Stampin’ Up! 2, 4, 6, 8 card with Most Adored SDSP, Plus Flight & Airy DSP

Posted on January 10, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello folks – it’s midweek. We had quite a storm last night… lots and lots of heavy rain and very strong wind. We kept flashlights with us for the evening and night.

I’ve a pretty feminine card for you today using some of the FREE products from the Jan-Feb Sale-a-Bration catalog. Most Adored SDSP has gold and white on one side and color or pattern on the other side. I chose to work with this small pattern of leaves & flowers in gold.

Stampin' Up! 2, 4, 6, 8 card w/ Most Adored SDSP

The reason the card is called a 2, 4, 6, 8 card is because those are the score lines on a 5 1/2 x 12 card piece. Burnish those score lines and fold accordion style. With each fold, adhere the panels together so that only the gold and white side shows when completed.

Stampin' Up! 2, 4, 6, 8 card - scored & burnished

Stampin' Up! 2, 4, 6, 8 card glue step 1

Stampin' Up! 2, 4, 6, 8 card glue step 2

With panels glued in place, use a Blending Brush and color ink of choice (here I used Garden Green ink), blend color onto the Designer Series Paper. Cover a good portion of each side. Once finished with blending, buff gently with a dry cloth or paper towel to remove ink from the gold. Holding the piece closed, adhere to a card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 – Boho Blue for this card. To decorate the card I used three sizes of circles: the Deckled Circles Dies (Basic White on card front & on the sentiment panel inside + the center panel which is a smaller Deckled Circle Die), the 2 3/8 circle punch – an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE – (Boho Blue card stock on the card front), and the Stylish Shapes Dies (this was for the bird). The bird is die cut from the Flight & Airy DSP – also a FREE Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. I adhered the largest of the Basic White circles on the card front, adhering one side only. I added the length of ribbon – Grosgrain Ribbon in Pool Party as shown with Stampin’ Seal+. I adhered the two top circles together, then adhered them over the ribbon with dimensionals. I added three Blooming Pearls in Garden Green.

Stampin' Up! 2, 4, 6, 8 card center panel

For the center circle, I stamped the sentiment from Softly Sophisticated stamp set – another FREE item from the Sale-a-Bration catalog – in Boho Blue ink, then stamped the leaves from the same Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Garden Green ink. I used the Blending Brush and Garden Green ink to add color to the edge of the circle; adhered this in place using the front circle as my guide for placement. Here I added three Blooming Pearls, this time in gold.

For the inside back panel… I stamped the sentiment from Stippled Roses stamp set – this is from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog – in Boho Blue ink. Then I overstamped with another leaf stamp from Softly Sophisticated stamp set in Garden Green ink and the flowers in Petal Pink ink – each stamped off first. Again, I added three Blooming Pearls in Garden Green. And the card was complete. Super easy and super cute.

For the envelope, I added more of the same Most Adored SDSP to the flap and with a Blending Brush and Garden Green ink, lightly colored it. I used Post-it notes to shield the front of the envelope so I didn’t get green ink all over it!. Again, buff the DSP with a soft cloth or paper towel. I fussy cut this sweet bird from the Flight & Airy DSP and adhered it with liquid glue for the envelope front. Love this card!!! And I must make another… :O)

Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Birthday

Posted on January 1, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy Happy 2024!!! Here we are in a new year. Did you make or are you in the process of making resolutions? I was talking with someone the other day and the topic was really about facing a topic and asking ourselves, ‘why are we afraid of it’ (whatever that is?)” And how, if we break it down, take it apart, it’s easier to face or do. First we name it, then ask the question, then break it down. The unknown can be so hard to face. Gosh, I got all philosophical… go figure… enuf of that. Let’s play with paper & create.

