Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery Thinking of You Fun Fold Friday

Yay, it's Friday...a fun fold Friday at that! Here's what I created for today.

My design came from Mystery Stamping night with Dani Gurrola (Pink Barn Stampers). She gives us measurements ahead of time and then we watch her to see how to put everything together! It's so fun and a different way to present mystery stamping. We must use her design in order to win a prize. Let me show you what she provided...  

 here's  a look at it closed...

 and fully opened...

If you join her Facebook Group "Pink Barn Stampers" you'll be able to watch her create this design. Not sure if this link will work...you might have to go searching yourself on FB. She also has a blog here.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a great weekend. For me it's "Go Vols"!

Stampin' Up! Splendid Autumn Card for the Creative Creases Challenge #107 - Anything Goes with a Fun Fold

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 #107. We'd love to see your fun fold creation. Here's a snapshot of mine...

 

 

 

                                                             

My card is based on Dani Gurrola's Mystery Stamping. If you follow me, you have heard me mention her before so I won't go into details. Here's what she provided for our card for August. I love to watch the design unfold as we go along with the cuts.

 and again, here's how mine turned out...

For my base, I used Daffodil Delight card stock. For the patterned paper panels, I used Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper. You cut 2" off the front of the base and use that for your "flap" and score it at 2 3/4".

My two same shapes I punched with the To the Point Label Punch. I stamped the sunflower in Crushed Curry and die cut it from the retired Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set and Sunflowers Dies. The embellishments are from the retired Elegant Faceted Gems (I colored them with a Crushed Curry Marker). The sentiments outside and in are from the retired Comforting Thoughts Stamp Set and the ink I used is Pecan Pie.

For the inside...

My only regret is that I raised up the sunflower on the front and wished I had raised the punched shape.

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#107 and we hope to see your entry there! Remember, you have a month to participate. 

Stampin' Up! Painterly Pears Friendship Card

Happy Thursday, stamping friends. My card today was a piece of cake...or I should say fruit! The Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper did all the work. Take a look see...

My card base is Secret Sea card stock with a mat of Daffodil Delight Beautiful Bokeh DSP. Then comes the star of the show, Painterly Pears DSP. I tied a piece of Secret Sea Faux Linen ribbon around and made a faux bow for it.

I used a Spellbinders die that was bequeathed to me to cut out the Daffodil Delight sentiment. I stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea ink. The sentiment is from the retired True Beauty Stamp Set. Three Darling Duckling Low-Profile Sparkle Dots finished the front.

For the inside...

 

The "friend" sentiment is from the retired Fruit Basket Stamp Set. The "here for you" sentiment is from the True Beauty set. Both are stamped with Secret Sea ink. I added the comma and exclamation point with a Secret Sea Stamp N Write Marker.

I used a die from the Perfectly Pears set to cut out the pears from another pattern in the Painterly Pears DSP. 

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you'll return tomorrow for our monthly Creative Creases Challenge. 

Stampin' Up! Sunrise Sailing Birthday Card

Good mid-week morning, peeps! This is the first time I have used the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies. I ran into a problem after I realized I should have ordered the stamp set to go with it, but I made do...take a look see...

 

 

I paper pieced the boat and added in the "ropes" because my boat was just plain white! The inside is snarky (at least I think so) so I'm going to submit it to the AAA Challenge #77...

 

 

Thank you for stopping by today.
