I hope you have your new Mini Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration catalog! They are both awesome! This is the first time for a 2 SAB. I love the idea of spitting up this Free products event. Today I am sharing one of the stamp sets that is available when you purchase $100.00 in product. It is the Delicate Dahlias.
Stamps
I love this Delicate Dahlias stamp set. This flower is a two step stamp, but it also has the definition and shading in the filler stamp. It really produces a lovely image. I used Misty Moonlight Ink for the filler stamp and Night of Navy Ink for the outline. They really work well together.
The sentiment is from the stamp set also. I finished both the flower and the sentiment with a bit of bling. These are the Blue Adhesive Gems. The different sizes are great and definitely needed the larger one for the flower.
Paper
To compliment the blue flower I went with this great piece of DSP from the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper. It is one of the most vibrant ones in the pack. And the mix of blues and cajun craze are a perfect blend.
There are other great choices in the paper, but I went with the Misty Moonlight and Cajun Craze for my background and layers. The sentiment and background are given added dimension with the Banner Pick A Punch.
Measurements
Misty Moonlight card base is cut 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored and folded at 4 1/4
Basic White layer is 5 1/4 X 4
DSP layer is 5 1/8 X 3 7/8
Cajun Craze flower layer is 3 1/8 X 3 1/8

Sentiment layer of Cajun Craze is 3/4 X 2 3/4
Sentiment is 5/8 X 2 1/2

Before I get to today’s project, I wanted to remind you it is the last day of the Designer Series Paper Sale!! 15% Off of select Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog. The list is at the bottom of the post, so don’t forget to check it out.
Today I am using one of those gorgeous papers that are on sale. It is the Beauty Of The Earth Designer Series Paper. For the time of year with all of the green we have going on, I opted for the pattern with a lot of green in it.
Products
For what appears to be a rather simple card, I used quite a lot of different products. I did a mix & match on this one for sure. The beginning of the card was this sheet of DSP. The wood is the back side of the green trees and leaves.
To continue the nature look I added a dandelion. Those things grow everywhere!! This one is from the Garden Wishes and the matching Dandy Wishes Dies. These were a Bundle, but now are only available individually.
The sentiment is from the Grapevine Bundle. It fits perfectly inside the matching die. And with the shape of the die, it does not need a layer behind it.
Layout
With the nature theme from the paper, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the back of the paper was the wood look. After seeing that I wanted to use both sides. This is a simple layout that enables me to do that without using a lot more of the DSP. The DSP is cut 3 3/4 X 5. I then cut it to 2 1/2 X 5 and 1 3/4 X 5. The White layer behind is 4 X 5 1/4, so a normal layer size.
The finishing touches are very simple. The ribbon is a wonderful one that I was thrilled to see carry over to the Annual Catalog. It is Early Espresso Faux Suede Trim. The ribbon looks thick, but is dreamy to work with. And for the finishing touch I added some of the Genial Gems. A large one is in the center of the Dandelion and two smaller ones with the sentiment.

The upcoming Mini Catalog has awesome Fall and Winter products as expected. But there are a few that include stamps that work anytime of year. The Clever Cats is one of those stamp sets. And since I love cats…..you know I had to have it!
Stamp Set(s)
Normally I would say I used a certain set at this point. However for this card, I combined a few different sets I started with the Clever Cats stamp set and this Fat Cat! He reminds me of my male cat, who is a bit on the round side!! I had just used the cake plate from Sweets & Treats stamp set and when I saw it, the idea was born.
With the cake plate, and a little masking, it allows Fat Cat’s tail to hang over perfectly. This also led me to the sentiment. I immediately thought of him eating, or pushing off, the cake. I knew Way To Goat had the perfect sentiment. The “I got you a cake” along with the inside sentiment “But I ate it”. The perfect pairing for this card.
Paper and Details
I chose the greens for the card more from not having used green colors in a while. The DSP is from Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper. It is paired with Just Jade cardstock and a thin layer of Smoky Slate cardstock.
To give the sentiment a bit more presence, I used the Ornate Frames to layer it. I love the shape. It is almost like a plaque on the wall. And the cat would be happy to announce what he had done! The finish of the 2021-2023 In Color Jewel is all this one needed.
Measurements
All of the products are listed in the supply list at the bottom of the post with the exception of the Clever Cats and Sweets & Treats sets. The photos are not available yet.
The base card of Just Jade is cut 4 1/4 X 11, scored and folded at 5 1/4
The Smoky Slate layer is cut 3 7/8 X 5 1/8
The DSP layer is cut 3 3/4 X 5
The front Smoky Slate layer is cut 2 1/2 X 3 1/8
The stamped cat layer is cut to 2 3/8 X 3