I began by stamping this beautiful rose bouquet in Basic Gray ink from Stippled Roses stamp set and coloring it with Stampin’ Blends: Light Calypso Coral, Light Sweet Sorbet and Old Olive for the leaves. I die cut it with the coordinating Stippled Roses Dies. Next decision was what background…. and I really like this Pebbled Path pattern in the Softly Stippled DSP. Now what else to do??? I got out my Vellum Basic SDSP and die cut several (well, three) leaves using the Stippled Roses Dies. The pattern doesn’t show so much, but the vellum leaves are attached to the back of the rose bouquet with Stampin’ Seal.. I added dimensionals and attached it to the Softly Stippled DSP panel. I wanted a bit of accent and Old Olive fit that need and all was adhered to the Pebbled Path card base. The sentiment is also from Stippled Roses and stamped on a Basic White strip with Pebbled Path ink. I trimmed ther ends, added mini dimensionals to the end and a bit of glue to the center area and attached it over the rose bouquet. I added three 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Pebbled Path.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses birthday, inside

For the inside, I stamped the single rose with leaves in Pebbled Path ink – also from the Stippled Roses stamp set – on the Basic White panel; adhered this to Old Olive card stock slightly larger and into the card base.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses birthday card & envelope

For the envelope – this same single rose with leaves was stamped on the envelope front and another piece of the Softly Stippled DSP was adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit. Done. I really likje the background on this card and how it softens the colors of the bouquet – and the vellum leaves too. Hope you like it as well.

The Softly Stippled DSP can be found on page 8 of the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-bration Catalog – which means it is a FREE item with a $50 purchase. The Stippled Roses Bundle can be found in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog on page 64. All other items used to make this card are in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. If you do not have a demonstrator and needs supplies, catalogs, inspiration – reach out to me. I would like to serve your needs.

Stampin’ Up! Flight & Airy Birthday Card

Posted on December 29, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning! Gosh, the 29th of December…. where has the year gone? I’m sharing a new DSP that will be available come Jan 4, 2024 called Flight & Airy 12 x 12 DSP and it is FREE with a $50 order (before taxes & shipping). It is so sweet with birds and delicate branches and soft bright colors. Here’s the card…

Such a sweet bird! I began by die cutting the Flight & Airy DSP with the third from smallest Countryside Corners Dies, punched a couple of leaves from Vellum using the Bough Punch.I adhered these to the back of the DSP with Stampin’ Seal. I also looked at the backs of the Flight & Airy DSP for my background paper & chose this pretty Pecan Pie piece, adhered it to a Pecan Pie card base. I put dimensionals on the die cut DSP piece and attached it to the card front. I stamped the sentiment using another new stamp set from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog called Stippled Roses stamp set (it has coordinating dies!) and Pecan Pie ink. I adhered the stamped piece to another strip of Pecan Pie, put dimensionals on it and attached it under the focal point. The last touch was adding Blooming Pearls (3) in Garden Green – and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Flight & Airy Birthday Card, inside

For the inside, I fussy cut one of the birds on a branch with leaves and attached it with liquid glue to the Basic White & Flight & Airy panel – and adhered all to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Flight & Airy Birthdsay card & envelope

I found a scrap with a wee bird peeking up and fussy cut that too and adhered it to the envelope front. More of the Flight & Airy DSP to the flap and done! Such a sweet card!

So I’ve mentioned the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-bration Catalog – and the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog – both going live Jan 4 2024.

Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Part 2 for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Posted on December 12, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Tuesday! We have an easy challenge for the hop today… “Celebrate” – and we can interpret that however we like. We have a couple of family birthdays this month so that’s what I’m using. And, while I used this same stamp set Sunday, I’m using a different animal today :O)

Stampin' Up 4 Panel fun fold Fluffiest Friends

Look at that sweet bunny holding a cup cake – is that cute or what?! Using the Fluffiest Friends stamp set, I stamped it in Memento Black ink and colored a bit of the ears, nose and feet pads in Stampin’ Blends Dark Petal Pink. I die cut him with the coordinating Fluffiest Friends Dies. Since I had the dies out, I went ahead and die cut several leaves: in both Granny Apple Green and Parakeet Party. I used the Nested Essentials Dies to cut the banner in Basic White. I added a layer of leaves to the banner with liquid glue, then the bunny on dimensionals and a few more leaves on dimensionals. The single heart is from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers in the new Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog.

