Stampin’ Up! Rhino Ready Floating Panel Fun Fold

Posted on March 5, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Sunday morning. The ONLINE EXCLUSIVES have been a big hit and with the March 1 offerings was this fun bundle – the Rhino Ready stamp set and Rhino Ready Dies. The rhinos are so cute and a bit sassy and I couldn’t resist. Pinterest is a wonderful resource for ideas & instructions and I found this Floating Fun Fold by LeeAnn Greff that this new set was perfect for making this card.

This is so incredibly easy ~ so here ya go…

The card base is Basic White and is 8 1/2 x 5 12, scored at 2 1/8 & 4 1/4
The two front panels are from the Subtles 6×6 DSP and are cut 2 x 5 1/4. Quick tip: I make sure when there is a pattern that the panels match side by side. These are Calypso Coral… adhere to the two front panels on the card base.
Using the Deckled Rectangle Dies, cut a Basic White panel to stamp, color & decorate for the floating panel
- Stamp the Rhino with Memento ink and color with Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends
- Die cut the birthday hat from a scrap of Subtles 6×6 DSP – this time in Pear Pizzazz. Add hat to the rhino with a dimensional. Add a Balmy Blue sequin from the Pastel Adhesive-backed Sequin pack.
- Stamp the sentiment from the Rhino Ready stamp set in Memento ink on a Basic White strip, then die cut with the banner die from Something Fancy Dies. Adhere to the stamped panel with dimensionals. Add three Classic Matte Dots in Gray.
- Stamp the bird from Rhino Ready stamp set in Memento ink, color with Dark Daffodil Delight Blends and die cut with the appropriate die from Rhino Ready Dies. Add with a mini dimensional cut in half added to the top of the bird and a dab of glue to the feet
Die cut another piece slightly larger than the rhino panel using the Deckled Rectangle dies and Gray Granite card stock. Adhere this to the back of the stamped rhino.
Now to create the ‘floating’ pieces 😀
- Cut two pieces of card stock 3/4 x 1 3/4; fold in half. Estimating the half point on the front panels of the card base, add adhesive to one side of the folded strip and attach at the fold. Do the same with the other strip making sure the folds butt against one another.
- Add adhesive to the loose end of the strip and set the rhino stamped panel on it. Do the other side. The attached strips should look like the photo below.

Decorate the inside…

On a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel, stamp the grass in Pear Pizzazz ink. The grass comes from the Rhino Ready stamp set.
Stamp the birthday sentiment from Rhino Ready stamp set in Memento ink
On a separate piece of Basic White, stamp the rhino with the bird on it’s back and stamp another individual bird.
- Color the rhino with Gray Granite Blends and the birds with Dark Daffodil Delight. Die cut each with the coordinating dies in the Rhino Ready Dies.
- Die cut three of the grasses from Pear Pizzazz and layer on top of one another, using liquid glue to secure. Add to the card as shown. This will be the ‘stopper’ to allow the card to remain folded when it stands for display.
- Adhere the rhino in place with loiquid glue and the bird as well.
Adhere stamped piece to 4 1/8 x 5 38 piece of Gray Granite card stock and add to inside of card.

Now for the envelope…

Stamp the grass along the bottom of the envelope with Pear Pizzazz ink, leaving an opening for the bird peeking through.
Stamp the bird in Memento ink and color with Dark Daffodil Delight Blend
Add Subtles 6×6 DSP in Calypso Coral to the flap, 2 1/4 x 6 & trim to fit. My piece of DSP was only about 2″ so I added a Gray Granite strip first, then the DSP

Stampin’ Up! Petal Park Bundle and a Fun Fold

Posted on February 18, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning! It’s raining here, gray & overcast. UGH. But I have a card for you that will hopefully brighten your day. I’ve chosen to make another Diamond Flip Fold card – just because I found it so much fun – and it makes a statement. I’ve used the Regency Park 6×6 DSP , the Petal Park Bundle (includes the Petal Park Builder Punch) and the Charming Sentiment Bundle (includes the Sentiment Silhouette Dies). You can see the other Diamond Flip Card here.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Diamond Flip Fold.1

