I am still out of town for another day or two so as soon as I am back I will add the link for the new catalogue!
After you have checked out todays card and my photos, at the end of my Blog is some great videos from Stampin' Up! showing some of the new products!
Now, onto todays card.
I have used the Darling Details Bundle to design todays card. Check out all those amazing dies that come with this bundle! I also love the font and the sentiments with this set!
Directions:
I started with a card base of Calypso Coral Card Stock cut to 4 1/4" x 11" and scored at 5 1/2".
Cut a 2 5/8" x 4" piece of Basic White C/S. Using Calypso Coral Ink full strength, randomly stamp the large flower outlines. Stamp the insides of the flowers using 2nd generation Calypso Coral Ink. *Tip: ink up the stamp, stamp off once onto scrap paper, then stamp onto your art panel for a softer look.
Attach this layer to the card base using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.
Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 4" x 5 1/4" and die cut the larger of the decorative frames. Using Dimensionals, attach the frame overtop of the art panel and to the card base.
Stamp and die cut more of the flowers, all the different sizes using Calypso Coral Ink. Use the same stamping technique as described above.
Stamp and die cut some leaves using Garden Green Ink full strength and second generation.
I crumbled up some of the flowers in my hand for a bit more dimension. Attach the flowers using Dimensionals and then tuck the leaves underneath and use a bit of Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to attach them.
Stamp the sentiment from Go To Greetings in Memento Black Ink onto a scrap of Basic White C/S. Attach it to the card base using Dimensionals.
Add a double Linen Thread Bow attaching with a Glue Dot.
For the inside I cut a 3 1/2" x 5" piece of Basic White C/S and I stamped a few Calypso Coral flowers. I also did the same to my envelope.

So peaceful.....
I love all my beach treasures!
My parents over the last 22 years of living in Sointula have rescued and spayed or neuter over 20 cats. Some of them become friendly others not so much. They feed them all, provide shelter and safety. Some of them even decide that they like to live in the house. Some just can't bring themselves to go inside. It's always their choice. This is a photo of Ginger and Hissy. Ginger is very friendly and loving and Hissy.....well, he's not so friendly. When you give him his bowl of food, he hisses at you! Not very polite! LOL
Look at this beauty! Someone made this piece of art from driftwood and everyone that comes by leaves a little memento behind.
This is Coho Joes Cafe. They have amazing food and beverages!
Another great place for yummies is Malcolm Island Food Company. Try their Hello Dolly Bars!! 😋
The wood shed is covered in Virginia Creeper. It has beautiful green leaves all Spring and Summer then in the Fall it transforms into this amazing display of reds, oranges and burgundies.

Card Front Directions:
Cut a piece of Polished Pink Card Stock to 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 4 1/4" and 5 1/2". Burnish on the score lines.
Seal the spine portion of the card closed.
Cut the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper to: 1" x 4" for the spine portion and 4" x 4" for the other front portion. Attach both pieces to the card.
Cut a piece of the White Frayed Ribbon, flag cut both ends and attach to the card front.
Die cut a Basic White C/S label using the Sentimental Park Dies.
Stamp Happy Birthday using Night Of Navy Ink. Attach the label over the ribbon using Dimensionals.
Die cut a Basic White C/S floral stem, cut off the end and glue tucked a bit under the label.
Die cut a 2022-2024 In-Color 6X6 Glimmer Paper butterfly, attach using a Dimensional.
Add some 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the floral die.
Inside Directions:
I used a 6X6 piece of the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper that coordinates with the card front DSP.
Fold the DSP in half, burnish, open up and fold in half in the other direction, burnish. Then open it up and fold on the diagonal. The diagonal fold is only done one time. Pushing in on the diagonal folds, manipulate the DSP until it folds inwards.
Lay this DSP inside the card with the opening of the DSP facing out. Center it so that it is fully inside the card on all sides. It just fits!
Glue the 2 unfolded squares to the card. Start with one side first, add glue, close the card, then open it and glue the opposite side. Now when you open the card the DSP pops out!
Cut 2 pieces of Basic White C/S to 2 1/2" x 2 1/2". Stamp sentiment, flower, stem and border stamp using Night Of Navy, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent Inks.
*Tip: stamp on the diagonal!
Cut 2 piece of Balmy Blue C/S cut to 2 3/4" x 2 3/4". Attach the Basic White C/S squares to the Balmy Blue C/S squares and attach inside the card. Add an Opal Round to the flower center.
I hope you have enjoyed todays Fun Fold Card! I enjoy sharing with you and I hope I have inspired you!
Happy Stamping and Creating!
