You’ll leave with inspirational ideas, and maybe a few new must-haves on your wishlist!

I really love all the new In Colors recently revealed by Stampin’ Up!, but for today’s card, I chose Strawberry Slush. What a fun color! I wasn’t with SU! when Strawberry Slush was first introduced and then retired, so I am doubly enjoying this warm, luscious shade, perfect for summer! I used two fun bundles for this project: the Coneflower Celebrations and the Patterns of Friendship bundle. Here’s my fun fold card:

Thanks to Lynn Dunn for the fun fold layout! I started with a card base of Basic White: 10 3/4″ x 5 1/2″, scored on the 10 3/4″ side at 1 5/8″, 3 1/4″, 7 1/2″, and 9 1/8″. I burnished all the score marks to make this pattern with the paper:

• I cut two panels of Basic White cardstock: one at 2 3/4″ by 4 3/4″ and one at 2 1/2″ x 3 3/4.” I ran these two white panels through the Cut & Emboss machine with the new Patterns of Friendship die. This die adds tiny needlepoint patterns into the cardstock, creating an interesting and textured background.
• I cut two pieces of the 2025-2027 In Color Designer Series Paper, using a Strawberry Slush pattern, one at 3 x 5″ and one at 2 1/2″ x 4″. I then adhered the needlepointed panels onto the DSP panels.
• I put glue on the left side only of the larger died panel, and glued it to the card base on the left flap with about 1/2″ of space all around, as you see in the photo below:

I took the smaller needlepointed panel and add Stampin’ Dimensionals, one row only, down the right side of the back, closer to the edge of the panel. After adhering that panel to the right flap of the card base, you should be able to tuck the left larger panel behind the right panel to close the card completely.

I then cut out two layers of the coneflower die in Strawberry Slush paper, and stamped one coneflower before cutting that out with the coordinating die as well. I glued the three layers together, and then cut out a flower center using Pecan Pie cardstock. I adhered the center on top of the flower. I then stamped and cut out a stem and two leaves using Granny Apple Green cardstock and ink. I glued the flower and greenery to the card, cutting off the excess stem and went off the side of the card. I made sure the card folded nicely with no overlapping pieces off the outside edge so it’ll fit nicely in an envelope.

Once the coneflower was in place, I created a small sentiment piece using a greeting from the Patterns of Friendship stamp set and glued it so it would be hidden by the coneflower when the card is closed.

For the center of the card, I cut a 3″ x 4 1/4″ piece of In Color DSP, and a 2 3/4 x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock. I then adhered the white piece to the DSP. You can stamp a sentiment or other decorations first before gluing the panels to the inside of the card, centering it.

I used embellishments to add a little bling to the front of the card and I was through!
