Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Soft Seedlings. It may look as though the card is difficult to create but it really isn’t! 

 

 

 

I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). After the paper is cut and scored, there are two side panels that open like a gate. I cut two pieces of Pool Party cardstock for each of the panels and ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. Then I adhered them to each side.

 

 

 

I cut two “flaps” out of Basic White cardstock and then added Texture Chic Designer Series Paper to each one. I adhered one flap to the right side (only adding adhesive to the part that would be touching that panel) and then added the other flap to the other side.  I hope that makes sense! It really is an easy card to make! 

I stamped the sentiment in Pool Party ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Soft Seedlings.  I then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the top flap. 

 

 

 

I have to give credit to Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Sue Campfield for the idea of this fun fold! I saw some cute cards she made with this fold and I had to give it a try with my own take on it. 

Here was my first try at making this card. I decided it needed something and that’s when I added the Pool Party panels.  I used the Season of Chic stamp set and the Natural Prints Dies.
