Stampin with Shirley G

Happy Sunday, everyone.  I hope everyone is having a relaxing and fun Sunday doing whatever their heart desires.  To those who have to work on Sunday, thank you.  Today, in Georgia, we are enjoying a partly sunny day, which is much better than the rain we’ve had for the past two weeks.

This is a step fun fold card.  They can be easy to make.  Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Dies are used in creating the card.  We had a stand-alone die set a few years ago that created beautiful cards. I will put a link below for that card.

Step card cuts

• Strawberry Slush cardstock
  • card base – 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” score at 3”, 6”, and 7”
  • center step – 3” x 6” score at 4-1/2”
• Basic White cardstock
  • card base mat — 2-3/4” x 5-1/4”
  • card base step mat — ¾” x 5”
  • center step mat – 2-3/4” x 4”
  • inside panel — 2-1/2″ x 5-1/4″
  • oval — 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″
• Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper
  • card base – 2-1/2” x 5”
  • card base step mat – ½” x 4-3/4”
  • center step mat – 2-1/2” x 3-3/4”
  • oval card front — 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″

1. Add the 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White mat to the card base.  Add the 2-3/4″ x 4″ Basic White mat to the center step. Add the 3/4″ x 5″ Basic White strip to the card base step.
2. Next, add the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper to the Basic White mats.
3. Attach the long portion of the center step to the card front using adhesive of choice, I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
4. Attach the short end to the back of the card, putting glue only on the bottom of the short end.  If you put it all over the short end, you will not be able to open your card.
5. Stamp a greeting in Memento Black ink on the Basic White oval using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Comforting Thoughts Stamp Set.
6. Looking at the above card, arrange the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper die-cut flowers around the Basic White oval.
7. Adhere a 2-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White to the inside of the card base.
8. Add one of the Stampin’ Up! die-cut flowers to the lower corner.
9. A Basic White envelope gets a panel of Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using 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 cards with you each day. I hope and wish you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. If you have any questions, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

Questions? You can Contact Me.  I’d love to be your Demonstrator if you need any stamping supplies.  Just click on the Shop Now button on the top right side of the screen to go directly to my online store.  You can Shop in my online store HERE. 

• 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!
