Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on April 20, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

We have a fun theme challenge today for our scheduled weekly hop – outdoors!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

This is a fun fold… hmmm what do we call this? Side fold? I don’t know. but let me tell you how to make this…

The card base is cut 8 1/4 x 4 1/4 and scored on the long side at 5 1/2. I used the new Misty Moonlight for the base. It has just a hint of gray in it. And it’s perfect for a sailing card :O) I cut a panel of the Sun Prints DSP in stripe 2 1/2 x 4 (yep, it’s retiring and I’m trying to use it!). This was adhered to the left front fold. I wrapped a length of Baker’s Twine (carrying over!) from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack in Crumb Cake around it twice and tied a knot, which I adhered with a glue dot right at the knot. For the inside, I added a piece of another design but also from Sun Prints DSP, to the right inside of the card base (4 1/8 x 5 3/8). THEN… I cut Basic White card stock 7 1/4 x 3 1/2 and scored it at 3 5/8. This becomes the right-sided fold that flips over the front left panel of the card base. I stamped the two sentiments in Misty Moonlight ink (new!) from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set (retiring!) I then added this basic white folded piece to the card base, as shown.

Stampin' Up! Let's Set Sail fun. fold, left side

For the front of that Basic White addition , I added another piece of the Sun Prints DSP (retiring!) to the front of that fold. It was cut 3 3/8 x 3 3/8. Now to decorate that square… Using the Stylish Shapes Dies largest circle, I die cut a piece of the Hues of Happiness DSP (yep, retiring). I stamped the bird image from Let’s Set Sail in Memento ink, then added that circle with dimensionals. Now… the sailboat :O), the boat was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink; the sails were stamped in Crushed Curry ink, then punched with the Sailboat Builder Punch. I added the boat directly to the circle, then attached the sails with mini dimensionals. And guess what, the card was done.

Stampin' Up! Let's Set Sail card & envelope for the Thur hop

For the envelope… more of the Sun Prints DSP on the flap trimmed to fit and another narrow strip added to the bottom of the envelope front. This is yet another great masculine card for my stash – yay!

My demonstrator order of new products arrived from Stampin’ Up! late last night. Somehow it got ‘lost in the shuffle’ and finally arrived. I cannot WAIT TO PLAY!!! What will I play with first? Probably the daisies… I’m a daisy FAN! :O) But who knows?

Time to move on in the hop… click the ‘next’ button to visit Carol, or click on a name if you want to skip around. Enjoy!

Stampin' Up! Hand Penned Fun Fold, inside

This is a great card to show off both sides of the Designer Series Paper. In this case, that is Perfectly Penciled DSP (retiring). I’ve coordinated the Hand Penned stamp set (retiring) and the Penned Flowers Dies (retiring), Polished Pink card stock (retiring), Polished Pink & Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends (retiring) + the Open Weave Ribbon in Pale Papaya (retiring). Yep – I loaded this card with retiring items :O)

What is not retiring that is used on this card are the Old Olive Stampin’ Blends (still a great buy when you order $75 & up of product on FREE SHIPPING day), Basic White card stock, Memento ink, Basic White Medium Envelopes. Did I forget anything?

So the ‘how to’ to make this card.

Begin with your Perfectly Penciled DSP cutting it 5 1/4 x 12 and scoring on the long side @ 2, 4, 8, and 10″. Measure down from the top on each end, 2 5/8″ and place a mark on the edge. Now trim from the 4″ score line to the 2 5/8″ mark on the left side. Do the same on the right side, trimming from the 8″ score down to the 2 5/8″ mark. Adhere those pieces to each corner edge (see the dotted pattern in each bottom corner? Burnish the folds completely.

Cut a backing card base (in this case Polished Pink) 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and adhere to the back of the DSP. This creates strength for the card.

Stampin' Up! Hand Penned fun fold, back of card

Cut another piece in Polished Pink 2 1/2 x 2 1/2. Adhere this panel with corner points on the burnished score line, with adhesive on the left side only. Adhere a Basic White panel cut to 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 to the Polished Pink square. Now decorate!