The card base is Night of Navy and I’ve used Balmy Blue as a background behind the DSP and the stamped diamond on the card front. There is not a lot of writing room as this card shows, but in lieu of DSP on the inside, you could easily have a layer of Basic White to have more room. What’s nice – make it your own by changing it up. You will notice in the photos below that I have not put any DSP on the diamond ends of the card on the inside – as I did on the previous card. It seemed too busy, so I left it off – and, I like it better.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Diamond Flip Fold.2

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Diamond Flip Fold.3

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Diamond Flip Fold.4

You can see in each of the photos I have used Balmy Blue as a base layer over the Night Of Navy, then either the Basic White or the Regency Park 6×6 DSP. These papers are just so pretty they need showing off! The front Basic White panel is stamps from the Petal Park stamp set. The leaves were done in Shaded Spruce stamped off once – after stamping the outline in Memento ink. The flowers were stamped on a separate panel in Memento ink, then I used the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends to color the petals + the Color Lifter to ‘move’ the Balmy Blue colors. I found it better to use the Color Lifter to do that than the Blender Pen as that pen tends to ‘poill’ the paper. The floral centers are colored in Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. At this point the flowers were punched and added to the square (diamond) panel with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Diamond Flip Fold.5

You can see in this photo above that I stamped the flowers in Balmy Blue (stamped off) to help me with placement for the punched flowers. :O)

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Diamond Flip Fold.6

In this photo above, I’m getting ready to adhere the square or diamond panel to the ‘flip’ front. Card cuts are listed at the bottom of this post. Full & complete directions may be found on a previous post… You can see the other Diamond Flip Card here.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Birthday for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Posted on February 14, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Tuesday morning and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! Appreciate your loved ones, all of them. Send them a note or give them a call, whatever works for you. It’s never too late to let folks know you care about them. Thank you for joining me today – remember, I care about you! And welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group!

Today’s card plays along with the challenge for this week – a birthday card. And it’s a Diamond Flip card that’s fun to do, and did I say easy?

Gosh, the photo is a bit dark… but isn’t this a sweet card? Here’s a photo of it unfolded showing the outside.

And here’s one of it folded showing the inside. Notice the diamond on the left is ‘flipped’, or folded.

And one more photo… this one shows the front again, with the diamond fold to the inside. This way you clearly see how it’s all put together.

Directions:

Cut card base (here I used Granny Apple Green) 4 1/4 x 11 and score at 2 1/8 & 5 1/2
On the 2 1/8 end, mark the center point, on the short side which happens to be 2 1/8.
Fold card in half – on the 5 1/2 score line
Cut from the 2 1/8 score line to the point mark on a diagonal, going through both layers.
Now do the other cut from 2 1/8 score line to point. By cutting both ends at the same time, this makes the ends exactly the same!
Cut a 3″ square, also from Granny Apple Green, and adhere to the 2 1/8 end, adhering just to score line. This allows that end to be flexible.And this is the end to be decorated.
- Add a 2 7/8″ square, this time in a coordinating color or Basic White. I chose Textured Shimmer Paper in Balmy Blue
- Stamp the floral image from True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride ink, then die cut with coordinating die from Organic Beauty Dies.
- Stamp the leaves in Granny Apple Green ink using True Beauty stamp set. Die cut with coordinating die using Organic Beauty Dies
- Adhere the floral image with dimensionals to the now diamond. Slip the leaves under this a bit and adhere with liquid glue.
- Cut a banner 1/2 x 3 1/4 and stamp with sentiment from Sentimental Park stamp set, in Merry Merlot ink. Slip banner just under flower and adhere with liquid glue.
- Add bow ribbon with glue dot: Twill Ribbon Combo Pack in Old Olive
- Add Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink (Jan-Apr Mini Catalog)
- Cover floral image with Wink of Stella
Add Balmy Blue panel 3 1/4 x 4 1/8 to card front
Add Awash In Beauty DSP over Balmy Blue, 3 1/8 x 4 1/8

