Forever Fern Sneak Peek Fancy Fold Card

May 22, 2020

Hello Friends,

I'm a sucker for ferns. I love their lacey beauty! So when I saw the Forever Fern Bundle in the Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Preorder, I just knew that I would have to have it. All I can say is "GORGEOUS"! Today's video tutorial gives you a Sneak Peek of the Forever Fern Bundle and teaches you how to make a simple Z-Fold Card. This Fancy Fold Card is an impressive card that's simple to make. You may remember that I used the same Fancy Fold yesterday to make a card with the Beautiful Friendship stamp set. See it here.

Watch the quick video above to learn how to make this impressive card. It's easier than you might think.

To make a full-size card you will need 12" x 12" Whisper White Card Stock. Cut your card base 12" x 5-1/2". Score at 4" and 8".

Colors used for today's Forever Fern Card are Coastal Cabana, Pear Pizzazz, Shaded Spruce, Mint Macaron, Pool Party, and Garden Green. The band, ribbon, and die-cut piece are Just Jade.

The Z-Fold Card extended the beauty of my card. Plus, I got to stamp more of the pretty fern images.

As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I had the luxury of ordering this beautiful bundle early. You could have it early to with the purchase of the Stampin' Up! Starter kit. See more about becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and joining my team here.

Have a fabulous day,

Beautiful Friendship Stamps for the Joy of Stamping

May 21, 2020

Hello Friends,

I honestly don't know if it is possible to make a "bad card" with the Beautiful Friendship stamp set. This is a stamp set that you buy simply for the joy of stamping because you cannot possibly go wrong. For today's card, I started with a blank canvas of Whisper White Card Stock.

For even more stamping fun I increased the size of my card to 5-1/2" x 12". I scored at 4" and 8", then I sliced a triangle from the front two panels for a layered Z-Fold look.

My biggest tip when stamping randomly with lots of stamps is to work from the biggest stamps to the smallest stamps until you are happy with the results. Today's ink colors are Flirty Flamingo, Soft Seafoam, Poppy Parade, Highland Heather, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzaz, and Garden Green. The Garden Green was a marker to color the stems.

The good news is that the Beautiful Friendship stamp set #149252 will carry over into the new 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Catalog! The Beautiful Friendship stamp set works well for the beginner stamper, the seasoned stamper and everyone in-between.
