Happy Monday! I hope you had a nice weekend and that your day has started well!
Today I have a Joy Fold card using lots of new products! You can see how the card opens up in my picture below. I really love the watercolor effect so I think that’s why this stamp set appeals to me so much. It’s called Painted Petals and I’ve matched it up with the Painted Blooms DSP. The base of my card is Wild Wasabi and the insert uses my favorite In Color, Blackberry Bliss. To hold the card closed, I used one of our beautiful shiny Something Borrowed Embellishments. If you love bling, you’ll really like these!

The products I used to make my card are listed below. Click on a thumbnail and you’ll be taken directly to that page on my online store.

I gave this card to a friend several weeks ago when she was going back to work after a lengthy illness. I wanted to wish her good luck as she ventured back and let her know that I was thinking of her.
I wish my card had photographed better as it is so sparkly in person but that really isn’t being picked up in the photo.
Here’s how I made the card. First, I used the Stars Framelits to cut out the star shape on the front of the card. I cut another star the next size down out of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper. I embossed my sentiment with silver embossing powder using Butterfly Basics from the Occasions catalog. I used a piece of our Silver Fancy Foil Designer Series Vellum and adhered it to the base of my card by running snail adhesive along the silver stripes so that it wouldn’t be seen. I popped my Whisper White star piece up with Stampin’ Dimensionals as well as my Dazzling Diamonds star. Quick and easy but oh so pretty! Thanks to Dawn Griffith for this idea!
