Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Did everyone have a nice 4th? It was a very relaxing day here at our house. My niece came over in the morning with her dog and we went out walking for a few miles with the dogs. By the time we got home they were both hot and exhausted. Here’s a picture of what Coraline did after her walk. Smart pup, laid down right in front of the fan.
A few of my husband’s friends came over in the afternoon and we barbequed hamburgers and wings. I was even able to get a little crafting time in for myself. All was good here until the fireworks started going off all around out area. Coraline does not do well with them at all. I even gave her a calming treat, which only helped for a short time. She was a very nervous puppy. Gidget on the other hand had no clue what was going on.
Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled Bundle along with the Iconic Celebrations 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder for my card today
I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled Photopolymer Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the top of a Basic White panel. I embossed the panel using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight card base using Liquid Glue. I put the layered panel in my Paper Trimmer and lined up the score lines on the Misty Moonlight panel and scored the Basic White panel. I carefully folded the card base in half on the score lines. Adhere the panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the scored panel of Moody Mauve using Liquid Gue. I put the layered panel in my Paper Trimmer and lined up the score lines on the Moody Mauve panel and scored the DSP panel. I carefully folded the panel in half on the score lines. I folded the 2 sides back on the side score lines and adhered it to the card base, lining up the center score line on the layered panel with the score line on the card base, using Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Take the 2 1″ X 1″ scored pieces and fold them in half. Adhere them to the DSP lining up the folded edged with the score line of the DSP using Tear & Tape. Cut the Misty Moonlight panel using the 3rd largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Emboss the circle using the Snowflake Sky EF. Adhere the die cut circle to the 2 folded pieces using Tear & Tape. Using the Sophisticated Sled Dies, cut the skates from a panel of Basic White, laces from a panel of Moody Mauve and the blades from a panel of Silver Foil paper. Adhere the blades to the bottom of the skates using Liquid Glue. Insert the laces to the skates and add a couple Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back to hold them in place. Adhered a piece of 2023-2025 In-Color Jute Trim to the back of the skates using Glue Dots. Tie a bow with another piece on the top. Adhere the skates to the embossed circle. Adhere the panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the Basic White panel. Fold the ends on the score lines. Using a Bone Folder, curve the back of the layered panel. Adhered the layered panel to the bottom of the card base using Tear & Tape.
Here is a top view of how it should look.
On the back, stamp the sentiment from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Misty Moonlight Ink. Stamp the skates’ image from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set on the other panel of Basic White in Pebbled Path Ink. Color the image using Moody Mauve and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. Stamp the snowflake image from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, around the image and sentiment. Adhered the Basic White panels to Moody Mauve mat then to the back of the Misty Moonlight card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the skates’ image form the Sophisticated Sled stamp set in Pebbled path Ink on the envelope front. Color the image using Moody Mauve and Smoky Slate Stampin Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the envelope flap.
