Stampin’ Up!Front Flap & Gate Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to the HOP! Our theme today is fun folds – and there will be some extraordinary ones, I am certain. I have chosen a tried & true front flap fun fold for today, using the WinterlyTree Tops bundle, the
Christmas Labels bundle and Nests of Winter 12 x 12 DSP.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Front Flap Fun Fold with Winterly Tree Tops - card front

I’m going to be honest, I haven’t played with this set and I’ve had it for a bit. I… LOVE… IT… The pine frame is from Basic White card stock (3 5/8 x 5) and die cut with Winterly Tree Tops Dies. The birds are fussy cut (paper snips) from the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP and added with dimensionals. The background (stripes) is also from this DSP pack (3 7/8 x 5 1/8) and was layered on Cherry Cobbler (4 x 5 3/8), and adhered to the Basic Black card front. I added three Pecan Pie Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE). Let’s look at how this card opens… the front flap opens from the top to show the gatefold, below.

The layers are Cherry Cobbler (2 x 5 3/8 – cut 2) and a smaller Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP (1 7/8 x 5 1/4- cut 2) and adhere together and then to the Basic Black card baseThe sentiment panel is stamped on Basic White with Cherry Cobbler ink using the Christmas Labels stamp set then die cut with the coordinating Christmas Lablels Dies. Only the left side of the label was attached to the left ‘gate’.

Here is the inside…

Stampin' Up! Front Flap  & Gate Fold, inside

The inside… a panel of Basic White (3 7/8 x 5 1/8) with another fussy cut bird from the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP attached with liquid glue. This panel was added to Cherry Cobbler (4 x 5 1/4) then to the inside of the Basic Black card base. All opened out the card looks like this…

And the envelope I kept very simple… more of the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP on the flap & trimmed to fit, and a sentiment stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink from the Christmas Labels stamp set.

These two bundles and the DSP may be found in the Stampin’ Up! Sep-Dec 2024 Catalog. The card stock & adhesive, scissors, paper trimmer, bone folder are in the Stampin’ Up! 2024 Annual Catalog.

Stampin’ Up! AC Wildflower Suite Fun Fold for Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

It’s Thursday and you know what that means – a VERY FUN HOP! We have a color challenge today and I’ve chosen to use the Wildly Flowering DSP as my focus and the coordinating suite to highlight this fun fold card.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Inkin' Thursday Color Challenge
Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs Fun Fold card front

This is called a JOY FOLD card – and is two cards in one so to speak. The colors are mostly Wild Wheat, Mossy Meadow and Moody Mauve. This is just gorgeous Designer Series Paper – Wildly Flowering 12 x 12 DSP. And here’s how we put this together…

  • Build your card base first: Wild Wheat 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 scored @ 3
    • Add DSP layers: 4 x 5 1/4 (inside right panel) and 2 3/4 x 4 (inside flap – I embossed this panel in the Dashing Designs 3D EF) and another flower panel on the left front 2 3/4 x 4
    • On the inside front panel, die cut from Wild Wheat the hexagon using the Wildflower Designs Dies; add to panel.
    • Stamp this larger flower on a Basic White scrap in Memento ink using the Wildflower Designs stamp set. Color with Stampin’ Blends Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve and Mossy Meadow. Add to hexagon and embellish with Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots.
  • Create the ‘mini’ card: Crumb Cake 3 x 8 and scored @ 4.
    • Add to card base, centering it on the right card base panel
    • Add DSP to inside right mini card 2 3/4 x 4 and to mini card front 2 3/4 x 4 (embossed with Dashing Designs 3D EF)
    • Decorate mini card front: die cut from Basic White both the scalloped hexagon and the stamped hexagon using the Wildflower Designs Dies. Adhere the scalloped design directly to the mini card front. Stamp the remaining hexagon with Wildflower Designs stamps – the sentiment in Wild Wheat ink and the dots in Crumb Cake ink. Add to mini card front with dimensionals and embellish with Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots, part of this suite of products.
    • To the inside of the mini card… stamp the sentiment on a Basic White panel (2 3/4 x 4) in Crumb Cake ink using the Wildflower Designs stamp set. Add a stamped & die cut flower: stamped with Memento ink and colored with Moody Mauve Stampin’ Blends & die cut with Wildflower Designs Dies.
Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs Fun Fold.1
Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs fun fold.2

With the card complete… time to decorate the envelope… add another panel of Wildly Flowering DSP 2 1/4 x 6 to the flap and trim to fit. On the front, stamp another of the flowers from the Wildflower Designs stamp set in Memento ink and color with Stampin’ Blends Moody Mauve and Mossy Meadow.

