Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you all ready for the weekend? Does anyone have any plans yet? I have off tomorrow for our Virtual OnStage @ Home event. So, I’ll be sitting in front of my computer from 11am-5pm.

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 is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Suite, Radiating Stitches Dies and Garden Meadow Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. For the main front panel, I scored and folded a panel of Basic White Thick cardstock at 1/2″ & 1″ on either side. I cut the center of the panel out using the arch from the Garden Meadow Dies. I then embossed the panel using the Snowflake Sky EF.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Basic White, I cut 3 sets of the snowbanks using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. On the panel of Basic White, I stamped the bunny image from the Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh Photopolymer Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I cut the image out using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. I cut 2 trees from a panel of Early Espresso using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. I adhered one of the trees to the outside of the card front using a Glue Dot. I adhered the other tree behind the arch to the inside of the panel. I adhered the snowbank dies to the bottom of the Basic White card front panel using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals, off centering them to give some dimension to the snow. I adhered the bunny between the snow using a Glue Dot. I adhered the card front to the Misty Moonlight card base using Tear & Tape, making sure to line up the sides evenly.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Misty Moonlight, I stamped the sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the larger circle from the Radiating Stitches Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a snowflake from the Adhesive-Backed Snowflake Assortment to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered 2 strips of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

Stampin' Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the bunny and snowbank image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink next to the trees. I adhered a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the envelope flap.

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:

  1. 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….
  2. 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.

Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you are ready for the weekend. I’ll be at work all day tomorrow and last I saw it’s supposed to be a rainy one here in NJ.

I wasn’t able to do a YouTube live this week. My card is one we did at our monthly Stamping Studio on Tuesday night. I was asked to do the Mystery Stamping for this month, so I had everyone make the card that I did for my live last Wednesday. If you’re interested in joining our group, contact me and I can talk to you about joining. Now is the perfect time. If you’d like to watch my video from last week and stamp along, the measurements are below, just above the supply list, and you can Click Here for my YouTube live video. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bay Window Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh Photopolymer Stamp Set and One Horse Open Sleigh 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bay Window Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a 4″ X 5″ panel of the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP. To get this, I cut 2″ off the bottom of a 6″ X 6″ panel. I then cut 1″ off the side, depending on what part of the scenery I wanted. I first cut 3/4″ off each side, then 1″ off each side and that left me with a 1 1/2″ panel. I adhered each of the panels to coordinating Pool Party mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bay Window Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I folded the Lost Lagoon card base in half at the 5 1/2″ score line and adhered the left side of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to make a book fold card. The 1/4″ score line is a valley fold, the 1 1/2″ & 3 1/4″ are mountain folds and the 4 1/2″ is a valley fold, where it’s adhered. I adhered the layered DSP panels to the card base in order of the scene, except the last (right side) 3/4″ matted panel, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Lost Lagoon, I stamped the sentiment from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using Paper Snips.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bay Window Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the sentiment to the center panel of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the right half only. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front. I opened the card base and adhered the last 3/4″ layered DSP panel to the inside right using Stampin’ Dimensionals, making sure not to put them on the left side of the panel so the 1/4″ of the card front could slip under.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bay Window Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set on the panel of Basic White in Lost Lagoon Ink. I adhered 2 – 1/4″ panels of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP, that I had cut off the full panel at the beginning, on either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bay Window Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pine tree image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the envelope front. I colored the trunk with my Pecan Pie Stampin Write Marker. I adhered a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I hope you are ready for the weekend and hopefully some of you have an extra-long one. I’ll be working all day tomorrow,1st of the month and I need to get the bills done and mailed out. With any luck I’ll be done by 2 and have the rest of the day for myself.

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 along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bridge Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Suite Collection for my fun fold card today. This suite of products will be available as an Online Exclusive starting July 6th.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bridge Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring and folding the Night of Navy card base as stated below. I adhered the 4 – 1 1/8″ X 4″ panels of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the 4 coordinating Petal Pink mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panels to the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the 2 1/2″ X 4″ panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the Petal Pink mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the center of the card base. I adhered the 1″ X 5 1/4″ panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the Petal Pink mat. I adhered the layered panel to the panel of Misty Moonlight using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bridge Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the horse & sleigh image from the Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using boho Blue, Crumb Cake, Ivory, Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image using the Horse & Sleigh Dies. Using the Horse & Sleigh Dies, I cut the runners and swish die from a panel of Wild Wheat, and I cut a tree from a panel of Crumb Cake. I adhered the runners and swish to the sleigh using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the tree to the bridge section of the card using a Glue Dot. I adhered the horse & sleigh to the bridge section using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the bridge to the card base using Tear & Tape.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bridge Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment form the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Glue Dots. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bridge Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the back panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the pine tree image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the side of the panel. I colored the tree trunk using the Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blend Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the back of the Night of Navy card base.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh Bridge Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pine tree image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front. I colored the tree trunk with Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Marker. I adhered a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the envelope flap.

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   MHTQEVEX

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 2023-2024 Annual 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:

  1. 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….
  2. 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.