This is my first time doing a Paper Share, so I hope you will sign up. You can see all of the information and the sign up form by Clicking HERE.
Now, on to the card for today. This is another one using the Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper. You all are probably familiar with how gorgeous this paper is. It does so much of the work by itself.
The Paper
As I mentioned at the top, this DSP is so beautiful that it is a wonderful card all by itself. There are a couple of sheets like this one with white running through the middle. I love being able to cut the paper to use the sheets like this one without covering up any of the color and the gold.
Of course I chose the other colors based on the DSP. The green is Soft Succulent and was chosen as a soft pairing for the Magenta Madness of the rose. The paper has both Magenta Madness and Polished Pink. I used the softer Polished Pink as the cardstock layers.
Stamps and Dies
The stamps used for the flower, leaves, and sentiment are from the Artistically Inked stamp set. I used the matching Artistic Dies for the stamped leaves and flower, and also for the DSP cut small flower above the Thanks. You can save 10% by purchasing the stamp and dies as a bundle.
The little flower cut from the DSP does not show the shape as well as I thought it would in the photo. But you cannot miss the great gold running through it. To finish the card I added a gold gem from the Genial Gems to the center of large flower. Gold is always a good choice!!!

I have found another Fun Fold card to share. You may have seen this design from fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Sue Campfield. She has a couple of posts and videos on it. I fell in love immediately and had to give it a try.
Corner Tuck Fun Fold
As I said at the top of the post, this card is from Susan Campfield and she has a video. I used her basic measurements and added a little bit. The inside of her card did not have an extra layer. To add a bit of carry through, I stamped the Misty Moonlight layer with the stamped tree images. These are from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set. I thought they worked perfectly with the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper.
The other thing I added was the layer of cardstock behind the DSP strip on the left side of the front. It seemed the DSP sort of bled into the base color. I also used that strip to anchor the front square focal layer. I centered and placed the square layer right up against that left strip. That allowed me to better center everything. You can see from the photo that the layer tucks underneath the corner but is still fairly centered on the card.
Here is the view of the open card.
Stamps and Paper
The star of this card, besides the fun fold, is the DSP. I mentioned above that it it the Beauty of The Earth Designer Series Paper. This is what most people would think of as the back side. You know how I love using the back side!! And I love that the corner piece and the other two containing the trees are all from the same sheet of paper. The corner piece is from the top of the paper.
In trying to add some texture and detail to the inside of the card, I decided some matching trees would be the perfect thing. By finding this similar tree in the Perfectly Plaid set, it seemed just meant to be. It is a carryover from the last two holiday catalogs and a favorite of mine. I love the small tree images that work for various seasons and needs.
The sentiments are from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set. These are perfect for any time. We should let people know whenever they inspire us in some way. The mix of fonts are always something that draws me to a sentiment. The front sentiment is cut using a die from the Painted Labels Dies. It is finished off with a Glitter Ribbon to ground it.
Measurements and My Directions
Card base of Night of Navy is cut 4 1/4 X 8 and scored at 2 1/2
Inside layer of Misty Moonlight is cut to 5 1/4 X 4 1/8
Front left Misty Moonlight layer is cut to 1 X 4
Front left DSP layer is cut to 7/8 X 3 7/8
Center Misty Moonlight layer is cut to 3 1/8 X 3 1/8
Center DSP layer is cut to 3 X 3
Inside White layer is cut to 3 X 3
The right corner is Night of Navy cardstock and a piece of DSP. Both are cut to 3 X 3 and then each is cut on the diagonal. Save one half piece from each paper for later.
Glue the triangle of DSP and cardstock together to make a stronger corner. Add dimensionals to each corner.
Stamp the tree image on the Misty Moonlight inside layer using Misty Moonlight Ink that you stamp off first.
Adhere this layer to the inside of the card.
Adhere the corner piece flush against the corners of the inside.
Test fold the front flap and make sure it clears the point of the corner layer. You may need to trim just a fraction off of that end.
Layer and add the Left side strip to the left edge of the front flap. Space it evenly at top, bottom, and left side.
Add the focal layer right up against strip.
Place the White inside sentiment in the center of the inside and it should be hidden by the front flap.