The DSP is Take a Bow 6×6 DSP (page 39) from the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog that goes live Sep 4. And this wreath is from Sophisticated Sled from the ONLINE store. More items from the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini catalog are: the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder (page 31) to add texture to the large red panel in the background. and the ribbon is Real Red & White Baker’s Twine found on page 27. The embellishments are called Earth Tones Shimmer Gems and are found on page 31.

  • Card base – Garden Green 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
  • Real Red layer – 4 x 5 1/4 embossed with the Birch Wood 3D EF

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled card inside

For the inside of the card, Real Red is cut 4 x 5 1/4 and added to the card base. A basic White panel cut same size as the front piece (3 x 4 1/2) is stamped with a sentiment from Sophisticated Sled in Garden Green ink and a cardinal from Sophisticated Sled stamped in Memnto ink and colored w/ Stampin’ Blends Real Red.

Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled card & envelope

For the envelope, I used another panel of the Take a Bow 6×6 DSP to add to the flap, trimmed to fit, and stamped this same cardinal from Sophisticated Sled in Memento ink and colored it in Stampin’ Blends Real Red.

Stampin’ Up! Wildly Flowering Suite for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

It’s Thursday and time for a fabulous hop from. the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop Group! We have a color challenge today and I need thank you cards for some special folks. I created two for this color challenge using the Wildly Flowering Suite of products.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Krew Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! blog hop color challenge
Stampin' Up! Wildly Flowering Suite. card front

This is the 1st card, using several of the fabulous dies in the Wildflower Designs Dies, the dashing Designs 3D embossing Folder and the stunning Wildly Flowering DSP. Oh, and let’s not forget the embellishments: the Adhesive-Backed Adhesive Dots. Here’s what I did… Crumb Cake card base with a layer of Early Espresso on the front, then a layer of the Wildly Flowering DSP that I embossed with the Dashing Designs 3D embossing folder – adhered to the Early Espresso. Next some die cutting: Basic White for the scalloped outline, Misty Moonlight and finally the DSP for the center. I had the Basic White piece already die cut and saved, but did die cut the Misty Moonlight – this scallop die cuts the scallop piece and from it the center – the Misty Moonlight panel you see in the photo. I used Tear n’ Tape to adhere the blue to the Basic White on the back side and added dimensionals in strategic places to adhere to the card front, centering it- see photo. I then adhered the DSP panel in place & wow, it looks great!

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Design Dies adhering together pieces

I took another piece of Misty Moonlight, rubbed it with my embossing buddy from the Embossing Additions kit (item 159971), stamped the sentiment from Wildflower Designs stamp set in VersaMark ink, sprinkled with with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with the heat tool. I adhered this in place with liquid glue on the left side and mini dimensionals on the two right corners.I added five of the Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots – and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs card & envelope

I used the same floral stamp to and Early Espresso ink to decorate the Basic White panel for inside the card and the envelope. More of the same Wildly Flowering DSP covers the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs card front.card 2

This was fun – I die cut several hexagon shapes from the Wildly Flowering DSP, laying them in a row so as to have them ‘match’ as you look at the card. The matching is from left to right, not top to bottom. Here’s a photo of how I die cut these.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs Dies  from DSP strip

I should have taken a photo as I put the die cuts together on this card front, but didn’t 😦 Oh well. Adhere the DSP panels across the bottom, then add additional die cuts to fill in; trimming down and filling in the entire front. I stamped the flower in Memento ink and the sentiment in Moody Mauve ink – both stamps are from the Wildflower Designs stamp set. I used the Light Moody Mauve Stampin’ Blend to color the flower tips. I wrapped this gorgeous Natural Tones Linen Thread (in Garden Green) around the card front twice and tied a bow. I added the flower with mini dimensionals. The sentiment panel I punched with the Labeled with Love Punch and adhered it over the thread with dimensionals. Three Adhesive-Back Textured Dots were added near the sentiment panel.

Stampin' Up! card 2 of Wildly Flowering Suite Collection

On the inside of the card and the envelope, I stamped a different flower from Wildflower Designs stamp set in Memento ink and colored each with Stampin’ Blends Light Misty Moonlight and Light Old Olive.

These two card were a total CASE of cards shown in the Annual catalog page 40 – I just changed colors of thread, inks and DSP. I love these two cards and am excited to have them ready for those special notes I need to write. Handmade cards are simply the best! They share a bit of myself with each one made.