For decoration… Using the Hand Penned stamp set, I stamped this fun floral image in Memento ink on Basic White, colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Polished Pink, Pale Papaya and Old Olive. I die cut the image with the coordinating Penned Flower Dies and attached it to the Basic White square with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap – yes, also from Hand Penned stamp set – and fussy cut it. This was attached with dimensionals as well. I tied a bow with the Open Weave Ribbon in Pale Papaya and attached it with a glue dot. Front, done!

For the inside.. the Basic White panel is cut 3 3/4 x 5. I wanted to be certain when stamping the inside, that nothing showed when the card was closed. I ‘eyeballed’ a bit lower than center and stamped the sentiment from Hand Penned stamp set in memento ink. I then stamped the flowers, also from Hand Penned stamp set, in Polished Pink ink. I attached this panel to the inside – and voila! a fun fold and gorgeous!

Stampin' Up! Hand Penned fun fold, card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Perfectly Penciled DSP to the flap, trimmed to fit. For the front… a sweet stamped flower in Polished Pink ink from the Hand Penned stamp set.

I want to see what you create with this fun fold, retiring DSP or new. Enjoy creating!

Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day.

Make someone happy sending them a handmade card filled with love.

Stampin’ Up! TriFold Shutter Card

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

Happy Friday! Fun folds are just that, fun. And sometimes easier than they look. I’m sharing a trifold shutter card today that really is quite easy and is a real “show off”. It’s a card within a card. :O) I’ve used Fancy Flora DSP (again!) as it has what I call, a continuous pattern. To coordinate with that, I also used the Two-Tone Flora stamp set and it’s coordinating Two-Tone Dies.

Stampin' Up! Trifold Shutter Card with DSP

This begins with a full length of card stock 11 x 5 1/2, scored on the long side at 1 3/4, 3 1/2, 5 1/4 and 7. I used Petal Pink card stock for this. Burnish the score lines: mountain, valley, mountain and valley. The next step is to place this on the paper trimmer with the short side to the top and at 1 1/4. Cut from the 1 3/4 score line to the 5 1/4 score line. Turn it over and do the same on the other side. It should look like this.

Cut Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper: it’s helpful to use a DSP that has a continuous pattern and this works really well. Remove 1″ from the top of the 6×6 piece. With the long side at top, cut four pieces 1 1/2 x 5, keeping them in order. Adhere pieces 1 & 4 to the first & fourth panels of the card stock. With the bottom end of the two remaining pieces, trim to 1″ and attach to panels 2 & 3, following the continuing pattern. Turn around and with top of those two strips, cut 1″ from top. Attach those to the tops of panels 2 & 3. That leaves centers of panels 2 & 3 blank. Making certain to follow the continuous pattern of the DSP, trim the remaining piece that coordinates with panel 3. It should measure 1 1/2 x 2 1/2. Now cut a 2 3/4 square with a coordinating card stock. I chose Soft Suede. Cut another piece of Soft Suede 7 1/2 x 5, score on long side @ 3 3/4. Burnish and add to back 4″ panel of the Petal Pink card base. This is what makes the card within a card.

Stampin' Up! Trifold Shutter card in steps

Cut a piece of Basic White 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 (cut 2) for the additional card panels. Cut a piece of Basic White 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 for the very front of the card. Adhere this square to the 2 3/4″ square.

Stamp the two panels that are 3 1/2 x 4 3/4: one is for the inside of the back card, while the other is for it’s front. Use Soft Suede ink to stamp the sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set and add to the ‘back’ card front. On the other panel, same size, stamp the flower from Two-Tone Flora stamp set, in stamped off Calypso Coral ink. Stamp the detail of that flower with full strength Calypso Coral ink. Adhere both to the appropriate panels.

Stampin' Up! Trifold Shutter card.. full length

Stampin' Up! Trifold Shutter Card with inside card

Notice another panel of DSP on the opposite side of the stamped panel – yep.. that’s a piece of the Fancy Flora DSP, but the reverse side :O) All that’s left to do now is decorate the 2 1/2″ square on the card front. On a scrap of Basic White, stamp the flower from Two-Tone Flora stamp set in stamped-off Calypso Coral ink. Stamp the more details flower patten with full strength Calypso Coral ink. Die cut the flower with Two-Tone Flora Dies. Stamp two sets of leaves in Evening Evergreen ink as it coordinates with the DSP :O). Die cut with Two-Tone Flora Dies. Attach the two leaf sets to the back of the flower with dimensionals. See photo.

