Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. We arrived safely yesterday, and our first day was wonderful. It’s a little chilly here in GA, but it’s supposed to get a little warmer each day. We all got set up and started passing out our little gifts and starting on our card swaps. Dinner last night was nothing short of amazing. James really knows how to cook up the best meals. After dinner we all just sat around the table for a few hours talking, laughing, more talking and much, much more laughing. This is such an awesome group of ladies I’m with. I’ll be sharing pictures when I can throughout the weekend.
I have a gate fold fun fold card for you today using a gorgeous bundle that I absolutely love. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Bundle along with the Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Cling Stamp Set, Gold Foil Paper and Online Exclusive Silver & Gold Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper for my card today.
I started by cutting and prepping all the components before actually putting the card together. Using the Stars At Night Hybrid Embossing Folder and Stars At Nigh Dies, I cut the largest and smallest stars from a panel of Gold Foil. I cut the 2nd largest star from a panel of Gold Adhesive Back Glimmer Paper and the 2nd smallest star from a panel of Very Vanilla. Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, I cut the 2nd largest circle from a panel of Very Vanilla and Gold Foil paper. I cut the center of the Very Vanilla circle using the Stars At Night Dies. I adhered the Very Vanilla circle to the Gold Foil circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a strip of Very Vanilla I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool.
I adhered 2 panels of Shining Brightly DSP to Gold Foil mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the 2 layered panels to each side of the Very Vanilla Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I adhered the Gold Glimmer star to the large Gold Foil star. I adhered the Very Vanilla star to the Gold Glimmer star using a Glue Dot. I adhered the small Gold Foil star to the Very Vanilla star using a Glue Dot. I adhered the layered star to the layered circle die cut using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a Night of Navy belly band around the card and adhered it together using Tear & Tape. I removed the belly band and stamped the multi star image from the Stars At Night stamp set in Versamark Ink on both sides of the belly band. I sprinkled the images with Gold Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. I put the belly band back on the card and adhered the layered star in the center using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment across the star on the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For the inside, I adhered a panel of Shining Brightly DSP to a Gold Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the center of the inside card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Stars At Night stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the center of the DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from Stars At Night stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink. On the other panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink. I stamped the multi star image from the Stars At Night stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on both panels. I adhered the panels to the inside of the card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the star image from the Stars At Night stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Shining Brightly DSP to the envelpe flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

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:
- 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….
- 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.