For the inside

Add a 3 1/8 x 4 panel of the Awash in Beauty DSP to the panel on left
Stamp the sentiment using Sentimental Park stamp set and Merry Merlot ink on the Basic White panel (3 1/8 x 4)
Stamp the flower in Blushing Bride ink using the True Beauty stamp set, cover in Wink of Stella then add more Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink
Cut a 2 7/8 square from Awash in Beauty DSP, cut in half creating two triangles. Adhere to each inside end

This card fits perfectly in a regular size envelope and I forgot to take a photo! However… here’s what I did… Cut another piece of Awash in Beauty DSP 2 1/4 x 6, add to envelope flap & trim to fit. Stamp a floral image from True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride, adding a bit of Merry Merlot to the center with your finger or a sponge dauber, then stamp on front of envelope. Cover with Wink of Stella.

Stampin’ Up! Flap Front Fun Fold Birthday

Posted on February 11, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

I am smitten with the Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper and have made a fun birthday card with it. This is so super easy you will want to make one too.

This little fox is just so stinkin’ C-U-T-E! Look at that grin & that sassy walk. That little guy is die cut straight from the Rain or Shine DSP and die with the Layering Circles Dies. It’s back layer is Mango Melody die cut with the Layering Circles Dies, scallop. Ok, directions.

Card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/4 scored at 4 1/4 and I used Balmy Blue
- Remove 1″ from card base front & trim that strip to 3 1/2″, then score one end at 1″
- Attach the short end of this strip to the card back with the score line at the edge – long end to the right
Add a 1 1/4 x 5 3/8 strip of DSP over top of strip – see the raindrop strip in photo, that’s it.

Attach the circle die cut to the long end of the strip. I wanted a nice ‘finish’ to the back side so die cut another circle with the Layering Circles Dies from Brights 6×6 DSP in Mango Melody & adhered it to the back side.
A panel of Basic White 2 3/4 x 5 3/8 is stamped with the birthday sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set in Memento ink. Adhere to inside of card.
Back to card front… Add a panel of Rain or Shine DSP to the card front – 3 1/8 x 5 3/8
Stamp a sentiment in Memento ink on a Basic White Scrap & die cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies.
Add a Mango Melody strip behind it 5/8 x 2 1/4. This could be a length of ribbon instead, or a pice cut slightly larger than the sentiment panel. Add with dimensionals to the card front
I added three Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots in Mango Melody for a bit of bling.

Super easy card – and you could easily change it up… front flap embellished could be a square, a rectangle, a heart. All kinds of possibilities!

For the envelope… more of the Brights 6×6 DSP for the flap, trimmed to fit and another die cut from the Rain or Shine DSP, this time die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. A super fun card to send & receive!

Stampin’ UP! Best Day Book Fold

Posted on January 16, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Monday morning! It is Martin Luther King day. Are you working today, or is your place closed? Schools are closed here, but I do know teachers in some private schools are open. At any rate, whatever you do, may you make it a good day. My card today is made with a new stamp set from the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog – called Best Day. It is so cute and I had a really playful time with color.

