Most of you know I love fun fold cards. However, today I bring you a a standard fold card. I think you will love it! I am absolutely loving the sale-a-bration Softly Stippled designer series paper. My last card featured shades of pebbled path with sponged color. This card is lighter and brighter, focusing on Lost Lagoon and Wild Wheat.
This is a super easy card to make and it includes a few unexpected techniques. To give your card that little something, something think of embossing folders and wink of stella. Add a little ribbon and tinsel gems for a finishing touch to create the sweetest hello card.

Project Tutorial:
Fold the card base and burnish the fold with a bone folder
Use Stampin’ Cut Emboss Machine (Standard for embossing folder) (Standard or mini for cropping)
- Wild Wheat DSP place in the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder so the raised embossed finish will be on the colored side of the DSP and run through the embossing machine
- Basic White – 2″ x 1-1/2″ crop using the smalled rectangle in the Nested Essentials Dies
Stamp the rectangle using a “C” size clear block with the Hello sentiment (Heartfelt Hellos Cling Stamp Set) in Wild Wheat Classic Ink.
Stamp the basic white CS card interior using a “D” size clear block with the sentiment (Heartfelt Hexagon Photopolymer Stamp Set) – once stamped adhere the 2 pieces of DSP to the top and bottom with the Basic White Cardstock. Then adhere to interior of card
*Hot Tip: Brush Wink of Stella over the embossed Wild Wheat DSP to give the paper a bit of sparkly simmer, then adhere the DSP to the card base card front with your choice of Stampin’ Seal or “green glue” Tombow Multiuse glue
Adhere the 2 pieces of 2-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ Lost Lagoon and Floral DSP together at a mismatched angle. Wrap Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon around approximated 1/2 to 2/3 way down paper and tie in a bow on the front. **Hot Tip: Brush Wink of Stella over ribbon and bow to add a little simmer to the ribbon
Adhere the retangle Hello die cut above the bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Finish card by embellishing with three Lost Lagoon Tinsel Gems
To give a final finishing punch! Adhere the Wild Wheat/Lost Lagoon Softly Stippled DSP to the envelope flap and fussy cut to fit
Happy Stamping Everyone! I really hope you enjoyed today’s card! Donna
