Today’s card is a fun fold card featuring the Shephard’s Care stamp set and the Winter Meadow DSP. I saw a video where Terri Gaines demonstrated a technique using the Metallic Enamel Effects Basics and I wanted to teach it to the members of my card club.
Here is what I came up
with…
The card base is Blueberry Bushel cardstock
cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”, 5 7/8”, 6 3/8” and 8”. I folded
the 4 ¼” score line like I would for any other card and burnished it with my
bone folder. Then I folded each of the
other scores to create mountain folds and burnished them as well. I added Tear & Tape down the small little
½” piece of the cardstock leaving it up I folded at the second score mark and removed
the back of the tape and folded the back of the card over top of the Tear &
Tape and pressed down. It creates a
pillar as shown in the photo below.
Next, I cut my Winter Meadow Designer
Series Paper. I cut it to 1 3/8 x 5 ¼” and 3 ½ x 5 ¼” (I used the blueberry bushel
colored paper for the card above but was using the pretty peacock color when I
took photos). I embossed these pieces
using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.
Then I added my Metallic Enamel Effects to both pieces. I placed the pieces on my Silicone Mat and
added a line of the Metallic Enamel Effects then using a B size stamp block I
rubbed it all over the block and then swiped that across my DSP (be careful not
to push down too hard and smear the color).
I set these aside to dry for a few minutes and went on with my die
cutting and stamping.
I die cut the second largest die from the Countryside
Corners dies out of Blueberry Bushel cardstock and two of the third largest
dies out of Basic White cardstock. I
stamped my shepherd from the stamp set onto one of the white die cut pieces
using Blueberry Bushel Ink and added the sentiment “Praying THAT YOU WILL FEEL
THE Good Shepherd’s CARE IN THIS Season AND THROUGHOUT THE Coming Year” also
from the stamp set and also in Blueberry Bushel Ink.
To decorate the card, I added the largest of the two pieces of DSP onto the bottom inside of the card and the smaller piece onto the front of the pillar. I adhered my sentiment inside centered just about ¼” off the left side (folded side). I adhered my Basic White with the Shepherd to the Blueberry Bushel die cut and add Dimensionals as shown below to attach it. Be sure to center this over the sentiment to cover it when the card is closed and don’t get your Dimensionals too high or low.
For the
final addition I stamped the star from the set with Daffodil Delight Ink onto a
scrap of Basic White cardstock and fussy cut it out (Note: I did shorten two of
the sides of the star to make it fit better on the card). I added Wink of Stella to it and added it to
the card with a Mini Glue Dot.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly
enjoyed making it. As always you can

Product ListToday’s card features the Regal Winter Designer Series Paper and the Regal Distress Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper. You know there is something really special about a Designer Series Paper that does all the work for you and these papers do just that. I love working with the vibrant regal colors in this collection.
Here is what I came up
with…
The card base is Pretty Peacock cardstock
cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 2 1/8” and 4 ¼”. The front of the card is folded to create a
tent like piece that the card front can be attached to. I cut a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock to
4 x 5 ¼” and added a piece of the Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty Designer
Series Paper (I chose to use the red) that measured 3 7/8 x 5 1/8” to
that. I added this to the front of the
card by centering it and adhering just the bottom half to my card so my tent
could pop up. Now to add some additional
layers.
I cut a piece of the Regal Winter Designer
Series Paper to 3 x 4” and a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock to 3 1/8 x 4 1/8”
and Pretty Peacock cardstock to 3 ¼ x 4 ¼” and adhered those pieces together
and added them centered on the card base.
I used one of the floral images from the Regal Flora Stamp Set and
stamped it in Pretty Peacock (I stamped it off twice before stamping the
cardstock so I had a faint image) on a scrap of Basic White cardstock and then
I stamped my sentiment “Happy Birthday” from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set over
it with Cherry Cobbler Ink. I die cut
this out using one of the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added a piece of the Cherry Cobbler and
Gold Satin Ribbon (about 7”) behind the sentiment and popped it up on my card
with Dimensionals.
Now to move on to the inside. I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x
5 ¼” and stamped that same little floral image I used earlier in Pretty Peacock
on the bottom left corner. I stamped the
sentiment “MAY ALL your wishes COME TRUE” from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set
onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock in Cherry Cobbler Ink and die cut it with
one of the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added
this to the bottom center of my inside about ½” from the bottom using
Dimensionals so that the sentiment would act as the catch to make my card stand
up like an easel.

