My card today is an easy fun fold.  I’ve used Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes Stamp Set and Dies, Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set, Stampin’  Up! Layering Leaves Stamps Set, and Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper.

Challenges for this card.

Cut It Up Challenge — Anything Goes

Creatives Creases Challenge  

1. Start with a Shaded Spruce cardstock card base cut 4-1/2″ x 11″
2. Score at 5-1/2″
3. Fold and burnish well.
4. Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock 4-1/8″ x 9-3/4″
5. Score 2-1/4″ and 4-1/2″.
6. Fold the 2-1/4″ score line as a mountain fold.
7. Fold the 4-1/2″ score line as a valley fold.
8. Adhere the Basic White piece to the card base using adhesive of choice. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  This piece creates the easel.
9. Cut a piece of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper 4″ x 5-1/8″ and 2″ x 3-7/8″.
10. Adhere the two pieces of designer series paper to the Basic White piece.
11.   This is the way the easel looks from the side.
12. Die cut the stems of the flowers from Lost Lagoon cardstock, cut three.  See the first photo to see the two dies to use to cut the flowers.  They are really the same die, but one has the flowers.
13. Die cut from Petunia Pop cardstock the flowers using the die that has the flowers on it.  Cut three.
14. Adhere the Lost Lagoon flower stems over the flower stem leaving only the Petunia Pop flower showing.  I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue because they are so thin.  It would have been good to use an adhesive strip adhered to the Lost Lagoon cardstock. It would have made it easier to adhere the Lost Lagoon stem over the flower stem.
15. Adhere the flowers on the background piece of tthe Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (see photo).
16. Die cut the big flourish that looks like half a wreath (see first photo) from Lost Lagoon cardstock.
17. Stamp a greeting on a piece of Basic White cardstock using Shaded Spruce ink.
18. Trim the greeting piece to 1-1/2″ x 2-1/4″.
19. Cut a mat from Petunia Pop cardstock 1-5/8″ x 2-3/8″ for the greeting piece.
20. Adhere the greeting piece to the Petunia Pop cardstock piece.
21. Adhere 3 Stampin’ Dimensionals down the middle of the greeting.
22. Pop the greeting in the middle of the easel part.
23. Tuck the flourish around the greeting.  You may have to cut it into two pieces.
24. Pop three Birds and Dragonflies around the card front and one on the inside.
25.   A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set is stamped in Shaded Spruce ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock, then adhered to the card base.  A strip of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper is adhered at the bottom of the panel.

A Basic White envelope gets a piece of 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Glue or adhesive of choice.  

I am happy you stop  by today.  I hope you take the time to linger and look at my other blog posts and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you wilbe inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

This is a CAS of a card on Pinterest that Sharon Armstrong created.  I went to my card of September 10, 2023 to get card cuts.
