Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. Are you getting ready for the weekend? I’ve got a full weekend coming up.

Today’s card was the last one we made at our quarterly meeting, and it was designed and presented by my team member Theresa Austin from MI. I did make a couple changes to mine from her original, but it’s very similar. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Magic & Hope Cling Stamp Set, Elegant Pines Designer Series Paper and Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder for my card.

Adhere the scored & folded Pretty Peacock card base to the panel of Pecan Pie with Liquid glue. Adhere one of the panels of Elegant Pines DSP to the front of the card base with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the other panel of Elegant Pines DSP to the 3rd section of the accordion fold with Stampin’ Seal.

Cut the panel of Basic White using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. Stamp the sentiment from the Magic & Hope stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the right side of the panel. Stamp the pine bough image from the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines Photopolymer Stamp Set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the left side of the die cut. Stamp the pinecones image from the Delicate Pines stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the boughs. Emboss the panel of Pecan Pie using the Birch Wood EF. Adhere the embossed panel to the front of the small Pretty Peacock card front.

From the panel of Pretty Peacock cut 2 or 3 of the large pine boughs using the Delicate Pines Dies. Cut the boughs in half using snips. Adhere the sentiment to the front of the small card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Insert the pine boughs under the sentiment using Glue Dots.

Stamp the sentiment from the Delicate Pines stamp set in pretty Peacock Ink on the panel of Basic White. Stamp the bough image from the Delicate Pines stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the side of the panel. Stamp the pinecones image from the Delicate Pines stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the boughs. Adhere the Basic White panel to the back of the small card base with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the small card base to the large card base with Tear & Tape by adhering the front first, closing the 2 card bases together and adhere the back. Adhere the panel of Elegant Pines DSP to the back of the Pretty Peacock card base with Stampin’ Seal. Curve the sentiments stamp from the Delicate Pines stamp set on the block and stamp it on the Basic White panel in Pretty Peacock Ink. Stamp the bough and pine images in the top corners of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to the back panel, making sure it is behind the small card base when closed.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the pine bough image from the Delicate Pines stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the envelope front and the pinecones image in Pecan Pie. Adhere a panel of Elegant Pines 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!!
