Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop - Fun Fold Time!

 Welcome to the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop!

This month our blog hop is all about Fun Fold Cards. We were to create a project using a fun fold we had never used before. Luckily the YouTube world has many to choose from. My search began with "Stampin' Up! Fun Fold Cards" and just kept cruising through the many tutorials until I settled on Susan Campfield's Window Trifold Card. I CASEd Her card using the same Memorable Blooms Bundle. This is such a lovely Bundle. I am sad to say it is on the Last Chance List AND the dies are already gone. Actually the Cute Crochet 3D Embossing Folder is also on the Last Chance List. I will be keeping this bundle in my ever growing collection.

I stamped the floral images & the sentiments in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Colored the floral images with my Stampin' Blends and the die cut them with the coordinating Memorable Blooms Dies. I stamped the Elements of Text words in a circle with Pecan Pie Ink and then die cut the octagon shaped image in Gold Foil & the Pecan Pie words circle. I cut away the flowers in the Golf Foil image and adhered the remaining Gold Foil frame to the text die cut. 

Backing up aa bit here. The card base is a standard Basic White Thick Cardstock, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". The inside piece is Basic White Cardstock 5 1/4" x 6", scored at 4". After I stamped the inside sentiment, I adhered the 4" side of this layer to the inside of the card base. Then I adhered the colored small image to the lower right corner. Folding the 2" side in, I adhered a 1 3/4" x 5" piece of the Nature's Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper (SDSP). I used the splatter stamp from the Elements Of Text Stamp Set and Pecan Pie Ink and stamped the upper right and lower left corners. With the card in the closed position, I adhered the assemble text die cut to the 2" folded layer only. 

My card front is Basic White Cardstock, 4" x 5 1/4". I die cut the octagon from the upper portion,  centering it as best as I could, then embossed this with the Cute Crochet 3D Embossing Folder. I also die cut the front of the card base. I adhered the card front to the card base. Then adhered the large colored image to the left side of the card front (in hind site I should have die cut a blank to adhere to the back of the colored image, for a cleaner look). The sentiment strip is matted on Gold Foil and popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals on the floral image. To finish this card I added a double Gold Twisted Thread (on the Last chance List) bow and a few Tiny Bee Trinkets. I did cover the envelope flap with some more Nature's Sweetness SDSP.
