Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Can you believe that it’s the last day of April already? Another month that flew by. Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be working tomorrow in the office for the 1st of the month getting my bills out and I’ll be working all day on Sunday too.
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! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.
I started with a Smoky Slate card base and scored it at 4 1/4″ & 2 1/2″. On the front of the card base I made a little mark 1 1/2″ up from the bottom. I cut from the top of the 4 1/4″ score line to the 1 1/2″ mark on an angle. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I made a little mark 1 1/2″ up from the bottom right side. I cut from the top corner to the 1 1/2″ mark on an angle. I cut the Basic White panel in half at 2″.
On the taller piece of the Basic White cardstock I stamped the medium tulip image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Highland Heather Ink. I stamped the stems and leaf images from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to the Smoky Slate card base using Stampin’ Seal.
On the smaller panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the smallest tulip image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink. I stamped the stem and leaf images from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the small panel to the Smoky Slate card base using Stampin’ Seal.
I cut a butterfly from a scrap of Highland Heather cardstock using the new Meadow Dies (available May 4th) and adhered it to the small panel, hanging off, using Glue Dots.
On the inside panel I stamped the medium tulip from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink twice on the right side of the panel. I stamped the stem and leaf images in Granny Apple Green Ink. On the scrap piece of Basic White cardstock I had cut off the panel, I stamped the large tulip from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Highland Heather Ink and punched it out using the Tulip Builder Punch. I stamp the leaf image a couple times in Granny Apple Green Ink on the same panel and punched them out using the Tulip Builder Punch. I adhered the large tulip to the stamped stem using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered a couple of the leaves to the stamped stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Highland Heather mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base using Stampin’ Seal. I cut the smaller butterfly from the Meadow Dies from a scrap of Balmy Blue cardstock and adhered it to the Basic White panel using Glue Dots. I added a few Opal Rounds by the tulips.
To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the medium tulip from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on the envelope front and the small tulip in Highland Heather Ink. I stamped the stems and leaves in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered a panel of the Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.
