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. My daughter and I took a day trip on Wednesday and went to Peddlers Village in PA. They have some of the most unique little shops. We had a beautiful day for it too. My daughter wanted to go because there was a pop-op Gilmor Girls Luke’s Diner. We went there to have lunch and get a couple drinks that were names after the Gilmor Girls. There was also a scarecrow contest going on, which was a lot of fun to see. I can’t wait to go again around Christmas.

Today’s card is a design that we made at our annual retreat last month. This was one that my friend and roommate Judi had designed. On the retreat we made a fall card, and I decided to make it into a holiday card.  If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Crew Bundle, Winter Dreams Specialty Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card.

Adhere the binder section of the card together between the 2 1/8″ & 3 3/8″ score lines. Adhere the panels of Winter Dreams DSP to the Barely Blush card base.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the snowman image from the Christmas Crew stamp set in Secret Sea Ink. Stamp the sentiment from the Christmas Crew stamp set inside the sign in Secret Sea Ink. Color the image with Barely Blush, Cloud Cover, Crumb Cake, Timid Tiger and Secret Sea Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using the Christmas Crew Dies, cut the snowman image and the trees from a panel of Peaceful Pine. Cut a panel of Barely Blush using the largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Stamp the snow drift image from the Christmas Crew stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the bottom of the die cut Barely Blush panel. Stamp the snow image from the Christmas Crew stamps set in Barely Blush Ink around the top of the panel. Adhere the snowman image with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the Barely Blush panel. Adhere the die cut trees behind the snowman with Glue Dots. Adhere the layered panel to the center of the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Christmas Crew stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the snow image from Christmas Crew stamp set in Barely Blush Ink around the sentiment. Adhere a panel of Winter Dreams DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the die cut trees to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Barely Blush card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the sentiment from Christmas Crew stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the snowflake image from Christmas Crew stamp set in Barely Blush Ink around the sentiment. Adhere a panel of Winter Dreams 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!!