Add more dimensionals to the back of the flower. Attach a length of the Open Weave Ribbon in Soft Succulent to the Basic White square. Attach flower over the ribbon to the Basic White square of the card front. With the card closed, add three large Iridescent Pastel Gems in Calypso Coral, then two small Iridescent Pastel Gems in Calypso Coral.

Stampin' Up! Trifold Shutter Card with Fancy Flora

For the envelope… more Fancy Flora DSP to the envelope flap. For the envelope front, stamp the same flower from Two-Tone Flora stamp set with stamped-off Calypso Coral ink, and the detail stamp with full strength Calypso Coral ink. DONE!!!

This DSP is retiring and it’s stunning. The ribbon is also retiring, as is Soft Suede card stock & ink, and Evening Evergreen ink. The Iridesent Pastel Gems are also retiring.

Stampin’ Up! By the Bay Fun Fold + Designer Series Paper Share Info

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

Good Wednesday morning! We have beautiful weather temps today, but there is a brush fire somewhere making everything very smoky :O( Ugh. My card today is using a retiring DSP, By the Bay and a carrying over product Something Fancy stamp set & it’s coordinating Something Fancy Dies. And… I’m frustrated… my box of new goodies from Stampin’ Up! is ‘stuck’ somewhere and has yet to be delivered. But this By the Bay is just stunning Designer Series Paper. So let’s take a look at the card ~ and I’ll get past this disappointment.

This begins with a Balmy Blue card base 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2. With the long side up, remove 2 3/4 of the length. Set that piece aside as it becomes that front extended panel :O) Begin layering… Basic White 2 1/2 x 4 on the front left panel and on the set aside piece (cut 2). Layer on that the By the Bay DSP cut 2 1/4 x 3 3/4 (cut 2). What I did here was use the shell pattern for the front and the reverse side of the DSP for the side panel. I wrapped a length of the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack in Crumb Cake around the front panel and tied a bow. I then die cut a Balmy Blue using the Something Fancy Dies, put dimensionals on it and secured it over the twine. I secured the bow in place with a glue dot. I stamped the sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set on a Basic White piece with Balmy Blue ink and die cut it with the next smaller die from Something Fancy Dies. This was adhered with dimensionals to the Balmy Blue banner. I then took this completed front panel and attached it only on the left side to the left front of the card.

Stampin' Up! By the Bay Fun Fold, inside

For the inside… I stamped the sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set in Balmy Blue ink on the Basic White panel (4 x 5 14), making certain it would not peek out from behind the front flap of the card.. I adhered this in place with my adhesive of choice, green glue. You can certainly use Stamp[in’ Seal if that is your preference. Once in place, I closed the front of the card and added these Balmy Blue Solid Faceted Gems (retiring!)

Stampin' Up! By the Bay Fun Fold card & envelope

On the Envelope… more of the By the Bay DSP on the flap trimmed to fit and the card/ envelope are ready to send. This goes out to my hubby’s sister who is recovering from a stroke.

Stampin’ Up! Fancy Flora Step Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Welcome to the hop! This is a talented group of folks with whom I am privileged to participate. And this week we have a color challenge!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 3/6

Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Color Challenge 3/6

The colors I chose were Orchid Oasis, Calypso Coral , and Soft Succulent . Plus of course, the Fancy Flora DSP that brings it all together. Here’s my Step Fun Fold.

I used Orchid Oasis as the card base, cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. I also used the Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP for the main focus. I wanted a continuity, all of it cut to piece together like a puzzle. And, I think it worked! I also stamped the flower in Calypso Coral ink and the leaves in Soft Succulent ink for the ferny kind of leaves, and Evening Evergreen ink for the 2 leaves. I used the Two-Tone Flora stamp set & Two-Tone Flora Dies to create the flowers & leaves. The sentiment is stamped using the Something Fancy stamp set with Orchid Oasis ink on a Basic White panel and die cut with the Something Fancy Dies. I added three small Pearl Basic Jewels around the die cut flower for a bit of femininity.

