The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints stamp set for the belly band.  Which makes the card front when it is put on the card.  A panel of Sun Prints DSP is embossed using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder.  It then adheres to the inside panel of the fun fold.

Since my card is a fun fold, I am entering the Creative Creases Challenge.  It is always a fun fold.

My card design is inspired by the Try Stampin’ On Tuesday Challenge.  My card is a fun fold but still true to the design.

My card base is Basic White card stock.  The card size is 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 5-1/8″ and 4-1/4″.  This is a fun fold card so scoring this way will create the fun fold.  Panels of Sun Prints DSP are cut and adhered to the card base.  The larger panel is embossed using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder.

Sentiments are stamped in Starry Sky ink on Basic White card stock and then cropped using dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Images are stamped in Starry Sky ink on Basic White card stock, cropped and adhered to the front panel and across the large sentiment circle.

To create the band across the card, I cut 1″ strips from two different patterns of the Sun Prints DSP, adhered them together and wrapped them around the card, and secured using Tear N Tape.   A large circle is cropped from Basic White card stock using the largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies.  It is adhered to the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  To make sure the Stampin’ Dimensionals are in the correct spot on the circle, they are adhered to the belly band and the circle is popped over the dimensionals. 

I stamped flowers and sprigs from the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints stamp set. They are stamped in Starry Sky, Pear Pizzazz, and Smoky Slate inks.  The flowers are the Smoky Slate stamped ones, so they are colored using a Melon Mambo Watercolor Pencil and a Blender Pen.  A Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Marker is used to color the center of the flowers.  They are adhered to the Stylish Shaped Circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals, and Glue Dots.  A greeting is stamped in Starry Sky ink on Basic White card stock, fussy cut, adhered to a piece of Sun Prints DSP, fussy cut again, then popped on the belly band.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a panel of Sun Prints DSP, retired, adhered to the envelope flap.
