Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection | TLsBrightSpot

Good Sunday morning. One of the Online Exclusive bundles/ Suites is the Season of Green & Gold Suite – perfect for Christmas/ holiday cards. I have used the papers in this suite to create a fun fold.

Stampin' Up! Seaqson of Green & Gold Fun Fold

Can you see how it stands on it’s own? And it’s decorated on both sides of the card.

Stampin' Up! Season of Green & Gold fun fold, back side

Here are the basics – just remember, any papers can be used to create this card and many different dies as well. I used the items from the Season of Green & Gold Suite: Season of Green SDSP, Graceful Greenery Vellum, Greetings of the Season Bundle and Golden Greenery Bundle. I also used the Spotlight on Nature Dies to create the circle on the card front with the Seasons of Green SDSP.

Card base and basics:

5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored on the long side at 1 1/4, 2 1/2, 6 & 7 1/4
Designer Series Papers for the folds are all cut 1 x 5 1/4. Cut 8
Center panels are 3 1/2 x 5 1/4

For the die cuts on the card front, I used Very Vanilla, Distressed Gold SDSP and Graceful Greenery Vellum and the Golden Greenery Dies. For the sentiment panels on front and back I used the Greetings of the Season Bundle, Old Olive ink, Cherry Cobbler ink, more of the Distressed Gold SDSP, Very Vanilla and Season of Green and Gold SDSP. The embellishments are not from this suite, but are Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems. And the Linen Thread bow is a double bow adhered with a glue dot.

Here’s a top view of how the card looks:

Sympathy cards are always difficult. We often know the person well – or the family and we get emotional when making them. It can also be a form of remembrance and fond memories allowing us to feel connected differently. This is one such card.

For today’s card I have taken a leftover piece of Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP and cut it down to 3 x 4. I attached it with Stampin’ Seal to the Painted Texture 3D embossed panel of Basic White cut 4 x 5 1/4. This was added with dimensionals to a Thick Basic White card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. With the Friends For Life Dies and Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (1 3/4 x 4), I die cut the beautiful leaf, trimmed it into two sections and adhered the longer section to the card front with small dots of liquid glue. In cut a strip of Calypso Coral 1/2 x 5 and adhered it in place, grounding the DSP scene. I added a 1/4 x 4 3/4 strip of Mossy Meadow. The sentiment strip is 3/4 x 3 3/4 stamped in Early espresso ink – using the Everyday Greetings stamp set. I adhered this with dimensionals and added the remainder of the leaf die cut from the Friends For Life Dies. To enhance the gold, I attached three Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins in gold.

I die cut that same leaf pattern with the Friends for Life Dies and Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP. This was adhered to a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel. Another 1/4 x 5 1/4 strip of Mossy Meadow was added to the bottom – and the card was complete.

For the envelope, another piece of the Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. I stamped the leaf from Friends for Life stamp set first in full strength Mossy Meadow ink, then stamped again without re-inking. I think it might have looked better with the single leaf, but it was done. I’m hoping the recipient will find the card hopeful and peaceful and comforting.
