F is for Fun Fold Flap Card

May 16, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 8 Comments

Welcome to my ABC’s with Fun Folds series. Today’s card is a Fun Fold Flap which I made into a gift card holder.

I love ice cream!!! One of my favorite places to go for ice cream is Sweet Frog. Oh Yum!!! The frog from the Love You Lots Stamp Set was perfect for this card. This hostess stamp set will be retiring at the end of this month. I adore all the critters in this set!

Love You Lot Host Stamp Set

I stamped the frog in Basic Black on Shimmery White then colored it with my Aqua Painter and Wild Wasabi ink. I punched it out with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. I also punched a 2″ Circle from Melon Mambo cardstock and adhered the two together.

My Wild Wasabi cardstock measures 4 1/4 x 9. I scored it at 1 3/4 and 6. I cut a 2 3/4 x 4 piece of Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the front of my card. Then I centered the 2 inch Circle Punch over the score line on the inside of my card and punched.

I adhered a piece a piece of 4 x 4 Whisper White cardstock on the inside of my card. (It will cover part of the punched out circle.) I attached my layered circle on top making sure I could easily open and close the flap. I used Tear & Tape to seal the flap on the bottom to make a pocket for the gift card. Then I cut a 1 1/2 x 4 piece of the confetti DSP and adhered it to the pocket. I stamped the sentiments from the Cool Treats Stamp Set in Wild Wasabi ink. The small heart is punched from Melon Mambo cardstock.

I wrapped a piece of the NEW 3/8″ Mini Chevron Ribbon (available June 1st) around the card and tied a bow. You can easily slide it to open the card. I love how you can see the adorable little frog when the card is opened and closed.

Stamp Sets: Love You Lots (retiring hostess set), Cool Treats Ink: Wild Wasabi, Basic Black Papers: Wild Wasabi, Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Series Paper (retiring) Tools & Accessories: 1 3/4″ Circle Punch, 2″ Circle Punch, Heart Punch, Aqua Painter, Min Chevron Ribbon, Tear & Tape Adhesive

I know several people who would love to receive this “Sweet Gift”. We had an exchange student from Germany stay with us and she loved Sweet Frog as much as the rest of my family.

So many choices!!

What’s your favorite ice cream topping?

Have a Fantastic Day!

A Sneak Peek at Birthday Memories

April 22, 2017April 21, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 3 Comments

I have shared with you some of the fun times I had at the Stampin’ Up! OnStage event. In addition to getting the new catalog, receiving free gifts and prizes, seeing new product display boards, participating in card swaps, and sharing ideas with fellow demonstrators, we got to play with some new products and stamp sets. Previously I shared the adorable little crate we made. You can see that post HERE. Today I have a card I made showcasing the new Birthday Memories Suite.

The banner and fox were cut from the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper using the Birthday Friends Framelits Dies. The Birthday Delivery Stamp Set has 23 photopolymer stamps with great fonts and adorable vintage storybook characters. The teacher in me loves this set. The bundle includes the stamp set, Designer Series Paper, and Framelits and will be available in June. Here’s some more ideas from the display boards.

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek.

Have a wonderful day!