Stampin’ Up! Shaker Card with Fluffiest Friends for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hello , hello – it’s Thursday and time for another fun hop with the Inkin’ Krew! We have a theme challenge today – Critters – and I chose to use the Fluffiest Friends Bundle and coordinated it with the Friends for Life Bundle to make this cute shaker card.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Shaker Birthday card front

The DSP is from the 24-26 In Color 6×6 pack of papers and the color is Pretty In Pink. I cut it 4 x 5 1/4, then die cut this sweet heart shape using the Friends for Life Dies. While I had those at my fingertips, I also die cut the word ‘friend’ in Basic White and a background in Pretty in Pink. I adhered these two word ‘frames’ together and set them aside. I turned the DSP over, ran a Stampin’ Seal along the edges and teeny tiny dots of liquid glue to areas of the center of the heart, then laid a window sheet on top (3 3/4 x 5) – adhering these together. Using the Foam Adhesive Strips, I created a boarder around the heart, then also around the edge of the DSP, placed several of the pink Loose Frosted Dots in the center of the heart area, peeled the backing off the adhesive strips and attached a Basic White panel, creating the background to the shaker card. :O) Next I stamped this adorable fluffy rabbit from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set: Memento ink on a Basic White scrap about 2×2 and colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Smoky Slate, Light Pretty in Pink, Light Real Red for the cherry and Light Crumb Cake for the cupcake wrapper – and die cut it using the coordinating Fluffiest Friends Dies. I adhered it in place with dimensionals. I also added Wink of Stella to the cupcake icing. I attached the word friend with liquid glue. As a final touch for the front, I added three 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems – in Pretty in Pink of course. I added this completed front panel to a Thick Basic White card base 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends & Friends for Life birthday card inside

That thin piece of die cut heart from the front is a very narrow strip, but I added teeny tiny dabs of liquid glue to it and attached it to the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Pretty In Pink ink using the Friends for Life stamp set. I stamped another adorable ‘fluffy’ – a cat from Fluffiest Friends stamp set – in Memento ink on another Basic White scrap about 2 1/2 x 2 3/4. I did very little coloring on it: Stampin’ Blends Light Pretty in Pink for the ears, nose and flower and Crumb Cake on the flower pot., Light Old Olive for the leaf. I added a single yellow Loose Frosted Dot to the center of the flower. This was die cut with the coordinating Fluffiest Friends Die and added in place with liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends and Friends For Life Birthday card & envelope

For the envelope, another piece of the same 24-26 In Color 6×6 DSP adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit. On the envelope front… another adorable beast, this time colored with Stampin’ Blends Crumb Cake and Pretty In Pink. The balloon was also colored with Light Pretty in Pink and I added Wink of Stella to that as well. It gives a nice sparkle to the balloon!

I love a shaker card – they just add an element of fun for whomever receives it – and they are fun to make as well! These products may be found in the 24-25 Annual Catalog – except for the Loose Frosted Dots, they are an ONLINE only product. I’ll post links below so you can find them easily :O)

Stampin’ Up! Hearts & Hugs for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hello folks – it’s Thursday and we have a sketch challenge today. Because I needed a birthday card I pulled out the very cute & fun Hearts & Hugs bundle to create this card.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Hearts & Hugs card front

The creatures in this Hearts & Hugs bundle are just so incredibly C-U-T-E! I used Stampin’ Blends to color them after stamping on Basic White scraps with Memento ink: Gray Granite and Light Smoky Slate & the Color Lifter. For the ears/ cheeks, just a bit of Pretty in Pink. I used the Basic Black Marker to darken the noses. Once all colored I die cut them with the coordinating die from the Hearts & Hugs Dies. After coloring, I pulled the rest of the card together.

  • Card base: Smoky Slate 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
  • Layer the card front with Take To The Sky DSP 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
  • To meet the sketch challenge, I cut a piece of Basic White 3 x 4 and added another layer of DSP from Take To The Sky DSP 2 7/8 x 3 7/8. These were added to the card front with dimensionals
  • I put dimensionals on the back of the two hugging beasts (what are they?) and added them to the lower left corner.
  • Using the banner die from Hearts & Hugs Dies, I die cut a Blueberry Bushel tag & added it to the card front with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink – from Hearts & Hugs stamp set, trimmed it down and added it with dimensionals to the banner.
  • As a final touch, I added three 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Pebbled Path
Stampin' Up! Hearts & Hugs birthday card inside
  • For the inside of the card, I stamped another cute beast – is this a chipmonk?) on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 and colored him similarly to the two on the card front
    • stamp in Memento ink
    • color with Stampin’ Blends – Gray Granite, Light Smoky Slate, Color Lifter and bits of Pretty in Pink for the ears and cheekbones. The nose & eyes I used Basic Black Marker to darken.
  • I stamped the hearts in Pretty In Pink ink – again from the hearts & Hugs stamp set
Stampin' Up! Hearts & Hugs card & envelope
  • For the envelope… more of the Take To The Sky DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit.
  • Along the bottom of the envelope front I stamped the sentiment from Sweetly Scripted stamp set in Pebbled Path ink.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Color Challenge for the hop

