Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Triple Box Card

Posted on February 17, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! I’m still in my birthday week and folks have been so generous, both in sending cards and the giving of gifties. Of course, the best gift of all is the gift of friendship :O) Today’s card is just super cute – a triple box card. I may have done one of these in the past, but some time ago.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals Triple Box Card

Is this cute or what?! The Translucent Florals stamp set is a distinctive stamp set, which means it has lots of dimension in the stamp. And it prefers an ink pad that is not too inky. The flower is stamped in Fresh Freesia ink and the leaves are stamped in Parakeet Party ink – both stamps from the Translucent Florals stamp set. Each was die cut with the coordinating Translucent Florals Dies. I also used the Leaves Punch and Vellum to punch some background for the main flower. These are attached to a Basic White Hexagon Punched background, some with with Stampin’ Seal or liquid glue. The flower is on a dimensional in order to tuck the leaves and Vellum elements behind it. The double bow is made with Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack, Lemon Yellow & attached with a single glue dot to hold it in place.

The box itself is made with Berry Burst for the card base and Delightful Floral 12 x 12 DSP.

Card base: 8 1/4 x 4, scored at 2, 4, 6, & 8

Small boxes for front (2) – same color as card base: 8 1/4 x 2 scored at 2, 4, 6, 8

Mechanism to hold decorated element- same color as card base: 3 x 1/2 scored at 1/2, 1, 2, & 2 1/2

DSP (Designer Series Paper): (2) 3 3/4 x 1 3/4; (10) 1 3/4 x 1 3/4

Directions:

Burnish all score lines. See photos for reference
Add adhesive to smallest scored section, fold over and adhere. Do this for all three boxes.
Add DSP to inside of tallest box sections. This will be the inside back of the box.
Adhere one of the smaller boxes to the tall front box.
Adhere the other smaller box beside it.
Decorate fronts of all three boxes with the 1 3/4″ DSP – this will use six (6) pieces
Adhere shorter pieces of DSP to inside of smaller boxes – this will use the last four (4) 1 3/4″ squares.

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

Posted on February 13, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s the second Tuesday of the month and time for a hop :O) Our theme this month is ‘birthday’ and can be interpreted however we like. I have created a fun fold – and since this is my ‘big day today’, that’s kinda fun – like making my own birthday card. hahaha

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew Team Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Hot Air Balloon Center Pop-Up Fun Fold

Stampin' Up! Jungle Pals Center Pop-Up Fun Fold

I couldn’t help it, this fun fold is so fun to make I had to make another :O) The first is made with the Hot Air Balloon suite of products. The second card is made with the Jungle Pals bundle. It was a bit more time consuming due to the animals and all the coloring – but still worth it in every way. I’m going to walk you through the cutting of the card stock, then the decorating of the Hot Air Balloon Center Pop-Up card. I’ll be back later this week with directions for coloring the Jungle Pal animals.

Cutting the card base:

Base is 5 1/2 x 8. On the 8″ side, score at 2″ & 6″
On the 5 1/2″ side, line up on the Paper Trimmer at 1 1/4″ and cut between score lines only. Flip card and do the same at other end
On the 8″ side, line up on Paper Trimmer @ 3″ & 5″, score between cut lines only
On the 8″ side, line the paper @ 4″ on the Paper Trimmer, score above & below cut lines only

This is what your card base should look like after cutting & scoring. Yes, this is decorated with card stock to give you a better visual of what the cutting lines and scoring lines should look like.

Paper card cuts
- Designer Series Paper (DSP)
  - 2 cut at 1 7/8 x 5 3/8 (these are the long side panels)
  - 4 cut at 1 1/8 x 1 7/8 (these are the upper & lower center sections)
  - 2 1/4 x 6 for envelope flap
- Basic White
  - 1 7/8 x 2 7/8 (for center pop-up)
  - 2 cut at 1 7/8 x 5 3/8 (for back of card – long side panels for writing your message)
  - scrap for sentiment banner
For the Hot Air Balloon card:
- Card base is Balmy Blue
- DSP is Lighter Than Air 6×6 DSP from the Jan-Feb 2024 Mini Catalog + Subtles 6×6 DSP in Balmy Blue from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog
- Additional card stock: Bubble Bath, Balmy Blue and Pool Party
- Inks used: Bubble Bath, Balmy Blue, & Pool Party
- Embellishments: Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots

Here’s a photo of the card back & envelope. The panel on left shows die cut pieces using the Hot Air Balloon Dies. The panel on the right shows stamped images from the Hot Air Balloon stamp set.

