I hope everyone is having a beautiful Fall day as we are here in Georgia. The days are perfect with just the correct temps to make it a great day. My favorite time of year, though, I am Winter.  If I wore Fall colors, I would feel terrible and look it, too.  Have you ever had your colors done to see which season you are?  I’ve even trained my husband well; he knows my colors better than I do.

The card I am sharing today is called a Collar Fun Fold by many people.  I suppose it does look like a collar.  I remember making one of these way back in 2017-2018 I believe.  It was a landscape card made to look like a woman’s dress.   I still have that card, did not like it so I felt it was not good enough to send to anyone. This card does not look that way as the collar is on the side instead of the top like a dress.  It also has a circle over the opening. Stampin’ Up! Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Words of Beauty Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Banner Sayings Stamp Set.

• Lost Lagoon cardstock
  • card base — 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored aat 5-1/2″
• Early Espresso cardstock
  • mats for card front and inside — 4″ x 5-1/4″

On the long side of the Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper piece, measure over to the 2-3/4″ on your paper trimmer. Cut from this spot up about 1-3/4″. Score from the cut up to the corner, then fold the piece back.  You can see in the photo how it is turned back. Adhere the pink piece of Designer Series Paper to the back of the collar piece so the pink portion of the card shows through the opening. Now, adhere the piece to the Early Espresso cardstock, and finally, adhere it to the card base.  Using the largest die from Stylish Shapes Dies, die cut the circle of roses.  Adhere over the collar point. You can see in the photo.  Stamp in Secret Sea ink a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Banner Sayings Stamp Set. Adhere to the card front using double stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Words of Beauty Stamp Set using Secret Sea ink.  Stamp the other sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Banner Sayings Stamp Set in Calypso Coral ink.  Adhere the 3/4″ x 3-7/8″ strip of Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Adhere the sentiment panel to the Early Espresso cardstock panel, then adhere it to the Lost Lagoon card base.

Adhere the 2-1/4″ x 6″ piece of Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper to the Basic White envelope flap with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I am happy you stopped 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 creations with you each day. I hope you will be inspired to create amazing things yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Have a blessed day!

• Ready to Join our team?  Click HERE  for more information. One of the perks of being a demonstrator is to pre-order before a new catalog launches, and the Online Exclusives we get to order before they are released to customers.  You will also be getting at least a 20% discount on purchases. If you love card-making as a hobby, you can still be a demonstrator and get that discount to help get more card-making items,  or you can be like I was and buy Stampin’ Up! products for 10 years before I became wise enough to become a demonstrator to get the discount.  When I think of all the stamping products that 20% would have brought over those 10 years, I cringe.

  Being a part of the Stampin’ Up! Community is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.  Are you new to papercrafting and cardmaking and don’t know where to start, but would like to join to save?  As I said earlier in this post, I’m here to assist you in any way I can.  Ask me!