This is a 4 panel fun fold card and I used Petal Pink card stock for the card base – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 1 1/4 and 4 1/4. I added panels of DSP: Bee Mine 12 x 12 DSP, also from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. The pieces are (2) 1 x 5 1/2 and (2) 2 3/4 x 5 1/4. The banner with the bunny was added with Stampin’ Seal to the folded back front panel.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends 4 panel fun fold

For the inside sentiment panel – Basic White piece – 2 3/4 x 5 1/4 – I pulled out another stamp set, Beautiful Balloons from the Annual Catalog. I stamped the Happy Birthday in Sweet Sorbet ink then the rounded sentiment in Petal Pink ink. The flowers at the bottom come from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set and are stamped in Memento ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Dark Petal Pink, Light Sweet Sorbet, Light Lemon Lolly and Light Granny Apple Green. On top of a few of the flowers I added a flower from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers. I adhered a few more of the die cut leaves in Granny Apple Green and Parakeet Party, attached the panel to the inside and the card was done.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends card & envelope, bunny

For the envelope, I added more of the Sweet Sorbet DSP from Bee Mine 12×12 DSP pack to the flap. I stamped the balloon in Sweet Sorbet ink using the Beautiful Balloons stamp set. I used a Basic Black Marker to add a bow and some squiggly string. I think the person receiving this card is going to love it! It’s feminine, full of color and has a super cute bunny :O)

Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Birthday

Posted on December 10, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Sunday! My apologies… I thought I had scheduled this to publish and didn’t!!! I have a fun, bright & cheery birthday card for you today, using the Fluffiest Friends bundle.

This is a very colorful card… because the person to whom it is being sent likes color :O) I started with the Granny Apple Green card base. With scraps of Granny Apple Green I die cut the grassy layers (5 of them) using the Fluffiest Friends Dies. I stamped the animal image (is this a raccoon? I can’t tell!) holding a ballon, colored it with Stampin’ Blends Crumb Cake (body) and Petal Pink (hands & feet) and a dot of black on the nose. I die cut this image, also from the Fluffiest Friends Dies and adhered it to a Basic White panel (3 x 4) I die cut two balloons, one from Pumpkin Pie and one from Berry Burst. I adhered the orange balloon with dimensionals and the other directly to the panel. With my Basic Black marker I drew a couple of squiggly lines. I stamped the word HAPPY in Berry Burst ink using the Biggest Wish stamp set. The grasses were added to the Basic White panel in two layers… the first adhered with liquid glue, the second with strips of cut dimensionals. I added three Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio Pack in Berry Burst. This entire panel was added to a larger piece of Glorious Gingham 6×6 DSP in Berry Burst and that was added to a Basic White, then attached with liquid glue to the card base.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Birthday, inside

For the inside… a strip of the Glorious Gingham 6×6 DSP in Berry Burst was adhered near the bottom of the Basic White panel and the sentiment was stamped in Garden Green ink from Biggest Wish stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends Birthday card & envelope

This is such a fun, bright, cheerful card – and could be used for a child or adult, male or female. Love that flexibility! This bundle can be found in the Stampin’ Up! ONLINE EXCLUSIVES which may be found here.

Stampin’ Up! Garden Walk with Artistic Dies

Posted on October 30, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Monday morning. Golly – where did the weekend go? It was glorious here on the Jersey Shore – even though we made a quick trip to PA. And it was glorious there too. My card today is a fairly new one called Garden Walk 6×6 DSP. It has an interesting mix of colors and I’ve paired it with Basic White on this card.

Stampin' Up! Garden Walk DSP & Artistic Dies.

