Hello and welcome everyone.
It's Week 22 of the Colour Creations Showcase from the Art With Heart team.
Tonight's featured colour is Just Jade, one of our 2020-2022 In Colours.
I first saw this Fun-Fold design on the YouTube channel of Mixed Up Craft by Samantha Clayton. It's called a Pop-Out Gate Fold card and it's a really great layout for making a feature of the sentiment and embellishments.
It does fold flat for mailing, although it might cost a little more than the normal price of a stamp depending on how much you embellish, a card like this is worth spending a bit more on postage I think.
I chose this pattern from the Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper pack. I love the Just Jade background colour with the lovely Poppy Parade poinsettias and pale white leaves. The patterns in this pack feature all of our 2020-2022 In Colours. I matted the DSP with Just Jade card stock, and the centre Whisper White strip was embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.
I used a die from the Ornate Layers Dies, cut from Poppy Parade card stock, on top of this I added a Stitched So Sweetly die-cut rectangle from Just Jade card stock. The sentiment from the Dove Of Hope stamp set was stamped in Just Jade classic ink onto Whisper White card stock and cut out with the label die, also from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
I used the poinsettia die from the Wreath Builder Dies to create the Poppy Parade flowers that consist of two die-cuts each and a small circle, also from this die set, cut from Bumblebee card stock for the centres.
To complete the embellishing I added three Bumblebee enamel dots and a double bow in Poppy Parade ribbon from the combo ribbon pack called All The Trimmings from the Aug-Dec Mini Catalogue.
On the back of the card, there is plenty of room for writing a personal message.
I added a strip of DSP to the back of a 6" square envelope, leaving space at the top to write my 'sender' details.

Here's a pic of the first Pop-Out Gate Fold card that I made earlier this year. As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I think this is a great layout for making a feature of your sentiments and embellishments, and also of our wonderful Designer Series Paper patterns from Stampin' Up!
(Please note: the DSP and stamp set in the photo below have retired and are no longer available)
