Stampin’ Up! Slider Card Fun Fold with Sneak Peek Products

Posted on by

Good morning! I’m so excited to share this card with you – it’s a beauty, I used some new products that will be coming out in the May-August 2026 Catalog that you can order on May 5.

Stampin' Up! Slider Card fun fold, card front

The card base is Crisp Cantaloupe. Don’t you just love that name of a color? The layers are Peaceful Pine and various papers from the Bloom Boutique Specialty Paper Pack. The flowers & leaves come from a new bundle – Boutique Blossoms and the scalloped die cuts use the Scalloped Blooms bundle. Before I share all the details about how to make this card, let’s see the inside where the slider is.

Stampin' Up! Slider card fun fold inside

More gorgeous paper shown here from the same Bloom Boutique SDSP. And the slider? That’s the sentiment panel – and it slips inside the panel on the right.

So, directions… I chose to do the inside first so let’s start there.

  • The card base is the standard 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored on the long side @ 2 3/4 & 6 3/4. Burnish the score lines as both will fold to the inside.
  • Cut the left DSP panel 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 and adhere
  • Cut the center DSP panel 3 3/4 x 5 1/4 and adhere
  • Fold the last panel inwards with a narrow line of adhesive at just the top & bottom (see photo)

Decorate this folded over section with contrasting card stock (Peaceful Pine 1 1/2 x 5 1/4) then an overlay of DSP (1 1/4 x 5)

Creating the Slider for the card:

  • Cut a piece of card stock same color as card base (Crisp Cantaloupe) 3 3/4 x 4 1/4 & score 1/2″ on short side. Burnish & add adhesive to the scored end
  • Add this to the left inside panel even with the DSP & equidistant top to bottom
  • Fold this to the right, add a stamped Basic White piece 3 x 4 to the ‘slider’ front, then slip it into the opening on the right (I stamped the sentiment in Peaceful Pine ink – new In Color! and the flowers in Crisp cantaloupe – also new In Color! The sentiment is from Scalloped Blooms & the flowers are from Boutique Blossoms)

Now let’s decorate the front, which is really only the left panel 😀 Cut a contrasting card stock (Peaceful Pine) 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 and a DSP panel 2 1/4 x 5. Add to card front.

  • Die cut two panels of Scalloped Blooms Dies (Crisp Cantaloupe & Basic White) Stamp the BW piece in Peace Pine ink using a stamp from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set
  • Stamp small flowers in Peaceful Pine ink & the medium flower outline stamp in Crisp Cantaloupe. Stamp the filler stamp for both flowers in Barely Blush ink (another new IN COLOR!) Use the Light Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blend to add color to the leaves of the small flowers. Die cut & set aside.
  • Die cut the small group of leaves (Peaceful Pine)
  • Add each of these die cuts to the die cut scallops and attach to card front.
  • Final touch… add three (3) 2026-2028 In Color Dots

Envelope… Add another piece of the Bloom Boutique SDSP 2 1/4 x 6 to the flap & trim to fit. Stamp the front with flowers from the Bloom Boutique stamp set with Crisp Cantaloupe ink. YAY – this is ready to send to someone special!

Stampin’ Up! Pop-Up Book Fun Fold with Brushed With Beauty DSP

Posted on by
6

Brushed With Beauty is one of my all-time favorites. I just love the colors and the vibrancy and the nature images. I came across this fun fold the other day on Pinterest and just had to give it a ‘go’ using this paper. It coordinates with Petals of Beauty bundle & Words of Beauty bundle, as an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE back in November. I’m surprised the other but the same I have any remaining paper! I’m sharing two cards today using different patterns in this paper pack – each so different from the other but the very same fun fold.

Stampin' Up! Pop-Up Book Fun Fold card 1 & envelope.
Stampin' Up! Pop-Up Book Fun Fold, inside card 1

Card one is made with Darling Duckling for the card base and a layer of Early Espresso behind the DSP on the card front. I stamped and die cut leaf images using the Petals of Beauty bundle. The sentiment is from Words of Beauty stamp set & die cut using a Die from the coordinating bundle. The embellishments are Opal Rounds from the Mediterranean Blooms suite of products. On the inside, I again stamped in stamped off Early Espresso ink for the leaf image and full strength for the sentiment (Words of Beauty stamp set). I layered these Basic White ‘book pages’ with Early Espresso card stock.