I focused on using several shades of blue and am really happy with the results. And the Granny Apple Green really makes everything pop. I started by stamping the image on a Basic White piece with Memento ink then got busy coloring with Stampin’ Blends: Daffodil Delight Granny Apple Green, Tahitian Tide and Pale Papaya. I even stamped the little whirlies in three of those colors. I die cut this with the largest square of the Stylish Shapes Dies. I wanted this piece on dimensionals so did that. Then came the playful layers: Textured Shimmer Paper in Balmy Blue (this is a new paper and it’s wonderful!) layered to Pacific Point. Then I pulled out the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 DSP in Tahitian Tide and layered that on another panel of Pacific Point. My card base is Granny Apple Green and is made into a book fold: 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2 and again @ 4 1/2. Fold the card in half then adhere the section together between the 4 1/2 & 5 1/2 score lines ~ and the book fold is created. Now decorate by putting the layers together. What’s on dimensionals… the kitty cat of course, then also the Textured Shimmer Paper layered on the Pacific Point, that’s also on dimensionals. The final touch was Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

For the inside, again I kept that playful, colorful theme going. I stamped the image from Best Day stamp set in Memento ink then colored with Stampin’ Blends: Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Tahitian Tide and Pale Papaya. And while you can’t really tell in the photo, the cake is covered in Wink of Stella.

For the envelope… more of the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 DSP in Tahitian Tide on the flap then I stamped the sparkles from Best Day stamp set in Tahitian Tide ink, Pale Papaya ink and Granny Apple Green ink. This card can so easily be for a child or a playful adult ~ I love it!

Stampin’ Up! Fun, Fun Fold with Desert Details and Favored Flowers DSP

Posted on January 6, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning! While I wait for more wonderful Stampin’ Up! products from the new January-April 2023 Mini Catalog, I’m sharing some fabulous Designer Series Papers FREE with a $50 order – Sale-a-bration products. And yep – order any Stampin’ Up! products January-February to receive these items. Today’s card is a fun fold – not sure if it really has a name or title. If it does, please let me know.

This particular DSP coordinates pretty well with a stamp set that’s still on it’s way to me. So I looked at other new products I had on hand and decided to use Desert Details as a substitute – I think it works, and I really like the fun, light sentiments – all of which come from Desert Details Bundle.

Cut the card base in Petal Pink: add the Favored Flowers Designer Series Papers to the inside back and the front flap.
Cut the inside card panel and adhere to the card base, centering. I used Basic Black for card stock.
- Decorate the front of this panel with another piece of the Favored Flowers DSP
- Stamp the large flower from Desert Details stamp set in Petal Pink and die cut with Desert Details Dies.
- Cut a Basic Black circle with the Layering Circle Dies. Add the die cut flower with liquid glue. Add circle to the panel front.
- Stamp the sentiment banner in Memento Black ink using a sentiment from Desert Details stamp set. The strip is Basic White. Add over the flower with dimensionals.
- Add Wink of Stella to this flower to give the sparkle – just in the shaded areas.
For this inside panel: Basic White stamped with the sentiment in Petal Pink ink then stamp the smaller flower also in Petal Pink ink. Add this panel to the inside of the card – and done!

For the envelope, more of the Favored Flowers DSP for the flap and the same smaller flower from Desert Details stamp set in Petal Pink for the front. Wasn’t that easy & fun? A fun, Fun Fold! Dimensions to make this card are at the bottoms of this post.

Today is Day 2 of the LIVE CATALOG: Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog + the Jan-Feb Sale-a-bration Catalog. Have you placed your order? I had a long list and placed it yesterday – eek!

Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek At The Pond Hinge Fun Fold

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

Happy Happy 2023!I’ve been a bit out of the loop for a bit – hubby had surgery & my attention was all about that, then Christmas & family – and now, here we are. I hope you had a really good holiday, however you celebrate things. Ours was quieter, of course, but still wonderful. We are so blessed with wonderful family. – and hubby is improving every day. 👍🙏

My card today is a sneaky peek at one of the HOST stamp options for the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog, which will be available come Jan 5. And that’s just really soon! I’ve also used some DSP that is free with a qualifying order during the Jan-Feb Sale-a-bration period – Dainty Flowers DSP.

Isn’t this a cute, sassy frog? I’m going to name him Alfred – and no, I have no idea where that came from. 😀 You can see there are no flowers on this side of the Dainty Flowers DSP – it looks similar to watercolors – love, love. And the hinge flap has a sentiment from another new stamp set called Sending Support – also FREE with a qualifying order during Jan-Feb Sale-a-bration. I’ve die cut the sentiment with Stylish Shapes Dies. I extended the length of the die cut a bit to make the sentiment fit. But I’ll explain that.