This is a very feminine birthday card and I like it a lot. The Artistic Dies are the leaves die cut from Basic White. I’ve also incorporated the Scalloped Contour Dies. The layers are like this: Card base is Thick Basic White; on this is a narrow layer of Garden Walk DSP adhered directly to the card base; the Scalloped Contour Basic White panel with Pretty Peacock and Garden Walk DSP all attached to one another then added to the card front with dimensionals. The Artistic Dies leaves was attached near the bottom with a couple of dabs of liquid glue, a narrow strip of Pretty Peacock added over this, then the sentiment banner on dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped using the Artistically Inked stamp set, which coordinates with the Artistic Dies, with Poppy Parade ink. Two final touches… a sweet bow using the pink in the Ribbon Combo Pack and three Iridescent Pastel Gems.

Stampin' Up! Birthday card with Garden Walk 6x6 DSP

On the inside… I used Poppy Parade ink to stamp the flowers from the Artistically Inked stamp set. They look just like the flowers on this Designer Series Paper :O) I stamped the leaves in Garden Green ink from the Artistically Inked stamp set then the sentiment – also from this stamp set. The stems were my own addition, using the Garden Green Marker to draw them in. The Basic White panel was simply asdded to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Garden Walk & Artistic Die card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the same Garden Walk 6×6 DSP on the flap and the larger flower from Artistically Inked stamp set stamped in Poppy Parade ink on the front. And finis! My hubby particularly likes this card :O)

Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Birthday Card

Posted on October 25, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello again! It’s Wednesday, midweek and I’m wondering how your week is proceeding. We are hoping to secure our sailboat this week for winter storage. Winds can be an issue for sailing into the channel where we store the boat, but Thursday looks to be on our side. Here’s hoping. I played this afternoon with a Designer Series Paper found in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES side of the store – Delightfully Floral 12×12 DSP. It has spring-like colors and yes, beautiful florals/ leaves. And it coordinates with Translucent Florals Bundle (stamps & dies). It’s a beautiful set, very feminine, and I enjoyed playing with it.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals & Delightfully Floral DSP

The Delightfully Floral 12×12 DSP takes venter stage here, really showing off. The flowers are in Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia and Calypso Coral. I used inks from the first two colors + Parakeet Party as an accent. The card base is Fresh Freesia in a top fold A2 size. The next three layers are together & on dimensionals attached to the card base: Delightfully Floral DSP on the non-floral side, Basic White and the front layer of Delightfully Floral DSP with these gorgeous medium flowers. I stamped the hexagon dots with the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set & Berry Burst ink on a Basic White scrap, then stamped the sentiment using the Translucent Florals stamp set and more Berry Burst ink, then punched it out with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I set this aside and stamped two florals designs from the Translucent Florals stamp set, both in Fresh Freesia ink and die cut them with dies from the Translucent Floral Dies. I adhered the larger floral to the hexagon with dimensionals, then the smaller one close to it with a single dimensional. I added Stampin’ Seal to the back of the hexagon and wrapped a Parakeet Party ribbon from the Ribbon Due Combo Pack in a ‘Z’, I added dimensionals to the hexagon, covering the ribbon and attached this to the card front. For afinal touch I attached Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Berry Burst on the hexagon. And… the front is done!

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals birthday card, inside

For the inside, I added a piece of Parakeet Party card stock to the card base. I proceeded to stamp in Berry Burst ink, this larger floral from the Translucent Florals stamp set, then stamped the center in Pretty Peacock ink with the appropriate stamp from this same set on a Basic White panel. I stamped the inside sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink for a nice contrast. I added the same Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Berry Burst around the flower. This was added right over the Parakeet Party panel and the card was complete!

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals & Delightfully Floral DSP card & envelope

For the envelope, I covered the flap in another panel of the Delightfully Floral 12×12 DSP and trimmed it to fit. For the envelope front, I stamped this delicaste image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink – done, done. let’s see, have I left out anything? When I first saw this DSP, my thought was – too bold, too bright, too, too. Now that I have it and am mplaying with it, I love it! One of the things I like about it is the contrasting, non-normal colors. I find it gives me creativity. You may see more of this layout in the days ahead!

Stampin’ Up! Pop-Out Gate Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on October 19, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to another fun BLOG HOP by our creative group. I can’t wait to see what others have made for the hop today. We have a color challenge.

