Stampin’ Up! Z Fold with One Horse Open Sleigh DSP

Good Friday morning! Is it TGIF for you? Do you have BIG plans or a relaxing time in store for you? Whatever you do, may you be energized. I have an easy Z-Fold card for you today. And yep, using the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP with the Horse & Sleigh bundle.

Stampin' Up! Z fold Horse & Sleigh Bundle

Cut & score the Basic White card base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 2 1/8 & 4 1/4. Burnish in an accordian fold (mountain, valley) as shown. The mat panels are Early Espresso: 2 x 5 3/8 (cut 2) and 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and adhered with liquid glue. The Designer Series Paper is One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 size and uses two sheets to create a flowing scene. They are cut 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 (cut 2) and from the second sheet cut 4 x 5 1/4. Adhere these to the Early espresso panels creating the flowing scene. Using the Horse & Sleigh Dies, I die cut three trees from Shimmer paper and adhered them with dots of glue. I could have stopped there, but… cut a Basic white strip 1 x 6 and score at 3″ & 5″. Cut another strip of DSP 3/4 x 6 and score it at 3″ & 5″. Adhere these two together matching the scoring places. On a 5/8 x 3 Shimmer paper strip stamp the sentiment from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Misty Moonlight. Add it to the existing 1 x 6 piece. Add this strip to the left card front (HINT: 3″ mountain fold should be at right edge of DSP panel on the largest panel). Once this glue has dried, close card and with the 1″ end folded in a valley fold, adhere to the right side of the card.. Add embellishments: Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes and a Metallic Pearls in silver.

On the back of the card, I took another of the One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 sheets and cut it to 4 x 5 1/4. I stamped this sentiment using the Brightest Glow stamp set – and in Misty Moonlight ink.

Stampin’ Up! Center Step Fold Card with One Horse Open Sleigh DSP

Good Monday morning. I’ve been playing with an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE product, part of the One Horse Open Sleigh suite. I wanted to create another ‘scene’ kind of card and had not done this Center Step fun fold in a while – and thought, why not?

Stampin' Up! One Horse Open Sleigh DSP, Center Step fold

The card base is Boho Blue, mats are Misty Moonlight. The DSP layers are from the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP pack, and I used a couple of different ones which you’ll see as you look at photos. The very fun snowflakes are from this suite of products and they are Adhesive-Backed Snowflake Assortment in copper, gold and white. I added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel in the center of each snowflake. The ribbon is Night of Navy 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon. It’s best to add the layers to the card base prior to adding the center step fold.

I began by cutting my DSP center step panel as the focus of the card, adhered it to the mat for that panel and the mat to the center step. (HINT: I cut my DSP piece at 4″ , cut the focus panel out and used each remaining side piece for the side panels, trimmed to proper size.)

  • Center step base:
    • Boho Blue, 3 x 6 and scored at 4 1/4 on the long side
  • Center step mat:
    • Misty Moonlight 2 7/8 x 4 1/8
  • Center step DSP:
    • 2 3/4 x 4

Create the card base: Boho Blue 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, score @ 3, 6, and 7. Burnish with 3″ score line as a mountain fold, the 6″ score as a valley fold and the 7″ score another mountain.

Stampin' Up! Center step fold card, side view

Attach side panels on middle section allowing for narrow edge (1/16″):

  • Misty Moonlight mat 2 7/8 x 1 1/8 (Cut 2)
  • DSP 2 3/4 x 1 (Cut 2, using the remaining pieces from the initial removal of the focal panel; one from each side piece so the flow of the design carries to both sides. :O)

Add inside pieces. This is where you write your message :O)

  • Misty Moonlight mat 2 7/8 x 5 3/8
  • Basic White 2 3/4 x 5 1/4 (I added a strip of the DSP 5/8 x 2 7/8 and a copper Adhesive-Backed Snowflake & Rhinestone Basic Jewel)
Stampin' Up! Center Step fold card.3

Add center step fold (the 6 x 3 scored piece) to the very bottom of the card front, but do not attach the back of this panel just yet. Add bottom side panels to either side.

  • Misty Moonlight mat 1 1/8 x 1 3/8 (cut 2)
  • DSP 1 x 1 1/4
  • Wrap with ribbon (Night of navy 3/8 Border Ribbon) and adhere in back with glue dot.
  • Slip another length under the front piece and tie a knot; adhere at knot with glue dot; trim ends

Close card with center step fold folded over and laying on back of card. Add glue to adhere to card back. (I added liquid glue at the edge of the fold of the card back and at the end of the center step fold back.)

