Stampin’ Up! Forest Friends

Stampin’ Up! Forest Friends

This is the card I am sharing today.  It is a bridge fold without a bridge, so does that make it a bridgeless fold?  I used Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper to create.  The Designer Series Paper did all the work. The greeting and sentiment are from Stampin’ Up! Sweet Song Birds stamp set.  The greeting is stamped in Soft Suede ink just below the bird, so I feel this greeting is perfect for this card.

My challenge for today is with Festive Friday Challenge  — I choose the owl, texture, brown, and woodland as my choice.

This is the way the card looks opened up all the way.  I started with a 5-1/2″ x 10″ Soft Suede card stock card base. I scored the Soft Suede card stock on each end at 1-1/2″  and 3″.  I used Calypso Coral for the mats.  You can see the card cuts at the end of the post.   I fussy cut an owl on a stump from a piece of the Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper and popped it in the corner using a Stampin’ Dimensional.  Three Brushed Brass Butterflies are popped around the card also.

This is the back side of the card with the sentiment.  I fussy cut the tree from a panel of the Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper and adhered to the Basic White Panel.  I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds stamp set in Soft Suede ink.  I didn’t stamp Happy Birthday as I want to write that myself as I will also write a note.

This is the way the card looks when it is closed.  It will fit in a regular envelope, no need for a special size or to make one.  It may seem that way as the size is 5-1/2″ x 10″.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper applied to envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
