamp set in Just Jade Ink and cut them out using the Pine Woods Dies. I adhered them to the side panels using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the small tree images from the In The Pines stamp set in Just Jade Ink on the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of Snowflake Splendor 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 list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

Stampin’ Up! Monogram Messages for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
2

Good Friday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s week? Are you ready for the weekend. I’m working tomorrow, but Sunday we have our ‘In Person, Virtually’ team meeting. Even virtually I love getting together with everyone and stamping. We have such a great team and the best team leader you’d ever want.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you very much. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card that I made.

I pulled out a couple set from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog for my card today. The Stampin’ Up! Monogram Messages Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Happiest of Birthdays Cling Stamp Set.

I stamped the ‘C’ from the Monogram Messages stamp set in Versamark Ink on a small panel of Whisper White cardstock. I immediately sprinkled it with my Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I stamped the sentiment from the Monogram Messages stamp set right next to the ‘C’ in Gorgeous Grape Ink.

I stamped the sprig image from the Monogram Messages stamp set in Highland Heather Ink next to the ‘C’. I stamped the leaf image from the Monogram Messages stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink next to the sprig. I stamped the flower image from the Monogram Messages stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink on a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I adhered the flower to the ‘C’ using a Glue Dot. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Silver Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the front of a small Pear Pizzazz card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the artwork.

I embossed a small panel of Highland Heather cardstock using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder and adhered it to the Soft Seafoam card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I adhered a panel of the Feels Like Frost 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the inside of the Soft Seafoam card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Monogram Messages stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Highland Heather mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Pear Pizzazz card base to the inside of the Soft Seafoam card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the sprig image from the Monogram Messages stamp set in Highland Heather Ink and the leaf image in Pear Pizzazz Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Feels Like Frost 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 list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here

Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals For Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
2

Good Friday morning my stamping friends. Did you all have a nice Thanksgiving? How many of you ended up in a food coma after eating your dinner? We had a very nice quiet one here. Once everything was done, I started pulling some boxes out of the attic of our Christmas decorations. It’s been a tradition for years that the weekend after Thanksgiving Christmas explodes in my house. The past couple years it’s taken more that just the weekend to decorate with my work schedule. This year I have the advantage that I don’t have to undecorate and clean before decorating since we just cleaned and put all our furniture back in our house. I’ll see how much I get done between today and tomorrow.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you very much. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card that I made.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals Bundle for today’s Fun Fold Card.

I started by adhering a panel of Poinsettia Place DSP to an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted DSP to the Petal Pink card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front just under the 1″ top of the card base using Tear & Tape.

On a panel of Shimmery White cardstock I stamped the poinsettia image from the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the medium poinsettia layered image from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set on the Shimmer White cardstock twice in Soft Suede Ink. I colored the poinsettia image in using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I then used my Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter to remove some of the color so that it had a very light color. I colored the leave in using my Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut all the images out using my Poinsettia Dies. I snipped the leaves apart using my Paper Snips. I adhered the leaves under the flower image using Glue Dots.

I wrapped a piece of 3/8″ Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon around the top of the card front and tied a knot. On a strip of Shimmery White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the flower to the right of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Beaded Pearl embellishment to the flower center using a Glue Dot. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I adhered a panel of Poinsettia Place DSP to an Old Olive mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from Poinsettia Petals stamp set in the center of a panel of Shimmery White cardstock in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the poinsettia flower from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set over the sentiment in Petal Pink Ink, stamping off once. I adhered the Shimmery White panel to the inside of the Petal Pink card base in the center of the DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the poinsettia flower from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the envelope front. I colored the flower in using my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I masked the flower and stamped the leaves from the medium layered poinsettia from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I colored the leave in using my Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Poinsettia Place 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 list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

Stampin’ Up! Enjoy The Moment Sneak Peek for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by

Good Friday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s week? The weekend is upon us, does anyone have any plans? Besides trying to get my house back in order, I’ll be at work all weekend. We will finally be able to walk on our new floors today, but only with socks, no shoes. I’ll be happy to be able to sleep in my own bed tonight. The hotel was fine, but it’s not home. We probably won’t move our furniture back into the house until next week. My husband has a lot of painting to do now and he has to replace a lot of the molding. We figured it would be a lot easier to do without any furniture in place. I can’t wait till it’s all done and everything can be put back in place.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you very much. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. You won’t be able to make the exact card unless you were able to purchase this set already. The stamp set will be available in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and the DSP I used is a free item from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. Here’s my card that I made.