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Beauty Th hop 7/25

This is one of those ‘ideas’ to save to use for just about any DSP. Notice how the DSP image goes across the page, so when it was cut, it was intentional to cut it so the image ‘flowed across’. I does depend how the card is opened. If it opend from the top, the DSP ‘image’ would be from top/ down. got it?

Basics:

  • Card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 (opens from side) [Summer Splash]
  • Layer: 3 3/4 x 4 1/4 [Pretty in Pink]
  • DSP layer: 3 1/2 x 3 3/4 cut into thirds so 1 1/4 x 3 1/2 [Unbounded Beauty DSP]

Instructions:

  • Add DSP to layer, wrap with ribbon & secure w/ glue dot at knot
  • Add this to card front w/ dimensionals
  • Create die cuts and slip under ribbon, adhering w/ liquid glue (die cuts are from Flowers of Beauty Dies & cut from Summer Splash and Berry Burst card stocks)
  • Stamp sentiment (Berry Burst ink using Unbounded Love stamp set); die cut (Unbounded Love Dies) and add with glue dot or dimensionals, depending on ribbon
  • Add embellishments (24-26 In Color Resin Dots Pretty In Pink)
Stampin' Up! Unbounded Beauty DSP card inside

Card inside:

  • Layer: 3 1/2 x 4 1/4
  • Basic White: 3 1/4 x 4

Products used:

  • Unbounded Beauty DSP
  • Unbounded Love Bundle
  • Flowers of Beauty Bundle
  • Frayed 3/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon
  • 24-26 In Color Resin Dots (Pretty in Pink)

  • Pretty in Pink card stock
  • Basic White card stock

Stampin' Up!

Envelope… more Unbounded Beauty DSP on the flap trimmed to fit; leaf from Flowers of Beauty stamped in Summer Splash full strength and then second generation.

And there you have it – all done! Change up the color of card stock, DSP, ribbon, die cuts and it becomes an entirely different card!

Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Designs for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hello Thursday! And that means another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today and I’ve chosen to work with the Wildflower Designs stamp set, the Labeled with Love Punch and Full of Life 6×6 DSP to create my card.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs card front

I began by punching these fun shapes using the Labeled with Love Punch and Basic White card stock. I used scraps but you could cut two pieces 2 1/2 x 4 1/2. I stamped these with two different flower designs – in Memento ink using Wildflower Designs stamp set. I colored these with Stampin’ Blends In Colors: Peach Pie, Pretty In Pink, Petunia Pop and Shy Shamrock. I then used the Summer Splash ink and the splotch stamp in the same Wildflower Designs stamp set, stamped it off once and then on the flower. I varied the placement of the stamping so it didn’t look too uniform. With the stamping and coloring completed, I cut a Full of Life 6×6 DSP 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, added two strips of Pretty in Pink card stock 1 x 4 1/8 with stampin’ Seal, then added the stamped flowers with dimensionals. I like to place my center panels first, then use equal spacing for the rest. I wrapped Black Bakers Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack around the card three times and tied a bow, securing it with a glue dot. I put dimesnionals on the DSP and adhered it to a Petunia Pop card base – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. My final touch for the card front was adding Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins in two colors.

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink using the Wildflower Designs stamp set. I added a 1/2 x 4 strip of the same DSP as the card front. I also had a length of the Black Baker’s Twine that I tied in a bow and added as an enhancement. This panel was adhered in place and the card was complete.

For the envelope – a bit of another panel of Full of Life 6×6 DSP on the flap adhered in place and trimmed to fit. I stamped another of the pretty flowers from Wildflower Designs stamp set on the DSP and yet another flower on the envelope front – both in Memento ink. Again, I used the splotch stamp and Summer Splash ink to stamp over the flower in second generation ink. This is such a happy card – and I know to whom I’ll send it!