The center pop-up section shows a balloon die cut directly from the Lighter Than Air DSP with the Hot Air Balloon Dies. The basket is also die cut directly from the DSP.

Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Gatefold card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on January 11, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy Thursday and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a color challenge today that’s extra fun – LOTS of color – and it works perfectly with the Bee Mine 12×12 DSP. I’ve also used the Bee My Valentine stamp set and coordinating Bee Builder Punch. Can you tell I like this set? I’ve used it quite a bit lately :O)

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine Gatefold front

Oh my goodness… I had such fun working with this Bee Mine 12 x 12 DSP. It just puts a smile on my face. The bee is too incredibly CUTE!

How to make this card… Cut the card base (Petal Pink) 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and score long side at 2 1/8; burnish. Fold opposite end of card to meet the folded in side – that is the gatefold! Easy right? Now decorate. I used Basic Black for the background of the DSP, then the DSP layers on both folded in card fronts. And notice, the gatefold is on it’s side, so landscape like after folding.In other words it’s important to realize which direction the card will open for the directional DSP!

I next created the belly band. It is 7/8 x 11 since I had to 12″ card stock (bummer!) But it worked!!! I simply gently folded the band so it met in the middle (wrapping it around the card) and lightly burnished. I cut of piece of Basic Black to cover this ‘not quite meeting together’ strip (4 1/8 x 3/4) and adhered it in place – it’s just for the front after all. I cut the Bee Mine 12x 12 DSP 5/8 x 4 and adhered it in place. To create the central design, I pulled out the More Dazzle 6×6 SDSP and with the Hexagon Punch, punched. It looks like a honeycomb cell :O). Next I punched another hexagon from basic white and trimmed it down a bit. I stamped the sentiment in Petal Pink ink using the Bee My Valentine stamp set and adhered it with liquid glue to the More Dazzle hexagon. To make certain it adhered well, I placed an acrylic block on top while I created the bee.

I stamped the bee body from Bee My Valentine stamp set with Daffodil Delight ink on a Basic White scrap, then the stripes for the bee body in Memento ink. I stamped the cute face in Memento ink as well – then punched it out with the Bee Builder Punch. I stamped the antennae in Memento ink – also from the Bee My Valentine stamp set and punched it out with another section of the Bee Builder Punch, adhered it in place. I stamped the wings in Petal Pink ink on a scrap of Petal Pink card stock and punched. I punched another set of wings from vellum and added them over top of the stamped wings, and attached both to the bee with glue dots. I adhered the bee to the hexagon and attached this to the belly band with dimensionals. I added the Hearts & Flowers embellishments in Pool Party. I added a bit of Wink of Stella as well but it doesn’t show in the photos. Cute, cute.

For the inside of the card, I took a piece of Basic White and stamped it with this whimsical ‘line’ the bee makes when it flies. Yep, from Bee My Valentine stamp set. I stamped the sweet hearts from the same stamp set in Pool Party ink, stamped off once. This was adhered in place inside the card. Done, done.

For the envelope I did the same stamping as inside the card and more Bee Mine DSP on the flap, trimmed to fit. I had such fun making this card – just kept smiling the entire time :O)

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! Love is in the Air for Amy’ Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Posted on January 9, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Tuesday! Hope your day/ week is going well. We have a blog hop today as part of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew :O) The theme is LOVE – any way we want to interpret that and I’ve created a ‘missing middle’ card.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine DSP.Missing Middle card

Isn’t this fun? In that open area I’ve stamped my sentiment – it’s where the card front ‘middle’ is missing :O)

This is so incredibly easy to make and the fun part is, the ‘missing middle’ can be larger or smaller, and the connecting section can also be different. I started with a 4 1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White and scored it at 5 1/2. I removed two sections from one end 2 x 4 1/4. Since the theme is LOVE and I really like this plaid paper of the Bee Mine DSP, that became the two focal sections and the bee with the hearts became my center focal point.

