Good Friday afternoon my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I’m a little late today, but better late than never. We are 2 days away from Christmas, are you all ready. I have a couple dinner/dessert preps to take care of later today. If I haven’t bought it yet, it’s not getting bought. Between my husband and daughter, they are taking card of most of the wrapping. I’m having a lot of trouble with my shoulder again and I can’t lift my arm at all. 3rd time the rotator cuff has torn, and they don’t know if they can fix it yet. Luckily that doesn’t affect my card making LOL. Making cards I only really move the bottom of my arm and don’t really have to do much lifting and if I do that’s what my left arm is for.
I have a super simple fun fold today using products from the Annual Catalog and a set coming in the January – April 2023 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Decorative Borders Photopolymer Stamp Set (available Jan 5, 2023) and the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Design A Daydream Host Designer Series Paper for my card today.
I started by adhering a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the front panel of the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the 3rd largest Scallop Contours Dies. I stamped the flower image from the Decorative Borders stamp set along the bottom of the die cut panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the Happy from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink. I stamped the birthday sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink over the Happy. I colored the flower image using my Calypso Coral, Mint Macaron and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers.
I adhered the die cut panel to the left side of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only of the left side of the panel. I added a few Iridescent Pastel Gems (available Jan 5, 2023) to the card front.
On the inside, I adhered a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the right side of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Calypso Coral Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flower image from the Decorative Borders stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink on an angle. I colored the image using my Calypso Coral, Mint Macaron & So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base using Stampin’ Seal.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the border flower image from the Decorative Borders stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it the same as for the card. I adhered a panel of Design A Daydream DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and the sneak peek of the set coming in the January – April 2023 Mini Catalog. I hope you will give this card a try. Happy Stamping!!

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS: 7PTW7A3H
Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog or the July – December 2022 Mini Catalog! Unfortunately packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials. Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.
Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me and you’ll get my rewards!
Happy Stamping, Karen

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well. I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.
Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater. And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!
But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:
- You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly! OR….
- If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can! Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs! Designer Series Paper Shares Do Not earn my Creative Stamping Designs Rewards.