It stands like this…

Stampin' Up! Step Fun Fold.hop 3/6,side view

This is a side view when standing, so you can see how it folds and makes a ‘step’. It’s super easy, you just must be extra careful making the cuts correctly and the score lines. The template below should guide you.

It’s easier to show a template with score lines and cuts than to explain it. Here that is… dotted lines are score lines. You may need to enlarge this to see it better :O)

On the back of the card is Basic White panel stamped using the Two-Tone Flora stamp set and Orchid Oasis ink. Please understand, there are two places this panel could be placed: on the back as I did here, or on the inside. Since this card was going to my hubby’s sister, he got to choose the placement :O)

Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Book Fold

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

Good Sunday morning – actually, Palm Sunday morning. Spring is definitely in the air. I ordered several Hellebores (Lenten Rose) and they arrived this week. It’s been too cold at night to plant them yet (30 degrees) and it’s best to try to acclimate plants a bit at a time anyway. Yesterday it was 60 degrees so I took them outside is a shaded sun area, then was able to leave them overnight as temps didn’t go too low. I was able to do the same with coleus I had rooted from last years plants then potted – and they look super this morning.

You did not join me to talk about plants… this is another book fold with By the Bay 6×6 Specialty DSP ( I was on a roll) but I used a seashell pattern and paired it with Friends are like Seashells bundle. Love this bundle & I’m sad it’s going away… but it is time to make room for new :O) I also used the Lasting Label Punch for the sentiment banner and Faux Sea Glass Shapes to decorate the banner – all of which will be retiring as of May 1. Don’t you love those Sea Glass Shapes?!

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells book fold

For this card I began with Night of Navy cut 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2 & 6 3/4. I adhered the section to the card back between 5 1/2 & 6 3/4 to create the book fold, then decorated the front panels. See the image below for how it should look.

Stampin' Up! Book Fold w/ Friends Are like Seashells

First a layer of Balmy Blue then a layer of the By the Bay 6×6 DSP. I pulled out the Friends Are Like Seashells bundle for the sentiment and a coordinating shell. I stamped the sentiment in Coastal Cabana ink on Basic White, punched it with the Lasting Labels Punch, then used a Coastal Cabana Marker to decorate the edge. For even more sea-likeness, I added the Faux Sea Glass Shapes. Aren’t they fun? I stamped the sea shell in Sahara Sand ink on another Basic White piece & die cut it with the Seaside Seashells Dies. I added the decorated label to the card front with dimensionals, then the seashell right beside it, also on dimensionals. Really & truly, the DSP does all the work on this card.

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells inside

For the inside I kept it really simple… a strip of the DSP on the Basic White panel and that was it. Since the inside panel is only 4 x 4, there is not a lot of room, and with a sentiment as is on the front, a personal note is usually needed.

Stampin' Up! Friendas Are Like Seashells card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the By the Bay 6×6 Specialty DSP on the flap and then some fun seashells from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set on the front: inks used were Coastal Cabana, Night of Navy & Balmy Blue, bringing out like colors of the DSP on the card front.

These are all retiring products: the By the Bay Specialty DSP, Friends Are Like Seashells bundle and the Fancy Label Punch and will go away as of May 1. As with all things retiring, there is a retiring list for both the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog AND the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog. These items are available while supplies last… and the sale beings 4 April through 1 May.

Stampin’ Up! By the Bay Book Fold Card

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

Good morning folks! It’s Saturday… and I have a masculine card for you using the By the Bay Designer Series Paper. This is for a gentleman who just had a hip replacement and is struggling with being able to do things. Thankfully he just began rehab, but he’s a bit ‘under the weather’ you might say. He’s a really big man and that’s part of the trouble… moving isn’t easy. So, a card for encouragement!