For my Fun Fold card I used the Stampin’ Up! Enjoy The Moment Cling Stamp Set that will be available in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog on January 5, 2021. I also used the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper that can be earned free with a qualifying order from Sale-A-Bration starting January 5, 2021.

This is the template for cutting your Drapery Fold card.

I started by cutting and folding the Flower & Field DSP as in the template above. I added a couple Glue Dots in between the folds to hold them in place.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Enjoy The Moment stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I trimmed the folded DSP to 5 1/4″ and adhered it to the Whisper White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I wrapped a piece of the Just Jade 1/4″ 2020-2022 In-Color Ribbon around the card front and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Just Jade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Misty Moonlight 2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Enjoy The Moment stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the flourish image from Enjoy The Moment stamp set in Just Jade Ink, stamping off once, on either side of the sentiment. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Shaded Spruce mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Just Jade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the flourish image from the Enjoy The Moment stamp set in Just Jade Ink, stamping off once, across the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Flower & Field 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 list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. The stamp set for my card today will be available in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog on January 5, 2021.

Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes Sneak Peek for my Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
6

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I hope you all had a productive one. Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be working all day tomorrow. It’s been a rainy few days here but of course it’s suppose to be sunny tomorrow.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you very much. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. You won’t be able to make the exact card unless you were able to purchase these set already. Both stamp sets and the DSP will be available in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Here’s the card that I made.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Cling Stamp Set to make my card today.

I started by lightly adhering a panel of the Dandy Garden 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Bumblebee card base using a tiny amount of Stampin’ Seal just on 2 of the corners to hold it in place. I cut the center out using the 2nd largest die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I set the pieces to the side and adhered the Dandy Garden DSP to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I tied a piece of the Misty Moonlight 2020-2022 In-Color 1/4″ Ribbon around the card front and tied a bow. I added a Glue Dot under the bow to hold it in place.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the dandelion image from the Garden Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the flower center image from the Garden Wishes stamp set in Bumblebee Ink, stamping off once, in the center of the dandelion. I colored the stem and leave in using my Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the 3rd largest die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I adhered the artwork to the Bumblebee mat (which I cut out from the card base earlier), using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a panel of Dandy Garden DSP to the inner card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered the matted artwork to it using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a couple of the Ladybug Trinkets to the artwork using Glue Dots.

On the inside Z-Fold card I stamped the wild flower image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Wishes stamp set in the center of the Whisper White panel I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Bumblebee Ink on the top and bottom corners of the panel, masking it with a Post-It note so that I didn’t get ink on the side panel. I colored the flowers in using my Calypso Coral and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the inner card base to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bumblebee card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the dandelion image from the Garden Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower center image from the Garden Wishes stamp set in bumblebee Ink, stamping off once, in the center of the dandelion. I colored the leaves and stem in using my Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Bumblebee Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Dandy Garden 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 list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. The stamp sets and DSP for my project today will be available in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog on January 5, 2021.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Means More for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
14

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Hope everyone had a productive week and have some fun plans for the weekend. I’ll be attending OnStage @ Home all day today and tomorrow. I can’t wait to be able to share some of the new items coming in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog with you.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watch the replay, thank you very much. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s the card that I made.

My design is from Try Stamping on Tuesday Challenge #482. Here is their sketch.

I also joined in with Festive Friday Challenge #0071. Here is their Inspo List. I went with Die Cut, Pattern Paper, Sentiment and Fun Fold

For the card front I adhered a panel of ‘Tis The Season 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal. On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Means More Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the bells in using my Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Shapes Dies.

I cut a panel of ‘Tis The Season DSP into a banner using my Triple Banner Punch and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment on top of the banner using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut 4 of the pine boughs out using the Sounds Of The Season Dies from a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock. I adhered 3 of the pine boughs under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut the medium bell from the Sounds of the Season Dies from a panel of Silver Foil paper. I took the holly and berries out of the bell and colored them in using my Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I put Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the bell and fit the holly and berries, like a puzzle, back into the spaces (they will stick to the Stampin’ Dimensionals). I adhered the pine bough through the little hanger using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered the bell just under the sentiment using the Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to the Shaded Spruce card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Directions below for the card base.

