A card with a hidden surprise.  Another card made using the December Product Of The Month Designer Series Paper.  The card is made from die-cut images, with the only stamping being the sentiments.  I used dies from Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Layers Dies, Stampin’ Up! Springtime Scenes Dies and Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder.

    • inside left panel – 3” x 3”
    • inside right panel – 3-1/2” x 4-1/4’

  1. Adhere the Basic White Beautiful Pattern Embossed piece to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I used glue for the entire card.
  2. Adhere the light blue 2″ x 5-1/2″ piece to the 2-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ Night of Navy Designer Series Paper.
  3. Adhere on the left side of the card front over the embossed panel.
  4. Adhere the short piece of the embossed piece to the Night of Navy square of Designer Series Paper.
  5. Adhere to the card front centering over the blue and white panels.
  6. Adhere the light blue circle over the square.
  7. Arrange the flowers and foliage ove the circle adhering with Stampin’ Dimensionals, Glue Dots, and Liquid Glue.
  8. Adhere the greeting in the lower right corner using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  9. Add the embellishment to the flower centers and by the greeting.

Stamp sentiments on the inside of the small card using stamps from Stampin’  Up! Banner Sayings.  The sentiment on the right is one I typed on my computer.

This is the way the inside looks when the little card is closed.

A  piece of True Blue Designer Series Paper is adhered to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Words Of Beauty

Stampin’ Up! Words Of Beauty

Comments 0 Comment

I hope everyone is having a beautiful Fall day as we are here in Georgia. The days are perfect with just the correct temps to make it a great day. My favorite time of year, though, I am Winter.  If I wore Fall colors, I would feel terrible and look it, too.  Have you ever had your colors done to see which season you are?  I’ve even trained my husband well; he knows my colors better than I do.

The card I am sharing today is called a Collar Fun Fold by many people.  I suppose it does look like a collar.  I remember making one of these way back in 2017-2018 I believe.  It was a landscape card made to look like a woman’s dress.   I still have that card, did not like it so I felt it was not good enough to send to anyone. This card does not look that way as the collar is on the side instead of the top like a dress.  It also has a circle over the opening. Stampin’ Up! Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Words of Beauty Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Banner Sayings Stamp Set.

Card Cuts:

  • Lost Lagoon cardstock
    • card base — 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored aat 5-1/2″
  • Early Espresso cardstock
    • mats for card front and inside — 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Basic White cardstock
    • inside — 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper
    • collar piece on card front — 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″
    • piece under collar — 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″
    • circle — 3-1/2″ square to die cut flowers
    • strip on inside panel — 3/4″ x 3-7/8″
    • envelope flap — 2-1/4″ x 6″

On the long side of the Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper piece, measure over to the 2-3/4″ on your paper trimmer. Cut from this spot up about 1-3/4″. Score from the cut up to the corner, then fold the piece back.  You can see in the photo how it is turned back. Adhere the pink piece of Designer Series Paper to the back of the collar piece so the pink portion of the card shows through the opening. Now, adhere the piece to the Early Espresso cardstock, and finally, adhere it to the card base.  Using the largest die from Stylish Shapes Dies, die cut the circle of roses.  Adhere over the collar point. You can see in the photo.  Stamp in Secret Sea ink a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Banner Sayings Stamp Set. Adhere to the card front using double stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Words of Beauty Stamp Set using Secret Sea ink.  Stamp the other sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Banner Sayings Stamp Set in Calypso Coral ink.  Adhere the 3/4″ x 3-7/8″ strip of Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Adhere the sentiment panel to the Early Espresso cardstock panel, then adhere it to the Lost Lagoon card base.

Adhere the 2-1/4″ x 6″ piece of Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper to the Basic White envelope flap with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
