I saw the card I have to share today on a reel from Little Lemon Press. Immediately I knew I had to try this Fun Fold. It is a combination of everything I love. There is a Fun Fold, DSP, and then some of my ideas to complete it. And did I mention it is actually very simple!! This is a triple win. Especially if you have a stash of DSP in your craft space. I will not even ask for a show of hands to that question!!
The paper itself is a winner as we all have said. This card has three layers of it. Next is number two, which is a simpler layer and could have some creativity added to it as well.
I used the simpler pattern for this second view. And then the inside is the final view.
There is more of the beautiful paper to see here as well.
Papers
Obviously the DSP is the star of this card. Especially since there is a variety of it. This is the Moonlit Floral Designer Series Paper. I chose one of the extra special sheets for the front. Not that they are not all gorgeous. Then the inside parts of the card is just one sheet that you see both sides of. I decided to use the side I consider to be the prettier one for the big inside view. And as I mentioned under the photos, I think some additional details could be added to the green on green layer.
The card base is Basic White. I used the normal weight, not the Thick since there were going to be layers of DSP on all parts. Then the inside sentiment area is also Basic White. I did use a small piece of Golden Glow cardstock for the front sentiment layer. It was perfect to match those little golden flowers.
There are also leaves of two of the greens included in the paper. I chose Mossy Meadow for the curly leaf. And then Old Olive for the fern looking leaf. They add so much texture to the card hanging off of the sentiment layer.
Stamp Bundle
The Stamps and Dies are the Fern & Flora Bundle. There are some sweet sentiments and then leaves and flowers, with a few butterflies in the stamp set. Then the Dies are extra detailed on the leaves. And there is a Die for the butterflies I used as well. Plus the sentiment frame is the perfect size. It has just enough of that “ticket” corner to add detail.
Extras
The Extras are minimal. You could count the butterflies as Extras since I have them floating around on the front and the one on the inside sentiment area. Even though I left that without a sentiment. I felt it be a Thankful card I would write my own message there. So the Bling is the real Extra. I went back to an all time favorite and used Rhinestones. You can never go wrong with Rhinestones. I added one on the head of each of the butterflies, except the one not die cut on the inside. A little bit of glow for this night shaded paper.
Measurements
The Little Lemon Press reel I saw included the measurements. But I will give the ones I used. The card base is Basic White cut 7 1/4 X 5 1/2 and scored at 3″. For the DSP layer on the front it is 3 X 5 1/2. The inside large DSP sheet measures 7 1/2 X 5 1/2 and is scored at 3 1/4. I cut the Basic White inside to 3 X 5 1/4. And the Golden Glow behind the die cut sentiment measures 2 1/2 x1 1/4. Please give this one a try. I think you will love it.

I am continuing my group of cards made with the Love Notes Designer Series Paper. It is such a fun paper and makes cards in a snap. Today’s is EX-tra Fun I think.
Love Notes in a Cup
All of the papers, with the exception of the card base and layer, are the Love Notes DSP. As I have said several times, this paper is so much fun to use. It is like “what can I pair together next?”. Personally I was overjoyed when I saw these purple layers. Purple, along with orange, are my favorite colors. So this was meant to be.
The purple polka dot layer is so cute with the faded look going on. And the strip of plaid is the reverse of another sheet of the DSP I had trimmed. It matches the heart on the cup. And the two are what gave me the Flirty Flamingo as the card base and layer.
Extras
This is maybe the simplest of all of the Love Notes cards I have made. So there is only one extra today. But it is also a favorite that I am so happy is still an active product. It is the Purple Shimmer Gems. These are so pretty as they come in a variety of purples. Almost like the polka dot DSP, there are different shades of purple. They are a great embellishment to have on hand.

I have been back from an Amazing Stampin’ Up! OnStage Event for a couple of days. A fun time was had for sure. We all received the upcoming Annual Catalog as well as some sneak peeks at upcoming May Online Exclusives. There are some awesome products in both releases.
This is a reminder to please check out the Online Exclusives currently available. Samples are shown with each product the same as in the catalog. I will admit that it has taken me a bit of time to get used to looking online. But then I think that I do this with most of the places I shop regularly. So why not with SU!
The card I have to share today is a simple Thank You type card. It is for all of you. You have all supported me in some way with my business and I am very grateful! This is a simple layout that can be simplified or taken up a notch, depending on your time or wishes.
STAMPS
The stamped images are both from the Memorable Blooms stamp set. There is a bundled Die set, but I opted to stamp the floral image on the larger white layer. I had chosen the DSP first so colored the floral with Stampin’ Blends to match the paper. The flowers are Pretty In PInk with Pretty Peacock as the leaves.
To add the sentiment layer was a bit of a trial! The way everything layed out did not leave much room. So I got creative and left a straight edge along the top and sides with the bottom fussy cut. I actually like how it turned out. To create this, I first fussy cut the sentiment and then layered that onto the Pretty Peacock paper. Then it was fairly easy to fussy cut around the fussy cut. LOL!!!
PAPERS
There are actually two different sheets of DSP used. Both are from the Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper. This 6X6 pack is so fun with the lily pond and duck images on one side and complimentary design sheets on the reverse. I have used two of the reverse sides. The sentiment layer is a soft dotted pattern. And the strip of little flowers is what brought in the Pretty Peacock cardstock. I chose that as the thin layers and Pretty In Pink as the card base.
The card base measures 5 1/2 X 8 1/2. I added the thin layer of Pretty Peacock at 5 1/8 X 3 7/8. That left the Basic White layer to 5 X 3 3/4. And the DSP strip on the left only runs the length of the White. It measures 1 1/8 X 3 3/4.
EXTRAS
The DSP strip and the fussy cut sentiment added some extra touches to the card layout. So it really did not require a lot of Extras! It did require bling however. I went with the extra bling in 5 Rhinestone jewels. They are scattered around the flowers and a single one added to the sentiment.

