Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you all ready for the weekend?
For today’s I needed a card for my little nephew who is turning 6. I was back and forth with what I was going to do and I decided to use some of the new Designer Series Paper from the 2020 January – June Mini Catalog called Birthday Bonanza. I wasn’t real sure about the Daffodil Delight for a boy, but I thought it would be fun. I do not have the Bonanza Buddies Bundle, but sure could have used it for this card, so I had to improvise. Here’s my card.
My colors were inspired by CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #358. Here are their colors.
My design is from the Fab Friday Challenge #183. Here is their sketch.
I started by adhering a panel of the Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper to a Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling Stamp Set on a panel of Whisper White cardstock in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I stamped the splatter image from the Stampin’ Up! Delightful Day Photopolymer Stamp Set in Daffodil Delight and Grapefruit Grove Inks all around and over the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using my Layering Circles Dies. I cut a circle out of Pear Pizzazz cardstock using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment circle to the Pear Pizzazz circle using Snail.
I cut a panel of Daffodil Delight cardstock using the Rectangle Stitched Dies and then embossed it using my Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the rectangle to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut a thin strip of Pear Pizzazz cardstock into a banner using my Paper Snips and adhered it across the rectangle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I made banner ends on a piece of 5/8″ Whisper White Flax Ribbon and adhered it over the Pear Pizzazz using Snail. I adhered the sentiment circle on top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Candle Embellishment above the sentiment.
The inside is where the fun fold comes in. I took a 5 3/8″ X 10 1/2″ piece of the Birthday Bonanza DSP and scored it at 2 1/4″, 3 1/4″, 4 1/4″, 5 1/4″, 6 1/4″, 7 1/4″ & 8 1/4″ and folded it like an accordion. It should look like the picture above.
I adhered first one side to the inside of the Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then adhered the other side the same. You only want to put the Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the 2 1/4″ piece on either side of the accordion. I cut 3 squares out of Pear Pizzazz cardstock using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I fussy cut the 3 images from the Birthday Bonanza DSP using my Paper Snips and adhered one to each square using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I arranged the squares the way I wanted them and adhered them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue only on 1/2 of each square. I stamped the sentiments from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I adhered the panel to the inside right of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I adhered a strip of Birthday Bonanza DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I fussy cut another one of the images from the Birthday Bonanza DSP and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of the Birthday Bonanza DSP to the envelope flap.
