Sending Smiles Pocket Card

I'm loving this first sample fun fold card that I have for you - it might be my favorite of the group! I used the Sending Smiles bundle and Pretty Prints patterned paper from Stampin' Up!® for this card. This is the first card I've used this patterned paper on, and I love it! It really is so pretty. 

Basic supplies for this card:
Patterned Paper: 5" x 10 1/2", score at 5 1/4" and 1 1/2". Then at 1/2" on each side.
Cardstock: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
Cardstock (insert): 5" x 3 3/4"
White or vanilla cardstock: 4 3/4" x 3 1/2"

This Sending Smiles card is done in Calypso Coral. I stamped the flower in Calypso Coral and Pear Pizzazz and cut it out using the Sending dies. 

For this card, I wanted an extra "&" on the inside. I used some scotch tape to cover Love and Big Hugs on the stamp. Then, I inked the stamp with Soft Suede. I peeled off the scotch tape and stamped the "&" where I wanted it on the insert. So easy!

Happiness Abounds with this Fun Fold

The Hues of Happiness suite is so beautiful! I've already gotten so much use out of it. And it works perfectly for this fun fold card. I love the way that the patterned paper is a gradient on one side. This way, when I folded down the pocket, I got a different color (blue) under the flowers from the color (yellow) under the insert.

Peaceful Moments Pocket Card

I love mixing black and white patterns with a pop of pink. The starkness of the black and white are softened by the softer color. The Perfectly Penciled background paper is perfect for this fun fold card design. It has a beautiful floral print on on side and a checked design on the other.

I colored the flowers on the front with Petal Pink Stampin' Blends, but then, I realized they were pretty much dried up. So, for the flower on the inside of the card, I used Calypso Coral. I colored the stems with Mint Macaron to keep it soft.

For this card, I cut the edge with the Basic Borders dies before I glued it together. Honestly, I meant to do this on a couple of the other cards, but I kept forgetting until after they were glued and then, it's too late. I love the way that it adds additional interest to the pocket flap.

The flower on the inside of this card was cut from another piece of the Perfectly Penciled patterned paper. I used my Paper Snips to cut out the design and adhere it to the card insert.
