Stampin with Shirley G

This was a fun card to create.  It is also a fun fold Z fold.  The Just  Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper made for a fun creating.  I also used the Stampin’ Up! Kiddin’ Around stamp set.

My card base is Pool Party card stock. As this is a Z-fold card, I started with a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of card stock, scoring at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″.  Fold the card as you would a regular card, then fold into a mountain fold. It will be mountain fold for the first fold and the regular fold is a valley fold.  I used Pretty Peacock card stock to create the mats for the Just  Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper.  You can find the card cuts at the end of this post.  In the package of  Just Kiddin’  Designer Series Paper there are 2 pieces of the Designer Series Paper that can be cut into sections to create a scene.  I used two of the sections to create my card.

A castle is die cut from another pattern of Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper, two others are cut from Smoky Slate card stock.  The three are adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered to the third panel where the sentiment is stamped on the Basic White panel in Pretty Peacock ink. A flag is die cut  three times using Kiddin’ Around Dies. They are adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, then colored using Poppy Parade and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers. 

One of the kids from the Designer Series Paper is fussy cut and popped on the panel in front of the castle.  The boy’s hat,  some of the books, the flags at the top of each panel, the dragon’s tongue, the  blocks on the top shelf of the book case and the apple on the trees are brushed with Wink of Stella.

This is another view of the card.  I stamped the girl from Stampin’ Up! Kiddin’ Around stamp set in Memento Black and colored using Balmy Blue, Poppy Parade, Tahitian Tide, Crumb Cake  Stampin’ Blends Markers and one of the Blends for flesh color.  I then die cut the girl and popped her on the stool that has been die cut from a piece of Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper (free during Sale-a-Bration with qualifying order).

A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Kiddin’ Around stamp set is stamped on a piece of Basic White card stock in Pretty Peacock ink.  It is matted on a piece of Pretty Peacock card stock and adhered to the card front. Only half of the panel has Multipurpose Liquid Glue applied.  If it was applied to the entire piece, it would glue the panel to the card and it could not be opened.  Stars are die cut from pieces of Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper and popped around the greeting panel. 

This is the back of the card for space for writing a note or just signing your card.  Another scene is created on the left panel.  The boy and girl are fussy cut from a panel of Just Kiddin’  Designer Series Paper.

The belly band is a piece of Pool Party card stock with a piece of Just Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper over it.  A boy and girl are fussy cut from a panel of the Designer Series Paper and popped on the front of the belly band.  Iridescent Rhinestones are popped in the corners.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a panel of Just Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