  • Add Misty Moonlight mat 2 7/8 x 5 3/8
  • Add DSP 2 3/4 x 5 1/4

Stampin' Up! Center Step Fold card & envelope with One Horse Open Sleigh DSP

Stampin’ Up! Zoo Crew Fun Fold

Good Saturday morning to you – and Memorial Day weekend. A special thank you to all those who have served in the military – you are honored and remembered… thank you for your service and dedication to this country.

My card for you today is a fun fold – called Triple Panel Pop-Up card. We made this in my class yesterday and everyone loved it. This fun fold can be used with lots of other stamps & dies, but the request from my students was to use Zany Zoo and the coordinating Zoo Crew DSP.

Stampin' Up! Zany Zoo funf fold

Is this alligator cute or what?! That look on his face says delight to me. And I’ve used him to make this a birthday card. My card base is a standard A2 Thick Basic White. Additional card stock for the front is embossed Pumpkin Pie (embossed with the Cross-Hatch embossing folder from the Basic Embossing Folders from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES). This was layered onto a Pool Party panel and attached with liquid glue to the card base. All die cuts use the Zany Zoo dies: clouds, balloons, banner and the alligator. The alligator was die cut directly from one of the papers in Zoo Crew DSP. The balloons are die cut from scraps of Petal Pink, Lemon Lolly, Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party. The clouds and banner are die cut from Basic White. The sentiment comes from Zany Zoo stamp set and is stamped in memento ink. I used the Black twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack to ‘attach’ the balloons to the alligator. The little back embellishments are from the Classic Matte Dots. Oh, & I wrapped Linen Thread around the banner for a bit more texture and masculinity :O).

Stampin' Up! Zoo Crew fun fold, inside

More fun animals for the inside of the card… all fussy cut from the Zoo Crew DSP. The DSP on the inside is from Zoo Crew DSP as well. Embossing folder used is the Hobnail Embossing Folder from the Basics Embossing Folders from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES set of 3. Card stocks for the embossed panels are – from the top – Pool Party, Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie. The balloons are die cut from scraps of Lemon Lolly, Zoo Crew DSP, Petal Pink and Pool Party. The sentiment on the left panel is from the Zany Zoo stamp set and the embellishments are from the same pack of Classic Matte Dots but in Basic Gray.


Stampin' Up! Zany Zoo fun fold, back of card.

For the very back of the card… this fun skater of a bird fussy cut from Zoo Crew DSP and adhered to a Basic White panel. This panel is for writing your very own special message to the recipient. :O)

I bet you want directions, don’t you?! The mechanism for holding the three panels looks like this from the top ~

Stampin' UP Zany Zoo fun fold mechanism

Directions for mechanism:

  • Mechanism measurements: 3 x 5 1/4: score on short side @ 3/4, 1 1/2, 2 1/4
  • Fold score line and burnish
  • Fold ends to center, flattening and not overlapping
  • Add adhesive (liquid or tear n’ tape) to open ends, add directly to score line of card base
  • Panels will be added to this mechanism on opposite sides – what you see above is the top panel adhered to left side of mechanism. The middle panel is attached to the right side of the mechanism. Bottom panel is adhered same as top panel.

Triple panel dimensions/ directions:

  • cut 3 – 1 3/4 x 3 3/8
  • cut 3 – 1 5/8 x 3 3/8 (these are either embossed or DSP)
  • Add the embossed or DSP pieces to the larger cuts
  • Adhere top & bottom panels first to assure proper spacing: remember these are attached to the left side of the mechanism.
  • Adhere center panel to the right side of mechanism.
  • Decorate as desired

Card base & other piece measurements:

  • Card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored @ 4 1/4
  • Front panels: 4 1/8 x 5 3/8; embossed piece 4 x 5 1/4
  • Inside left: 3 1/4 x 5 1/4; 3 x 5
  • Inside right: 4 x 5 1/4 DSP
  • Back: 4 x 5 1/4

Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo Birthday for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Blog hop Theme Challenge
Stampin' Up! Zany Zoo b'day

Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The theme for this week is CELEBRATE and I chose birthday. I’ve had the Zany Zoo Suite of products for a bit, but hadn’t used it yet. With this challenge, it was the perfect opportunity to play. I used the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog to give me a bit of inspiration – and the rest is history. Once I got going, the inspiration just kept coming.