Card cuts:

Sweet Sorbet: 1 7/8 x 4 1/8 (cut 2); 1 3/8 x 4 1/8 – add to Thick Basic White sections appropriately
Bee Mine 12 x 12 DSP: 1 3/4 x 4 (cut 2- one in plaid, one w/ bee); 1 1/4 x 4 in plaid – adhere to proper sections

Directions:

Fold card panel on score line and line up larger plaid panel even with bottom of card
Put dimensionals on backside of the bee panel, both top & bottom, attach to closed card front approximately 1/2″ from left edge and equidistant top & bottom – & voila! In retrospect, it should probably have been closer to the left edge. I tried to move it over but it was adhered tightly!
With the Bee My Valentine stamp set, stamp the sentiment in Memento ink with the card in the closed position
Add embellishments – here they are the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers in Sweet Sorbet

Stampin' Up! Missing middle card view from inside

Stampin' Up! Middle Missing card sentiment panel

In the far left photo you can see how the top portion of the card looks from the inside. In the right photo is the sentiment panel. I attached another plaid piece of the Bee Mine DSP (5/8 x 4) to a Sweet Sorbet (3/4 x 4 1/8) and then to the inside of the card. This brings the color to the inside of the card and provides a ‘connecting color scheme’ to the card. Fun, fun!

Stampin' Up! Missing Middle Bee Mine DSP card

For the envelope, more of the Bee Mine DSP on the flap and a fussy cut bee peeking around the corner adhered to the front. :O) Love, love.

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! Kraft Note Card as Pop Up Shadow Box

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

Good Friday morning! Ok, December 1 it is and the countdown begins to Christmas or end of year 2023. I hosted a card class yesterday and we have been making cards with the Kraft Note Card & box set. I shared the box some time ago, but I think not this shadow-box card. Click here to see the box post. We used the Fruitful Blessings bundle (includes coordinating dies), Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder, several Stampin’ Blends, Vellum, Deckled Circles Dies, O Holy Night DSP, Wild Wheat and Old Olive card stock.

Stampin' Up! Kraft Note Card Pop-Up Shadow Box, front

From the front it is not obvious this is a shadow box card. And, I’ve used two note cards adhered together to make this work. For the front, here’s what we did…

Stamp the image: acorns w/ leaves & additional acorn using the Fruitful Blessings stamp set & Memento ink on Basic White card stock.
Color the acorns with Wild Wheat & Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends. Color the leaves with Stampin’ Blends Old Olive.
Die cut a few leaves from Old Olive card stock using the Fruitful Blessings Dies.
Die cut a circle from Vellum using the Deckled Circles Dies (these may be found as part of the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES).
Die cut stamped images using Fruitful Blessings Dies.
Run a panel of Wild Wheat through the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder.

The Kraft Note cards are 7 x 5 scored @ 3 1/2. Score again @ 6 1/2. Take another Kraft Note Card and cut to just shy of 4 x 5 and score @ 1/2 at each long side. Adhere the two note card together so they measure 5 x 10 1/2 and score marks appear @ 3 1/2, 6 1/2, 7 & 10. Adhere Tear n Tape between score mark 10 to end of card @ 10 1/2. Die cut 3rd full panel with the Nested Essentials Dies. (For this card I used the Nested Essentials Dies, but would prefer the Countryside Corners Dies.)

I got too excited aboput putting this together that I didn’t take enough photos!!! But here’s the inside. On the 2nd panel is the O Holy Night DSP cut just slightly less than 3 1/2 x 5. The stamped image is from Fruitful Blessings stamped on Basic White, colored with various Stampin’ Blends and adhered in place. Colors are: Wild Wheat, Light Pumpkin Pie, Light Copper Clay, Dark Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, and Orchid Oasis. After adhering this colored piece in place, remove seal on Tear n Tape, close card so this adheres to the back of the card front. The single acorn die cut & the acorn w/ leaves were done same as the card front. The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso ink using the Fruitful Blessings stamp set. The finished card will look like this from a top view.

The finished envelope… more of the O Holy Night DSP for the flap and this wonderful leaf image stamped in Old Olive ink from Fruitful Blessings stamp set.

The class LOVED this card. The images are just wonderful and could be used any time of year – fall or spring.

Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Fun Fold

Posted on October 23, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! I played with a very fun set for this card, one I haven’t used in a while ~ Merriest Trees Bundle. I also used a coordinating DSP called A Walk In The Forest 12×12 DSP. The reason it coordinates is because the tree dies can be used to die cut trees from the DSP :O) – love this!