Isn’t this paper pretty? It’s also masculine and that helps me keep it simple. I really like how these papers coordinate and in corporate other shades of blue and bring in Sahara Sand and some sparkly as well. I used Wisteria Wishes stamp set for the sentiment and Night of Navy ink. To die cut, I used two dies from Something Fancy Dies (carrying over!) and die cut the larger in Night of Navy and the sentiment is Basic White. I wrapped Linen thread around each end of the Basic White piece (this fellow is a sailing friend and it fits), tied knots then added it to the Night of Navy piece with dimensionals. Then onto the card base with liquid glue. I added Sea Glass embellishments to tie in the colors of the DSP.

So… book fold how to:

Card base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored @ 5 1/2 and 6 3/4. Burnish the score lines
Add adhesive to the area between score lines and secure to the unscored section of the card. And there you have it, the book fold!

My card base is Balmy Blue – a carry over color. :O) The layers on the card are Night of Navy (carry over color) and the DSP. I’ll put the measurements at the bottom of the post. For the inside Idid not add the layer of Night of Navy, but did add a 5/8 strip of the By the Bay DSP to the Basic
White panel.

Stampin' Up! By the Bay book fold, inside

This inside leaves plenty of room for words of personal encouragement for this gentleman. For the envelope, I again kept it really simple… more By the Bay DSP on the envelope flap and that was it. This man does not want fussy.

Pear Pizzazz
Mint Macaron

Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Hello everyone! It’s that time of week… for the blog hop!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday hop.3/23

Spring is in the air… daffodils are up as are Star Flower, crocus, Narcissus. Hellebores are really showing off (that’s a Lenten Rose if you didn’t know). And temps are rising, sort of… lots of wind – you know March! And here’s my card, a fun fold. It’s an off-set gatefold is what it is. And I really like the offset business.

This card begins with Balmy Blue card stock, scored on both ends, just not evenly 😀 Next I added Mango Melody adhered to each panel, then Rain or Shine DSP on top of that.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain, inside

Moving to the inside of the card, I adhered Rain or Shine DSP to each end panel. I then added Mango Melody to the center panel, I then took a piece of Basic White and stamped the sweet flowers at the bottom using the Playing in the Rain stamp set & Memento ink. I colored the flowers with Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Blends, I stamped the raindrops, again from Playing in the Rain, in Balmy Blue ink. The sentiment also comes from Playing in the Rain and is stamped in Balmy Blue ink. This panel was adhered in the center panel and the inside was complete.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain fun fold with belly band

To make the belly band I cut a strip of Mango Melody in 1 x 91/4, wrapped it around the card loosely and adhered the ends together in the front. I removed the strip & burnished the folds of the band. I die cut a circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies and another piece of the Rain or Shine DSP. I die cut a slightly smaller circle in Basic White for strength and adhered it to the back of the circle. This was adhered with glue to the belly band, covering the glued ends. I die cut directly from the Rain or Shine DSP, this sweet fox with the umbrella and adhered it with dimensionals to the circle.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain fun fold card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Rain or Shine DSP for the flap; stamped flowers ( Memento ink) and rain drops (Balmy Blue ink) from Playing in the Rain stamp set ~ and the card & envelope were done! Such a cute card!!!

Stampin’ Up! DSP Fun Fold

Posted on March 17, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning… oh wait, that needs to be read with a bit of Irish brogue… good Fridee mornin’ 😀 Happy St. Patty’s day 👍. I have three fun cards for you today – pretty much made the same, just with different Designer Series Papers. The first is the Hello, Irresistible DSP from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and the Irresistible Bloom Bundle.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Bundle, inside

Hello, Irresistible DSP, Fine Shimmer Paper in gold, Soft Sea Foam and Flirty Flamingo for the card back… + the Irresistible Blooms Bundle for the Flowers and leaves. You can see in the photo showing the inside of the card how the DSP shows off. Loose Frosted Dots were added for glam.

Stampin' Up! Happy Forest Friends inside

Happy Forest Friends DSP is the show-off on this card. Additions to make it: Smoky Slate & Fine Shimmer Paper thin strips, Happier than Happy Bundle (butterfly & sentiment) and a bit of Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack in Crumb Cake. So Saffron card stock was used for card back.