This little singing turtle was an image I HAD to use. I cut it out of the Zany Crew Designer Series Papers. I really like the fact that Stampin’ Up! has started creating images on their DSP that can be die cut with the coordinating Dies. ~ and so I did, then colored it with Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends. I die cut a stool for him to stand on using the same Zany Zoo Dies. I also die cut this other creature holding balloons – is it a raccoon or is it a badger? I can’t decide! I colored it as well, this time with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. I also die cut the sweet tulips and the single balloon, as well as the banner with the sentiment. All these came from the Zany Zoo Dies. The cute little music notes also come from the Zany Zoo stamp set, as does the sentiment on the banner die cut. The ‘grass’ along the bottom comes from the Beautiful Balloon Dies and is die cut from Lemon Lime Twist card stock.

The card base… is Pool Party card stock 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I cut a panel of the Zany Crew DSP to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and trimmed the opposite corners. I colored the DSP with Pool Party ink and a Blending Brush. I adhered it with liquid glue as you see it. The next layer of Pool Party is 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 and was attached with dimensionals after it was completed . The DSP under the sentiment banner is the same pattern as the Pool Party colored DSP. Can’t you just ‘hear’ this cute frog singing Happy Birthday to you?! The single balloon is attached with Black Baker’s Twine form the Twine Essentials Pack. I attached it to the back of the balloon with a dab of liquid glue, then simply ‘tucked it’ near the hand after the balloon was added to the card with a dimensional. A two-fisted animal with balloons!

Stampin' Up! Zany Zoo birthday, inside

On the inside… I added a panel of Lemon Lolly card stock to the card base. The Basic White panel has a strip of the Zany Crew DSP that was colored with Pool Party and a Blending Brush, same as the DSP on the card front. The sentiment is stamped in Memento ink and comes from Zany Zoo stamp set. The additional stamping – looks like confetti – is also from Zany Zoo stamp set and is stamped with Memento ink. I colored various aspects of the confetti with Blends: Pool Party, Lemon Lolly, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist and Crumb cake. Mostly it took just a touch of ink.

Stampin' Up! Zany Zoo card & envelope

For the envelope… more Zany Crew DSP added to the flap. For the front I used the 2 3/8 circle punch to punch this fun image from the Zany Crew DSP and adhered it to the envelope with Stampin’ Seal all around the edges of the circle. Tis a happy, fun birthday card.

Stampin’ Up! Let’s Go Fishing Fun Fold for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Our hop for this week is “for the men/ boys’ and we can interpret that any way we like. I have a twin brother who likes to carve – and one of the ‘beasts’ he likes to carve is fish. He lives in Oregon and while I have not physically seen the fish he has carved, he is a detail-oriented man and has a real talent with color & design, and this just seemed like a fun idea to me, to create a card around fish. The Let’s Go Fishing DSP in the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is really beautiful. The colors are soft – and well, just perfect. I must now order the stamps, dies, etc.!

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop Group
Stampin' Up! Let's Go Fishing Fun Fold. Tue hop 5/9

I’ve used Boho Blue for my card base cut at 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2, 6 3/4 and 8 7/8. I added layers of Copper Clay to various panels: (2) 4 1/8 x 4 1/8, 3 x 3 (this is on dimensionals) and 1 1/8 x 4 1/8. DSP layers are 4 x 4 and 1 x 4. The Very Vanilla inside layer is 4 x 4. On it is a die cut from Very Vanilla layered onto Pecan Pie. I SHOULD HAVE used Copper Clay ink for the stamping and for the layer for the sentiment!!! It was a goof :O) Ok, where was I ??? :O)

Using the side view, you can see where the facing panel of Copper Clay & DSP are adhered. . on that of course, is the square set on it like a diamond – attached with dimensionals. The Boho Blue panel was run through the Splatters & Stripes Embossing Folder – you know, fish & bubbler! The fish were fussy cut and also added with dimensionals. A few 2023-2025 In Color Dots were added to the diamond shape and one just off, hopefully making it look like bubbles from the fish. C’mon, use your imagination…

Stampin' Up! Let's Go Fishing Fun Fold, side view
Stampin' Up! Let's Go Fishing Fun Fold, inside of card

For the inside of the card, a panel of the Copper Clay then a Very Vanilla panel stamped and with a stamped sentiment die cut. The fun stamped corners are from He’s All That stamp set – a very masculine stamp set. The sentiment is also from that same stamp set, stamped on Very Vanilla and die cut with All That Dies.. I die cut another layer in Pecan Pie, cut it down the middle and added each to the underside of the stamped piece. That got put on dimensionals so the upper portion had something to lean against or ‘stand’ against.I added two 2023-2025 In Color Dots to make the sentiment more pronounced.