Product ListToday’s card features the beautiful Meandering Meadows 6 x 6” Designer Series Paper. I love the beautiful watercolor scenes on this paper they are so much fun to work with. I wanted to use this paper to create a cute fun fold card where I got to maximize the 6 x 6” paper.
Here is what I came up
with…
The card base is Boho Blue cardstock cut
to 5 ½ x 11” and scored at 4 3/16 and 8 ½”.
I cut my DSP down to 5 1/8” high (save the scrap these strips make great
additions to card insides) and then cut it to 2 1/8” x 5 1/8” (left front) and 3
7/8 x 5 1/8” (right front). I cut two
pieces of Daffodil Delight cardstock one to 4 x 5 ¼” (right front) and one to 2
¼ x 5 ¼” (front left). Now it is time to
start cutting our angles, begin with the card base and make a mark 1” from the
top left on the panel that is 2 ½” wide.
Now place your base into your paper trimmer aligning your mark at the
top of the cutting blade and the bottom corner centered on the cutting track
and cut. The 2 ¼” wide Daffodil Delight
cardstock is marked at 7/8” from the top left and cut the same way. The DSP is marked at ¾” from the top left and
again cut the same way. Now you have
what you need to assemble your card.
Attach the DSP to the Daffodil Delight
cardstock and then attach those to your card.
Once you have the pieces all adhered you are ready for the final pieces. I stamped the sentiment “You’re On My Mind”
from the Quiet Reflection stamp set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using
Boho Blue Ink and die cut it using one of the circles from the Spotlight on
Nature Dies. Then I cut two scraps of
Daffodil Delight cardstock using the next larger die. I attached my sentiment to one of those and
then attached the second Daffodil Delight circle to the back of the first (I prefer
that finished look when you are going to see the back of a piece) and attached
it just to the left panel.
For the inside of the card, I cut a piece
of Basic White cardstock to 4 1/8 x 5 ¼”. I stamped the bottom of this panel using the
Fields In Bloom stamp set. I stamped the
foliage portions in Garden Green and the flowers in Daffodil Delight (I love
these two step stamps they really make things pop).
I was really happy with the way the card
turned out and I think it is a good generic card that could be used for lots of
things but especially to let someone know you are thinking of them and I can’t
think of a better reason to send a card.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it. As always you can find the supplies to create

Product ListToday’s card features the Shepherd’s Care Stamp Set and the Seasons of Elegance 12 x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper. I focused on a simple stamped image and only colored the Shepherd’s head scarf to show that simple can be very effective. I have to tell you this card taught me a trick I will be using again. If you use Wink of Stella on an image and then color over it with your Stampin’ Blends Markers the sparkle is way more intense than doing it the other way around. Unfortunately, no matter what I try I just can’t capture that sparkle in a picture.
Here is what I came up
with…
The card base is Old Olive cardstock cut
to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”. I cut
a piece of the Seasons of Elegance 12 x 12” Specialty DSP and added it to the
base. I cut a piece of Basic White
cardstock to 2 ¼ x 3 ¾” and stamped my Shepherd onto it using Old Olive
Ink. I let the ink dry for just a minute
and then I brushed Wink of Stella on just the head scarf and let that dry for a
few minutes. Then I colored the head scarf
going right over top of the Wink of Stella with my light Old Olive Stampin’
Blend Marker (I so wish you could see the affect it just shimmers). I added this to a piece of Old Olive
cardstock that I cut to 2 ½ x 4” and then mounted them onto the center of the
card base using Dimensionals. I stamped
my sentiment (also from the set) “Peace ON Earth” onto a scrap of Basic White
cardstock using Old Olive Ink and cut it out using a die from the Something
Fancy Dies. I added my sentiment using a
Dimensional on the left where it was off the focal image and then just used
adhesive where it was laying over the already popped image.
For the inside I selected one of the sentiments
in the set (you can mix and match sets all you like) and stamped it onto a
piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼” using Old Olive Ink. There you have it, one super easy, super fast,
yet elegant looking Christmas card done.

enjoyed making it. As always you can
