Fun Fold Easel Card & Lola's Birthday!

 Fun Fold Easel Card

I love making easy fun folds and this one is very easy! I used the gorgeous Floral Delight Designer Series Paper again, it is just so pretty!!

Directions: 

Start with a piece of Pool Party Card Stock cut to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score it at 4 1/4".

Open up the card, place it in your Stampin' Up! Trimmer and cut on the long side at 1 3/8" up to the score line, repeat of the other side. * See photo.

   

                                                                   𑁋𑁋𑁋 Score   ⎯⎯⎯ Cut                                                                     

On the middle section only, score at 2 1/8". Mountain fold it.

Attach a 3" x 4 1/8" piece of Basic White C/S to the inside then glue down both of the flaps.

Attach a 1 1/4" x 4 1/8" piece of the Floral Delight DSP to each flap.

Cut a 2 1/2" x 4" piece of Basic White C/S (I used a Radiating Stitches Die for mine).

Stamp a Pool Party Ink heart onto this layer using the Free Sale-A-Bration set "Heart Shaped".

Using the Free Heart Shaped Dies, die cut a Daffodil Delight C/S heart and attach it over top of the stamped heart.

Attach this layer to the middle pop up adding glue to only on the bottom section.

Die cut 2 Pool Party C/S hearts, 1 Daffodil Delight Heart and 4 Soft Sea Foam leaves, all from the Heart Shaped Die Set.

Die cut a Basic White label and stamp "thank you" in Pecan Pie Ink. Attach to the card over top of the heart.

Attach the flowers using Dimensionals and 2 of the leaves using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Stamp the trio of flowers in Pool Party Ink and die cut. Attach them using Dimensionals to the inside of the card about 2/3 of the way down, this acts as the stopper for the middle portion of the card so it will stand up. Attach the 2 remaining leaves using glue.

I also coloured all my flowers with some Wink Of Stella. Add some Rhinestone Gems to finish it off!

The card folds flat for mailing!

I hope you have enjoyed todays card and I hope I have inspired you to try this fun fold!

 Beautiful Wishes Card

Have you seen the new Delightful Wishes Suite Collection in the January-April 2025 Stampin' Up! Catalogue? It is stunning!! I have always loved Pool Party and Daffodil Delight together, it's so soft and Springy!

I also love that the word "wishes" can be die cut and those bees, adorable!!

Here is my card.

The card is a regular A2 card, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored in half at 4 1/4". 

I added a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Pool Party Card Stock that was embossed with the StarStruck Embossing Folder. You can earn this embossing folder for FREE during Sale-A-Bration 2025! 

Check out the SAB catalogue for all the details!

Cut a 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" piece of Basic White C/C and stamp the branch in Pecan Pie the flowers in Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lolly and leaves in Old Olive. Then tear off about a 1/2". 

Attach this layer to the Pool Party layer. I also splattered it with Wink Of Stella.

Stamp "wishing" in Pool Party onto Basic White C/S and Die cut. Attach to the card.

Stamp and die cut the sentiment using Pecan Pie Ink. Attach with Dimensionals. 

Add a small Daffodil Delight bow and a Bumblebee Trinket. 

Isn't this such a happy card!

For the inside I stamped the flower again and I added a thin strip of the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper with a small strip of Pecan Pie Card Stock behind it. 

Finding time in my craft room is always so rewarding! I hope you find some time to play and create too!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

 Reindeer Fun Card and Miss Lola with Santa

Todays card features the adorable Reindeer Fun Bundle from Stampin' Up!

 It also coordinates perfectly with the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper! It's on sale too!

Directions:

Cut a card base of Thick Basic White Card Stock to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and score in half.

Cut a piece of Real Red C/S to 3 3/4" x 5 1/4" and attach to the card base.

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 3 1/2" x 5", Using a Blending Brush and some Pool Party Ink, add a light layer of ink to the center of this layer. Then emboss with the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder. Wrap some Pool Party Pompom ribbon around this layer and tie into a knot on the left hand side. Attach this layer using Dimensionals to the Real Red C/S layer.

Stamp the sentiment in Early Espresso Ink onto a 3 3/4" x 1" piece of Basic White C/S. Flag cut the end and attach using Dimensionals.

Die cut or punch out a Pool Party C/S circle and a smaller Basic White C/S circle. Use any circle dies or punches that you have. Attach the pool Party C/S circle using Dimensionals to the card front, then attach the Basic White C/S circle over top. 

Die cut the deer pieces: 

The antlers are Early Espresso C/S, the inside ears are Basic White C/S and top Layer is Pean Pie C/S.                                                     

Attach all the pieces together using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Die cut a wreath from Shaded Spruce C/S. Glue behind the deer. Die cut a Real Red C/S bow and attach to the wreath. Attach the deer/wreath to the circle using Dimensionals. 

Add some Rhinestones to the wreath that have been colored using a red Sharpie Marker or a Real Red Stampin' Blends.

For the inside of the card and the envelope I stamped a Shaded Spruce Ink tree. 

I hope you find some time for yourself during the holidays. It can be stressful at times, so it's important to take some breaks for yourself. I love to go into my craft room and play or even just tidy and organize. I could spend hours organizing my room!!! 

Miss Lola has been soooooo good this year that she decided she wanted to visit Santa so she could brag, I mean tell him how good she has been. So we drove her out to see him. Santa already knew she has been a good girl so it was no surprise to him, but he still sat patiently while she filled him in on all her goodness! He also wished her an early happy 14th birthday, she was so excited that he remembered! Lola even got to see other doggies and kittys at Santas place,  apparently she wasn't the only good girl. She was so excited and happy that she was doing helicopter tail wags! Of course she got a treat from Santa, another highlight of her visit. Way to go Lola! We are very proud of you and love you very much!

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Love and Hugs,

Arlene and Lola Bean!
