Stampin’ Up! Trimming The Tree for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. By the time you read this I should be in flight to Jacksonville, Florida for our OnStage event. To say that I’m excited doesn’t even touch what I’m feeling. This is the first time we’re all able to get together for an event since the beginning of Covid. I’m so looking forward to meeting up with my team members for dinners, laughs and talking. I also can’t wait to share things with all of you, so stay tuned.

Today I made a quick Z-Fold card for you using a set from the Annual Catalog. This is another one of my go-to folds when I want that card with the extra WOW factor. I just love the tree image from this set. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Z Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Trimming The Tree Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Santa Express Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Z Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 2 panels of Santa Express DSP to Basic White mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the smaller layered panel to the front of the Shaded Spruce card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the tree image from the Trimming The Tree stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink. I stamped the detailed tree image from Trimming The Tree stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I cut the image out using the Scalloped Contours Dies. On the top of the die cut panel, I stamped the sentiment from Trimming The Tree stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left half of the panel. I added Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the tree.

I adhered the 2nd layered panel to the back inside of the Shaded Spruce card base.

Stampin' Up! Trimming The Tree Z Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Trimming The Tree stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I adhered a strip of Santa Express DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the Shaded Spruce card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tree image from the Trimming The Tree stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Santa Express DSP to the envelope flap.

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It’s a beautiful one here in NJ. I’ll be at work all day today at the dog bakery and I’m hoping since it’s such a nice weekend we will get flooded with puppies to pet and give treats to.

Today’s card, believe it or not, is a very quick one minus all the fussy cutting LOL. Here’s my card for today.