Hinge Flap Fun Fold:

Cut card base 81/2 x 5 1/2 and score at 4 1/4 on the long side.
Trim off 1 1/2 from the long side; score this at 4 1/4
Adhere this strip to the card base about 3/4″ from bottom with the fold on the edge (I adhered it lower and don’t like where it is!) This is now your hinge flap!

Decorate:

Cut panels of DSP: front – 1 3/4 x 2 1/2; hinge flap – 1 1/4 x 4; inside – 1 3/4 x 4; envelope flap – 2 1/4 x 6
Cut Basic White panels: front – 2 1/2 x 4; inside 4 x 5 1/4; sentiment banner for hinge flap 1 1/4 x 3
On the front panel:
- Stamp the frog in Old Olive – this is a two-step stamp, so stamp the inner then the outline
- Stamp the log in Soft Suede – again aa two-step stamp, stamp the inner then then outline stamp
- Stamp the bee in Crushed Curry & Memento inks – CC for the wings, then the body in Memento
- Add this panel to the card front
On the inside panel:
- Add the 1 3/4 x 4 DSP to the far right edge
- Stamp the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink using the Sending Support stamp set
- Adhere this to the inside of the card, covering where the hinge flap is attached
On the hinge flap:
- Add DSP to the flap (1 1/4 x 4)
- Stamp the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink from Sending Support stamp set on the remaining Basic White strip
- Die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies: Die cut about 2/3 of length by placing the top cutting plate so it covers just 2/3 of die; run it through the die cutting machine; replace die to cover other end of stamped sentiment, matching or lining up die, then placing top cutting plate just over that area to be die cut, run it through the die cutting machine – and done!
- Attache die cut sentiment to hinge flap with dimensionals
Add Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to both hinge flap and card front

All that’s left to do now is the envelope & it is so easy…

Add 2 1/4 x 6 piece of Dainty Flowers DSP to the envelope flap & trim to fit
Stamp the small bees 3 times on envelope front in Crushed Curry ink using the At The Pond stamp set

Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls Fun Fold

Posted on December 9, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Oh my goodness… I received some preorder items from the Jan-April Mini Catalog along with a few Jan/Feb Sale-a-bration items and I’m having SO MUCH FUN! Today’s card features Dandy Designs DSP and the Adorable Owls stamp set from the Sale-a-bration catalog – AND it’s a super easy Fun Fold. Let’s take a peek…

Isn’t this little guy just the cutest! And the sentiment ‘Hoot! Hoot!’ is also from the Adorable Owls stamp set. Actually it’s a partial sentiment… meaning I used some retired Washi tape to cover the part I didn’t want to use. I also used some White 6×6 Glimmer Paper for the upper DSP. The other DSP is called Dandy Designs DSP and is a large pack of 30 sheets of 12×12. The dots are the reverse of the sideways stripes. :O) Let me share with you how to make this fun fold design…

Cut the card base (here it is Balmy Blue) 5 1/2 x 7 1/4 and score @ 4 1/4
Cut another panel of Balmy Blue 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 (that’s the front largest square)
Cut DSP:
- 2 3/4 x 5 1/4 (here I used the White 6×6 Glimmer Paper)
- 4 x 5 1/4 for inside panel
- 3 1/4 x 3 14
Adhere panels to the appropriate places with adhesive of choice.
Stamp the owl from Adorable Owls stamp set in Memento Black ink on Basic White panel
Color owl with Stampin’ Blends
- Light & Dark Soft Suede for the body of the owl
- Dark Daffodil Delight for the eyes
- Dark Basic Black – for the smaller portion of the eyes
- Light Basic Black for the beak + Color Lifter for highlighting
- Dark Pumpkin Pie for the bow tie
Chalk Marker (white) for the eye highlight
Die cut owl panel with Stylish Shapes Dies
Adhere owl to the square panel, centering, with dimensionals
Stamp the sentiment from Adorable Owls stamp set, covering unwanted portion, in Memento Black
Adhere to square panel with mini dimensionals. The right end of the sentiment will need stacked dimensionals
Adhere completed square to top panel only
Add Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems in Balmy Blue