I love making little treat holders to hand out to the nice people I encounter regularly. The ones I have to share today have been around for some time. Actually I had a lady message me asking exactly how it went together. So after playing with it to help her, I decided I should make some to hand out. It is a Double Treat Holder. I have used it for Ghirardelli Chocolates and Tea Bags. This one has gorgeous DSP to make it extra special.
I have the directions at the bottom of the post. They are pretty simple to score and fold.
STAMPS & DIES
This sweet stamp is is from the Mixed Labels Bundle. And the adorable Die cut shape is made using one of the matching Dies. I love the stitching with detail around the edge. Plus the new shape is wonderful. On The opposite side of the treat holder I added a little note card. The sentiment from it is from the fabulous So Sincere stamp set. It is definitely one that is a keeper for some great sentiments.
The the opposite side of the treat holder is the exact same size as the front. You could add a second treat there in place of a note. Here is a view of that side.
PAPERS
This gorgeous paper is the Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper. It is back in stock now so Woohoo!! The gold marbling is on one side with red, cherry cobbler, pretty in pink, white, and gold. The stamping was done on good ol’ Basic White. So a simple supply project as well.
EXTRAS
The Cherry Cobbler and Gold ribbon used to hold the sides together is from Holiday Catalog that just went out. It is still available but with low inventory. For the bling I used the Gold Textured Adhesive Dots. There are three different sizes and I used the middle size to add a touch of gold to the main sentiment.
DIRECTIONS
The treat holder uses a 6X6 piece of DSP. Use your Simply Scored Scoring Tool. I have drawn a line down the center of mine from the 6″ mark using a Black Sharpie. This makes the steps for this project much easier. So….place the DSP on the scoring tool with a point at the 6″ mark and the other lines up in the 6″ line. You have a diamond shape. Score at 4 1/2 and 7 1/2. Make a turn in either direction and score at 5 1/4, 6, and 6 3/4.
Fold and burnish on all of the score lines. Decide which paper you want to be on the outside front folds, like where my sentiment is. Now fold the two side score folds towards the center. They overlap a bit and that is perfect. Then fold the three center scores with the center one making a mountain. Fold the other two so they meet to make the shape. There is no adhesive needed! Here is a view of the side so you can see those center score lines as they need to fold. Let me know if you have any problems.

My card today is for one of the sweetest people I know. She does so much for everyone and I am honored to call her a friend. As a special Thank You, I made this card and hope you are as happy with it as I am.
STAMPS
This sentiment is so perfect for the intended recipient. It is a bit different than normal, but fits the bill perfectly. The fun font is awesome as well. I love a different font. This one is from the Penciled Pear stamp set. That set is a hidden gem in the Annual Catalog. The inside sentiment is from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set. There is also a matching flower from the Painted Lavender stamp set inside. Here is a view of the open card. It is a Double Z fold.
PAPERS
The card base ,or bases, since there are two Z folds are Pretty Peacock cardstock. And all of the DSP is from the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper. I normally do not put DSP on the inside of the Z base. However I saw one recently that had done so, and it really added to the card. So I saw this tone on tone floral in the paper pack and said Why Not! Additionally the surround for the front sentiment is also included in the DSP pack. I believe it is the opposite side of this main floral pattern.
EXTRAS
There is only one extra for this card. And that is very surprising even to me! It is the Die used for the sentiment on the front of the card. This Die is from the Unbounded Love Die set. It is one Die, but it cuts the outside and inside both. So it was simple to cut the DSP and then the White with the sentiment separately. Then I simply put them back together again. Plus I now have a White outside and plaid inside leftover for another card. Two for the price of one!
MEASUREMENTS
The Pretty Peacock card base is 11 X 4 1/4 and scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2. The inner card is also Pretty Peacock and is 10 1/2 X 3 1/4, and is scored at 4 1/2 and 7 1/2. There are different DSP on each of the layers. For the card base the DSP measures 2 pieces @ 2 1/2 X 4, these are the front and center. And the inside back is 5 1/4 X 4. For the smaller card, the DSP is 4 1/4 X 3 for the front. The middle section is 2 3/4 X 3. The back White layer that is stamped on is 2 3/4 X 3 also.

Sometimes Thank You cards can be difficult to make. The gorgeous Stampin’ Up! DSP makes this pretty easy in my opinion. I have one of these to share today. All it takes is a little bit of extra parts.
STAMPS
The stamps used on this card are the most simple parts of the card. This front simple, but exactly right, sentiment is from the Translucent Florals stamp set. This is a Thank You for someone who has been a life saver in a way. How do you express Thanks to someone who goes the extra mile besides this sentiment. I think it is perfect.
PAPERS
The DSP is really the star of the card. The lady loves scenery and what could be better than this gorgeous paper. It is from the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper. There are several different and equally beautiful scenes. I used this pretty scene as the color choices for the rest of the card. The Azure Afternoon is not one I have ever paired with Fresh Freesia before. If it works in the scene, then it works for me. And it really does!
EXTRAS
To give some additional texture and to help draw your eye to the sentiment, I added an embossed layer to separate the parts of the card. It also saved from adding stamping or additional DSP to the background. I used the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder for this layer. It really has great texture.
The bling on this card is two gold pieces from the Mini Catalog. Behind the sentiment is a strip of Wild Wheat Rustic Stripe Ribbon. Just the little strip was a perfect touch. And of course bling! A single Gold Texture Adhesive Dot was the final touch.
