Whimsy & Wonder Fun Fold


I just love the Whimsy &  Wonder specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP)! It is so beautiful on its own, that I don't want to cover it up, so this is a fairly simple card that lets the DSP shine. And you get to see both sides of the paper which makes this a great card layout to use for any DSP where you can't decide between 2 gorgeous prints on both sides. 

Before I start on the card, I want to remind everyone that if there is something you really want from the July-Dec Mini Catalog that you need to buy it soon. Starting 12/1 everything is while supplies last but a few products are on reduced price starting at that date. Email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com if you want a list of what is carrying over to next year and what is on sale starting 12/1.

Let's get going on making our card. First gather your supplies:
1. Polished Pink cardstock. 5 1/4 by 5 1/2" scored at 1" along the 5 1/4" side, a scrap for under the sentiment
2. Basic White for the inside  4 by 5 1/4" and a scrap for the sentiment
3. Silver Foil (#156457) scrap for the ornaments
4. Whimsy & Wonder  DSP cut 4 by 5 1/2" 
5. Stamp set--Whimsical Trees (#156330 or 156810 for the bundle)
6. Dies--Christmas Trees (#156339 or bundle #156810), Stitched so Sweetly (#151690)
7. Ink--Mint Macaron
8. Ribbon--Blushing Bride 3/8" Frayed Grosgrain (#156341)
9. Basic supplies--bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (Multipurpose Glue and Mini Glue Dots), Regular Dimensionals, Die Cutting and Embossing Machine (mini or regular)

Fold along the score line on your card base. Attach the Whimsy & Wonder DSP by adhering glue to the inside of the little, 1" part of the Polished Pink card base, being careful not to put any glue from the fold to about 1/4" out. Lay the DSP on top of the larger part of the Polished Pink paper and then fold (and hold it for a bit) the 1" pink strip on top of the DSP. If this doesn't make sense, or you are a more visual learner, you might want to watch my video below from my Facebook Live. I do a live every Monday at 1 pm PST at Stamp with Dr Robin if you want to find me

Now let's stamp. Using the second to smallest die from the Stitched so Sweetly set (one of my all time favorite die sets), cut out the sentiment piece in Basic White. Stamp "Joy" in Mint Macaroon and attach it to a Polished Pink piece cut from the next largest die from the same set as below. 

Now let's stamp the inside piece like below. The little bow on the bottom right was cut out of the DSP. Stamp the ornament stamp on your envelope. Attach the inside piece of Basic White to the main card base.



Now back to the front--attach your sentiment pieces with Dimensionals. Fussy cut an ornament from the DSP and attach it to the sentiment piece. Cut the baby ornaments out of Silver Foil and attach as many as you want to the outside and/or the inside of the card. 

Now for the ribbon. Cut the ribbon in half lengthwise and wrap it around the card and tie a knot. Then using 2 pieces of the cut in half ribbon (stack them on top of each other) make a bow and attach it on top of the knot using several Mini Glue Dots. Such an easy but beautiful card.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...

Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below.   Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:  1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8" 2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5...