Stampin' Up! Color Challenge for Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Pop-Out Gate Fold w/ Bright & Beautiful 6x6

Can you see all those colors in the color challenge in this DSP? Blueberry Bushel is the card base; Lost Lagoon is the ink on the sentiment, and Pretty Peacock is in the DSP, Moody Mauve is in the DSP too. So, I’m covered – whew! Isn’t this a fun card? I had such fun creating it!

Card base is 8 x 5 1/2, score at 2, 6 on long side
On the short side, cut @ 1 1/4″ on both short sides between score lines
On the long side, score @ 3″ & 5″ between cut lines
On the long side, score @ 4″ from top & bottom to cut line

In far left photo is how your card base should look after all cutting and score lines have been made. The photo next to it shows the image from the top.

Now it’s time to decorate with DSP & die cuts and all that good stuff.

DSP & center layers:

DSP for side front panels: 1 7/8 x 5 3/8, cut 2
DSP for small sections: 1 7/8 x 1 1/8, cut 4
Center card stock: 2 3/8 x 3
Center DSP: 2 1/4 x 2 7/8

Adhere center layers together & add to small center section of card.

Stampin' Up! Pop-Out Gate Fold DSP panels & center panel

In photos at left, it is clear where the various panels should be added, whether by liquid glue or Stampin’ Seal. I prefer the liquid glue as it allows for flexibility. It is up to you, however.

Now it’s time to decorate! I used Bright & Beautiful 6×6 DSP for the balloons and the added panels of DSP adhered to the card base & center section. I used Beautiful Balloons stamp set and Beautiful Balloons Dies for all the die cuts – including the center sentiment banner, stars and tassel. The stars & tassel were die cut from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVE Silver & Gold Adhesive-Backed Glitter Paper (LOVE THIS!) Because the glitter paper is adhesive backed, I die cut another tassel in white to adhere to it. On the smaller balloon, I added Gold Celebrations SDSP to the Bright & Beautiful DSP prior to die cutting. I colored a couple of strings of White Baker’s Twine with Light Blueberry Bushel Stampin Blends & tied them around the balloon bottoms and attached the ends with a rolled glue dot. I also added Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Gold to further the gold effect. On the back, I added a 1 1/2 x 4 Basic White strip to a side panel to write my message. And the card was done!

Stampin' Up! Pop-Out Fun Fold card & envelope

On the envelope I added a 2 1/4 x 6 piece of Bright & Beautiful 6×6 DSP and trimmed it to fit. I stamped the front of the envelope with Lost Lagoon ink and a sentiment from Beautiful Balloons stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Beary Christmas Memories and More Card Pack

Posted on October 2, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! Sometime ago I received a gift from my upline of this very fun Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack. It has been sitting on my desk just waiting for me to play. I have three to share today. Before I share, look at pages 22 & 23 in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog and see all the items that come in the pack. These are larger in size: 4 1/4 x 6 1/2, so just be aware of that.

Stampin' Up! Beary C'mas Mem'ries & More cards.1

Stampin' Up! Beary C'mas Mem'ries & More Card Pack.3

Stampin' Up! Beary C'mas Mem'ries & More Card Pack.2

Card 1, far left, uses the card base from the card pack, a layer of Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP, a window sheet (to make the shaker card) and these tiny trees die cut using the Tiny Trees Die found on page 13 in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog, a sticker from the card pack (Merry Christmas) and a twine (2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine Pack found in the 2023 Annual Catalog.) I also used Pearlized Enamel Effects in White and gave a dot on each of the green trees. It really does make the card sparkle! These little tiny trees are left over from another project some time ago :O)

Stampin'n Up! Beary C'mas mem'ries & More card pack.4

Card 2, middle, uses the Card base from the card pack, another panel of the Beary C’mas 12×12 DSP and two ‘cards’ layered together and on dimensionals. I also used Pearlized Enamel Effects in white on the trees.

Stampin' Up! Pearlized Enamel Effects in white

It is important when using the Pearlized Enamel Effects to LET IT DRY completely. I usually add it at the end of creating a card and set it aside while I work on another project.