For card 2 – remember it’s still the same Brushed With Beauty DSP pack. The card base here is Petal Pink and the DSP is layered on Mossy Meadow. The flower is die cut using the Petals of Beauty Dies: I stamped the flower in Petal Pink ink directly on the DSP & die cut the that, then die cut the white separately. The words are from Words of Beauty and die cut with the Dies: mossy Meadow for the shadow and Brushed with Beauty for the words themselves. For embellishments I used Low Profile Dots from Mixed Media Florals suite of products. On the inside, the words are stamped in Mossy Meadow ink using the Words of Beauty stamp set and the flower in Petal Pink ink with the Petals of Beauty stamp set and more Low Profile Dots.

Instructions how to make this card:

  • card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
  • DSP is 5 1/4 x 8 1/4:
    • with long side at top, score at 4 1/8, burnish gently
      • with short side at top, & DSP at 1″ mark, cut between 1″ & 7 1/4″, repeat for other side
        • with long side at top again, line up at 1″ & score between the long cuts at 1″ & 1 1/2″: repeat for other side. With long side still at top, score at 2″ in the upper & lower 1″ sections. Repeat for other side. Burnish all score lines gently… valley (1″), mountain (1 1/2″), valley (2″), mountain (for 1″ section; valley for center section), valley (other 2″ score), mountain (other 1 1/2 score), valley (final 1″ score.) It should look like photo below
  • With card base flat, adhere one ‘end’ on the DSP (between the 2″ and 1″ score lines): repeat for other end.
  • Close card so all score lines fold as required – see photo below

Now decorate:

  • Card front layers: card stock is 3 7/8 x 5 1/8; DSP layer is 3 3/4 x 5 & added to card front with dimensionals
  • Card inside layers: card stock is 2 1/2 x 3 1/8; Basic White is 2 3/8 x 3. ( I used a card stock layer only on the Darling Duckling card)

Envelopes…

Card 1 – Brushed with Beauty DSP 2 1/4 x 6 in Darling Duckling pattern, attached to flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, the small leaf image is stamped off once Early Espresso ink.

Card 2 – Brushed with Beauty DSP 2 1/4 x 6 in floral pattern, attached to flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, the flower is first stamped full strength in Petal Pink ink with the outline flower stamp, then stamped with the full flower in stamped off Petal Pink ink.

Stampin’ Up! Pop Up Slider Fun Fold with Scalloped Wishes Bundle

Posted on by
4

Good morning stampin’ friends. It was an amazing snow day yesterday, here in the Northeast. I’m guessing we got about 28″ and today is 20 degrees so that snow is frozen solid. It’s supposed to be sunny today so some will melt. 😀

I have a very fun pop up slider card today, which I haven’t done before. I was playing with a new bundle that’s a March Online Exclusive – available March 3 to customers. It’s so sweet. And Vellum seems to be popular these days, so I’ve used some of that too.

Stampin' Up! Pop Up Slider Fun Fold w/ Scalloped Wishes, card front

The card base is a standard 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I cut a piece of Country Wood 12×12 DSP 4 x 5 1/4 and added it to the card front. I embossed a Vellum panel 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 using the Damask Designs embossing folder. I pulled out Crumb Cake card stock and stamped a lacy border image in Crumb Cake ink then die cut it and a Basic White lacy die that fits this banner. I stamped the sentiment using the Prayers & Promises stamp set (from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog) in Misty Moonlight ink, then added the lacy die cut to the Crumb Cake with dabs of liquid glue. I attached this to the Vellum panel, then adhered the Vellum to the card front, adding glue only behind the banner. The reason is, the glue can b e seen through the Vellum if it’s added where there is no paper on the front. To complete the card front, I added three Pearls of Beauty in White.

For the inside… Cut two more panels of Country Woods 12×12 DSP (4 x 5 1/4) and add to the inside of the card. For the mechanism cut two pieces of Basic White: 2 x 5 1/4 scored on each end at 1/2″; 1 1/2 x 9 3/4 scored at 3/4, 5 1/4, 7, 7 1/2 & 9 1/4. Burnish all score lines. Add a piece of Country Woods DSP to the smaller Basic White piece (1 3/4 x 4) – set this aside to work on the ‘slider’. This long piece… the 3/4 score should be folder under while the rest of the score lines are burnished to come back up & over itself. Attach the 3/4 scored end to the right edge of the left inside panel centering it top to bottom – see photo.

