Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

And my card for today is a slimline card and sort of a fun fold. I was inspired by team mate Jaimie B. I loved the fold, it was a win-win kind of card that could be used for MANY occasions. For today’s challenge, I used it as a fall “appreciate you” kind of card. At the end of this post, because I really like the fold & the slim line, I will share three more that I created. As I mentioned already, this card can be used for just about anything ~ up & down or sideways. Here’s the card for the hop. And… I’m entering this card in the Just Us Girls challenge.

Slimline Gorgeous Leaves + Love of Leaves ~ Fun Fold

What do you think? Like? I LOVE it! I like the fold, I like the leaves, I like the DSP on this card. And the layers are fun, simple and yet, they add a really nice element to the card.

Basic elements of this card:

Early Espresso card stock, cut 7 1’2 x 8 1’2, scored on the short side at 1 3/4 & 5 1/4
Create layers:
- Basic White or layer 1: 1 5/8 x 8 3/8; 2 x 8 3/8; overlay ~ 3 1/4 x 5 3/8
- DSP – here I used Bloom Where You’re Planted 12 x 12 DSP: 1 1/2 x 8 1/4; 2 x 8 1/4
- Adhere these together & attach to appropriate panel of card base.
Overlay: Real Red card stock 2 1/4 x 5 1/2 + Basic White 2 1/8 x 5 3/8 (emboss the Basic White piece – for this card I used Bark 3D Embossing Folder.
- Adhere embossed Basic White panel to the Real Red piece then decorate

To decorate the Overlay:

On a Basic White piece, with Blending Brushes & Real Red ink, Old Olive ink and Early Espresso ink, color a Basic White piece.
Die cut this colored panel with the Intricate Leaves Dies., then color again using the same color inks and the Blending Brushes. It might be necessary to add Early Espresso ink at the edges ~ I did. Die cut with the Intricate Leaves Dies.
Stamp the smaller Maple leaf in Old Olive ink, second generation. With a blend Brush, add Real Red ink. Die cut with the Intricate Leaves dies.
Die cut the longer leaf from Brushed metallic card stock.
Run the Basic White panel for the Overlay through the Bark 3D Embossing Folder. Adhere to the Real Red panel.
Add leaves to this panel with liquid glue and the middle leaf on dimensionals.
Add the Overlay to the narrow panel of the card with Stampin’ Seal on only the left side of the overlay. Center on panel

Slimline Fun Fold

For the inside…Stamp the sentiment in Real Red ink using the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set on the Basic White panel (3 1/8 x 8 1/4). Stamp the fun decoration at the bottom in Old Olive ink and color with Old Olive and Cinnamon Cider Stampin’ Blends. Run panel through the cut & emboss machine with the Stitched Leaves Dies (coordinates with Love of Leaves stamp set). Adhere to a Real Red panel 3 1/4 x 8 3/8. Adhere to the center inside panel & voila!

Slimline Fun Fold, inside

Love, love, love. Hope you do as well :O) Here are three additional cards that I created using this same layout. I used one as a sideways card, yes, intentionally! Take a peek.