For the inside… cut another Basic White Square 3 1/4 x 3 1/4. Stamp owl as listed above & color. Stamp sentiment using the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Memento Black ink. To adhere… open card, lay this panel on the upper panel right side down & upside down, centering it on the square. Add adhesive and close the bottom portion of the card on the piece. Bingo – attached properly 😀👍

For the envelope… more of the same Balmy Blue & White stripe pattern from Dandy Designs DSP – on the flap of course. I chose not to stamp anything on the envelope front. This card was sent already… to a man friend who recently had surgery. I hope he likes it – and he feels better too!

Now, what you need to know about this fun fold… this was a landscape design. It can also be portrait. I’ll share one of those in a couple of days 😁

The Balmy Blue and also the Basic White card stocks are part of the 2022-2023 Annual catalog. The Blends, Memento Black ink and Chalk Marker are in that same catalog as is Inspired Thoughts stamp set. The Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems and White Glimmer 6×6 are in the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog – as Real Red & White 6×6 Glimmer pack. These are all available for purchase through my online store (see below). If you do not have a demonstrator & need catalogs, please reach out to me.

If you would like to order any of the products to make this card from my online store or any other items, that’s really easy to do. And remember to use my current HOST CODE 4BGN9HG4 to earn credit from 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.

Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy Sympathy Fun Fold

Posted on November 21, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Monday to you. Sympathy cards are so very difficult and yet, necessary. Have I said that before? I tend to make sympathy cards for a specific person – and maybe that’s why it’s hard for me. I’m remembering the person who passed and get focused on the memories. So I struggle a bit. This card is in memory of a special woman, one who battled Lewey Body Dementia for six very long years. She and her husband have been so amazingly strong. And now her battle is over and she is at peace.

I’m using some new products from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog:the Something Fancy stamp set and coordinating Something Fancy Dies. Notice how Stampin’ Up! is now using same names for coordinating stamp sets & dies?! YAY, YAY! Thank you Stampin’ Up! Here is the stamp set & coordinating dies. I’m excited to have some wonderful banner/ sentiment dies.

And now my card…

Stampin' Up! Something Fancy Sympathy Fun Fold.1

Stampin' Up! Something Fancy Sympathy

Fun Fold.2

The DSP is Fitting Florets 12×12 DSP – available right now. It coordinates with the Framed Florets bundle – the Fitting Florets Collection. Let me tell you how to make this beautiful card.

Begin with a standard 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 card base and score on the long side 1″ and 4 1/4″. Fold back the 1″ area on itself. Decorate panels… I used the Fitting Florets DSP and also used the Quatrefoil Embossing Folder in two areas. The front embossed piece is 2 1/2 x 3 1/2. After embossing, it was adhered to a larger panel 2 3/4 x 3 3/4. I used one of the dies in the Framed Florets Dies to trim out a flower from the Fitting Florets 12×12 DSP. I stamped the sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set and die cut it with one of the dies in the Something Fancy Dies. I adhered the die cut floral bouquet to the front of this sentiment banner, put dimensionals on the back of both and attached it to the rectangle. The rectangle was adhered to the 1″ panel, centering in top to bottom. Really like this Quatrefoil EF as a backdrop for the sentiment & floral bouquet.

Stampin' Up! Something Fancy Sympathy Fun Fold, inside.2

For the inside on the left, a panel of the Fitting Florets 12×12 DSP. On the right a 1 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ strip embossed with the Quatrefoil Embossing Folder adhered to the far right edge. I then stamped the sentiment from Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Night of Navy ink. I added Adhesive-Backed Swirls~ and the card was done. I really like how this card turned out: beautiful for a beautiful woman.