The card base takes a full sheet of Shaded Spruce cardstock. I first scored the cardstock in half at 4 1/4″. I turned the cardstock a 1/4 turn and scored again at 2 3/4″ & 8 1/4″. At the 2 3/4″ scored line, I cut from the top to the 4 1/8″ mark on my Stampin’ Trimmer. I turned the cardstock and lined the edge up with the 4 3/8″ mark and cut down to cut the panel off. I flipped the cardstock around and lined it up with the 8 1/4″ scored line and again cut down to the 4 1/8″ mark on my Stampin’ Trimmer. I turned the cardstock and lined the edge up with the 4 1/8″ mark and cut down to cut the panel off. On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cherish The Season Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the larger double bell image from the Cherish The Season stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink next to the sentiment and colored them in using my Gray Granite Stampn’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Shaded Spruce card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the gate fold part of the card I adhered 2 panels of ‘Tis The Season DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the double bell image from Cherish The Season stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front and colored the image in using my Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of ‘Tis The Season 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 list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch it on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Curvy Christmas for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
6

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? If you’re in the path of our latest hurricane, Zeta, I hope you are all safe with little or no damage. We’re getting the remnants of the storm here, lots of rain and some wind and tonight it’s suppose to drop to the 20’s. It might be time for me to give in and put the heat on. The weekend is upon us again and It’s Halloween, luckily it’s suppose to be nice weather for the trick or treaters. Does anyone have any plans? Does anyone dress up for Halloween? Once again I’ll be at work both days. The last day of the month and the first of the month I work no matter the day of the week.

For today’s fun fold I didn’t do this one on my Facebook live. This one is so Quick and Easy I would have been able to get 3 or 4 of them done on a video. Here’s my card for today.

I pulled out an older set from the Annual catalog for this card, the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat Cling Stamp Set. I almost passed this one up if it wasn’t for my niece looking at the catalog one day and asking if I had it.. It’s really a great masculine set.

I folded and scored a panel of Misty Moonlight card stock at 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″. I adhered the inner fold of the card together using Stampin’ Seal. This leaves the actual card front size to be 4 1/4″ X 4 1/4″

I adhered a panel of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper to the left side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of the Misty Moonlight/Silver Bakers Twine from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, around the end twice and tied a bow.

I embossed a panel of Misty Moonlight card stock using my Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the cabin image from the Rustic Retreat stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut the image out using the oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I curved the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Curvy Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set (available November 3rd) and stamped it along the curve of the oval in Crumb Cake Ink. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the cabin image from the Rustic Retreat stamp set in the center of a Whisper White panel, stamping off twice, in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Rustic Retreat stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink over the cabin. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal and then 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 cabin image from the Rustic Retreat stamp set in Crumb Cake in on the envelope front.

I adhered a panel of the Snowflake Splendor 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. What did you think? Quick and Easy? You can easily make a stack of these in no time. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
8

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? I’ll be working both days again. Ever since my daughter said that she wanted to go apple picking I have been working extra.

Today’s card I made Wednesday on my Facebook Live Video. If you were able to join me live or you watched the replay, thank you very much.  If you’d like to view my video either on Facebook or YouTube, the links are below. Here’s my card for today.

The Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Bundle will be available for purchase in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. The Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Bundle will be available November 3rd.

I started by scoring and folded a Misty Moonlight card base at 1 1/2″ & 4 1/4″. I folded the card base in half and then folded the 1 1/2″ fold back. I adhered the larger of the 3 Dandy Garden 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper panels to the front fold of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the other 2 panels of the Dandy Garden DSP to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On the inside Whisper White panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Cling Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the tiny dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink above and below the sentiment. I adhered the Whisper White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the floral image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored some of the image in using my Calypso Coral, Misty Moonlight and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the 2nd largest Stitched Nested Labels Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals, hanging off the left side. On another panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and stamped the wing fill color in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off once. I adhered the dragonfly to the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock using my Curvy Dies then stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Photopolymer Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the right side and a Glue Dot on the artwork. I added a couple of the adorable Ladybug Trinkets to the sentiment and the card base using Glue Dots.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the tiny dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink along the bottom front of the envelope.