Stampin' Up! Happy Forest Friends DSP without wrap

Stampin' Up! Happy Forest Friends DSP, no wrap, inside

Here again, the show-off is the Happy Forest Friends DSP, but without folding it back on itself.. & it shows off the back of the DSP when opening the card. So Saffron for the card back & Soft Suede for the sentiment banner + the Essential Tag Punch. Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added to the tag. These are such fun cards to have on hand to add sentiments to when needed. And here’s how to do cards 1 & 2.

Cut DSP 5 1/2 x 6, score on long side (with scene right side up) @ 1/2 on left and 4 1/2 on right end. Burnish. TIP: this creates a card front 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and is best with any DSP that has a ‘scene’.
Add card back (4 3/16 x 5 1/2) to 1/2 end of DSP. Best way to do this is to add adhesive to the 1/2″ end of DSP (inside) & slip card back in the fold and close the card front.
Add the two 1/2″ strips to inside of the right end of the DSP
Add adhesive to back of strips & back of DSP on right end and fold to front on burnish. This shows the back side of the DSP which coordinates so well with the card front. When opening the card, the ‘back’ of the DSP adds a great pattern for the inside of the card.
Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 added to card for writing. A 1/2″ strip of the DSP was added to further show the DSP

Card 3 was even simpler, with the entire card front showing the DSP without it folding back on itself. I still used the same DSP size 5 1/2 x 6 and scored @ 1 1/4, making certain when scoring the ‘scene’ is right side up 😀And the card back was So Saffron 4 3/16 x 5 1/2.

Here are the three cards with envelopes – great variety with same basic template. Love how the ‘scene’ of the DSP is the primary focus – at least in the last two cards. This does show you how to give variety to a basic layout. To see another card with this same layout, please look here.

Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Park Gatefold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on March 9, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

.Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! You may come from the creative Tara or simply hopped in here. However you arrived, we’re glad you came. We have a color challenge today and when I saw the challenge I immediately went to my DSP stash to see what ‘fit the bill’. I hope you like the card.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park Gatefold. hop 3/9

The only color missing in this Designer Series Paper is Coastal Cabana ~ and the paper is called Regency Park 6×6 DSP. I’ve used Petal Pink as my card base with Night of Navy on each of the side panels under the Designer Series Paper. The focal point is the decoration on the belly band. I first die cut the larger piece in Night of Navy, then die cut several flowers: Night of Navy, Basic White and a single Petal Pink. Once I adhered the small flowers to the Night of Navy , I die cut a Basic White piece to add the sentiment. The sentiment comes from Sentimental Park stamp set and is stamped in Night of Navy ink. I adhered this piece to the Night of Navy decorated piece with Stampin’ Seal, slipping it under the flowers. It worked perfectly. I then added a bow with the Bordered Ribbon, which is Night of Navy. After making the bow I trimmed down the center of the ribbon so that it looked softer. I adhered this to the sentiment panel with a glue dot.

Back to the card base… cut at 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, I score on the long side at 2 1/8, then fold the opposite side over to meet it. Sometimes when I score each long side at 2 1/8, there is a gap, and I didn’t want that. Night of Navy panels were added to each small panel, then a piece of the Regency Park was adhered over that. Because the belly band is the show piece on this card, I completed that by wrapping a 1 x 9 1/2 strip of Night of Navy around the card, overlapping in front and securing the ends together with Stampin’ Seal. I added the decorated sentiment banner to the front (right on the 1″ strip) with Stampin’ Seal. I removed the completed belly band to finish the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park belly band

For the inside, I added more pieces of the Regency Park DSP showing off a Balmy Blue design.on each panel. For the center panel I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink – still from the Sentimental Park stamp set. Then I stamped the flower ‘bouquet’ in Petal Pink ink in two places, surrounding the sentiment. The ‘bouquet’ is also park of the Sentimental Park stamp set. I adhered the Basic White panel to the center of the inside and the card was done.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park gatefold card inside

For the envelope… more of the same design of Regency Park 6×6 DSP as on the card front for the flap, trimmed tom fit. Across the front I adhered a strip of the Regency Park 6×6 DSP pattern in Balmy Blue to coordinate perfectly with the card.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park Gatefold card & envelope

I love how this turned out – the contrasts in color compliment each other nicely and show off the banner too.
