Hello and welcome back! So today's post is for the Inspire and Create with Stampin' Up!® team which is a brand new group of Stampin' Up!® demonstrators sharing our creations every 2 weeks highlighting different techniques and themes.

Today's theme was a Fun Fold. I don't often do fun folds, so I decided to keep it quite simple for my card today. I created a gatefold card using the Art in Bloom Bundle and attached the flowers to go over the opening to create more continuity.

Today I used the Art in Bloom Stamp set and combined it with the Pattern Party DSP (a Host Rewards item), Penned Flowers Dies, Stampin' Blends and the From My Heart Faceted Gems.

Measurements:

- Basic White card base A4/Letter cut in half lengthwise and folded.

- Pattern Party DSP (total width of the two pieces of DSP): A4 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"/ 14.4 cm x 10 cm or Letter 4" x 5 1/4"

Hello again! Today's card is one I made using a whole lot of different sets. I entered this card into this weeks TGIF Challenges Inspiration Challenge #TGIFC331 which was "Walk on the Wild side".

Now this weeks card is a last minute entry after a hectic week, so I do have to apologise for only getting one photo of this card. The leaves and branches were my main element to correlate with the challenge, but they almost remind me of a deer and its antlers which I think adds to the effect.

I used the new Seasonal Labels and Intricate Leaves Dies (from the Aug-Dec Mini Catalogue), as well as the Art in Bloom stamp set, Expressions in Ink Specialty DSP and the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

(**Please note that it is the Intricate Leaves not Labels dies as in the title of the post. I have not amended the title as I did not want to affect the permalink for this post.**)

Don't forget to visit my Tutorial page for the Dandy Garden Mega Tutorial Bundle which contains 62 tutorials for Dragonfly and Dandy Garden inspiration from Demonstrators all over the world. I also have my Love You Always - Mosaic Card Tutorial available as a tutorial too.

Instructions:

- Use a piece of Thick Basic White card A4/Letter cut in half lengthwise and folded. 

- Use a smaller piece of Thick Basic White and adhere a Polished Pink Ombré Gift Bag that you have cut down to size using Liquid Glue. Stamp various images from the Art In Bloom stamp set using Polished Pink onto the Ombre Gift Bag. Attach this layer to the card base using Stampin' Dimensionals. 

- Stamp the Art in Bloom large floral images onto Vellum with Versamark and then heat emboss with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. Use the coordinating dies to die cut the stamped images as well as more flowers and leaves using Vellum and Basic White card. 

- Use Blending brushes to add a touch of Polished Pink ink to the small die cut white flowers. Use Stampin' Blends to add some Polished Pink to the large flowers, and Soft Succulent to the die cut leaves.

- Stamp the sentiment from the Art in Bloom stamp set using Versamark ink onto a small strip of Basic Black and heat emboss with White Stampin' Emboss Powder.  Attach the sentiment to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.

- Use some 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels and Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials to add some sparkle to the card.
