Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Thistle
The card I am sharing today is a fun fold created using Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Thistle stamp set. I also used the Splatters Embossing Fold from the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folder. I call this fun fold, an easel with a flap.
I find inspiration from the Tic, Tac, Toe Challenge for this card. I am choosing the bottom row across, Flowers, Ribbon/Twine, Free.
Start with a piece of Basic White card stock cut 4-1/4″ x 11″. Score at 5-1/2 & 2-3/4″. Fold and burnish the 5-1/2″ score first, then fold the 2-3/4″ into a mountain fold and burnish well. The small card will be adhered over the Glimmer Paper using your favorite adhesive. Remember to stamp your sentiment before adhering to the easel portion. I forgot to and had to stamp my sentiment on a separate piece of Basic White card stock and then adhere to the small card.
Adhere pieces of Orchid Oasis Glimmer Paper from the 2022-2024 In-Color 6″ x 6″ Glimmer Paper to the areas shown in the above photo.
On a 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Basic White card stock stamp in Tuxedo Memento Black ink the thistles from Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Thistle stamp set.
Color using Fresh Freesa, Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive and Orchid Oasis Stampin’ Blends Markers. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug stamp set is stamp in the upper right corner using Tuxedo Memento Black ink.
After the ink was well dry and even with Stampin’ Blends the card stock can be damp for a few minutes, I used Wink of Stella on the thistle.
Emboss this art piece using the Splatter 3D Embossing Folder from Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folders. I embossed on the negative side and you can barely see the embossing on the thistle.
A small thistle is stamped in Memento Black ink and colored with the same Stampin’ Blends Marker as used on the card front. A second greeting is stamped on the Basic White piece using Memento Black ink. The piece is then embossed using the Stripes Embossing Folder from the Stripes and Splatters Embossing Folder. A small thistle is popped on the bottom of the card front as the stop for the flap that comes over and stop at the thistle.
On a piece of Basic White card stock I stamped a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Thistle stamp set. I stamped the small thistle in the lower corner and colored with the same Stampin’ Blends as on the card front. I then adhered to the inside of the small card. I had forgotten to stamp the sentiment before adhering to the easel card.
