Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans yet for the weekend? I’ll be at work tomorrow and Sunday this weekend.

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.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Cling Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Trimming The Tree Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set, Lights Aglow 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Very Best Trio Punch for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding the Evening Evergreen card base at 4 1/4″ & 8 1/2″. I adhered a thin strip of the Lights Aglow DSP to a Brushed Metallic mat. I adhered the layered panel to the side Evening Evergreen card front panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered a panel of Lights Aglow DSP to a Brushed Metallic mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I set the card base aside.

I scored and folded the small Very Vanilla Thick card base at 3 1/2″. I adhered a panel of Lights Aglow DSP to a Brushed Metallic mat. I adhered the Vanilla & Gold 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon to the small card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the front of the small card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I took a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock and cut the 4 corners using the Very Best Trio Punch. I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Versamark Ink on the punched panel. I sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder from the Metallic Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the sentiment to the small card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Festive Pearls to the card front.

On the inside of the small card base, I adhered a panel of Lights Aglow DSP to the right inside panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the left inside panel. I stamped the small poinsettia from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the top corner of the panel. I adhered the small card base to the narrow card front panel using Tear & Tape.

On the inside, I stamped the tree image from the Trimming the Tree stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the bottom of one of the Very Vanilla panels. I stamped the detail tree image from Trimming The Tree stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink over the larger tree image. I stamped the star on top of the tree in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the other Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the pine bough image from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the top of the 2 panels. I adhered the 2 Very Vanilla panels to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base. I closed the card and wrapped the ribbon around the card and tied a knot.

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the poinsettia from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the pine boughs and flower center in Soft Succulent Ink. I adhered a panel of Lights Aglow DSP to the envelope flap.
