Season of Green & Gold Fun Fold


If you have missed the Season of Green & Gold Suite, you are not alone.  It is an Online Exclusive that came out a couple of months ago, so go to stampinup.com and check it out, or check out my Facebook Live below where I show everything in the suite and give you tips and tricks for making this card. The suite has the beautiful DSP I used on the card and the little die-cut leaves as well as some gorgeous vellum we didn't use on the card. The embellishments come in this clear/pearl as well as Cherry Cobbler in singles and groups of three, which are great for holiday cards and wreaths. And this fun fold is so easy but has a great impact when you open it up (see below). 

Let's make this card! Gather your supplies:
1. Season of Green & Gold --Card base 5 1/2"" by 11" scored on the long side at 2, 4, 8, 10". Scraps from one of the green & gold pieces for the die cuts
2. Very Vanilla cardstock-- scrap for the sentiment, inside piece 3 3/4"  by 5"
3. Old Olive cardstock--cut the 3rd largest circle using the Stylish Shapes
4. Stamp Sets--Golden Greenery, Everyday Greetings
5. Dies--Golden Greenery, Stylish Shapes
6. Ink--Mossy Meadow, Old Olive
7. Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries
8. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue and Seal+), Paper Trimmer, Take Your Pick Tool,  Regular Dimensionals

Here's the inside of the card. 

Start with the large piece of DSP and fold it like you are making a gate-fold card. Fold inwards on the inner score lines, then outwards on the outer (2 and 10") score lines. Make sure you have the DSP with the gold facing you and that the pattern isn't upside down as it does have a direction. Measure down 2" from the top on both outer edges and make a tick mark with a pencil. Now cut from the outer-most fold to that tick mark on both sides. Turn the little triangle you cut off upside down and glue it to the bottom outside corner as below. Simple but beautiful!


For the inside Very Vanilla piece use the two-step stamp as below in the corner. Stamp the stems in Mossy Meadow and the little heart-shaped leaves in Old Olive that has been stamped off (second generation). Attach this to the inside of the card. 




Now for the front of the card. Stamp your sentiment on the largest flagged die cut from Stylish Shapes using Mossy Meadow ink. Using the leaf dies from Golden Greenery cut some scraps of the DSP and attach them to the Old Olive circle. Attach your sentiment to the circle using Dimensionals. Attach the left side only of the circle to the left side of the closed card. Add 2 of the single Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries to the sentiment as below.


Here's another picture of the finished card. Now you could also cut the card base at 5 1/4" and then add a quarter sheet of cardstock behind it, but I didn't do that today.

  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"
