Good Friday the 13th morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I’ve got all my cookie doughs mixed, some of my bar cookies made and today and tomorrow I bake everything off. My house will have the wonderful aroma of freshly baked cookies for the next couple days. Now to have the willpower not to eat them.
For today’s I made a card for you doing Simple Stamping . I never do simple, but I thought I’d give it a try. All I used was Stamp, Ink and Paper. There are no layers, except for the sentiment and one thin strip. Here’s my card.
My colors were inspired by the Color Throwdown Challenge #573. Here are their colors.
I played along with the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #415. Here is their sketch.
I started by folding my Thick Whisper White card base at 4 1/4″ & 2″ (a little different than a regular Z-Fold).
I adhered a thin strip of Lovely Lipstick cardstock to the left edge of the card base, on the fold, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On the 2″ card front I stamped the script image from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles Cling Stamp Set twice in Granny Apple Green Ink stamping off once. I stamped the sentiment from the Very Versailles stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on a strip of Whisper White cardstock. I adhered the sentiment strip to a Lovely Lipstick mat using Snail.
I stamped the tulip stems and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the right of the card base. I stamped the medium and small tulip images from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Lovely Lipstick Ink on the stems. I adhered the sentiment, so that it went across the stems, on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Very Versailles stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink behind the fold.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the tulip stems and leaves from the Timeless Tulips stamp set on the envelope front. I stamped the medium and small tulip image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Lovely Lipstick Ink on the stems. I stamped the script image from the Very Versailles stamp set on the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card. The Timeless Tulips Stamp Set will be available for purchase on January 3, 2020 from the New January-June Mini Catalog. Happy Stamping.

Product List
On the front of the Z-Fold I adhered 2 of the fussy cut snowmen using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowman Season Photopolymer Stamp Set on the DSP in Shaded Spruce Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. You can emboss any color when you use your ink and the Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I just love the way an embossed sentiment looks, so I do this a lot.