Stampin’ Up! Charming Duck Pond for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Today we have a theme challenge titled ‘birds’ and I have chosen to use the Charming Duck Pond bundle & it’s coordinating Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP – and made another front flap fun fold :O) For my birds – I chose to use these sweet ducks.

Oh my goodness – such a cute array of stamps and dies in this bundle. I especially like the dies! So let me explain how I did this card.

The card base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 in Pretty Peacock. I layered it with a panel of 4 x 5 1/4 Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP. I cut another piece of Pretty Peacock card stock 3 x 8 1/2 and scored it at 4 1/4. This was adhered to the card base front with the fold at the top and centered – this is the front flap fold. I decorated this first with another piece of Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP in the same pattern as the card front, cut 2 3/4 x 4 and adhered it in place. From a Basic White panel 4 x 3 3/4 I centered this stunning circle die that cuts & embosses the fun design. It has cattails and reeds and lily pads – perhaps you can see the embossing on the cattails from this die. I created another die cut with Granny Apple Green card stock 1 x 3 for additional lily pads – and a scrap of Pretty Peacock for one more lily pad – and a flower in Pretty in Pink card stock. I layered these in place with liquid glue. The additional reed and cattails were die cut from another piece of the Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP and adhered these also with liquid glue. I took yet another piece to showcase these adorable ducks & cut this 3 7/8 x 3 5/8 and adhered it to the back of the Basic White die cut. These I added to another piece of Pretty Peacock cut 4 1/8 x 3 7/8 and adhered this to the front flap. For a sentiment… I used the Labeled with Love Punch and Pretty Peacock to create the sentiment banner. I cleaned the piece with the embossing buddy then stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink, then sprinkled with embossing powder over it and heat set with the heat tool. I punched another banner from basic White and adhered it to the back, trimmed the one end so as not to cover mamma duck and adhered it in place with liquid glue. As a final touch I added three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins and the card front was complete.

For the inside I took a piece of basic White 2 3/4 x 4 and added a strip of Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP, then attached this to the inside of the flap. Done!

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond card & envelope back

The envelope back has a piece of Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP adhered & trimmed to fit. The envelope front is stamped with two images from Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Memento ink, then colored with other stamps in the set: the duck… beak & feet with Pretty in Pink ink, body in Gray Granite ink, tail feathers in Pretty Peacock ink; the frog… body in Granny Apple Green ink and the lily pad in Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends. What a fun set! Hope you enjoy this card.

Stampin’ Up! Fun Fold for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

We have a fun fold challenge for this Tuesday team blog hop and I’m using several of the new ONLINE EXCLUSIVE products from the Season of Green & Gold Suite Collection. Let’s take a peek.

Stampin' Up! Season of Green & Gold Easy Flap Fun Fold card front

This card is called a Front Flap Fun Fold.n I did a bit of die cutting using the Golden Greenery Dies and Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper (better known as SDSP) and the Graceful Greenery Vellum. The bells are die cut from the SDSP and the wonderful fronds from the vellum.

Card instructions:

  • Card base is Mossy Meadow 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
  • Layer a panel of SDSP (here I used the Season of Green & Gold SDSP, plaid pattern), attaching with adhesive.
  • Cut a 3 x 8 1/2 Mossy Meadow piece and score at 4 1/4: attach to center of card, with fold at top of card base.
  • Cut 2 panels of Basic White 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 & decorate
    • Front panel of Basic White
      • I cut two Garden Green fronds and one Old Olive frond from the Graceful Greenery Vellum and adhered to one of the Basic White panels, centering them at top
      • I die cut the single bells from the Season of Green & Gold SDSP, adhered them together then added them over the fronds with dimensionals
      • I added a double Linen Thread bow to the top of the bells with a glue dot.
      • Stamp the sentiment and ampersand sign in Cherry Cobbler ink using the Greetings of the Season stamp set (this also comes as a bundle – with dies – but I did not use those for this card)
      • Embellish with several Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems
      • Adhere this panel to the folded Mossy Meadow
    • Inside panel of Basic White
      • Stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink using the Greetings of the Season stamp set
      • Stamp the fronds detail stamp in stamped off once Mossy Meadow ink
      • Stamp the fronds full stamp in stamped off twice Mossy Meadow ink
      • Add panel to inside of flap card panel – and done!
Stampin' Up!

Now for the envelope… cover the flap in a piece of the Season of Green & Gold SDSP and trim to fit. On the envelope front, stamp a different detail front in stamped off once Old Olive ink. Stamp the full frond in stamped off twice Old Olive ink – and this card is ready for that Christmas card pile.
