Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be at work all day tomorrow, I’m hoping it’s a little busier than it’s been. Last night I went to a fundraiser for the Meghan Rose Bradley Foundation. It’s a fundraiser for pediatric brain cancer. It was ladies’ night out, and I went with everyone from the Hungry Hound Dog Boutique where I work part time. The theme was Princesses in Pajamas. The owner decided that there were going to be too many princesses and they needed a villain. I thought I’d share a picture of all of us that went. We had such a good time and won a prize for best group dressed up, and the fundraiser was a huge success.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video 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 links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments Bundle, Something Fancy Dies, Vellum Basics Paper and Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today. It will be much easier to watch the video to see how I folded the card since it’s hard to explain.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by placing the triangle template in the top left corner of my card and very lightly drew a line with a pencil. I scored on the pencil line back and forth a couple times to give it a good score. I folded the card base back and forth then opened the card and folded the center score line as a mountain fold and the 2 triangle score lines as valley folds.

I used this triangle for my template for the DSP and card base.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I placed the triangle template on my Vellum Basic Paper in the top left corner and again lightly drew a line with a pencil. I cut along the line using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the Vellum to the Highland Heather card front. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large, detailed marigold image from the Stampin’ Up! Marigold Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Orchid Oasis Ink. I stamped the large solid marigold image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Highland Heather Ink over the detailed image. I stamped the larger stem image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink and the details inside the leaves in Shaded Spruce Ink. I cut the images out using the Marigold Moments Dies. I adhered the stem to the flowers using Glue Dots. I adhered the flower along the diagonal card top using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using the White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack and adhered it to the stems with a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using the Something Fancy Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front and a Dragonfly Trinket.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside I cut a panel of Subtle DSP the same way that I did the Vellum, except I put the triangle template on the bottom left corner and turned it upside down. I drew a light line using my pencil and cut on the pencil line. I adhered the DSP to the top inside of the card front. For the DSP triangle I cut 1/2″ off the 2 3/4″ side. I adhered the triangle to the top inside triangle of the card base. I cut the Basic White panel the same as I did the Vellum panel. I cut 1/2″ off the 2 3/4″ side of the triangle piece and adhered it to the triangle on the card base bottom. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the smaller stem and leaf images from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink 3 times. I stamped the details on the leaves in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the small detail marigold image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Bermuda Bay, Orchid Oasis and Sweet Sorbet Inks on the Basic Whtie panel. I stamped the small solid marigold image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Pool Party, Highland Heather and Blushing Bride Inks over the detailed images. I cut all the images out using the Marigold Moments Dies. I adhered the stems to the flowers using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I arranged the flowers and leaves on the small white triangle that popped up when you open the card.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Marigold Moments stamp set in Highland Heather Ink on the cut panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the small stem image from the Marigold Moments stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Mint Macaron Ink and the details in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the detailed flower image in Orchid Oasis Ink and the solid flower image in Highland Heather Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

Stampin' Up! Marigold Moments Fun Fold 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small stem image from the Marigold Moments stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on the envelope front and the details in Shaded Spruce Ink. I stamped the detail flower image in Orchid Oasis Ink and the solid flower image in Highland Heather Ink. I adhered a panel of Subtle 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! Country Bouquet for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Did everyone have a nice Valentine’s Day? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #189a is Cozy Comfort and inspiration photo 189b is Vintage Hearts.  There are 2 photos this week and you get to pick which one inspires you. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Bundle, the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper and the Vellum Layering Designs Paper for my Clean and Layered card today. I was inspired by the hearts and colors from inspiration photo 189b.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 189.  How are you inspired by the photo, and which one inspires you more?

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the large heart image from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Photopolymer Stamp Set in Sweet Sorbet Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the stamped image to a Vellum Layering Designs Paper card front using Stampin’ Seal. I cut a strip of Country Floral Lane DSP using the Marigold Moments Dies. I adhered the scalloped strip just under the artwork using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Vellum Layering Designs card front to a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock using Stampin’ Seal under the artwork and along the top under the ribbon. I wrapped a piece of Burlap Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack, around the top of the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Crumb Cake card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink to the right wide of the strip. I stamped the small heart image from the Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the left side of the strip. I cut the small heart out using the Country Bouquet Punch. I cut the sentiment into a banner using the Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the small heart under the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few Matte Black Dots to the card front.

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I’ll be at the dog bakery today hopefully playing with the fur friends that stop in. It’s supposed to be a bit warmer here today, so maybe a lot will be out for walks and will stop in.