Card 3, far right, is another shaker card but without the shakers :O) That’s another story!!! Here I wrapped the gorgeous Silver & White 1/2″ Ribbon (from the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog) around the ‘shaker’ and tied it with Woven Metallic Ribbon in Parakeet Party from the 2023 Annual Catalog. I adhered the ‘shaker’ portion directly to the decorated card base – decorated with Beary C’mas 12×12 DSP.

This is such a cute card pack and I’ve had such fun putting it together. More cards will be shared another time.

Starting tomorrow Oct 3 and going through to Oct 31 is a Starter Kit Special you will not want to miss. Celebrating 35 years of Stampin’ Up!, new demonstrators will be able to choose 35% OFF the cost of their Starter Kit or get 35% MORE product with their Starter Kit.

Stampin’ Up! Double Box Fun Fold for Class

Posted on October 1, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! Sunshine today – and I mean FULL sunshine. After 5 full days of rain and haze and cloud cover, the shining sun is very welcome… Today’s card was inspired by one of my teammates, Carol Buckelew. I love this fun fold – so very easy and creates a stand up card that’s fun to show off. After I made a couple of them, we made this in my card class Thursday.

Stampin' Up! Double Box Fun Fold w/ One Horse Open Sleigh DSP

I used the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP both for this card and another and in the card class as well. I love how each has a different scene. (You’ll see each of the others in the photos below) I also incorporated the Forever Forest stamp set (used on the card back) and coordinating Forever Forest Dies (for the die cut trees on the front). The circle was made using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Dimensions / Card Cuts

Card Base 1: 4 1/4 x 9 3/8 scored on the long side @ 3/8, 1 3/8, 2 7/8, 3 7/8
- DSP for this base 1: 4 1/8 x 5 3/8; 4 1/8 x 1 3/8
Card Base 2: 3 1/2 x 5 1/8 scored on the long side @ 3/8 & 1 3/8
- DSP for base 2: 3 3/8 x 3 58; 3 3/8 x 7/8
DSP for envelope flap: 2 1/4 x 6

Burnish score lines for Base 1; add DSP to long unscored end of base 1. Add Tear ‘n Tape to 3/8″ end fold under, then lay flat at 2 7/8 score line and adhere to make ‘box’. Adhere 1 3/8 DSP to appropriate panel – refer to photos. Add Tear ‘n Tape to 3/8″ section of base 2.

Stampin' Up! Double Box Fun Fold directions.1

Turn Base 2 to wrong side and center on Base 1, top, bottom, left & right. Add Stampin’ Seal as shown; turn over to right side and adhere to Base 1.

Remove Tear ‘n Tape & adhere to create box 2

Wow – almost there! Add 3 3/8 x 3 5/8 DSP to Base 2 front, then adhere 7/8 x 3 3/8 panel to panel to right of that.

Decorate front as desired. On this card I used the Forever Forest Dies to die cut two trees: one in Crumb Cake (smaller) and one in Pebbled Path. I layered them on a circle – die cut using Basic White and the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a bit of glam. See photo.

Stampin' Up! Double Box fun fold.8, back of card

For the back of the card I stamped a Basic White panel (4 1/8 x 5 3/8) using the trees from the Forever Forest stamp set and Mossy Meadow ink. The sentiment is from the Night Divine stamp set and stamped in Pebbled Path ink. The envelope was simple: more of the same One Horse Open Sleigh DSP for the flap & trimmed to fit. :O) :O) :O) Such a FUN CARD….

Here’s another and those made in the card class. All use the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP from the NLINE EXCLUSIVES store.

The students really enjoyed this class – had so much fun and were creative in decorating the card front and the back as well. Unfortunately I didn’t take photos of the back of the card :O( ugh. I look forward to see what YOU do with this fun fold. Please share photos with me of your creations!

As you know, Stampin’ Up! is a company that keeps things alive and moving – so LOTS going on. And I have to say, I love that – lots of inspiration and opportunities. Speaking of which, there are two I want to share that are coming up VERY SOON!
