Good Friday the 13th morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Are you ready for the weekend? I’ve got a busy one coming up. I hope you are starting to make plans for the weekend.

Today’s card is one that we made on Tuesday night at our Stamping Studio during mystery stamping. All of our cards were similar, but also different. Jaimie gave us cardstock and DSP measurements and talked us through assembling the cards. I turned my card because I like the recipient to be able to stand the card up. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Naughty & Nice Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Take A Bow 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Labeled with Love Dies and Stampin’ Up! Christmas Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Start by scoring the Granny Apple Green card base at 2 1/8″ on either side. Cut 1 of the 4″ X 4″ panels of Basic White in half at 2″.

Adhere the 4 panels of Take A Bow DSP to the 2 Basic White mats. Adhere the 2 layered panels to the Granny Apple Green card base using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the outlined frame image from the Naughty & Nice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the sentiment from the Naughty & Nice stamp set inside the frame in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the hat & elf feet images from the Naughty & Nice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink above and below the sentiment. Color the images using Granny Apple Green and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the image out using the Labeled with Love Dies. Adhere the image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left half of the image. Add an Iridescent Faceted Gem to the sentiment.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Christmas Labels stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the bow image from the Naughty & Nice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. Color the bow using Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere 2 strips of the Take a Bow DSP to either side of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Granny Apple Green card base.

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the bow image from the Naughty & Nice stamp set on the top of the envelope front in tuxedo Black Ink. Color the image using real red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a strip of Take A Bow DSP to the bottom of the envelope front and a panel 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!!