Stampin' Up! Popp Up Slider Fun Fold.1

Add glue to those folded back ends of the decorated 2 x 5 1/4 piece & attach to the right inside of the card,over the mechanism and approximately 1/4″ from the next score line of the slider mechanism. You are attaching this to the card base, over the mechanism -see photo.

Stampin' Up! Pop Up Slider Fun Fold.2

Final step of the mechanism… adhere the last scored portion of the long strip to the left edge of the decorated 2 x 5 1/4 panel. See photo.

Stampin' Up! Pop Up Slider Fun Fold.3

Close the card to make the mechanism work properly and allow glue to set. Now, add adhesive to that thin part standing up & add the decorated element.

Stampin' Up! Pop Up Slider Fun Fold.4

In the above photo, I stamped the image of this gorgeous flower using the Simply Beautiful stamp set & Memento ink on a Basic White piece. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends Petal Pink and Light Timid Tiger. I die cut the flower & attached it with liquid glue to that thin standing up piece of the mechanism. I die cut the stamen of the flower from Country Woods DSP, added Wink of Stella to it & attached it to the center of the flower. The sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink with a sentiment from Simply Beautiful stamp set. I fussy cut the sentiment and attached it with mini dimensionals to the flower.

Stampin' Up! Pop Up Slider card.5

Final touches… I die cut these stunning dragonflies from Country Woods DSP and attached them to two places on the card. I embellished them with Pearls of Beauty in white – same as used on the card front. Open & close this card several times and the slider works perfectly! I am so excited about this new fun fold and can’t wait to try it with some other bundles in my stash… stay tuned!

Stampin’ Up! Bookfold Fun Fold with Cute As A Button Suite

Posted on by
2

Yesterday I created an interlocking z-fold with this suite. Today, it’s a bookfold using one of the pages of images that has scenes in 3 x 4 or 4 x 6 size. Let’s check it out.

Stampin' Up! Book fold w/ Sweet Bugs, card front

I’m calling this panel, lilies of the valley – and it’s sweet. I die cut another of the flowers from another panel of the Cute As A Bug DSP, along with the other images on this card & envelope. You get lots of images that can be die cut straight from the DSP – I did several different ones – because I could!

It begins with a standard card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 4 1/4 & 5 1/2. Burnish those score lines mountain, valley. Add adhesive between those score lines and close card base, pressing well. Add layers of Mossy Meadow cut 1 1/8 x 4 1/8 , 4 1/8 x 4 1/8 (cut 2, one for the inside). Add DSP panels to the front: 1 x 4 & 4 x 4. When I cut these front panels I wanted the scene to ‘flow’ across the front. (If you so desired, that 1 x 4 panel could be a contrast panel.) I added the die cut lily of the valley with dimensionals then the two ladybugs, also on dimensionals. I used the smallest of the Everyday Arches dies to cut my sentiment piece… stamped in Mossy Meadow ink using a sentiment from Sweet Bugs and attached with dimensionals. I added a single Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shape to the 1″ panel and Wink of Stella to all the gray areas of the lilies.

Stampin' Up! Book fold w/ Bugs, card inside

On the 4×4 Basic White piece for the inside, I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink using the Sweet Bugs stamp set, then added the bee, watering can small flower with grass – all die cuts using Sweet Bug Dies and Cute As A Bug DSP.

Stampin' Up! Book fold w/ Sweet bugs, card & envelope

For the envelope… sweet sweet daisy like DSP cut for the flap – yep – Cute As A Bug DSP, and a beetle ready for a picnic die cut from the Cute As A Bug DSP using the Sweet Bugs Dies. Loving this bundle & suite of products.

Stampin’ Up! Double Flap Fun Fold with Petals of Beauty

Posted on by
1

Today is card class and we are making a fun & easy double flap card. I’m always watching card videos and this idea came from those many views. I’m using one of my favorite floral bundles to make this card – Petals of Beauty, an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE bundle released in November.

Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty card front, fun fold

Are those stamped & die cut florals gorgeous or what! And, stamped in Bubble Bath ink is just so soft and delicate, and that overlay in Basic White just adds to the charm. The card base is Strawberry Slush 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I then trimmed 1″ from each side of the card front, (cutting it to the score line) & removing those pieces. This allows us to see the beauty of the DSP underneath – Mixed Up Patterns, also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE item. Before adding DSP panels we need that extra flap that folds over (this holds the flower die cuts & sentiment). This panel can really be any width, but because of the large flowers this panel is 2 1/4 x 6, then scored at one end at 4 1/4. This will be attached to the card base, centering it so the scorer line is at the right edge of the card base.Now add a panel of DSP 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Here I used a Strawberry Slush pattern from this delicious Mixed Up Patterns paper. Now we decorate!

Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty fun fold, one flap over

Cut a piece of coordinating DSP (here I chose a Bubble Bath pattern from Mixed Up Patterns 12×12 pack) 2 1/4 x 5 1/2. I embossed this panel prior to adhering it, using the Kintsugi Embossing folder, then attached it to that upper flap. For the side flap I cut a panel of Bubble Bath 2 1/4 x 4 1/4 and stamped it using the Petals of Beauty stamp set and stamped the leaves.. I wrapped this with a 1/2″ Basic White Woven Ribbon from the Everyday Skies suite collection, also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. I love this ribbon! It ties bows so beautifully. Once that ribbon was in place around the Bubble Bath stamped panel, I adhered it to that other front flap. I stamped the flowers from Petals of Beauty in Bubble Bath ink on Basic White. This is a two-step stamp: the outline stamp and the filler stamp (that’s what I call it anyway). The outline stamp is full strength Bubble Bath; the filler stamp is stamped off once Bubble Bath. I die cut these from the Petal of Beauty Dies, then die cut the ‘overlay’ from Basic White – two large flowers and one smaller one. I stamped my sentiment in Bubble Bath ink and cut it apart, putting both portions on dimensionals and added them to this ribboned panel. Then I placed my flowers, putting dimensionals on those as well. Final touch… Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems, another ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.

Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty fun fold, inside card

The inside panel is 2 x 5 1/4 stamped in Bubble Bath ink. The sentiment if from Words of Beauty, a coordinating stamp set in the Suite Collection. The leaves at the bottom are the same as on the front flap: stamped in Bubble Bath ink.

Stampin’ Up! Expanding & Angled Fun Fold with Endless Love Bundle

Posted on by
4

Good morning! The wind chill is minus 8 degrees this morning – definitely not typical NJ weather. I have a super sweet heart card for you today… just you wait. The directions and inspiration came from http://www.lisasstampstudio.com. This was much easier to create than it looks and I love the mix of patterns in the Made with Love 12×12 DSP.

Stampin' Up! Expanding & Angled Fun Fold w/ Endless Love bundle, card front
Stampin' Up! Endless Love Fun Fold, card standing
Stampin' Up! Endless :Love Fun Fold, open

In the photo above, you can see how it is shaped like a w with the angled cuts. In the photo at right, you can see the various decorated angles – all die cuts are from the Endless Love Dies. You can also see that on the last panel, left an opening for the heart insert.

Stampin' Up! Endless Love fun fold, shows pocket
Stampin' Up! Endless Love fun fold, pocket insert

In the two photos above, you can see the heart insert. These were die cut with the Endless Love Dies and tied together with ribbons ( 1/2″ Iridescent Ribbon that I cut in half lengthwise, the 1/8″ Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon and Linen Thread.

Just to be clear, the hearts are not symmetrical on each side, so the large front heart appears cock-eyed, but it isn’t. I wove the two ribbons through the open holes (1/8′ Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon + Linen Thread) & tied a bow. For a bit of extra sweetness, I added hearts to the tails of the Bubble Bath ribbon, die cuts from small heart dies in the bundle. The heart is added to the front angle with dimensionals.

I used Flirty Flamingo for the card base and expanding angles, Real Red for various heart die cuts, and Basic White for additional die cuts. The DSP is Made with Love 12×12 DSP. I adhered in various places the Loose Valentine Assortments. Stamping was done with Real Red ink. Ribbons: Linen Thread, 1/8″ Bubble Bath Faux Linen Thread and 1/2″ Iridescent Ribbon cut in half lengthwise.