Stampin' Up! Something Fancy Sympathy Fun Fold.5

For the envelope – super easy – more of the Fitting Florets DSP adhered to the envelope flap & trimmed to fit.

If you would like to order from my online store, that’s really easy to do. And remember to use my current HOST CODE 4GWG47JC to earn credit from 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.

Stampin’ Up! Fitting Florets Collection, Birthday Fun Fold

Posted on November 11, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s Friday and I’m off to a Stampin’ Up! Convention ~ headed to Jacksonville, FL. Yes, it should be raining but it may clear by mid day 😀 I’m taking a rain coat… Today’s card uses many of the items in the Fitting Florets Collection: Framed Florets and the coordinating Framed Florets Dies (notice how Stampin’ Up! ‘heard’ our pleas to use same titles for coordinating dies!), the Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls and the absolutely lovely Fitting Florets DSP. And ~ this is a fun fold.

Stampin' Up! Fitting Florets Collection. Birthday

This Fitting Florets DSP is simply gorgeous! And I especially love this particular pattern. I hated covering it with the beautiful Framed Florets Dies, but alas, it was necessary. I wanted to show off these beautiful framing dies. After die cutting in Basic White, this becomes two pieces – the center oval and the outside elaborate frame. I stamped the center oval with a sentiment from the Framed Florets in Evening Evergreen ink; adhered the outside frame to the DSP, centering it. I put dimensionals on the center oval and added it to the framed outline. I added the very pretty (and flat) Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls to highlight the sentiment. I debated and debated about adding more of the die cuts available, but I really liked the simplicity of this. The DSP was adhered to Balmy Blue card stock then to the Night of Navy A2 card front.

Stampin' Up! Fitting Florets Collection, Birthday.inside

For the inside, I took another piece of the Fitting Florets DSP and adhered it to the left side. I stamped the small leaf image and the berry ‘spray’ in Evening Evergreen ink and colored with Soft Succulent Blends for the leaves and Balmy Blue Blends for the ‘berries’. I also stamped the sentiment from the Fitting Florets stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink.

Next I created the ‘fun fold’ portion – and here’s how… cut a panel of Night of Navy card stock 4 3/4 x 8 and score at 2, 4, and 6.
Burnish well. Mark 2″ from the bottom on the right side. Trim from the top left corner to the 2″ mark on the right corner. Adhere panels from the Fitting Florets DSP cut at 1 7/8″. To get the correct angle on the DSP, prior to adhering…cut the panels 1 7/8 x 4 3/4 then lay down on table with the Night of Navy piece on top of it. With a ruler, mark the angle on the DSP. Trim 1/8″ off each bottom strip. Lay on top of card stock to see if any more trimming needs to be done, then adhere in place. This is called an Accordion Fun Fold.

Add far left panel to left side of inside of card, centering. I wanted my fun fold section to line up on the bottom with the DSP & Basic White panels. Adhere right section of the fold to the right inside panel. Here’s what it should look like looking down from the top.

Stampin' Up!
Fitting Florets Colloection, Birthday fun fold.3

Now decorate the rest of the inside to your desire. Here’s what I did… stamp the two smaller flowers on a Basic White scrap in Evening Evergreen ink using the Framed Florets stamp set. Color both with Stamp’ Blends in Soft Succulent; die cut with Framed Florets Dies. Die cut a small leaf from Gold Foil Sheets (I used a scrap. Adhere each with liquid glue as shown.

For the envelope… more of the same Fitting Florets DSP adhered to the envelope flap & trimmed to fit. I then stamped the larger of the two small flowers in Evening Evergreen ink and this time colored them with Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends. It matches the flowers in the DSP! I then stamped the leaves in Evening Evergrren ink and colored with Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends. They too, match the DSP 😊
