Stampin’ Up! Countryside Blossoms Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning. Is it HOT where you are? It is HOT here… and the humidity makes it difficult to breathe. Ugh… Having said all that, this is a sunshiny kind of card. It’s just fresh looking and clean. And pretty much monochromatic. Did this tease you a bit? Hope so!

Stampin' Up! Countryside Blossoms Fun Fold

I began by cutting a length of card stock 4 x 10 and scoring it at 2 1/2 at each end. With the card stock still folded, with the largest die in the Countryside Dies, die cut this piece. The die will hang over a bit on each folded end – this is good! This actually creates the fun fold :O). With the next to largest die, die cut another Basic White piece and emboss it with the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder. There IS a CENTER point to the embossing folder, a main flower. Use that to center the panel you are embossing.

Attach this embossed piece to the left front fold of the fun fold panel. I chose to decorate this embossed piece just a bit. I had in my stash, a flower already created. It was made with dies from the Paper Florist Dies, Basic White and Crushed Curry card stock. Is this a sweet flower or what! I then added these small Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels, four on each side, on a bump of the embossing. And the front was done.

For the inside… with Wild Wheat card stock, I used the 2nd largest die from Countryside Dies to cut a panel and centered it on the inside of the fun fold. I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink on a Basic White panel and die cut this with the third largest die from Countryside Corners Dies. Another flower was on my desk created using the Paper Florist Dies and I attached it to the card. It used Basic White and Crushed Curry card stock.

I felt this card needed a back as it was only about 3 1/2 x 5 and might get lost in the envelope. I added a piece of the Fresh as a Daisy DSP to a Wild Wheat piece (both 4 1/4 x 5 1/2) and centering the fun fold, added it to the new card base. YAY!

For the envelope, I added more of the same Fresh as a Daisy DSP, then stamped the sentiment in Wild Wheat ink. This card can now be used as a thank you, a special occasion, a thinking of you, just about any reason :O)

Stampin’ Up! Showing off Embossing Folder Card

Good Monday morning! Have your recuperated yet from the time change? I’m so wishing it would come to an end… just sayin’. My card today is to show off three embossing folders that are part of the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES Stampin’ Up! has in their online store. This is a new program – the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and new products will be shared March, July & November. They are products that will never be shown in a catalog and may or may not be replenished. Confusing? Well somewhat. But the thing is – if you like it, get it right away so you have it to use and you won’t regret if it sells out and doesn’t return.

Stampin'n Up! Embossing Folders from ONLINE EXCLUSIVES

What I like about this card is the simplicity of the layout, the bright colors and the showing off of the embossing folders, texture. I also like the oval ‘cuz it balances out the other shapes shown in the DSP and the embossing folders. About the embossing folders: flowers, thumbnail glass dots & cross hatch – these are the designs they create.

This IS a colorful card! The background is a layer of the Brights 6×6 DSP in Granny Apple Green. Love the plaid!!! And it’s adhered to a Granny Apple
Green card base
. The embossing folders come as a set of three (3) from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES as I mentioned before. And I wanted to really showcase these folders – they have fun shapes and create lots of opportunity for use. These were run through the Cut & Emboss machine with 4 x 5 1/4 card stock, then cut down for use on this card. These were adhered to a Tahitian Tide panel and that was added to the card front with dimensionals. The ribbon is a two-in-one… I created this by putting a strip of tear & tape on the burlap ribbon (from Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo pack) and adding two lengths of Metallic Woven Ribbon in Parakeet Party on the tear & tape. The oval is a die cut from Fabulous Frames Dies, stamped in Tahitian Tide ink using the Sentimental Park stamp set. The cross-hatch also comes from that stamp set & uses Granny Apple Green ink. The embellishments are the 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots in Tahitian Tide.

The inside of the card is a simple cross hatch from the Sentimental Park stamp set, stamped in Granny Apple Green on a Basic White panel. I need room for my special thanks to this person!

Stampin' Up! EMBOSSING FOLDER show off card & envelope

The envelope has more cross hatching in Granny Apple Green ink from Sentimental Park stamp set, and the flap has a panel of Brights 6×6 DSP in Granny Apple Green. Talk about a cheerful card! This could easily be a birthday card… just change the sentiment banner 😀

Products to make this card are listed below. Please use my CURRENT HOST CODE: XFYQSSE9 when shopping with me. . Here’s how it works… when you place an order of $50 or more (before shipping & taxes), you receive from me a SU! item valued up to $10 + Star-Studded Rewards. If your order exceeds $150, do not use my HOST CODE as SU! has it’s own rewards from which you may choose. You will still receive that FREE ITEM valued up to $10 from me + the Star-Studded Rewards. 😁👍 Please note… I have had to remove card stock as a free item due to increased cost of mailing – ugh. Card cuts may be found at the end of this post.