Basic Measurements:

Card base – 5 1/2 x 6 1/4 scored on long side at 1″ & 2″

Angled base – 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored in half at 4 1/4; leave folded and cut from the top score line to the bottom right tip. Reserve cut panels

DSP:

  • inside back – 4 1/8 x 5 3/8; strips – 7/8 x 5 3/8
  • expanding angle – cut 3, 4 x 5 1/4, cut diagonally
  • inside triangle – 4 x 5 1/4 cut diagonally

Basic White: 4 x 5 1/4, cut diagonally (for the expanding angle – see photos)

Additional card stock: Real Red, Basic White for die cuts

Stampin’ Up! ‘Pinched Paper’ Fun Fold with Lovely & Beautiful SDSP

Posted on by
2

Good Friday morning! It’s 18 degrees this morning but nice & brightly sunny 😀 My inspiration came from one of my card class students who passed along info about making this cute fun fold. That led me to watch a video by Rachel Tessman. Let’s look at my creation.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Beautiful fun fold card front

This begins with a Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 and adhering a strip of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 to the center of the panel. Now cut two more strips from the same pattern 1 3/4 x 5 1/4. Adhere those strips in this fashion: the left strip – add adhesive only to the left edge & attach; the right strip – add adhesive to the right edge and attach.

Folding: fold back the top right side of the left strip to approximately the center of the card, but the fold should not allow any of the Basic White to show. Turn the card upside down and do the same for that same panel to create the bottom fold. Now, do the same for the right strip; fold back the top left side of the right strip just to the edge of the center strip pattern to a center point. Turn the card upside down again and do the same on the bottom right side. Burnish those folded back sections.

TIP: this folding back does not necessarily have to be to the center; it could be more toward the top or toward the bottom, but both sides do need to be uniform – to the same point.

Create the center pieces to cover where the papers come together. I pulled out my Beautifully Celebrated Dies, Fresh Freesia card stock and Basic White, die cut the two pieces and adhered them together. ( I used the smallest & next size up). I then stamped this sweet leaf image in Old Olive ink from the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set and colored it with Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends. I die cut it with coordinating dies (Beautifully Celebrated) and set it aside. I used the Simply Beautiful stamp set and Old Olive ink for the sentiment and fussy cut it, adhered the leaf to the back of the sentiment then attached the sentiment with mini dimentionals to the two die cut banners. W
ith the Simply Beautiful stamp set, I stamped the small flower in VersaMark ink (twice) on a Basic White piece, sprinkled those with WOW? Metallic Gold embossing Powder & heat set them. I colored both with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends for the flowers and Daffodil Delight for the center of the flowers. I die cut these with the coordinating die from Simply Beautiful Dies and adhered them to the same banner: one adhered directly to the and one on dimensionals (yes, it slightly covers some of the sentiment) I attached the banners to the front of the card with dimensionals and added three Pearlized Faceted Circles.

Stampin' Up! Simply Beautiful card inside

For the inside of the card, I stamped the same small flower from Simply Beautiful stamp set in VersaMark ink on a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel, sprinkled it with WOW! Metallic Gold embossing powder & heat set it. Again I colored it with Stampin’ Blends Fresh Freesia and Daffodil Delight. I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink on a nother piece of Basic White and die cut it with Words of Beauty Dies. I adhered this just beneath the flower – and finis! This could easily be a sympathy card or get well card or simply ‘hello friend’ kind of card. But I love the simplicity of the fun fold and the extra charm it creates. Hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! Pleated Fun Fold with Botanical Textures DSP

Posted on by
4

I posted a card last week that was made in this same way. Todays card is simply black & white with the beautiful Botanical Textures DSP (on the last chance list so ON SALE!) I used a new November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE embossing folder – Beautiful Pattern and really like the design it creates.

Stampin' Up! Pleated Fun Fold in Botanical Textures

You will notice I offset the pleated panel and tied the bow on the side. This has a totally different look. Here is the link to the card with this same pleat or accordion type fold.

More photos… card open to the left so all layers show, then card open to right where only the second panel is decorated. You could, of course, decorate the other panels, but they would not show when the card is closed or open.

Stampin' Up! Pleated Fun Fold in Botanical Textures, open to left

Notice the DSP is cut so each design matches the next, starting with the left far panel to even the small strip on right. These were purposely cut sequentially so the pattern would ‘flow.’