I adhered another design from the Dandy Garden 6 X 6 DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you liked my card.  The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. Items used won’t be available until January 5th, but you can use any DSP and stamp set to recreate this card.  You can watch it on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Snow Wonder for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
4

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I hope you are all ready for the weekend.

Today’s card is one I made on Wednesday on my Facebook live video. If you were able to join me live or watch the replay, thank you very much. If you weren’t and you would like to see it, the links are below. I got my inspiration for the design from Patty Bennett, you can see her card Here. Here is my take on her design.

I started by adhering the 2 panels of Champagne Foil to Garden Green mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered 2 panels of Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper to the matted Champagne Foil using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the smaller matted panel to the front easel section of the Thick Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the other matted panel to the smaller Thick Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the snowman image from the Stampn’ Up! Snow Wonder Cling Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the image out using my Snow Time Dies. I colored just the holly & berries on the snowman’s hat using my Garden Green and Real Red Stampin’ Write Markers. I colored the carrot nose using my Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Write Marker. I stamped the tree image from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Garden Green Ink twice on a panel of Whisper White cardstock and cut the images out using my Snow Time Dies. I adhered the trees to the small card front using Glue Dots. I adhered the snowman on top of the trees using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Garden Green Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the smaller of the 2 frame dies from the Snow Time Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the small card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Real Red Wonderful Gems to the sentiment and card front. I adhered the small card base to the back panel of the large easel card base using Multipurpose Liquid glue.

After I was all finished with my video Wednesday, I realized I had the inner liner and inner liner mat that I forgot to use. I stamped the sentiment from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Garden Green Ink in the center of the Very Vanilla panel. It’s very hard to see, but I embossed the corners of the panel using the snowflake die from the Snow Time Dies. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the small Thick Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope. I stamped the snowman image from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the envelope front. I colored the holly, berries and carrot nose in using my Garden Green, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Write Markers.

I adhered a panel of the Toile Tidings 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 list of supplies are below along with the measurements if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video.  You can watch it on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern Wedding for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by
8

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday.  How was everyone’s week?  We’re upon the weekend and it’s supposed to be another beautiful one here. Love these cool mornings and warmer afternoons.

Today’s fun fold card is one that I made on Wednesday afternoon on my Facebook Live video.  If you were able to join me or you watched the replay, thank you very much.  If you’d like to view my video either on Facebook or YouTube, the link is below.  I needed another wedding card for my boss from my family, here’s what I came up with.   I’m calling it a folded gate fold with a belly band.

I started by scoring and folding my Thick Whisper White card base at 1 1/4″, 3 3/8″, 7 5/8″ & 9 3/4″.  I adhered 4 panels of Peony Garden Designer Series Paper to 4 Gray Granite mats using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered 2 of the matted panels to the outside panels of the card base and 2 to the inside panels of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid glue.

I embossed 2 panels of Gray Granite cardstock using the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder and adhered them to the narrow front panels of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

For the belly band, I adhered a panel of Petal Pink cardstock to a panel of Gray Granite cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I wrapped the belly band around the card and adhered it using Tear & Tape. I wrapped a piece of 1/4″ Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon around the belly band securing it down with Glue Dots.  On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern Cling Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink.  I stamped one of the leaf images from the Forever Fern stamp set in Soft Seafoam Ink, stamping off once,  on either side of the sentiment.  I cut the sentiment out using the frame die from the Wild Rose Dies.  I cut 2 of the largest fern dies from the Forever Flourishing Dies from a panel of Vellum cardstock and adhered them to the belly band using Glue Dots.  I adhered the die cut sentiment to the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a few Elegant Faceted Gems to the sentiment die.

On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Path of Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink in the center of a Whisper White Panel.  I stamped the leaf image from the Forever Fern stamp set in Soft Seafoam Ink on the bottom of the panel.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Gray Granite mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the leaf image from the Forever Fern stamp set in Soft Seafoam on the envelope front once full strength and once stamped off.  I adhered a panel of Peony Garden 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 list of supplies are below along with the measurements if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video.  You can watch it on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here.  Happy Stamping!!