Let’s see, I think I forgot one step – the 1 1/8 x 4 1/8 Copper Clay piece with the 1 x 4 Let’s Go Fishing DSP… that all added with liquid glue. The pictures are showing the perfect placement.

I think that’s it. GADS… Did I totally mess with your mind with those directions??? You will see some fun creations today, so take a peak around the various links.

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

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

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Hop Challenge
Stampion' Up! Let's Set Sail. hop 4/20

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.

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?

MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY SENDING THEM A HANDMADE CARD FILLED WITH LOVE.

Stampin’ Up!

It’s Monday morning and a full day ahead… what are your plans? I’ve a bit of computer work today, card making :o), gardening :O) and more, but first, I want to share this masculine birthday card. Part of what makes it masculine is the colors, another is its simplicity and non-fussiness.

I began with retiring Sahara Sand card stock to make this A2 top fold card. Does it seem that I’m trying to use my stash in preparation for all the new? Well – you are sooooo right! I have gotten stuck however, using what’s on my desk. :O( Nonetheless… here’s the card.

Stampin' Up! Masculine birthday w/ By the Bay DSP

As I mentioned, Sahara Sand for the card base. Starting from the front:

  • By the Bay DSP cut 2 7/8 x 3 7/8
  • Layer this to Basic White 3 x 4
  • Adhere both to a coordinating By the Bay DSP 3 7/8 x 5 1/8
  • And Balmy Blue 4 x 5 1/4.
  • Wrap with a length of Burlap Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (carrying over!). Adhere ribbon in back with Stampin’ Seal
  • Adhere all this to the card base with dimensionals
  • Stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on a Basic White scrap. This sentiment comes from Waves of Inspiration stamp set – carrying over!
  • Die cut sentiment with Waves Dies, carrying over… and adhere over the ribbon with dimensionals
  • Add three Enamel Dot Essentials in Crumb Cake and the front is complete
Stampin' Up! Masculine birthday, inside

For the inside… adhere a Basic White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 to a Balmy Blue piece 4 x 5 1/4. Adhere a strip of By the Bay DSP to the bottom and attach all this to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Masculine birthday w/ By the Bay, card & envelope

The envelope… super simple… a coordinating piece of By the Bay DSP for the envelope flap and this masculine card is ready to be sent.

Here’s the exciting part about the products used for this card… The Waves of Inspiration stamp set and its coordinating Waves Dies are carrying over… just not as a bundle. The Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack is also carrying over. Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Basic White card stock are also carrying over, as are the Balmy Blue ink and Night of Navy inks. :O) What is not carrying over into the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is the By the Bay Designer Series Paper and the Enamel Dot Essentials or the Sahara Sand card stock. Prices are changing in the new catalog… production costs have risen as everything else has risen (such as food costs, clothing costs, gasoline, etc.) If you have a chance, check out getting these carry-over items now before the price increases with the new catalog. You may do that order from me here.

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. You will still receive that FREE ITEM from me up to $10 + the Star-Studded Rewards.  And if your order is $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials. BONUS! :O)

Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy

Good Friday Morning! I have a couple of quick cards for you today, both very similar and made with By the Bay Specialty DSP (retiring product!) and Inspired Thoughts stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy #1
Stampin' Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy #2

The card on the left has an additional layer of embossed Basic White (with Cross Hatch embossing folder) behind the DSP layers. The left card uses Shimmer Ribbon and Festive Pearls in Silver, while the right card uses Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and Classic Matte Dots. The left card is stamped in Gray Granite ink while the right card is embossed with White Embossing powder and heat set. Both use the Label Me Fancy Punch for the sentiment banner. The card on the left was made for a gentleman who lost his mother and the card on the right was made for a woman – same formats, just a bit different.

Stampin' Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy #1 inside

The card on the left uses Night of Navy ink for the sentiment (from Inspiring Thoughts stamp set) while the card on the right is Gray Granite ink. Both are stamped on Basic White with a layer of Night of Navy ~ and both have a card base of Gray Granite card stock.

Stampin' Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy card & envelope #1
Stampin' Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy card & envelope #2

The lighting is so different on these two cards! Go figure… I’m curious, do you have a preference? Do you like one card better than the other? I think my preference is the card on the left with the embossed layer of white.

Card cuts are listed at the bottoms of this post.

Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Book Fold

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

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

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

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.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain bundle

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!!!