We have a perfect challenge to get us excited about Christmas! Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop 😀 I’m using the Bauble Blooms bundle to create this fun fold today.

Stampin' Up! Bauble Blooms card front

I’m using a couple of different coordinating Designer Series papers for my card today: the bauble is die cut from Need for Tweed 12 x 12, the front layer on the flap & the card front is Traditions of Christmas. I love how they work together, brining together both gold & rustic patterns. Now let’s open & see the flap open then the entire card.

Above you can see all the various papers used to create a really eye-catching card. And, it really is not terribly bulky. Using Designer Series Papers that are lighter weight for layers help keep the card light for traditional postage. Let’s do a quick step by step…

Directions:

  • Die cut the bauble with the Bauble Blooms Dies from both DSP & Old Olive card stock – this creates strength to put on dimensionals. If you so desire, you can adhere the two panels together, then die cut – it works well!
  • Cut layers for card base: Cherry cobbler 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4; flap is 3 5/8 x 3 5/8 scored on one side at 1/2″: add to card base centering top to bottom with score line at edge. You must make certain you can close the flap over the closedc card. If necessary you can trim 1/16 from card front.
  • Decorate as shown: layers are 3 x 3 1/2 for flap front & inside flap; card front layers are 2 tone card stock 4 x 5 1/4, DSP 3 7/8 x 5 1/8
  • Inside layers are: front inside left – DSP 4 x 5 1/4; stamped section – 4 x 5 1/4
  • Additional decorations were die cut from: Peaceful Gardens Glimmer Paper & Need for Tweed, plus Old Olive card stock & gold foil
  • Embellishments are Traditional Sparkling Sequins

Stampin’ Up! Regal Distressed Patterns with Pearls of Beauty & Words of Beauty

Posted on by

Mixing old & new is almost magical – it brings life to papers you have had for a while, making it possible to create with new eyes. I’m sharing another accordion fold card made with the Regal Distressed Pattern SDSP that is Pretty Peacock in color and pairing it with the dies from Pearls of Beauty – a new November 4 release in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.

Stampin' Up! Regal Distressed Patterns SDSP w/ Pearls of Beauty bundle accordion fold

These gorgeous dies from the new Pearls of Beauty bundle were die cut from Gold Foil and from Vellum. Yes – Vellum is back! Vellum is one of the products in the Brushed with Beauty Suite. I cut a panel of Gold Foil 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 & from the center die cut the two leaf dies – using the Pearls of Beauty Dies. I cut a panel of the Regal Distressed Pattern SDSP 4 x 5 1/4 & added it to the Gold Foil – no one will suspect die cut were taken from the center! Both were added to the Pretty Peacock card base. The gold foil die cuts were added with liquid glue – except under four of the larger leaves I added a dimensional for added depth. I die cut the delicate floral edging detail from Vellum & attached it with a glue dot in the center of the flower. One single Pearls of Beauty embellishment in the center covers the glue dot. I added a double bow from white Baker’s Twine & attached it with a glue dot as well. Gorgeous!

For the inside… stunning. The accordion fold is a panel of DSP (here it is Regal Distressed Patterns SDSP in white) cut 4 x 12 and scored at 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9, then added to the card base with equal edges on both ends – only adhering those 3″ ends. Here I used the Branching Out Dies to die cut two Basic White panels adhering them 1/4″ from the edge of the paper on each end. The Pearls of Beauty single flower is stamped in Flirty Flamingo full strength for the flower outline, then using the ‘filler’ stamp and Flirty Flamingo ink, stamping off once. I die cut the stamped image with the Pearls of Beauty Dies and added it to the upper left corner. I die cut the delicate Vellum edging of the flower and added it with a single glue dot & a Pearls of Beauty embellishment in the center. I stamped the leaf image on the Vellum in Soft Sea Foam ink, heat set it with my heat tool, then die cut it with the Pearls of Beauty Dies and slipped it gently under the flower, using liquid glue to attach it. On the lower right corner… I stamped the flowers in the same manner as the first…outline stamp in Flirty Flamingo full strength and the filler stamp in stamped off Flirty Flamingo ink. I added three small Pearls of Beauty embellishments.

For the envelope… more of the Regal Distressed Pattern SDSP added to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, this gorgeous flower stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink in the 2 step method described above.
