 Welcome to our Anything Goes With a Fun Fold Challenge. If you haven't played at Creative Creases Challenge before, what are you waiting for? Hop on over to Challenge #105. We'd love to see your fun fold creation. Here's a snapshot of mine...

                                              
 Let's take a closer look, shall we? 

My inspiration came from Lynn Dunn and here's how I did it...

Base: 4 1/4" x 11" Night of Navy, scored at 2 3/4" and 8 1/4" and 1" x 4" for middle panel

Flap Mats: 1 1/4" x 4 1/4" (3) and 1" x 4" (2)  Basic White for top and bottom embossed panels, streaked with Real Red Ink

Real Red and Basic White for sentiment mat and sentiment cut with Stylish Shapes Dies. Sentiment is from This Birthday Piggy (retired). Star embellishments are retired and my stash of Real Red is depleted! 

For the inside...

Side Panels: Christmas Around the World DSP (retired) cut at 2 1/4" x 3 3/4" (that pattern is now depleted!)

Center Panel: Basic White 5" x 3 3/4"; sentiment is from Inkadinkadoo and the stars are from my stash created with the retired  Confetti Stars Border Punch.

Thank you for stopping by today and I can't wait to see all the creativity from the team.  Be sure to check us out at CCC#105 and we hope to see your entry there! Remember, you have a month to participate. 

 

Stampin' Up! Ohio Star Quilted Patriotic Birthday Card

Hello my stamping and quilting friends! I made this card for a friend who is a quilter. I'll show you my card and then show you her quilt, which was the inspiration for my creation.

  

Let's take a look at the front of my card again...

 

I used the smallest right angle triangle from The Right Triangle Die Set (retired) to create all my triangles. 

The card base is Night of Navy card stock embossed with the Quilt EF (retired). For my bottom square, I cut a piece of Poppy Parade card stock to 3 3/4" x 3  3/4" .

Next I cut a piece of Basic White card stock 3 1/2" x 3 1/2". I cut the four corner squares at 1 1/16". They are from the 2022-2024 In Color DSP (retired), as are the triangles. I adhered the triangles and squares, as shown in the photo above, to the Basic White square.  I then ran it through my embossing machine with the same EF I used for the base front.

The sentiment is from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set. I stamped it in Night of Navy on a scrap of white and cut it out with the retired Banners Pick A Punch. I edged it with a Poppy Parade Stamp N Write Marker. I adhered it to the front with Dimensionals and added two Real Red stars.

Oh, I almost forgot the square in the middle of the block...it's a 1 1/16" x 1 1/16" piece of Nature's Sweetness DSP and four 1/4" squares and one 3/4" square of another pattern from the 2022-2024 In Color DSP. 

For the inside...

I cut a piece of Basic White card stock at 3 7/8" x 5 1/8". I stamped the fireworks in Wild Wheat ink using a stamp from the retired Light the Sky Stamp Set. The "Happy Birthday" is from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set and is stamped in Poppy Parade ink. I added a Night of Navy star. At the bottom, I added a 1/4" x 3 7/8" strip of the aforementioned DSP.

I think that covers it...which is appropriate for a quilt card ;-)

Thanks for stopping by.