See that gorgeous tree on the flap? That is cut from the DSP, A Walk In The Forest. The string of lights and the star at the tree top are die cut using the Merriest Trees Dies and Holographic Trio Specialty DSP with Adhesive Sheets applied to the back for easy adhering to the die cut tree (just peel & stick!) The ornaments are stamped in Berry Burst ink on Basic White with the Merriest Trees stamp set, then die cut with the appropriate die from the Merriest Trees Dies. They are attached to the tree with mini dimensionals – they just fit!!! I die cut an extra tree in Basic White to adhere to the back of the DSP die cut tree – for uniformity & strength. The tree is adhered directly to the flap. The packages on the lower front of the card are stamped in Berry Burst ink and pretty Peacock ink using stamps stamps & dies from the Merriest Trees bundle. The packages are adhered directly to the panel and the bow is on a mini dimensional. Let’s see, the Basic White background has been run through the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder after stamping in Pretty Peacock ink with a sentiment from Merriest Trees stamp set. Here’s a better photo of the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Merriest Tree Fun Fold, decorated

Stampin' Up! Merriest Tree Fun Fold card & envelope

For the envelope – you can see the Basic White embossed panel is already adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the envelope front I stamped the sentiment from Merriest Trees in Berry Burst ink. Another Christmas card ready to go! I think it’s time I count card prepped, what do you think?

Isn’t this a FUN CARD? I really like how it turned out. The color combination is a bit different – Berry Burst with Lost Lagoon & Pretty Peacock, but I think it looks good.

Stampin’ Up! Swing & Sway w/ Handcrafted Elements Dies

Posted on October 21, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Saturday morning! Goodness, did we have RAIN yesterday! And while it was raining, I was crafting, at least some of the time. :O) The ‘big deal’ these days is a Swing & Sway card & I had JUST gotten the Handcrafted Elements Dies – and there is this gorgeous ornament die I HAD to use. So – here ya go…

Stampin' Up! Handcrafted Ornaments Dies.1

Is this ornament pretty or what! It was die cut using the Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green 12×12 Foil Sheets – l-o-v-e. The card base is Very Vanilla, which softens the boldness of the ornament. The sentiment panel is stamped in Melon Mambo ink using the Stars At Night stamp set and die cut with a die from Stars At Night Dies :O) The embossed panels are done with the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder. There’s a single Glossy Dots Assortment in Melon Mambo at the top of the ornament. Here’s how we put this together:

“Very Vanilla card stock 5 1/2 x 10 1/4 scored at 4 1/4, 7 1/4, 9

Stampin' Up! Swing & Sway card score lines

Cut three panels of Very Vanilla 1 x 5 1/4 and run through the Distressed Tile EF. Add these to card base: one on the inside panel near edge, centering it top to bottom; another on the fold (as shown, near score line & centering top/ bottom; and lastly to front panel, centering it. Refer to top photo
Die Cut ornament from Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green 12×12 Foil Sheets and adhere together
Cut a Very Vanilla strip 1/2 x 2; die cut hole close to top with Tailor Made Tags Dies
Stamp sentiment with Melon Mambo ink using the Stars At night stamp set; die cut with appropriate die from Stars at Night Dies.
Add mini dimensional to front panel, allowing room for sentiment panel & ornament + swaying mechanism
Adhere ornament to swaying mechanism

Above you see all the parts.

Above the ornament & swaying mechanism are in place. It does not get adhered to anything – or it would not sway, right?! Remove cover on mini dimensional and adhere sentiment panel to this with additional dimensionals on the sentiment banner to hold it securely. Refer to top photo again.

With the card pretty much completed, decorate the inside. I die cut two stars using the Handcrafted Elements Dies and the same Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green 12×12 Foil Sheets. I stamped another sentiment using the Stars At Night stamp set and melon Mambo ink.

Stampin' Up! Handcrafted Ornaments Dies card, inside

For the envelope, I wanted simplicity – the card is elegant. I embossed another panel of the Very Vanilla card stock (2 1/4 x 6) with the same Distressed Tile Embossing Folder and adhered it to the flap & trimmed it to fit. Done! This is a gorgeous card and so simple to do. If you didn’t want to do a fun fold, simply do a regular card, emboss a slightly smaller panel for the front and follow the same procedure for the swaying mechanism and ornament. OR… say something else… a bear maybe? I think I must try that… :O)

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! 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

Stasmpin' Up! Pop-Out Gate Fold basic form

Stampin' Up! Pop-Out Gate Fold from the top

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 side DSP panels

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.

Thanks for stopping by today. Now it’s time to hop along to see what others have created. Click on the next button or name to get you where you want to go. ENJOY!
