Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? What’s everyone doing for the weekend? As of now, I’m only working on Sunday, so I’m not sure what I’m doing Saturday yet. I have a lot of gardening to do, I just need to get the energy to start.
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’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Petals Bundle for my Fun Fold card today.
I started with an 8″ X 8″ panel of So Succulent cardstock for my card base. I scored it at 4″ then turned it and scored at 4″ again. I then cut from the center down one side only. On the top portion that was not cut I scored from the outside scored edges to the center top scored edge for the angle fold. Using my Bone Folder I gave it a good crease on all the score lines. The 2 straight score lines, I folded in and the 2 angle score lines I folded out.
I cut a panel of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper in half to make 2 triangles for the outside folds. I adhered the 2 triangle pieces of DSP to the outside folded pieces using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I took a 3″ X 6″ piece of Soft Succulent cardstock and folded it in half. Using the 3rd largest scalloped circle from the Layering Circle Dies, I cut it out not putting the full circle on my paper, letting it hang over the folded edge about 1/4″ so that it would open up like a card. I folded the top of the scallop circle up and in half meeting the little scallops to make the easel. I cut another of the same size scallop circle from a piece of the Pansy Petals DSP and adhered it to the top section of the scallop circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the small circle from the Layering Circle Dies I cut a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock to make the easel stopper. Using my Pansy Dies, I cut the pansies pieces from a panel of Basic White cardstock, I cut the detailed pieces from a panel of Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I cut the solid leaves from a panel of So Succulent cardstock and the detailed leaves from a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock. I adhered the Blackberry Bliss pieces to the Basic White flower pieces using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered the flower pieces together using Glue Dots. I adhered the detailed Evening Evergreen pieces to the Soft Succulent leaves using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered them to the back of the flower using Glue Dots. I added one of the Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to the center of the flower. I adhered the pansy to the DSP scalloped circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals making sure to place it so the card could close properly. I stamped the detailed pansy images from the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the Basic White panel. I stamped the flower center in Daffodil Delight Ink. I stamped the leaf image in Soft Succulent Ink and the detailed leaf image over the solid image in Evening Evergreen Ink. I cut the images out using my Pansy Dies. I adhered the stamped pansy to the small circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered a panel of Evening Evergreen to the right bottom panel of the card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a Square Vellum Doilie to the Evening Evergreen panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue just in the center. I adhered the easel piece to the center of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the easel stop piece in front of the easel piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added one of the adorable Bumblebee Trinkets by my pansy using a Glue Dot.
On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set in the center of the panel in Blackberry Bliss. I stamped the 2nd sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Strong & Beautiful Cling Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss Ink below the 1st. I stamped the detail images of the pansy from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the card base, under the easel panel, using Stampin’ Seal.
The card folds up to a 4″ X 4″ square to fit into our Basic White Medium Envelope.
To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the detailed pansy image from the Pansy Patch stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Pansy Petal DSP to the envelope flap.
